Hi Valerio and welcome! Your English is very good but you do need to remember to use capital letters at the beginning of sentences and for names. Also, use full stops in phrases that contain main verbs. You are using commas instead at the moment. I have made a couple of other changes below but nothing major.
The chat facility is really just writing to each other so you don't need a camera :) Post some more soon and I look forward to hearing from you again! Ros
Hi. My name is Valerio Peralta Torres. I live in Tekax Yucatan. Actually, I’m 45 years old. I’m married, I got with two sons. I’m a barber, . My goal is to improve my English. I studied English about 20 years ago or more. Please correct my English if I write something wrong because I have forgotten a lot of things. I would like to know if I need a camera to chat, because in at this moment I don’t have one. Please somebody - answer me soon.
Sorry - the sentence starting "I'm married" should read "I'm married with two sons". Ros
Oh - the formatting isn't showing the words I've crossed out so also it should read "because at this moment I don't have one"
I'm mozambican, I'm also a teacher of English in my country but I think it's necessary to improve my english. My colleaguese are used to speaking native language and it doean't help me and my teaching. Any person to correct my mistakes!!
Hi!
Thanks for this. The spelling itself is great. My advice would be to review capitalisation rules and rules surrounding punctuation. Apostrophes can be confusing but make sure you're using them for contractions like 'I'm' and 'I've'.
Thanks,
Becky :)
