I'm glad to meet you.

Hi,

Can you please point out my mistakes in the following paragraphs?

"I'm glad to meet you. I have heard a lot about you before. I even know what kinds of food you like; what kinds of clothes you wear; what kinds of colours you consider good. You are a balanced personality. You are a true torch-bearer of the western way of life. You do not follow western clothing blindly.

I would not use semicolons to separate the phrases. Use commas.

Or "fashion".

@emsr2d2

If I use "fashion" then should I use "the" before "western"?

 

[Rover_KE]

No.

I'm glad to meet you.

I'd use It's a pleasure/honour to meet you.

A social note (not really about English, except in that British English people tend to value ttheir privacy): your sentences are mostly right, with the changes other teachers have noted. But as a conversational gambit it‘s rather overwhelming. You risk making the person you‘re talking to think you‘ve been stalking them.

It‘s a mistake to prepare the precise text of a conversation in a language you‘re learning. (But that doesn‘t mean you can‘t prepare - vocabulary, idioms, useful grammatical formats...

Good luck.
