Some corrections for myself, since no one helps

It rained most time here this almost the entire weekend.  I don't know when the rain has stopped, and but now it’s wet and cold outside. I don’t use any heating facility a heater and the cold weather makes my studying a little chilly tonight. The wWeather like this gives me the real a sense of the coming of the winter. I often stay out late in my evenings, but in the winter time, it’s a disadvantage. 

NB: 'Stay out late' implies that you are out of your house (for example, with a friend at a party). If you want to say you are in your house, you could say "I often stay awake late"

When I go to bed, my feet are always cold because of my staying in the cold air, and the quilt on my bed is as cold as ice too. It’s always a little challenging for me to slip into bed during this season. When the temperature really goes down to zero, I will have to use a hot-water bottle to keep warm as a rescuer . Personally, I don’t like winter. 

[You wouldn't use 'really' with an exact temperature, like 'zero'. For example, 'when the temperature is really freezing' OR 'when the temperature goes down to zero'.]


It’s strange to maintain keep a habit like this, although even though I could can make myself more comfortable. Sometimes, I think I am one of those most stubborn ones people who stick to their old stuff routines, irrespective of whether no matter it’s good or bad. Maybe there are is some values for me in letting my room get cold to leave my room cold. A warm, cozy air room will make me sleepy and feel drowsy. Meanwhile, a cold air always keeps me awake and refreshed. A cold, still room gives me the feeling of a connection to my history between nowadays and numerous days in the past. I am afraid of dropping out of the connection, and that  the material possessions which so many pursue will numb my senses. and sense will get numb one day in a material built-up comfortable zone, which easily be pursued and many would like to follow.


A very poetic piece! Stay warm though!

Teacher Jerry, thank you very much for your suggestions! You are right on this point! But last night, the reason I posted this correction was I found some mistakes by myself, and at the time no one had come to clean it. I would never complain about no help, and I always feel gratuful since I have met many wonderful teachers! Thanks a lot!

I would like to add a couple of comments about what you said "since no one helps". There are a ton of people here that correct entries all the time. Let me suggest a few things that will help you get the help you want. 1. Remember that ALL help like you are wanting is done voluntarily. 2. Don't put up long entries because this is simply to much! Instead, add shorter note entries, because people simply do not like to correct really long ones. 3. Many of the English corrections are done here by native Americans and right now in the USA it is Thanksgiving, and a lot of people are away on vacation, visiting family etc. So, there are not as many people correcting etc. 4. The entry above is filled with mistakes but because it is so long you are decreasing the odds of anyone taking the time to fix it. (Notice that I didn't either). Simple one paragraph articles are the best. 5. Be patient and don't complain. Doing so will run off people that are willing to help you. Remember, you are not "paying" anything for this kind of help so be thankful and reward those that do help you. Jerry (English Teacher/Tutor)
