The Student Room Group

proof read please, How does this read.

I am a highly self-motivated and hard-working individual. For example, I am teaching myself programing using online sources. This is my ambition to solve problems involving technology.

I am really passionate to start from a blank screen of a phone and build something really amazing that is beyond what I thought of my capabilities, for start I am teaching myself how to make apps using kivy.

Programming comes with a lot of problems but I see problems as an opportunity to me. Recently I struggled with a part of coding where something was missing after multiple retries and researching the web about similar problems and how to tackle it, it have taught me many things as how simple the mistakes was and I have to focus deeper when coding as it is very sensitive of what we input.

I produced videos in collaboration with a small team of my friends for social media.

I am Fluent in Persian and Urdu.



Something about this last 2 small paragraphs doesnt look right to me.

Read it out loud in front of a friend or a family member. If you trip over what you are reading, or if your listener sniggers or grimaces, you've got it wrong.

come on be real.
Honestly, it needs work. Have you re-read this yourself? Double checked? I presume this is for a potential application for Uni? Give it to one of your teachers and I'm sure they'll help you.

There are a few grammatical errors there, but forgetting those its fine.
You could improve it a lot. Word it better to sound more impressive.

Urdu and Persian is an interesting combination btw.

I am Fluent in Persian and Urdu.

The last two sentences seem somewhat random and abrupt. Try developing those points more?

Well employers are hiring your English language skills, you are wasting your time and theirs by getting your application proof read to anything significantly beyond your actual language abilities.

It is still better to read the document out loud to yourself or an English speaker - that best indicates where there are clunky bits of grammar.
