I see you conjugated the verb tener in the second person instead of the third person, perhaps misinterpreting my suggestion to use an impersonal construct. You have most likely not learned how to make the sentence impersonal, though, so using either the third (your original design) or the second person is good enough for now. When you do learn about the impersonal se, you'll use it whenever you aren't addressing a specific individual.

Good job!
