I usually get around our city with my husband and child in our car. When I go somewhere alone I use public transport because I don't have a driving licence. However the system of public transport is not very convenient in our city. It is easy to get to the city centre but you have to wait for an hour for a bus which goes to certain districts. In addition, buses run from the city centre to the place where I live until 10 pm. Before we bought a car we used to take a taxi when we were returning from the theatre. Also there are a lot of traffic jams in our city which can be avoided by taking a different road by car. So I'm going ta study at a driving school and pass my driving test. There are a lot of places where I walk, for example, à supermarket, parks and the seaside. And the school where I work is very close so I can walk in twenty minutes.
Hi, I live in Ho Chi Minh city - the biggest city of Viet Nam. I mostly ride the motorbike. Sometimes I either take a bus or taxi. Riding motorbike has lots of advantages: it's the fastest way to get my destination, and I don't worry too much about parking. But there are also some disadvantages like: there is a lot of noise when I ride and I can get stuck in traffic when having heavy rain.
Hi Tâm, thanks for watching and sharing your response. Here are some corrections for you: 1) 'I mostly ride a motorbike,' or, 'my motorbike,' not, 'the motorbike'. 2) 'Riding a motorbike has lots of...' not, 'Riding motorbike has lots of...'. 3) '...stuck in traffic when there is heavy rain,' not, 'when having'. Hope this helps you!
PHẠM THỊ NHUNG The most common means of transport where I live are motorbikes. It has a great disadvantage to the air that when moving will release harmful fumes. Besides, it also has many benefits such as convenient and comfortable movement.
I live in Hanoi, which is the capital of Vietnam. I mostly use public transport, especially buses because it's convenient for me to go to my academy. Sometimes I walk or cycle when I hang out with my friends or go shopping.
My house is located in Dong Anh District, which is in the suburbs of Hanoi. If you live in the city centre, you can use buses. There are several choices for you such as bus number 61, 53A or 46. You should take the number 61 or 53A because it's quite near my house. When you come to Tien Duong commune, go through 6 stops and then get off the bus. Finally, after walking about 100 meters, you arrive at my house.
In Vietnam, there are 4 domestic airlines including Vietnam Airlines, Jetstar Pacific, Vietjet Air and Bamboo Airways. About 7 years ago, I experienced a flight to Da Nang city on a Vietnam Airlines plane. It was a good flight since my seat had lots of legrooms and an air stewardess gave me a blanket so that I could sleep comfortably. That's why I have a good impression of this airline.
I live in city centren, near the North capital. Where I live, there are many means of transportation such as;bike, bicycle,car, taxi, train...If you want go around my home town, you can use motorbike, car or bus...When you take the bus and trains, they will take you to a fixed stop and you will need use another vehicle to continue moving.If you want go to the 31st Octorber, you can say: " Take number two for five stop'. And when you take car or motorbike, you will go every corner smoothly.

I either cycle or walk to school as it's quite close to where I live. Sometimes, I drive to some distant places where it takes me long hours to get there. I don't use public transports much because I suffer from motion sickness whenever I get on a bus, so it usually ruins my day.
Hi. Im Nghi from Vietnam. I either ride a motorbike or cycle to get around my city. Sometimes i use a taxi to go to the party. Here in my city, there are not much public transport. We only have rails, buses and taxis. Taking a bus is more cheaper than a taxi. Many students often use buses to go to school. The disadvantage of using bus is that it take more time to change buses and you have to walk quite far to the bus stop. In addition, it is crowed during rush hour. There are buses every 30 minutes or so. Normally you have to wait 20 minutes or more. There are always traffic jams in my city , so the fastest way to travel around the city is riding a motorbike.
Hi Truong, thanks for sharing. Here are some corrections for you: 1) '...to go to parties,' not, 'go to the party'. 2) '...there is not much public transport,' not, 'are'. 3) 'Taking a bus is cheaper than a taxi,' not, 'more cheaper'. Hope this is useful for you!

