Question 

You preferred to have your mistakes marked in red in your post, but when I tried to do that, I thought it would be better NOT to make your work look messy. So I pointed out 5 things to be changed in my comments like this and this. What do you think? Is it clear enough? Do you want me to use more Japanese to explain grammar? Please leave your comment here to share your opinions.
