    With all of those sentences, you can use "could" with them alone depending on the context of the conversation (You could behave well, You could have been behaving well during the party, etc). "With "might" you usually need a reason for the use of "might." "If you stop eating so much sugar, you might behave well during the party." You can also switch it: "You might behave well during the party if you stop eating so much sugar." "Might" is usually used with suggestions to a person on what they should do and why they should do it. "Could" also can be followed by a reason, but depending on the context of the discussion it can be alone.

    What do you do?

    I have been a software tester for over 12 years. It was quite easy for me to work in a software company because I studied computer science at my university. During my first several years of work, I was really fond of developing some fancy and useful tools. I always feel a sense of accomplishment when I see people using my tools to facilitate their work. It allows me to feel very proud of myself. However when I jumped into another company, I lost the opportunity of being a developer. I can only be a software tester since I did pretty well in my testing job. I assume the reason is that I am a meticulous and responsible person. I always tend to make everything perfect. Besides that, I am also a serious person and always like to pursue the root cause of every issue. All of these personality traits make me a well-qualified software tester. Being a software tester means that you need to attend meetings to discuss customer requirements with other team members, design test cases to cover each requirement, execute the test case to verify whether the software product complies with the requirement, and raise tickets if any issues are found during the test.
    After working for about 5 years, I gradually lost passion for my job. Rather, I think it's important to spend more time with my family members and teach my kid valuable life lessons. 

     I hope this helps! You have a few run-on sentences. Here is a quick link to help with run-on sentences. http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/what-are-run-on-sentences

    1. I was preparing for a meeting with my boss. OR: I prepared for a meeting with my boss. 2. Your sentence is technically correct, but it doesn't sound natural. This would be more natural: "I wrote down all the tasks my boss gave me." I added the word "down" because it is often used when referring to taking notes or writing. The "down" refers to the paper. You wrote the tasks down on paper. The word "paper" doesn't need to be added because with the word "down" the meaning of paper is already assumed knowledge. 3. I had a meeting with my colleagues at 4:00PM about the company's financial results for July. Hope this helps!