Hi, I'm Nataly A. the best way to get around your hometown is , transmilenio and take a uber B. I don't drive C. i use always public transport how Transmilenio and bus, sometimes take a uber
I live in Binh Chanh District which is quite far away from the city centre, and that's why I have to use public transport most places. There are buses every twenty minutes, and I often leave home very early and take bus number nine to go to school every single day because I want to avoid being stuck in a traffic congestion during peak hours. Compared to other kinds of public transport, buses are very convenient because there are many different routes that passengers can opt for their daily journey.Moreover, using buses is quite safe and economical for people from all different walks of life. However, there are some drawbacks that need to be considered when it comes to buses. The main problem is that these buses are frequently overcrowded, and many people are left behind at bus stops for this reason. Apart from that, there is an increasing number of pickpockets on the bus causing annoyance to some other passengers.
Thanks for sharing your response, Vy Ngo. Here is one suggestion for you: 1) '...that passengers can opt for, for their daily journey,' not, '...that passengers can opt for their daily journey'. Hope this helps you!
Hi OOE I live in HCM city in Viet Nam. Every day I travel to work by motorbike at 2pm and got home until 9pm. There is little traffic jam at that time, so I really dont feel stressed when I use traffic. I rarely use public transportations 'cos I could not bear the smell inside them. Its really awful and makes me feel sick. Riding motorbikes is freer but tired and the disadvantage is it makes the air and environment more and more polluted. I am supper glad if u could spend some time correcting my writing. Thank you LOL
Thanks for sharing your response, Yasmin. Here are a few suggestions for you: 1) '...and don't get home until 9pm,' not, '...and got home until 9pm'. 2) 'There is little traffic at that time,' not, 'There is little traffic jam at that time,'. 3) '...rarely use public transportation...' Not, 'transportations'. Hope this helps you!
Thanks Daniel and Lori, for the helpful topic thanks to your topic, I have learned a lot of useful vocabulary, just in context, on traffic and getting around city. To understand the conversation between you two is not easy for me, but step by step, after a few times watching the clip, I managed to grasp its content. Now, I want to answer some questions about how I travel around my home town. I live in Hanoi, where people use motorcycles most often to get around. I used to ride a motorbike, but I don't have it anymore. I enjoy cycling the near places, and when I have to go further, I take the bus with my free bus tickets, a privilege of retired people. You cannot imagine how the construction industry in Hanoi grows. To get somewhere in the city, I have to rely on Google Map. It tells me which bus to use, where to start, where to change the route and how much time and how much it will cost. Thank you once again for your interesting topics. I look forward to waiting for another of you.
We're so glad the lesson was helpful for you, Nam! You also wrote an excellent response. Here are some corrections for you: 1) '...cycling to nearby places...' not, '...cycling the near places...'. 2) '...and when I have to go farther...' not, 'further'. 3) 'Google Maps,' not, 'Map'. Hope this is useful for you!
@@Oxfordonlineenglish1 Thank you so much, Daniel and Lori, for the kind compliment and correction. This definitely encourages me very much to further learn English. To be honest, I can confirm that OOE now is my favorite website to learn English. Once more thanks.
I generally go to work by my motorbike. sometime, I go by car or bus, but motorbike is always my best choice. It’s very convinient. Motorbike is small so you can go anywhere at anytime regardless waiting bus or finding parking lot for your car. It has some disadvantages though, traveling by motorbike often get me wet and damp in rain, so I sometime use my car but it quite goes through fuels. I rarely take a bus since it takes me a lot of time for waiting, that easily turns me mad in hot or wet atmosphere of Vietnam typical weather . I hope the government will launch some better policies to solve these matters and encourage people using public transport more because there are more and more people use private transport as their main means to go around , that partly causes traffic jam and pollution. This problem is serious, people have to take responsibility and must be involved to handle it.
Thuy, thank you for sharing your piece of writing with us. Here are some tips: 1) It's not necessary to say 'by my motorbike'. You can say: '...by motorbike'. 2) 'Sometimes, I...' not, 'sometime, I...'. 3) 'Motorbikes are small so you can...' not, 'Motorbike is small so you can...'. Hope this helps you!

I live in the countryside, so I often use motorbikes to travel more conveniently. The use of motorbikes to travel freely can bypass the alleys. But riding a motorbike, the smell of gasoline and the sun and rain often comes to me.
I usually take a taxi to get to eat and party. but when I go home, I take the transmilenio. really the transmilenio is essential for my, because its very fast.

