Thank you.

The new year is getting nearer and nearer. (nearer isn't wrong, it would be better to say close/closer) It is less than 2 hours away. I can hear fireworks exploding outside from time to time. But I don't like to celebrate the new year by setting off fireworks. Instead, I'd like to express my warmest thanks to those who helped me on Italki in 2013, including those who answered my questions on Italki and those who made some corrections to my notebook entries.

Happy New Year.

Very good in my opinion!

Below are my corrections to your article. I'm not pretty sure if my corrections are correct. Just for your reference. Hope you keep it up.
