She enjoy eating at two type of restaurants; italian and mexican.

There are a few errors in this sentence.

Here is what it should look like:

She enjoys eating at two types of restaurants, Italian and Mexican.

- the verb enjoy must agree with the subject she

-type must be plural because you are talking about two restaurants in your sentences

- I believe a comma should follow restaurants because there needs to be a pause.

You don't use a semicolon in this case because you are not connecting an independent clause. Independent clauses can stand alone meaning it is a complete thought/complete sentence. In your case Italian and Mexican cannot do cannot stand alone.

**Not only are semicolons used to connect independent clauses they are also used connect a thought meaning if the first part of the sentence is an independent clause but the second part isn't and it continues on talking about the first part of the sentence then you would put a semicolon between the two. For example: Love isn't something you experience; it's something you chose to do even when it is hard to do. (I made this sentence up).

Hopefully this helps and good luck.

explanation:

there on the beach was a struggling turtle.   around its bright green neck was a loop of soda can rings.   in order to the planet, i have made a few changes to my life.   the first change is reducing the number of straws used. the second change was to recycle.   finally, i have worked hard to clean up litter.   it is important to clean our ocean.

you may not think straws have a large impact but they do.   imagine for every straw you sip out of a poor, , adorable turtle is being harmed.   one way i chipped in to is by using metal straws.   these straws are reusable and inexpensive.   another change is simply turning down straws.   by refusing a straw, i’m the turtles one drink at a time.  

however, the ocean just doesn't have turtles.   there are lots of creatures that live there and are harmed by all the litter.   to prevent litter from growing it’s important to recycle.   for me, i have started to buy most goods that are made out of recycled material.   pura vidas, chacos, purses, and too many other items to even count.   plus, when you buy those products they give money to charities.   not only am i the environment, but i’m also feeling better about my self.   finally, i have worked hard to clean up litter.   it is important to clean our ocean.
