Sentence 2 – Comma splice: two independent clauses joined by a comma instead of a period or conjunction.

Sentence 3 – Missing question mark after the first question; needs separation between the question and the statement.

Corrected:
I enjoy reading books. It helps me relax after work.

My friend lives in Japan. She teaches English there.

Do you like to travel? I want to visit Europe next year.
