HELP MY STUDENT, please... You'll see that he has made efforts and has worked a lot... There are "only" 16 mistakes in this text, this time..., which means that you'll have to be very careful... In this extract, he'll tell you a strange story... Please, pay attention to his 16 mistakes and correct them in capital letters. for your help!

Lollove is a tiny ancient village in heart Sardinia. Years of neglect have led many to leave but an ancient curse may yet be
his saviour. Only 13 souls remain in the village that once held 500. But a new generation of Lollovesi is now returning, in
the hope of restoring the village his former glory. For children, the village used to being a true playground, where they used
to pass from one abandoned house to another, each for them a new discovery. Or they did little wooden huts in the countryside, and played with the animals…

hello,here is my work

Lollove is a tiny ancient village in THE HEART OF Sardinia.
Years of neglect have led many to leave but an ancient curse may yet be his saviour.
Only 13 souls remain in the village that once held 500.
But a new generation of LollovesiS is now returning, in the hope of restoring the village his
former glory.
For children, the village useD to BE a true playgroun, where they used to pass from one abandoned house to another, each OF them BEING a new discovery.

Or they WOULD MAKE little wooden huts in the countryside, and PLAY ( they would play)with the animals..
It is said that in Lollove there was a monastery, whith a NUNS' quarter, a convent.
These nuns started having relationships with the local shepherds; they "knew" each otherS.

The legend says the Lollove nuns were 'excommunicated' of church, and while they were leaving, they left a curse on the village, saying:"Lollove, you will be like the water of the sea, you will never grow and never die"///END OF PART ONE///

All legends have a WORD of TRUTH, but, unfortunately, documents about Lollove are SCARCE ;
they don't have documentary proof of the presence of nuns here at Lollove, who then left,
throwing a curse .
If you go and look at the tax records where the number of famillies are reported, you see
that more or less THERE always BEEN 30 or 40 families,and so ACTUALLY the village has
never grown NOR DISAPPEARDED.
"Once upon a time....it was heard from olderS, from grandmothers...'something happened with
these friards or PASTORS and when the nuns were leaving, it's said they turned around and
made the sign of the cross with their left HANDS, saying: Lollove, little Lollove, you will
die always small..."
Lollove used TO BE populated and now, there ARE only around 10 of them left....So, there is

definitely something there..."///END OF PART TWO///

In Italy, there are more than 5,000 little villages which could disappear in the COMING
10 years and with them all their traditions...Small mountain villages are emptying now...
some councils have launched One-euro houses to try and encentivise people to return.
Here, you're not in London, you're in Lollove, where there are 13 people that to-day know
your name and call you by your name to have a coffee. I think the values are very important
especially SO, given our modern world"
The villagers are currently working to relaunch Lollove as a digital detox destination.Why?
Because studies show that after 48 hours without cellphones, our bodies already start to
benefit, making us perceiving new sensations that we aren't allowed to feel in normal
routine.

I added the third part, as I made "quite an unforgivable mistake" with kennel/kernel as my sight worsens. Thus, I really read "KERNEL…" !
Que cela n'empêche pas d'autres bonnes volontés de s'exercer sur ce passage, ce n'est qu'une proposition de traduction parmi d'autres possibles.

And here is my translation of the third part of this text:

In Italy, there are more than 5,000 little villages which could disappear in/within the coming 10 years (13), and with them all their traditions… Small mountain villages are emptying now… Some councils have launched one-euro houses to try and incentivise people to return. «Here, you’re not in London, you’re in Lollove, where there are 13 people, that today know your name and call you by your name to have a coffee. I think the values are very important, especially given our modern world.» The villagers are currently (14) working hard to relaunch Lollove as a digital detox destination. Why? Because studies show that after 48 hours without cellphones, our bodies already start to benefit, making us perceive (15) new sensations that we aren’t able to (16) feel in normal routine.
«What do you think of this legend of the curse?» «I reckon it’s all rubbish… We create our own curses… » Maybe we all have the power to lift our own curses too…/// END OF THE TEXT///

FINISHED
Hello!
Here's part I :

Lollove is a tiny ancient village in the heart of Sardinia. Years of neglect have led many to leave but an ancient curse may yet be its saviour. Only 13 souls remain in the village that once held 500. But a new generation of Lollovesi is now returning, in the hope of restoring the village to its former glory. For children, the village used to be a true playground, where they used to pass from one abandoned house to another, each for them a new discovery. Or they made little wooden huts in the countryside, and played with the animals…
It is said that in Lollove there was a monastery, with a nuns’ quarter, a convent. These nuns started having relationships with the local shepherds; they « knew » each other. The legend says the Lollove nuns were ‘excommunicated’ from the church, and while they were leaving, they left a curse on the village, saying: « Lollove, you will be like the water of the sea, you will never grow and never die.» ///END OF PART ONE///

Lollove est un ancien petit village au coeur de la Sardaigne. Des années d'abandon ont conduit beaucoup (d'habitants) à partir mais une vieille malédiction peut cependant le sauver. Il ne reste que 13 âmes dans le village qui un jour en contenait 500. Mais une nouvelle génération de lollovois (*) reviennent au village, dans l'espoir de lui redonner sa gloire d'antan. Le village était un véritable terrain de jeu pour les enfants où ils avaient l'habitude de passer d'une maison abandonnée à une autre, chacune étant une nouvelle découverte pour eux. Ou bien ils construisaient de petites cabanes en bois dans la campagne, et jouaient avec les animaux...
On dit qu'à Lollove, il y avait un monastère avec un quartier de religieuses, un couvent. Ces nonnes commencèrent à avoir des relations avec les pasteurs locaux ; disons qu'ils apprirent à se "connaître"... La légende dit que les soeurs de Lollove furent "excommuniées" de l'église, et alors qu'elles partaient, elles jetèrent un sort sur le village, disant : "Lollove, tu seras comme l'eau de la mer, jamais tu ne grandiras et jamais tu ne mourras"
