Red means, remove, blue means I have changed
About me!
Hello, my name is David. I'm 14 years old boy...
Questions for me:
Where are you from?
I come from Recife, Brazil, and it is beautiful here!
How is it there?
Well, it is beautiful here. We have beaches, shopping, and other things... hahaha
*I don't write in english* :(
------------------------------------------
Explanations:
1) "I'm 14 years old boy..." - This should be either "I'm 14 years old" as indicated below, or "I'm a 14 year old boy". They way that you have it written, "14 years old" is a description of the singular noun "boy" so "years" should also be singular - "year". If you remove "boy" it is okay because now "14 years old" is not describing a noun, and it is multiple years.
2) "I come from Brazil, in Recife" - In English we usually say "city, country", or "smallest area, bigger area, biggest area". For example, "I am from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada". I had city, province, country. So you could change yours to "I come from Recife, Brazil". You can also say "I am from Recife, Brazil"
3) "here is beautiful" - should be changed. It is clear what you mean, but it sounds strange. It would be better as "it is beautiful here". A bit advanced now, but doing this also creates two independant clauses, which means we need a conjunction or a semi-colon. I added "and" which is a conjunction, but saying "I come from Recife, Brazil; it is beautiful here!" is also correct.
4) "How are there" - should be "how is it there", or "What is it like there"
5) "Well, here is beauty" - Should be "Well, it is beautiful here."
6) "have beach, have shopping and others" - would be a bit better if it was "We have beaches, shopping, and other things". The comman between "shopping" and "and" is optional and is called an oxford comma.
