could you plz fix my mistakes Thanks :-)?

Question

I wasn’t the kind of person who enjoyed reading at a young age. In fact, I had never actually sat down and read a book. However, sometimes my parents forced me to read a short story or a picture book which I didn’t even take seriously. Since, I didn’t enjoy reading; I always skipped pages and told my parents that I had actually read it. Therefore, I lacked of reading skills until I was ten years of age.

I didn’t used to read books or short stories because I didn’t like stories, but that it was just boring for me to sit there and read. However, I was a big fan of short stories or tales when they were told. Every night before going to be I was told stories and sometimes even jocks that made me laugh.

As I grew up, it became to the sense of me that reading is really important for me and of course for my siblings. Moreover, I started to force myself to read short stories and even picture books to improve my reading skills and to set a good example for siblings. From there on I started reading and sometimes I even read with my siblings to improve their reading skills also.

After I had the solid foundation for reading, I started to learn a new language with my mom: English. I was only around twelve years of age when I had my first English lesson. Slowly, the new language started to make sense to me and I began to apply those reading skills to the new language.

When we arrived in Canada, I was a bit familiar with the language and the first thing I did was to get books from the library. At first, I started off with short stories and then slowly went to harder and thicker books.

Now, that I am fifteen years of age I read fluently and still read books. My favorite author is RJ. Rowling, who has written the Saga’s of Darren Shan which are great books. I usually prefer to read at night or when I have nothing to do. I personally like adventure books and books that are told in first person.

Answer 1

Good story. One problem I see is that you have misspelled a word in the last sentence of your second paragraph. It is "joke" not "jock". In the third paragraph, first sentence...I would change your wording from "it became the sense of me" to " I became aware". Final paragraph, second sentence, I would change the words " which are great books" to " which is a great book" . I assume this is a homework assignment. Very nice work.

Answer 2

Nice job! Scrutinize this to find where I made corrections. It also ends abruptly and could use a concluding sentence or two - maybe something about the value of reading as an enjoyable pastime.

Answer 4

Wow. I used to be the other way around.

But I know this kind of stuff is psychological. For example say when you were a baby and you were the type who always cried when stuff got on your hand. Even if it's just a little bit. When you grow older you tend to touch stuff more. That's how the reading thing is too.

Answer 5

it is going to be "The day earlier hard paintings Day, i necessary to make the determination to the two paintings all day or to have exciting with my friends. i became saving funds to purchase a clean T.V. at that ingredient. as a result, earning some extra funds for my new T.V. has an greater fee than enjoying my friends. danger fee is the fee of what's foregone as a manner to have some thing else. Any determination that comprises a decision between 2 or extra strategies has an danger fee. In my case, the possibility fee is the happiness and excitement that could have been felt with my friends, yet, as a manner to earn some extra funds to purchase a clean T.V., I chosen to paintings all day rather of enjoying my friends."
