. Hi Taruna,
A few repairs:
My name is Taruna Kagdiyal, and I live in India. I work for BPO in Back-end Processing. I enjoy my work more than anything. Sometimes I gets bored and annoyed; however, my work is my life. My best friend's name is Poonam Bagga. She also works in BPO. We both like to go shopping and to talk on the phone. [Do not use emoticons in compositions!] She is very nice and an intelligent person. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

Hi MM,

Can't shopping be used as a noun?

Shouldn't it be She is very nice and intelligent? _________________ Non-native speaker of English

I intend to live forever - so far, so good. |
