The sentences need a little work:
"A jean made from USA was good" would be better as:
"A pair of jeans made in the USA was good" or "The jeans, made in the USA, were good."
"A woman- in her 30s,carrying her baby girl, dressing in white blouse-talks to her husband everyday on phone" would be improved as:
"A woman in her 30s, dressed in a white blouse and carrying her baby girl, talks to her husband by phone every day."
"A table with another chairs was broken by the thief" would be better as:
"A table and some chairs were broken by the thief" or "The thief broke a table and a chair / some chairs."
