A good initial attempt considering you are not english. Mine is different, in UK english. There are a couple of things which i think you need review in regard to the actual content of this piece.
* - The fact he had a good memory is entirely unrelated to the fact he was an author. We have no evidence that his books were from experience. Moreover even if this were true, a good memory doesn't make you a good author. Having said all this, books are like art and any opinion is not fact unless it is based on the grammer/punctuation
** - She was good at language, however language is not a career or a profession. Language is a skill which would be usefull in a career. Therefore i do not see how that was a barrier in her becoming a school teacher. In fact if she wanted to teach language then it can only be of benefit.
*** - Not quite sure about what this last sentance refers to. Is it a name or a title.
