Hi,

I've gone through the first paragraph for you and highlighted problems in the rest. Your main difficulty seems to be the use of singular/plural, verb tenses and knowing when you need a determiner. There are other errors as well though. Once again, NO CAPITAL LETTER AFTER COMMAS! Nicely planned essay. Sender/receiver not the right choice of words. You might want to find an alternative
