This is an entry from my diary. Please check it and correct any mistakes.

Last night, a centipede appeared at my room and I was scared to death. I don’t understand why it would happened. The most frightening thing is, according to some online sources, centipedes usually appears in a pair. I couldn’t find the other one last night but I still went to bed because it was said that centipede’s toxicity can’t kill human.

Up to now, I have simply made corrections to your posts and hoped you would learn from them. I'm taking a different tack now (because your English is pretty good). In the quote box above, I have marked up or made comments in red and bold. Now it's time for you to try and fix it yourself.

@Maybo. That's more like it! Well done. I'm sure that if you'd taken the time to go over your original post before submitting it, you'd have spotted at least two of those errors yourself.
