You need to pay more attention to your punctuation. Normally after a comma ',' you need to have a single space, and after a full-stop '.' or question mark '?' you should have two spaces.

Thank you for your encouragement, タチアナ・ブコワ.

And 空字, my teachers have never taught me anything about the punctuation, I'm glad to know those through your help, I will pay attention to the use of punctuation from now on, and I appreciate your help, thank you very much:)

Actually this is a very common problem among Chinese students of English. I think it mostly stems from the difference between a Chinese comma/full-stop and an English comma/full-stop.
For example:
Chinese。Chinese
English.English

You can see that the English . has no space, however with the Chinese punctuation the font automatically puts in a very large space after the 。because of this Chinese people are not used to placing a space after their punctuation because it is already there automatically. In English however we need to, otherwise it looks too crowded.

I agree with 空字--punctuation rules are very important! "?.!," have to be followed with a space.

Good luck with the internship hunt! I'm rooting for you, pal.