I live in a side town of our capital , where I travel through the week . I mostly use public transport , specifically the bus , and the metro . One of my favorite advantages is a lot of free seats , and small amount of people . The disadvantage is that all the traveling is time consuming and takes about 30 to 45 minutes . But after short while you get used to it . The only other thing that I can think of is the amount of passengers .
Thanks for sharing, Alexis. Here are some corrections for you: 1) 'I live in a town outside of our capital,' not, 'I live in a side town of our capital'. 2) Always put punctuation marks like periods and commas after the last letter: 'capital, where I travel through the week.

I don't struggle in the traffic jam when I was going to office, but I strucked many times in traffic where I was live in my previous city. It is very big city entire our beautiful country India that is hyderabad. In this city they launched metro three years ago, but still they are facing traffic issue. It is very difficult during rainy season to reach our destny. I think India is not much better traffic control than other countries. I hope it will clear in future.

Hi English teachers . Thank you so much for correcting my mistakes . I am really glad to receive your helpful and great reply. I am absolutely fascinated in following your oxford online English videos.they are clear and easy to understand.thanks again.
I live in a small city in Vietnam where there are a lot of public transport such as motorbikes, cars, buses,... They help people save time in commuting over long distances and help people be more active in daily life. But they cause many disadvantages such as global warming, environmental pollution and traffic congestion, etc. Therefore, we need to know how to use them properly.
it's great to run into a vietnamese here, i'm myself vietnamese as well, i've just read your comment, your english is flawless i have to say. i'm affraid however you got confused, motorbikes and cars are private vehicles. dont try to correct or anything, just try to make acquaince. lovely meeting you. have a great day.
I usually go around by using my bike, the city is quite a sleepy place so u will never be stuck in any traffic jams and u can also enjoy the fresh air when driving as well as some beautiful sceneries. -there are many buses in my city but the space inside is so dirty and sometimes smell.
Transport and driving I live in a small city. People usually drive their own cars or use public transportation to get around. There aren't so many options to choose from since my city is not big, but we have motorcycles, buses, and shared taxis. Some people even cycle or walk when the places they have to go aren't too far. As for my family, most of them have cars or motorcycles. My father uses his car, which is a secon-hand one. A particular thing about my father's car is that runs on petrol and gas. I don't have a car yet, but if I have one it would be a Volkswagen Beetle Convertible.
I usually commute in a bus to get to university but I get to work in my car. I mostly use in my car, sometimes I commute walking to get to supermarker and near places. I like commute the transmilenio because si very fast.

i have a lucky trip to hometown from working city. there is only one train reaching my hometown. i am not lucky enough to buy the tickets. i almost gave up the hope for going home. i just check the plane tickets by app and found some cheaper tickets. there is no direct flight for me. so i just fly by air from working city to xi'an city and then i need to transfer to train. the plane already delays after we land. it is around 5pm. and no taxi will drive us for a short distance to a nearby train station or they charge more than what i expect. they always prefer longer distances. we almost in panic and do not know what we should do. a man appears and say 20 rmb can do it for you. i am happy. this is how we arrive at the train station till we miss it. then the travel is smooth.

