Question about English (US)
Did you know how mosquitos bite and suck blood? They have a very thin, long mouth inside of which lies a needle. This needle consists of even thinner six needles each of which has a distinct role. The outer most two needles have zig-zags on their surfaces which help make a cut into the human's skin. Another needle discharges liquid that prevents the blood from coagulate. The liquid also works as anesthesia and prevents the person from noticing the bite. Then, a relatively thick needle is inserted to suck blood, while the other two needles are working to prevent the blood from leaking. Does this sound natural?

Wow! Your mistakes are really small, and to be honest, I know native English speakers who can't write something this coherent. Awesome job. :)
