"Hello [STRIKE]all[/STRIKE] everyone. Let me introduce myself. My name is Simona, I'm 36 years old and I live in a very beautiful and green town called Timisoara in the west [STRIKE]side[/STRIKE] of Romania. (Space after a full stop)

Recently I bought an apartment in a large [STRIKE]house[/STRIKE] building and I have just finished [STRIKE]renovate[/STRIKE] renovating it. In front of my apartment I have a small garden, in which my dog [STRIKE]is playing[/STRIKE] plays a lot.

My favourite hobbies are listening to opera [STRIKE]music[/STRIKE] and reading books about [STRIKE]scienes[/STRIKE] science and [STRIKE]geografy[/STRIKE] geography. [STRIKE]staff.[/STRIKE]

I work as a secretary [STRIKE]in[/STRIKE] at/for a driving school [STRIKE]company[/STRIKE], [STRIKE]from[/STRIKE] Monday [STRIKE]untill[/STRIKE] to Friday, [STRIKE]from[/STRIKE] 9 [STRIKE]am[/STRIKE] to 5. [STRIKE]pm.[/STRIKE]

After work I usually [STRIKE]get[/STRIKE] go out with my friends, to a [STRIKE]mouvie[/STRIKE] movie or to do some shopping, or just to take a walk in a [STRIKE]parc[/STRIKE] park."

See above. It's important to follow these rules of written English at all times:

- Start every sentence with a capital letter.
- End every sentence with one appropriate punctuation mark.
- Always capitalise the word "I".
- Always capitalise proper nouns (English, Microsoft, Italy etc).
- Do not put a space before a comma, full stop, question mark or exclamation mark.
- Always put a space after a comma, full stop, question mark or exclamation mark.
 
After work I usually get go out with my friends, to a mouvie movie or to do some shopping, or just to take a walk in a parc park."

Is that comma really necessary here? I would write that ''I usually go out with my friends to a movie or to do some shopping.
