How would you describe how your year went?

I've been so sick since the beginning of the year that I can barely remember January and February. My family shared the household responsibilities, and my oldest son, who was 14, cooked dinner every day during that period. My 11-year-old daughter was in charge of cooking rice, and my oldest son was in charge of making miso soup and stir-fried meat and vegetables. Being sick was a nightmare, but the bright side the kids were getting better at cooking.

1. When talking about a person's current age, we use the present tense, even if we are talking about a past event.
2. "was that" was added to complete the sentence structure. Without it, it is gramatically incorrect.

1. A comma is needed after "July" to separate a dependent clause like a time clause from the main clause.
2. An article was added, usually before a singular countable noun like "job" when you're talking about it in a general sense.
It's good to hear that your year seemed to improve as it continued. What kind of job are you looking for?
