run-on sentence:

1.Now with an enthusiasm to to teach people who aim to achieve high proficiency of English the priceless wealth of knowledge and share the panguage skills I have acquired throughout these years of study, I am applying to the Master of *** at *** university as my pursuit for further study in this area.

2. Now I have gathered some evidence to support the theories I read in books that once I doubted, which in a way, to help me revise the knowledge I learnt in the past while discover and create new materials by my own to improve the teaching quality.
