The sentence seems to be grammatically correct. However, it could be improved by adding a comma after "concern" to make it easier to read: "The candidates and their platforms are of vital concern for us voters."

The sentence is grammatically correct. However, it would be better to change "any moment" to "any time" or "a moment" for smoother readability. Here is the revised sentence: "Right after his inauguration, the new president did not waste any time and buckled down to work."

The counselor gave an advise that the student already anticipated.
 
The counselor gave an advise that the student already anticipated.
The sentence has a grammatical error. "Advise" is a verb and should be changed to "advice," which is a noun. Also, since "advice" is an uncountable noun, it should not be preceded by "an." Here is the corrected sentence: "The counselor gave advice that the student already anticipated."

Thank you!
