Comments:
You have a lot of spacing and typing errors. I have automatically fixed the spacing for you for grading convenience. Please pay attention to those errors next time because it is very important to the overall layout of your paper. There are some incorrect usages of preposition and punctuation. Pay attention to your verb tense when using parallelism. Some sentences are still very confusing to me, which I am hesitant to let you pass onto the next round. However, since the main purpose of this competition is to promote English learning. I want to give you another chance to improve your writing because you have a good content in your introduction. However, be sure to take note of all the changes that I’ve suggested. Good Luck. – Thiên Bình
