Here are some suggestions:
Sé que no tienes mucho hambre pero al menos come un poco.
("tienes" is the "tú" form, which matches with the command form "come" later in the sentence; "al menos" = "at least")
El chino es un idioma muy complejo a diferencia del inglés que es más sencillo.
(In Spanish, when speaking generally about a language, you have to use the indefinite article before it, so in Spanish we say literally "the Chinese" or "the English". Also, "mas" = but, "más" = more. "A diferencia de" means "unlike")
La escuela recaudó dos millones de dólares para su nuevo programa de música.
(This sentence needs the preterite "recaudó" because the structure of this sentence suggests that the action of raising money is complete and definite at the time of writing. "Dólares" requires an accent to keep the stress on the first syllable. "Para" should be used here instead of "por", because "para" is used to show the intended recipient or benefitted party of an action or gift. "El programa" is one of those nouns ending in "a" that are nonetheless masculine, so it needs a masculine adjective.)