There are big grammatical errors in the videos, which is absurd if they are actually qualified teachers!. These videos should can help us to learn the English language, but it is scary how they deteriorate the English language! Shakespeare is killed every time that bad teachers, teach wrongly.
The popular means of transport in my town are motorbikes. Its benefits are convenient to move anywhere, easy to use. Its disadvantage is that it is very dangerous to travel when it rains
What's the best way around your hometown? The best way is using a public transport, because is the only way. Do you drive often? No, I have a car but I don't use them, because the trafic y horrible in this city. What public transport do you use regulary? I always use a bus to go to the university and come back to my home, rarely use a bike and take a taxi
The best way to get around my hometown, is using the bike, because you don´t have to stand the traffic, and also you can take the shorter way, so you can arrive early. But, I don´t drive it regularly, because to my use the bike in the avenues is very dangerous. Regularly, I take the bus, in special Transmilenio. In my way, Normally I take 70 minutes. Usually, I walk for my neighboorhoud. And rarely I take the taxi, for theme of security.
Thank you so much for this nice video! I'm trying to find October Square in London, mentioned in the video, but I failed. Does it really exist, I wonder. I would be very grateful if you answer my question. Thank you
I use different kinds of public transport to get around my hometown; depending on the weather, availability of the cab service, budget and luggage. I like to travel by my own car, its much safer and comfortable. Sometimes, when I am afraid of traffic jams, especially during political and religious rallies then I prefer to take the metro.
1- i ride bike to get around my home town. Advantages 1- i can easily go any where. 2- it saves my time. 3- i don't need to change vehicles if there is no any direct source toward my destination. Disadvantage 1- it is harmful for environment 2-it pays an extra burden on my pocket in form of fuel 3- Local transport is cheaper then it
Nice, Atif! Thanks for sharing. Here are some corrections for you: 1) 'I ride a bike...' not, 'i ride bike'. 2) '...if there is not a direct source,' not, '...if there is no any direct source'. 3) '...harmful for the environment,' not, '...harmful for environment'. Hope this is useful for you!
The means of transport hel people. for example, when i go to work I use the bus, although it is vey congested but it is the best way to get to the workplace. when Igo to the park I use the bicycle, along with my son. the air we like to feel it in the face. whe I travel to the sea I use the plane to arrive faster and safer. And when I go to the market store I use my legs.
How easy is it to travel around your country? Which method of travel do you consider safest? Why? Has travel become safer in recent years than that was in the past? What are the pros and cons of low-cost air travel? How do you think people will travel in the future? Should the government in a country focus more on rail transports or road transports? Why?
I often use electric bicycles and motorbikes to get around my hometown. It can be seen that , we are comfortable commuting , the time is controlled by us because we have our own transport . But the opposite is the frequent traffic jams, traffic accidents and environmental pollution

For long distance I use a train or an airplane.

However the system of public transport is not very convenient in our city. It is easy to get to the city centre but you have to wait for an hour for a bus which goes to certain districts. In addition, buses run from the city centre to the place where I live until 10 pm. Before we bought a car we used to take a taxi when we were returning from the theatre. Also there are a lot of traffic jams in our city which can be avoided by taking a different road by car. So I'm going ta study at a driving school and pass my driving test.
There are a lot of places where I walk, for example, à supermarket, parks and the seaside. And the school where I work is very close so I can walk in twenty minutes.
Hi, I live in Ho Chi Minh city - the biggest city of Viet Nam. I mostly ride the motorbike. Sometimes I either take a bus or taxi. Riding motorbike has lots of advantages: it's the fastest way to get my destination, and I don't worry too much about parking. But there are also some disadvantages like: there is a lot of noise when I ride and I can get stuck in traffic when having heavy rain.
Hi Tâm, thanks for watching and sharing your response. Here are some corrections for you:

The most common means of transport where I live are motorbikes. It has a great disadvantage to the air that when moving will release harmful fumes. Besides, it also has many benefits such as convenient and comfortable movement.
I live in Hanoi, which is the capital of Vietnam. I mostly use public transport, especially buses because it's convenient for me to go to my academy. Sometimes I walk or cycle when I hang out with my friends or go shopping.
My house is located in Dong Anh District, which is in the suburbs of Hanoi. If you live in the city centre, you can use buses. There are several choices for you such as bus number 61, 53A or 46. You should take the number 61 or 53A because it's quite near my house. When you come to Tien Duong commune, go through 6 stops and then get off the bus. Finally, after walking about 100 meters, you arrive at my house.
In Vietnam, there are 4 domestic airlines including Vietnam Airlines, Jetstar Pacific, Vietjet Air and Bamboo Airways. About 7 years ago, I experienced a flight to Da Nang city on a Vietnam Airlines plane. It was a good flight since my seat had lots of legrooms and an air stewardess gave me a blanket so that I could sleep comfortably. That's why I have a good impression of this airline.
I live in city centren, near the North capital. Where I live, there are many means of transportation such as;bike, bicycle,car, taxi, train...If you want go around my home town, you can use motorbike, car or bus...When you take the bus and trains, they will take you to a fixed stop and you will need use another vehicle to continue moving.If you want go to the 31st Octorber, you can say: " Take number two for five stop'. And when you take car or motorbike, you will go every corner smoothly.
Hi Thùy. Thanks for watching and sharing your response! Here are some corrections for you:

