对不起……
对不起,我的[1]朋友们[2],我今年非常忙!我现在[3]是女人!我现在很高兴!^^
----
[1] 我=I wihle my=我的
[2]朋友=friend while freinds=朋友们
[3] Here is really odd to me. If you want to say 'am' instead of other tense, you can express it as '是'. Because 是=am, is, are, were, was. Has/have been=已经是
对不起。。。
对不起,我的朋友们,我今年非常忙!我现在是女人!You are a female now? So what were you in the past? Do you mean you have had a transsexual operation? 我现在很高兴!^^

Dear April,
Hello, I'm Charles. Several days ago, I saw this Chinese writing and was very puzzled about this sentence "我现在是女人!". Mr. Drowen thought you mght have said: "I am a housewife now". Of course, he is totally wrong. But why this divergence?
I thought and thought again. Now I would like to give you my explanation.
You might want to say "I'm a girl/woman and I'm very happy now." Usually, boys or girls refer to these from five to sixteen in English, I think. So it is ok or even more suitable to say "I'm a woman."
However, things a different in Chinese. When we say "她从女孩变成了女人"(she became a woman out of a girl), it means that she has experienced sexual life and she may have a baby now.
Generally, we call a female "女孩"(girl) before she is 30.
Moreover, gender is unchangeable. If you say "我现在是女人"(I am NOW a woman), Chinese people might thougt that "我以前是男人"(I was a man before.).
All in all, I guess what you want to express is "我是一个女孩子".
I have two good English friends. So I especially like Brithsh people.
All the best
Yours
Chrales
