My level of English is poor so I need to learn!
Hello everyone! I am from China, 24 years old. I am an outgoing and pleasant with a gentle heart1 If you need to help in learning Chinese, I can help2. I hope we can become friends3! This is who I am, someone with a sunny disposition.
My level of English is poor so I need to learn.
1. Since you are writing an introduction to strangers, you must use words that don't make you look like you are bragging. I can understand that your English is not good and need help. At the same time correcting your English is not good enough. You must also learn the cultural aspects of English so as not to commit social blunders. When in doubt translate into Chinese and see how the meaning comes across. For example, when you write, "lovely and clever girl" - 我是個聰明而美丽的女子. This is bragging. For a girl to be active is not good. This is English slang for a girl who is active sexually! Outgoing is a better word. This is a common mistake. If you look at my corrections, there are many girl fall into the same language trap.
2. You must explain what kind of help you can offer. Especially when combined with the next sentence, "come to me", the meaning can be construed as a "come on" advertisment for 尋花問柳, 妓院青樓 activities! So I have changed the words.
3. You have to become friends first before becoming good friends.
