Proof Reading
This is a proof reading from an English paper created by a Chinese teacher. I can hardly make head or tail of it, let alone correct the errors. Can you help me?
What a good party! I seldom go to parties because it’s such a problem for me to remember people’s names. I am so glad I have read that book about improving your memory. The author suggests doing exercises and they really help. I don’t worry about what people think of me anymore, and try to pay attention to what people are saying. As a result, I have a good time. I am even planning to go dancing with my friends. I’ll have an English test tomorrow so I must stop writing right now and start studying.
