There's no better feedback than this. Now, I realized that I need to make some research about English Grammar Skills. Altough we have been studying English since second grade, we are mostly spanish speaker so it could be very difficult when we start again to write in English. So now, what it's important here is that now that I now how my English is, I MUST work on it.
