1. **Incorrect:** I have visited Paris, France, London, England, and Rome, Italy.
**Correct:** I have visited Paris, France; London, England; and Rome, Italy.
2. **Incorrect:** It was a long day at work, I decided to go for a walk.
**Correct:** It was a long day at work; I decided to go for a walk.
