Punctuation does matter a lot!
This is exactly how I felt after reading some of your writings.
You can write much better than that. Take a look at the following image, they are called punctuation signs.
Funnies and cartoons can be quite useful too.

The first International Women’s Day events were held in March 1911. Meetings, events
and protests were held across Europe with the largest demonstrations attracting more than
30,000 people. Women and men came together to talk about the need for women to have
basic rights afforded to them – the right to vote, the right to work, the right to speak out in
public and the right to earn an equal wage.
While many of those basic rights have now been afforded to women in Australia, there are
still many women all across the world who are not legally allowed to own land, who are not
permitted to work in certain jobs and who experience violence at home every day.
The video below shows some interesting facts and statistics about the changes and developments that have impacted women in the workforce.

THE BIG CHALLENGE contest
The First European English Contest for Schools
What is The Big Challenge?
The Big Challenge is an English language contest for students between the ages of 11 and 16. It is held every year in May in schools across France, Germany and Spain. In 2011, over 646,000 students with 30,000 teachers from 6,000 schools participated in The Big Challenge. Created in France in 1999 by a group of English teachers, its main purpose is to motivate students learning languages with an educational yet fun experience.
At the request of teachers and students alike, we have developed a new internet tool: THE BIG CHALLENGE CLUB. The club enables teachers of French, Spanish, German and English to make contact, develop exchanges, plan projects and communicate with classes all over Europe … it also gives their students the opportunity to find pen palsspeaking all these languages.

HADRIAN'S WALL
It was in the dense forests of free Germany when emperor Augustus lost three legions, 18,000 men, due to an attack by the local tribes. It was then that the emperor advised his successors to keep the Roman Empire within its limits.
Of the established Roman frontiers, Hadrian's Wall in northern England and the Antonine Wall in Scotland are amongst the best preserved. These two Roman frontiers show us the way to a history, where imperial power was at its peak and demonstrate where it went wrong for the Romans in Britain, and in the whole of the Empire...
Mile castles on Hadrian's Wall had gateways, where soldiers could check who was coming and going.
Remains of a 'mile castle' on Hadrian's Wall. The Romans built 80 of these little forts along the Wall, one every Roman mile (about 1480 metres).
Portchester was one of the forts the Romans built to guard the coast of Britain.
This is what it probably looked like in Roman times.
Lunt Fort (Coventry) is a modern reconstruction of a Roman fort. This photo shows a side view of the wooden walls and gate.
After all the reading and watching about Hadrian's Wall try to complete the following tasks below:

These two Roman frontiers show us the way to a history, where imperial power was at its peak and demonstrate where it went wrong for the Romans in Britain, and in the whole of the Empire...
The emperor Hadrian visited Britannia in AD 122 and ordered his generals to build a wall from the Tyne to the Solway, to prevent raiders from the north destroying the strategic Roman base at Corbridge, in Northumberland.
Hadrian’s Wall was 80 Roman miles long - about 73 modern miles or 117 km. It was built in 5 mile stretches, with seventeen forts. Smaller forts called ‘milecastles’ were built every mile and between these were signal turrets.
Building the wall was a huge undertaking; it took 15 years to build, and sons followed fathers into guarding the wall. Eighteen thousand soldiers worked on it, and 4 million tonnes of stone were used. It served as a frontier for several Roman incursions into Caledonia.
Much of Hadrian's Wall was about 10 Roman feet wide - 3m or 9.7 modern feet. It stood about 5 to 6 metres tall (16 to 20 feet).
By AD 367 the wall was attacked by an alliance of tribes as part of the‘Barbarian Conspiracy’. The Roman peace – ‘Pax Romana’ - was restored for a short time, but by AD 400 the Empire which had stretched from Newcastle to the Nile was in crisis and the frontier was abandoned.
Mile castles on Hadrian's Wall had gateways, where soldiers could check who was coming and going.
