    Top marks on this @Lu_Corde well done:

    ✅ you used your own words

    ✅ you identified the main idea

    ✅ you found relevant ideas & omitted irrelevant details

    ✅ you kept the meaning the same

    ✅ you used attributive tags

    ✅ you kept your opinion out of it

    Let’s have a look at some corrections:

    > missing article: Emma Taggart describes the main milestones of THE life and artistic career of the Polish painter Tamara the Lempicka.

    > During THE 20s and In THE 30s

    > … and moves to THE United States

    > word order: The success brings also…. > sounds better like this: The success also brings ….

    Grammatically, also can be put in lots of different places in a sentence, but changing its place will also change the meaning and emphasis of the sentence. It’s difficult to learn this as it’s a very subtle difference, but a good way to try is to basically put also next to or as close as possible to the word that you are highlighting.
