the italki is very good net (website)

today
i come The italki firstly (Today I'm on iTakli for the first time)
the italki is so good.   (iTalki is so good)
maybe i can improve my english quickly here  (English)
i like football
especally the BARCLAYS ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE (especially)
i am a fan of the Arsenal Club (...of Arsenal. We usually just say... Arsenal.)
about after an hour, the arsenal vs Everton will start (the Arsenal vs Everton match...)
i hope The score is 3:0
:)

A  good start.. but check the use of articles. I am a fan of Arsenal/Manchester United/Real Madrid/etc (it's similar to I am a fan of James Bond movies/Angelina Jolie/history documentaries) but when we get more specific we need an article. I want to watch THE Arsenal match at 3pm, I like THE latest James Bond film, I love THE movie where Angelina Jolie is an assassin!

 

So is it... I love the Arsenal.. or I love Arsenal ? And is it ... I'd like to play for the Manchester United or I'd like to play for Manchester United? Well, it's WITHOUT the article. But what about...  I'd like to play for the Arsenal team? Yes, we need the article now. It's THE team I want to play in. A little more specific. And ... I'm going to THE match.... to watch Arsenal play.

 

Confusing, isn't it?

 

Read some football magazines or blogs from Britain and you'll get lots of practice! Then it won't be confusing.
