Answer

Your sentences are really good, there were just a couple thing that sounded strange to me or didn't make sense:

"A Christmas Carol" of Charles Dickens is really funny.
     -you would want to say "by Charles Dickens" instead of "of Charles Dickens"

It appears that won't miss the bus.
     -you forgot the subject - You probably meant to say "It appears that I won't miss the bus"

It sounds of a couple quarreling from the broadcast.
    -this sentence just confused me, I am not sure exactly what you are trying to say - did the broadcast 
     cause the couple to quarrel? Also, you wouldn't say "it sounds of..." - "it sounds like..." is better to    
     say.

I saw a man laughing wildly in front of the theory.
   -I just don't understand what you mean by "theory" - is it a place? other than that, the sentence
    makes sense.

They run after me for a long distance, but still can not beyond me.
   -you can't use "beyond" in this sense. You would have to say "but still can not pass me"

˙She reveals a secret of her friend to me.
   -this technically makes sense, but "She reveals a sentence about her friend to me" is better.

Hope this helps...let me know if you have any more questions, or if anything I said was unclear.
