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.

Hi MM,

Can't shopping be used as a noun?

Quote:

Shouldn't it be She is very nice and intelligent?

Do you use formal language in formal situations and informal language in informal ones? The use of emoticons has its place. Razz Just be aware of the genre, text-type and register.

And that moustached smile of yours is enough of an emoticon for all of us. Laughing