I either cycle or walk to school as it's quite close to where I live. Sometimes, I drive to some distant places where it takes me long hours to get there. I don't use public transports much because I suffer from motion sickness whenever I get on a bus, so it usually ruins my day.
Nice, Dung. Thanks for sharing. One small correction:
'...public transport,' not, 'transports'.
Hope this helps you!
Hi. Im Nghi from Vietnam. I either ride a motorbike or cycle to get around my city. Sometimes i use a taxi to go to the party. Here in my city, there are not much public transport. We only have rails, buses and taxis. Taking a bus is more cheaper than a taxi. Many students often use buses to go to school. The disadvantage of using bus is that it take more time to change buses and you have to walk quite far to the bus stop. In addition, it is crowed during rush hour. There are buses every 30 minutes or so. Normally you have to wait 20 minutes or more. There are always traffic jams in my city , so the fastest way to travel around the city is riding a motorbike.
Hi Truong, thanks for sharing. Here are some corrections for you:

Hi, I'm Nataly
A. the best way to get around your hometown is , transmilenio and take a uber
B. I don't drive
C. i use always public transport how Transmilenio and bus, sometimes take a uber
I live in Binh Chanh District which is quite far away from the city centre, and that's why I have to use public transport most places. There are buses every twenty minutes, and I often leave home very early and take bus number nine to go to school every single day because I want to avoid being stuck in a traffic congestion during peak hours. Compared to other kinds of public transport, buses are very convenient because there are many different routes that passengers can opt for their daily journey.Moreover, using buses is quite safe and economical for people from all different walks of life. However, there are some drawbacks that need to be considered when it comes to buses. The main problem is that these buses are frequently overcrowded, and many people are left behind at bus stops for this reason. Apart from that, there is an increasing number of pickpockets on the bus causing annoyance to some other passengers.
Thanks for sharing your response, Vy Ngo. Here is one suggestion for you:
1) '...that passengers can opt for, for their daily journey,' not, '...that passengers can opt for their daily journey'.

Hi OOE
I live in HCM city in Viet Nam.
Every day I travel to work by motorbike at 2pm and got home until 9pm. There is little traffic jam at that time, so I really dont feel stressed when I use traffic. I rarely use public transportations 'cos I could not bear the smell inside them. Its really awful and makes me feel sick. Riding motorbikes is freer but tired and the disadvantage is it makes the air and environment more and more polluted.
I am supper glad if u could spend some time correcting my writing. Thank you LOL
Thanks for sharing your response, Yasmin. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) '...and don't get home until 9pm,' not, '...and got home until 9pm'.

Thanks Daniel and Lori, for the helpful topic thanks to your topic, I have learned a lot of useful vocabulary, just in context, on traffic and getting around city. To understand the conversation between you two is not easy for me, but step by step, after a few times watching the clip, I managed to grasp its content. Now, I want to answer some questions about how I travel around my home town. I live in Hanoi, where people use motorcycles most often to get around. I used to ride a motorbike, but I don't have it anymore. I enjoy cycling the near places, and when I have to go further, I take the bus with my free bus tickets, a privilege of retired people. You cannot imagine how the construction industry in Hanoi grows. To get somewhere in the city, I have to rely on Google Map. It tells me which bus to use, where to start, where to change the route and how much time and how much it will cost.
Thank you once again for your interesting topics. I look forward to waiting for another of you.
We're so glad the lesson was helpful for you, Nam! You also wrote an excellent response. Here are some corrections for you:
1) '...cycling to nearby places...' not, '...cycling the near places...'.
2) '...and when I have to go farther...' not, 'further'.
3) 'Google Maps,' not, 'Map'.

I generally go to work by my motorbike. sometime, I go by car or bus, but motorbike is always my best choice. It’s very convinient. Motorbike is small so you can go anywhere at anytime regardless waiting bus or finding parking lot for your car. It has some disadvantages though, traveling by motorbike often get me wet and damp in rain, so I sometime use my car but it quite goes through fuels. I rarely take a bus since it takes me a lot of time for waiting, that easily turns me mad in hot or wet atmosphere of Vietnam typical weather . I hope the government will launch some better policies to solve these matters and encourage people using public transport more because there are more and more people use private transport as their main means to go around , that partly causes traffic jam and pollution. This problem is serious, people have to take responsibility and must be involved to handle it.
Thuy, thank you for sharing your piece of writing with us. Here are some tips:
1) It's not necessary to say 'by my motorbike'. You can say: '...by motorbike'.

