Hi everyone,
Thanks, nucuoithienthan, for the response. You’re my hero, little brother. I couldn’t do that when I was at your age. You are doing very well.
I have edited nucuoithienthan’s writing as below, just correcting the mistakes and making it sound right. No fancy work. If you compare the two pieces, the answer will be clear to you. No need for any explanation. However, if anyone has a question, please feel free to ask.
There are five people in my family–my father, my mother, my brother, my little sister and me. One of us is most pampered by my parents. It is my little sister Ngoc Han, because she is the only girl in my family. Now she is six years old. I am eight years older. she is really a very beautiful girl with ocean blue eyes, a straight nose, and long shimmering black hair. My mother likes to fondle her hair.
Ngoc Han always smiles. Everyone loves her. She likes to read and listen to fairy tales, such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and Prince Frog. My mother often tells her a fairy tale before she sleeps.
Ngoc Han likes to eat sweets, so she has only one upper incisor left. She has a passion for piano. She began playing piano when she was 3 years old. Now she can play more than 100 pieces of music. She also likes singing and sings very well. My father said that when Ngoc Han reaches 15, he would send her to a music college to learn. He always hopes his little and tender Ngoc Han will be a famous singer. I do too. Everyone in my family does.
GRAMMAR HINT: How do know you which noun is countable and which is uncountable?
Answer: Look it up in the dictionary 🙂
Ex: Look up the word “time” at http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/time.
“Time” has many different meanings; each meaning is a “different word” (for our current purposes). Generally, the meaning starts with “a” or “one” in the dictionary is a countable noun; the meaning starts with “the” is an uncountable noun.
So, depending on what meaning you want to use for the word “time”, it can be either countable or uncountable.

Hey, little brother, I don’t remember saying that your English was bad. Indeed, I think you are doing very well. I couldn’t write like you at your age. Probably I couldn’t do that well at 20. Just read my version and compare it with what you have written. That is how you will write better the next day. You are doing excellently. Trust my words. Don’t doubt yourself. 🙂
