"I enjoy playing soccer as it keeps me in shape, allows me to communicate with my friends and improves my sense of working and cooperating with others."
Marked version:
"I enjoy playing soccer as it keeps me in shape, allowing me to interact easily with my friends and improve friendship with others.
Why did she replace "allows" with "allowing"? What does keeping in shape have to do with INTERACTION?
ARG.
And isn't it supposed to be ".. and improves friendship.." instead of ".. and improve friendship.."?
I..
am SO self-sudying this year for.. 'Subject X'. Rrrr.
MISS LEE I MISS YOU.
VAN AND I MISS YOU.
But for now, I shall look like a good, untroublesome student and conform. And conform I will, until the hatred within builds a sculpture high enough within me to reach my mouth.
Also: Tonight is the first night ever that I will shave.
Sigh. Goodbye, good old firstbuds.

And anyway, you're wrong.

Replacing the word 'allows' with 'allowing' changes the sentence into a past-participle form. Therefore, the later verbs cannot end with '-ing', '-ed' or '-s'.
