Dear friends, can anybody profread this?
The fox is a sly, bad and cautious animal. It digs a deep hole with several exits where it stays in bad weather and nurses its cubs. The fox often eats different animals, insects, fish and fruit. My friend, a hunter, repeatedly observed the following: a fox is lying on the grass pretending to be dead while silly birds are flying to it, and the fox snatches at them. Or sometimes the fox sits (is inversion possible here ? "Or sits the fox on a bank") on a bank with its tail in the water and uses it as a fishing rob.
You look very good today
I don�t understand how the (a??? ) computer works (we mean all computers)

In regards to the computer example, if you are talking about computers in general there are three ways to express such general ideas:
I do not understand how the computer works
OR
I do not understand how a computer works
OR
I do not understand how computers work
