Maybe was the first time in decades that people felt as one protesting against global terrorism,
This is one sentence. Here are my suggestions:
- Do not use 'maybe' as it is too informal. Try instead 'perhaps'.
- You don't have a subject of this sentence. What was the first time? It? This meeting?
- You need a comma after 'one'.
- End your sentence with a period.
there are reasons to consider for the result of this poll;
This is your second sentence.
- Capitalise 'there'.
- Maybe it would be better to use 'causes' instead of 'reasons'. Also, you can delete 'to consider'.
- Do not use a semi-colon. End with a period.
adult citizens had live and go through wars,
This is your third sentence.
-You need an introductory phrase. I suggest: 'The main reason is that. . ."
- You need to used the part participle (- ed endings) with the verb have. For example: 'had lived', 'had slept', 'had ran', 'had washed', etc. Check the verbs 'live' and 'go' in this sentence.
- End your sentence with a period.
some had survived and gained some privileges, others unfortunately have not come back alive.
This is your fourth sentence.
- Capitalise 'some'.
- Change the comma to a semi-colon (;).
- Put 'unfortunately' before 'others'.
- Change 'have' to 'had'.
