I will do so in the revision and pay attention to the punctuation.
Thanks for your help, Bob.

my chef, proficient in cooking, rude in behaviour. He prepares delicious food in no time. An expert, no doubt.

Caught in between the traffic , I stand aghast. Wholly drenched, the clothes cling to the body. My feet trapped in the slush remains static. I attempt to pull them out, I slip and slope.
