  1. suggestions: Joe Biden was born November 20th, 1942 in the city of Scranton where he spent 10 years of his childhood before moving away to Delaware. After training as a lawyer, he became the fifth youngest senator in United States history in 1973. I like the rest of this, however you seem to be having difficulties with verb tenses: you appear to be switching between tenses often. If you look at the first part of your assignment, you started out in the past sense. Then you switched over to the present tense. Eg. initially: was born, was raised, trained, became.... then: he is, he has, would be. Alot of teachers get annoyed with this. So consider either changing everything to the past or to the present. Don't repeat Biden's name too much. Use more pronouns. Overall you've done a good job. You have enough information These are simply suggestions. If you don't find them helpful, you don't have to use them. Good luck. If you have any other questions email me and I'll try to help.
