because it is good for you to go over this essay again if you truly want to improve your writing. Still you didn't seem to use the auto-speller to get rid of those obvious ones, and you also made some new errors. Anyway, as I promised, I am now trying to correct more errors in the essay. I only picked the obvious and easy-to-correct ones.
