Story of the one group By Olga Kukhareva

        There are 5 people in our group. 5 woman's. The maximum age is 49, the minimum age is 23, and the average age is 35. Students in our group have the following occupations: housewife, bartender, two babysitters.

        We come from a total of 4 countries and present 3: America, Asian, Eurasia. 3 languages are spoken by our group: Spanish, Azerbaijani, Russian.

         The largest hometown represented in our group is Medellin, Colombia with a population of 1 000   000 million.

         Our marital status is varied. One person is single, one is separated, two married, one is divorced.

         Three of us live with family, two with room-mate.

        The person in my group who has been in New-York the longest is Martha who came here 20 years ago. By contrast, Ulkar has been here just 1,5 years. She has been in New-York the shortest of anyone in our group and we welcome her. The average length of time in New-York is about 8,6 years.

   
       "It's always nice to meet with new good people!"  


Olga,

Your contribution is appreciated. Overall, the writing quality is good. Writing improves with practice and re-writing.

Here are some suggestions.

5 woman's..... 5 are women.

housewife, bartender,  two babysitters... housewife, bartender and two babysitters. ("and" is necessary before the last thing on a list of things)


and present 3.... and represent 3


1000000 million.... 1 million- or- 1,000,000

two with room-mate.... two with room-mates


is Martha who came.... is Martha, who came


8,6 years... 8.6 years


New-York... New York


meet with new people.... meet new people



These are not major errors. Writing has an advantage over speaking. We can re-write and increase clarity.
