Bonsoir,
Pouvez-vous m'indiquer si j'ai fait des fautes dans le résumé ci-dessous:
When I was 3 years old, I went to nursery school in my village. So I went to primary school when I was 6 years old. Unfortunately I was a repeater for my first class because I was immature. For secondary education, I went to a private college which is called "Victor Hugoà. It reminds me of the English teacher's name Carivan who was very sympatic. At the beginning I found Mathematics, Sports very easy. Now I prefer studying the subjets that I like as foreign languages, history. But I dislike Biology. When I consider my future life, I think to be responsible even if I make mistakes. Although I believe that my life would be interested.

Merci ... si vous pourriez m'aider ... MarTINE Seen you soon

Je suis pas un pro en anglais, mais voici quelques corrections:

When I was 3 years old, I went to the nursery school in my village. Then I went to primary school when I was 6 years old. Unfortunately I was a repeater for (je suis pas tres sur du sens, tu veux dire que tu as redouble je suppose, donc je dirais: 'I had to repeat my' ou plus simple 'I repeated my..') my first class because I was immature. For secondary education, I went to a private college which is(inutile) called "Victor Hugoà. It reminds me of the English teacher's name Carivan who was very sympatic(Attention faux ami! il faut dire nice). At the beginning I found Mathematics, Sports very easy. Now I prefer studying the subjets that I like as(comme dans le sens de par exemple c'est like)('as' peut se traduire par 'en tant que') foreign languages, history (Du coup pour eviter d'avoir deux 'like' a la suite, je dirais: "I prefer studying subjects like foreign languages..". Regle d'or de l'anaglais: toujours aller vers la phrase la plus simple!). But I dislike Biology. When I consider my future life, I think to be responsible even if I make mistakes. Although I believe that my life would be interested. ('interested':c'est un participe passe! interessante(participe present)=interesting)

desole pour les accents, j'ai un clavier qwerty!

Voici le texte corrigé (quelque corrections en plus de celles de Dada)

When I was 3 years old, I started going to the nursery school in my village. Then I started primary school when I was 6 years old. Unfortunately I had to repeat my first year because I was behind. For my secondary education, I went to ‘Victor Hugo’ private college. This reminds me of Carivan, the name of my English teacher, who was very nice . In the beginning, I found Mathematics and Sports very easy. Now I prefer studying the subjects I like, such as foreign languages and history. But I don’t like Biology. When I think about the future, I think that I will be responsible even when I make mistakes. Although I believe that my life will be interesting

Commentaires:

‘had to repeat my first year because I was behind’. ‘immautre’ is not very appropriate in this context.

It is not clear what reminded you of your teacher’s name

Is this OK: "When I think about the future, I think that I will be responsible even when I make mistakes" Everyone makes mistakes so ‘when’ not ‘if’

‘Although’ ni the last sentence does not fit into the context.
