Thanks, Anna! You just need to reread the difference between ECONOMIC and ECONOMICAL though. Your first sentence refers to ECONOMIC problems (related to the economy) and your second sentence refers to the fact that you want to buy the cheapest dress (the most ECONOMICAL).

di Claire Jenkins -
Thanks, Teresa.
Just a few notes:
In your first sentence, I get the impression that you mean 'LOUDLY', rather than 'ALOUD'. Check the meaning of 'ALOUD'.
In the second sentence, you must say "it is for pregnant WOMEN'.
In the third sentence, you need to use an adjective (DESERTED), rather than a noun/verb (DESERT).

Thanks, Maria Rosaria!
In number 5, I would say 'THE top one'.
And in number 6 'desires' sounds a bit strange....I think it would be more natural to say 'everyone WANTS/LONGS/WOULD LOVE, etc. to live there'.
