Pandora, may I compliment you on your English. You sentence and punctuation
are better than a lot of English-speaking persons.
No one so far has corrected your English and you have absorbed how others
write when they are write as if they are speaking.
There is only one little word missing in your sentence. It is after
"perhaps," can you guess what it is? I'm writing this as a compliment and my
amazement as to how you've improved your English.
