Some ideas from my class

Today, when we discussed race and ethnicity in my English class it reminded me of a story. A white mother called her daughter a taxi and the driver was black. So the daughter asked her mother why they have different colored skin, and the mother said that was because God wanted to make our world more colorful, so he created different skin colorings. I felt so warm when I heard this. I think we can use our love and kindness to make our world better. I also hope that I can become this kind of mother who says gentle words one day.

some ideas from my class

Today, we discussed about race and ethnicity when I took my English class. This reminded me of a story. A white mother took her daughter into a taxi, and the driver was a black person. So the daughter asked her mother why they have different colored skin. The mother said that because God wanted to make our world more colorful, so he created the different skin color of people. I felt so warm when I heard this. I think we can use our love and kindness to make our world better. I also hope that I can become this kind of mother who can say gentle words one day.
________________________________________________________________________________

The first sentence isn't technically wrong, but a more natural way of saying it would be <Today, we discussed race and ethnicity in my English class.>

A more natural way to say <A white mother took her daughter into a taxi> would be <A white mother and her daughter took a taxi>

A more natural way to say <the skin color of different people" is <people with different skin color>.

I deleted the "because" in this sentence: "The mother said that because God wanted to make our world more colorful, so he created the different skin color of people." "Because" and "so" are acting the same way in this sentence, and you only need to use one of them. The sentence structure could be "Because of [x], [y]." Or it could be "[x], so [y]. Both of these sentences means that [x] caused [y]. For example, I could write "Because I was hungry, I ate dinner" or I could write "I was hungry, so I at dinner." Both mean the same thing. It would be incorrect to write "Because I was hungry, so I ate dinner."

Remember to capitalize "I" and to put a space after a period.

I also made a couple changes where I put a period and started a new sentence instead of having a comma. In written English, when there are two independent clauses (an independent clause is something with a subject (noun) and predicate (verb) that can be it's own sentence), they can be joined by a comma and a conjunction (words like "and," "but," "or") or they can be made into two separate sentences. For example, I could have changed the first sentence to <Today, we discussed about race and ethnicity when I took my English class, and this reminded me of a story.>

I hope this helps, and I hope that we can all use our love and kindness to make the world a better place :)
