    You are GOOD except for a very few corrections. Congrats. Here's the corrected submission : Yesterday morning I read the newspaper of yesterday's and previous two days as I was out of station and could not find time to read them. In the afternoon I watched English news channels - BBC and CNN - to become aware of the happenings around the world. I also spoke with an English friend on internet to practice my English speaking skill.

    Very good, Rummy-ji! (You see, I am back now that I have summer vacation). A little tip--in English, when you do possessives, you will usually do them as follows: If I am talking about a book that belongs to Rummy, usually I will say "Rummy's book" (Rummy ki kitab?) So a lot of the possessives you use need to be done that way--"yesterday's newspaper". The older newspapers need to be referred to as "the newspapers from two days ago". Finally, I think the reason you watched the news channels was to "become aware" or "make myself aware". I've missed you, ji. Hope to see you around.

    As the editing toolbar is disabled, the things I suggest you add will be in all capital letters and the areas where I think things should be removed will be in these brackets. {}  My comments will be between these brackets.[]

    Well ! Yesterday morning I read YESTERDAY'S newspaper {of yesterday} and some newspapers {of} FROM TWO DAYS earlier, {2 days} as I was out of THE station and could not find time to read them. [The way that this is worded is more natural. Notice the use of the apostrophe to express possession here.] In the afternoon I watched English news channels BBC and CNN,  {as} to become aware {about} FOR myself ABOUT what is happening around the world. I also talked with MY native English friend on internet to practice my English speaking.

    I have left a few suggestions. Again, you can be understood without these changes. Keep going!  \o/
