My favorite number is 7, because I was born April 7 and there are so many significant events related in number 7. One of these was when I ranked number 7 during high school graduation and another was when I crowned Ms. United Nation my candidate number was 7.

Hi Angeline,

Nice to see you Angeline, and what a lovely name. Where are you from? Your level of English is already very good, so the changes I make to your passages will mostly style. I hope they help  Smiley

My favorite number is 7 because I was born on April 7th and there are also so many significant events related to the number 7. One of these was when I ranked number 7 during high school graduation and another was when I crowned Ms. United Nation and my candidate number was 7.

You would probably also need to explain more about the Ms. United Nation crowning, in order for people to know whether you meant the actual UN or an alternative version of it. Where was the ceremony held, for example? And, how were you ranked number 7 in your high school graduation? For what ability? (please excuse my lack of knowledge about this as we don't have such as ceremony in the UK)

Hi Luke,thank you! I'm from Philippines, I got your page at BBC message board. About UN crowning it was a school program, they select candidates from different sections in the class and I chose as one of the candidates. I was representing the country of Singapore. And about ranked number 7 during my high school graduation, they ranked students according to their grades/scores and I was place number 7.

Hi Angeline,

Thanks for the information, now I know more about you. You realise of course that 7 is a lucky number for many people, but do you know why?

Hi Luke,

Thank you! I'm from Philippines, I found your link on the BBC message board. With regards to the UN crowning it was a school program. They selected candidates from different sections in the class and I was chosen as one of the candidates. I was asked to representing the country of Singapore. And about the time when I was ranked number 7 during my high school graduation, they ordered students according to their grades/scores and I was placed in 7th position.
