Please correct my text!

 

Hi! My name is Olga. I live in Russia, in the beautiful and historic city of Veliky Novgorod. I study English and Italian languages for free communication I'm studying English and Italian so I can communicate with interesting people. I like to travel, to cook dishes of different countries meals originating from different countries. In my spare time, I conduct practice an active way of living (I don't understand. *Syntax, sense of the sentence*): Kundalini yoga, creativity, collect seashells, etc. (etc. (et cetera) used for indicating that there is more to the list) ))) I will be glad would love to meet and communicate with talk to cheerful people. I will gladly help you to learn teach you Russian language in exchange for English and Italian lessons. for me)))

Very good! Keep it up! I understood your text, you just need to practice some more :) good luck!

The apostrophe ( ' ) is usually used to replace the letter "i". For example, instead of "it is", people used to take away the "i" and say " 'tis ". Same this with " 'twas ". It's supposed to be "it was". They abbreviated words with apostrophes like this in the same way that we currently abbreviate "can not" into "can't". Or "it is" into "it's". I hope that makes sense :) However, they used to abbreviate words like that in the olden days. (Shakespearean times I think). No one uses this anymore. If you used this in front of native English speakers, you might get a few giggles! Good luck :)
