Ice cream...
I haven't had a topic in my mind, so I decided to write about ice cream. But, not just about ice cream.
Anyway, I really like vanilla cream. It's a truly pleasure for me to eat an ice cream in a summer's day. It's like a water drop in the desert. There are so many flavors of ice cream and it is so hard for me to decide what topping I want to taste. Would be strawberry or cappuccino?
I said that the ice cream isn't the only topic I want to start. What's the right form? "I said that .." or "I've said that.." in that subject. I do have some problems with using the right tense between these two. Is the first sentence right?
And I have a problem with the article. I face with situations when I don't know where I have to put the article "the" or if it is necessary.

I said earlier that the ice cream isn't the only topic I want to discuss start. What's the right form? "I said that .." or "I've said that.." in that subject. I do have some problems with using the right tense between these two. Is the first sentence right?
And I have a problem with the article. I face with situations when I don't know where I have to put the article "the" or if it is necessary. (It seems most people learning English have problems with articles and/orpropositions)
GOOD JOB! Yum i love ice cream! There is a sort of tongue twister in English "I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice Cream!" If you say it fast it sounds like you say "ice cream" a few times :)

Good writing!
I said that ice cream isn't the only topic -- "I said that" is correct. If you're not sure which to choose -- the form with 'have' or without 'have' -- pick the simple one (no 'have').
When to use 'the' -- in English, when we talk about a category or kind of thing, we DON'T use an article: so we say, "I like ice cream'. But we can add 'the' if we are pointing out a specific thing -- for example, "I love the vanilla ice cream at the Dairy Queen restaurant."
Another example:
* I'm going to wear jeans to the party. I'll wear the black jeans, not the blue jeans; they are more chic."
