First notebook entry: Introducing myself

Let me introduce myself to you,

My name is Elin, I am 33 years old, and learning English is my passion,

and but I do not use it at work.

I was born in Taipei County，

I'm single，and there used to be were five people in my family before,

but now there are only four left,

as my dad passed away in February of last year.

My mom is a retired hair stylist.

I have a younger brother and an older sister. 

They are both married and both have children,

but my sister is divorced from her husband. 

and My mother also got a divorce from my dad when I was a teenager. 

This is the main reason why I fear (marriage/getting married).

My brother he ownes his own a telecommunications engineering company. 

My sister is a telephone operator. 

I was a real estate agent; I sold and rented houses to people,

but now I am between jobs. ~

I really like to travel. Please help me improve upgrade my English,

and, in exchange, I can teach you Chinese too.~

I am looking forward to meeting you soon. ^^





Notice the placement of punctuation marks in the edited essay. I highlighted them all in purple. Make sure to put one space after each punctuation mark, never put a space before it.