I live in the countryside, so I often use motorbikes to travel more conveniently. The use of motorbikes to travel freely can bypass the alleys. But riding a motorbike, the smell of gasoline and the sun and rain often comes to me.

I live in a side town of our capital , where I travel through the week . I mostly use public transport , specifically the bus , and the metro . One of my favorite advantages is a lot of free seats , and small amount of people . The disadvantage is that all the traveling is time consuming and takes about 30 to 45 minutes . But after short while you get used to it . The only other thing that I can think of is the amount of passengers .

I live in a small city in Vietnam where there are a lot of public transport such as motorbikes, cars, buses,... They help people save time in commuting over long distances and help people be more active in daily life. But they cause many disadvantages such as global warming, environmental pollution and traffic congestion, etc. Therefore, we need to know how to use them properly.
it's great to run into a vietnamese here, i'm myself vietnamese as well, i've just read your comment, your english is flawless i have to say. i'm affraid however you got confused, motorbikes and cars are private vehicles. dont try to correct or anything, just try to make acquaince. lovely meeting you. have a great day.
I usually go around by using my bike, the city is quite a sleepy place so u will never be stuck in any traffic jams and u can also enjoy the fresh air when driving as well as some beautiful sceneries.
-there are many buses in my city but the space inside is so dirty and sometimes smell.
Transport and driving
I live in a small city. People usually drive their own cars or use public transportation to get around. There aren't so many options to choose from since my city is not big, but we have motorcycles, buses, and shared taxis. Some people even cycle or walk when the places they have to go aren't too far. As for my family, most of them have cars or motorcycles. My father uses his car, which is a secon-hand one. A particular thing about my father's car is that runs on petrol and gas. I don't have a car yet, but if I have one it would be a Volkswagen Beetle Convertible.
I usually commute in a bus to get to university but I get to work in my car. I mostly use in my car, sometimes I commute walking to get to supermarker and near places. I like commute the transmilenio because si very fast.

What's the best way around your hometown? The best way is using a public transport, because is the only way.
Do you drive often? No, I have a car but I don't use them, because the trafic y horrible in this city.
What public transport do you use regulary? I always use a bus to go to the university and come back to my home, rarely use a bike and take a taxi
I live in Punjab..usually everyone know traffic is A great problem for city peaple and awful for those who travel daily
The best way to get around my hometown, is using the bike, because you don´t have to stand the traffic, and also you can take the shorter way, so you can arrive early. But, I don´t drive it regularly, because to my use the bike in the avenues is very dangerous. Regularly, I take the bus, in special Transmilenio. In my way, Normally I take 70 minutes. Usually, I walk for my neighboorhoud. And rarely I take the taxi, for theme of security.

How do you think people will travel in the future?
Should the government in a country focus more on rail transports or road transports? Why?
I often use electric bicycles and motorbikes to get around my hometown. It can be seen that , we are comfortable commuting , the time is controlled by us because we have our own transport . But the opposite is the frequent traffic jams, traffic accidents and environmental pollution
I usually drive my car to get around my town. Because buses run for long distances only. Though taxis are there, they are pretty expensive!
I mostly use my motorbike. Even though I have a hybrid, I sometiome walk in about 10 minutes because my workplace is very close from my home.
In city,i mostly use public transport.i often take bus to study in school and work in the hotel, the bus services are very convenient with buses coming after every 10 minutes,i impress about bus, also i can easily reach every famous of the city by bus, the price just 2 dollar for one time
Thanks for telling us about your transport situation. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) 'In my city, I mostly use...' not, 'In city,i mostly use...'.
2) 'I often take the bus...' not, 'i often take bus...'.
3) '...to study at school and work at the hotel. The bus services...' not, '...to study in school and work in the hotel, the bus services...'.
Hope this helps you!
I usually use public transport so I will get the tram or sometimes buses. I really like the public transport in my area b/c it's easily to get for work or Sch. I have a bicycle & I enjoy ridding my bicycle. Sometimes I use to go gym or to college. Where I study is not that far away. My bike helps me keep my body fit. For long distance I use a train or an airplane. I also take the bus to go church but most of the time is the buses came late at the weekend.Therefore, having ur own car is more better inorder to save ur time & reach ur destination on time. Thanks alot in advance! I enjoyed Ur lecture! Your lessons are considerable & useful as usual. let me know if my writing has any mistakes.
Best wishes, Fache!
