Welcome to the PE blog! Good work writing your responses. One general tip we can give you is do not forget to check your spelling. The words “because”, “Whatsapp”, and “demanding” can be revised.

Look at how you can write this sentence properly:

It is becouse you change your mind and your preferences in you taste about sports, free-time, etc…

It is because you and your preferences in sports, hobbies, etc. change.
