Write a Python program that prompts the user to enter a string of characters, reads the input from the user, and prints it back on the screen. The program should be well-organized with clear variable names, and should handle any errors that may occur during runtime. The input and output should also be formatted in a clear and user-friendly manner.

Sure! Here is the updated code with comments:

# prompt the user to enter a string of characters
print("Please enter a string of characters:")

try:
    # read the input from the user
    user_input = input()
    # print the input back on the screen
    print("You entered:", user_input)
except:
    # handle any errors that may occur during runtime
    print("An error occurred. Please enter a valid string of characters.")
