100 DAYS CHALLENGE, DAY #3
Day 3 of my personal 100 days challenge of writing in English every single day. I do appreciate people reading my notes and correcting my mistakes. The corrections can be extremely valuable.
Sometimes they give me an example of how to express certain ideas differently to make them sound natural. I believe making things sound natural for native speakers is the most challenging thing for ESL students. Especially for those who can't spend enough time in the USA or Canada or any other English speaking country. You can (passively) get various examples of how to say this or that from the books or the movies, but one day you'll inevitably have to express a thought you've never heard anywhere. Something you've never had an example of. And that's where you do need feedback.
Another benefit of corrections is that they can give you an idea of systematic issues you may be missing. I realized I'm constantly struggling with punctuation. It has almost nothing to do with punctuation in Russian, and I keep making mistakes.
Thank you so much for the corrections! They do help!

Good job! I only found these few issues (and I'm a professional editor for a major publishing house)) I gave you grammatical corrections in green, and stylistic/idiomatic suggestions in yellow. Let me know if you have any questions.
