    Good job!  Here are some grammatical suggestions:

    I'm a Chinese woman; therefore, I have the same color hair and eyes as most people - black. My hair is not too short and not too long; it is semi-long. Sometimes I will dye my hair the golden brown. I have no facial hair.

    Fantastic!  Keep up the good work!

    Good Nancy,

    Being British I obviously use the correct spelling of the word colour haha.

    It is more common to call your hair 'shoulder length hair' and I'm assuming you meant you have the same colour eyes and hair as most people in China.Glad to see you don't have facial hair it's not very becoming for a woman haha.

    I'm a Chinese woman, therefore, I have the same colour hair and eyes as most people in China - black. My hair is not too short nor too long, I have shoulder length hair. Sometimes I dye my hair  golden brown. I have no facial hair.

    Well done Nancy keep it up!

    It is good, Nancy.  Others have already pointed out all the errors you mae, and, of course, I agree with Billy about the spelling of "colour" even though I am not British.  Only Americans spell it without the "u".

    :-)

    Excellent as always!

    I'm a Chinese woman, therefore, I have the same color hair and eyes as most people: black.  My hair is not too short or not too long, therefore I have semi-long hair. Sometimes I will dye my hair golden brown. I have no facial hair.

    Nice job!

    I'm a Chinese woman, therefore, I have the same color hair and eyes as the most people(do have) - black. My hair is neither(not too) short or nor(not too) long, it is in between. Sometimes, I will dye the hair the golden brown. I have no facial hair.

    Happy learning!

    I would expect you to ignore the question about facial hair. It was directed at men. You are a woman (and a pretty one at that), so we assume you have no facial hair.

    I'm not sure if you're talking in this context:

    I am a Chinese woman and like most of the people, the color of my eyes and hair is black. My hair is not too short nor too long. Sometimes, I dye my hair with golden brown color.

     

    1. No need to say "it is semi-long" because you already stated that it's not too long nor too short. It's understood.

    2. What do you mean by facial hair?
