I´ve been asked to write a paragraph titled The Golden Age of Female Singers. please tell me if this is correct thanks in advanced.:-D

The 21st century is The Golden Age of Female Singers. Since at least a decade ago women have broken the chains and become more independent in every aspect of life, in early times women had to ask for permission for almost everything, nowadays they do as they want, wear whatever they like, this is well shown in female singers. while before there were mostly men who where at the tops of every ranking in the world, we have now female megastars like Alexandra Burke, Lady Ga Ga, Beyoncee and many others who are at the top of their careers driving their fans crazy at their gigs with their incredible voices and excentrics outfits. It is fantastic the way in which women have reveled and said to the world that this is our time to shine.

Too many ideas in each sentence. Break them into smaller pieces. Also notice the edits.

Men used to sit on top of every field in the world, singing included. Now we have female megastars such as Alexandra Burke, Lady Ga Ga and Beyoncee.

Re: thanks a lot

You're welcome.

and many others who are at the top of their careers driving their fans crazy at their gigs with their incredible voices and excentrics outfits. It is fantastic the way in which women have reveled and said to the world that this is our time to shine.

With their incredible voices and excentrics outfits, these singers drive their fans crazy. These women have shown the world that it is the the time for female singers to shine.

Elhi, one technique that may help you at your stage is to try and write without using the verb "to be". This technique is called E-prime (you can read about it on Wikipedia).

ok but this is related to The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin that we read. I don´t know if you have read the story, it´s about women in the 19th century, who were supposed under men´s power. then we saw some new female singers so my teacher gave us that topic sentence and the peragraph had to be a mixture of both readings. That´s why I wrote like that, of course I know there have always been great women, we always shine, before, now and ever!!!!!!!
It´s a joke, thanks anyway for givie me your point, everything helps.

please tell me if I have written every thing correct. That will help me too.
Thanks
