The problem with our sentence is the misuse of "including." This is actually a very common mistake in English learners' essays.

The word "including" means we are going to mention some but not all of the previously mentioned thing(s).


Here, we can see some examples:

- They sell many types of vegetables, including carrots and potatoes.
- We studied lots of different subjects at school, including English, maths, and geography.


How do we fix the sentence?

❌ She visited three countries last year, including France, Germany and Spain.
