please, is this self-made sentence correct？
I remember an aged Professor said to his students that instructing undergraduates in cultivating curiosity virtually just likes telling seniors, like him, to date with opposite sex. It means it' too late to do such things and to students the period of being curious to outside world has gone. What the Professor said satirizes the hope of some school administers is in vain.

upset about my test grades
Last Sunday, I have taken my second TOEFL test. I`m very upset about my grades because it is crucial to determine whether I can get an opportunity to be transferred to a foreign university for one semester or year with funding from the government of China. Sounds like a precious chance, right? In addition,since I am in my junior year of university, this is the last time for me to win such a chance. Recently, I keep logging in the website of ETS to examine my grades, but the results haven`t been passed to me. I feel so nervous,upset,and anxious in these few days. After all, I definitely wanna communicate with others by English face to face, that`s the reward and ,in some ways, the final meaning of command of a foreign language.Plus, I really don`t want to take TOEFL third time !
But when I see so many friends on italki are learning not only one foreign language, I feel relieved a lot.I say this because we share similar joys and sorrows during the process. We are together, right?
Fight it! Enjoy it!

There are some common writing/speaking models for English test in China.
Do you think it is a good idea to using these expressions?
As we all know, ...
We can`t emphasize the importance of...(something) too much.
There is no doubt that...
I bet no one could deny that...
There is...(something) that is second to none.
Last but not the least...
On the one hand...on the other hand...
Believe me, we use them frequently on our test ,any test : )

I just suspect that this sentence is a little unnatural.What`s your opinion as a native speaker?
From the news broadcasting in the television, we can know what is happening in the outside world even without stepping out our living room with television in it.

Let`s talk about the meaning of BTA
One day,when I am wandering on Quora,I find an entertaining phenomenon.The meaning of BTA is different to Chinese and Westerners.For us,in china,when it comes to BTA, it refers to three big internet enterprise,respectively, Baidu,Tencent,Alibaba,just like Google,Facebook,Amazon in US. Until one day,some one on Quora answers a question about"Why certain Professor leave Calth for ETH zurich?",he refers it to BTA--been to America,beause the Professor is Germany and he had achieved BTA in a sense. What an Interesting culture gap! Would you tell me what you get at the first glimpse of BTA?Whether you are from US,Europe,China or any other regions.

Happy new year,good luck for all of you
Yesterday,which is the last day of 2016,I have just finished my last exam of third-year semester in university,maybe the rusult,I mean the scores or GPA, would not be ideal as I expect,but I have try my best, so let it goes. From the result of the course called Mechanical Design, I find I am anything but a Mechanical Engineer since I have no talent in Engineering drawings.Maybe I shoud choose EE or CS as my major. After all,I prefer coding to drawing.
