First notebook entry: Introducing myself

Hello, I'm Sophia, coming from China. I have been learning English for more than ten years. But (you should not start a sentence with "but") I feel my language skills still need to be improved, especially in writing and speaking. I like lots of things (it would be more appropriate to state "a lot of things"), such as singing and traveling. Really wish to find some friends who can talk with me. :P

Your paragraph is fine. Very conversational and relaxed English. The things I pointed out make sense and is common to many an English speaker, but are not technically correct. For formal writing those errors may not be acceptable. Great job overall.

The word but is used to connect a dependant clause (it depends on another part to make it a complete thought, it is not a complete sentence on its own) with an independant clause (which can be a complete sentence on its own).

In the last sentence, the word "I" is the subject, so it can't be left out in formal writing, although that is exactly how we actually say it in informal speech.
