row 3 in para 1: ...as soon as they start to go to school.
Paragraph 2:

row 5:...had to read(parallel structure)
row 6:avoid learning
Para 3:
row 2: they miss
row 4: there is an
row 4: his life.
Para 4:
row 1:difficult
Para 5:
row 1: invalid , before 'and', should omit 'both'.
row 2:Therefore, I am convinced to begin...starting school.It's the best decision we can make.(becoz you shouldn't use much cmplex sentences )
