If your certificate/diploma/degree/master degree in English is a quality one, you can do them correctly at first attempt. Unless you should know you were cheated. By who/whom?
Shh…
Have fun.
Yeah, thanks a lot for making this easy by thoroughly explaining what exactly we’re supposed to do with these, Mr K! 
Kidding.
“Some seconds”? I must’ve been staring at the computer screen for a whole 10 minutes before I finally decided to go with:

Dear Cristina,
Thank you. You know our Burmese grammar is quite opposite to English grammar. So to write a perfect sentence is such a job for me.
So the sentence goes like this, yes?
Unlike traditional bullet-proof vests, which can prevent serious injury, but which cannot prevent the wearer being knocked over by the impact, new vests, designed to make bullets bounce off, are being developed in the United States.
As you know there are lots of commas in it. Which I scare. lol. A wrong comma can kill the whole sentence?
You still are the best.

I found that the sentence still looks clumsy with scary commas. I think we still can improve it by rephrasing, but how?
Enlighten me please.
Have fun.
