1. I am strongly agree with you that one country should not attack another.
agree 係動詞,如果前面有 am ,一係就變 agreeing(現在進行式),一係就變 agreed(passive voice),不能不變。呢句睇唔出點夠要用現在進行式,所以:
I strongly agree...
2. To be a good salesperson, you must 〔刪去 be〕 talk to your customers, so your language skills will certainly improve.
唔只改一度喎

。Must 同 will/shall/may/can/would/should/might/could 等 modal verbs 一樣,係面要跟一個動詞。talk 已經得啦,如果一定有 be ,就同第一句一樣,一係 talked,一係 talking。但此句係講「你一定要(經常)同客講野」,所以 simple present tense 已經得,故刪去 be。
3. Many ignorant people afraid that they will catch AIDS from a public toilet.
第一,afraid 係形容詞,唔係動詞,所以要講 be afraid。由於前面係 people(多過一個人),所以變成:
Many ignorant people are afraid that...
4. We must against the unfair treatment of employees in the workplace due to their race or gender.
against 一樣唔係動詞,而係 preposition。而 must 如上述必須有動詞跟住,所以其實漏左一個動詞。可以考慮:
We must act / work against the unfair treatment...
