My collegeMY college is a very big place, it has many departments ,my college is the Faculty of Arts, it has so many classes ,there is three buildings ,one of them is specialized for administrates, the other is specialized to department, and the third one is specializedFor the classes, there is many specializations and each of them have units for example English consists to many unit like literature linguistics writing grammar ....etc, and there is a library where the students can study, it also has cafeteria and a big garden where the students can relax themselves between the lectures.
In English, we align our text to the left.
This centering of text is an interesting phenomenon (socially, not literarily). It almost always comes from northern African arabic countries (Libya, Algeria, Tunisia). Is this how your teachers teach you to wring English? Can anyone explain it to me?
(I'm used to the punctuation being in the wrong place, because I already know that teachers in those areas general do not know how to space punctuation).
If any arabic-speaking student wants to learn how to write correct English punctuation, we can teach it here. What your teachers teach you is generally not correct. It is no more correct than if I came to your country and wrote Arabic from left to right.

In English, the rule is that adjectives are put before the word they are describing. It is not correct to write, blond long hair. The correct way is long, blond, hair. Try to rewrite the text as a series of sentences.
Example - I want to describe my close friend. She has long, blond, hair. She has big, brown eyes.
A sentence is a complete thought. "I want to describe my close friend" is a complete sentence. Don't make this so difficult by adding commas - that will come later when you have more knowledge of English. For now, try to write short sentences.
Rewrite this text and repost it - then we can make some more comments.
