I played football for my sixth-form school and I am hoping to join a university team. I'm a morning person and I get up early to train and go to the gym. So I would prefer to share with other people who don't like late nights either! Also I am vegetarian and, if possible, I would prefer to share a kitchen with other non-meat eaters.
Tips
- If the form is on paper, write clearly. Use capital letters if your handwriting isn't clear.
- If there is not much space to write, make a list instead of writing full sentences.
- Check it. It's easy to make small mistakes!
Hi Dawn,
Welcome to LearnEnglish! I'm afraid we don't correct users' writing on the site. I know it would be very useful but unfortunately we are a small team here and we have many thousands of users, so it's just not possible. We do try to answer all questions we get, however, and provide explanations where we can.
