[b]Hi Taruna,

A few repairs:[/b]

My name is Taruna Kagdiyal, and I live in India. I work for BPO in Back-end Processing. I enjoy my work more than anything. Sometimes I gets bored and annoyed; however, my work is my life. My best friend’s name is Poonam Bagga. She also works in BPO. We both like to go shopping and to talk on the phone. [Do not use emoticons in compositions!] She is very nice and an intelligent person.

Do you use formal language in formal situations and informal language in informal ones? The use of emoticons has its place. :stuck_out_tongue: Just be aware of the genre, text-type and register.

And that moustached smile of yours is enough of an emoticon for all of us. :lol:
