    I think you meant to say something like "Our transportation has changed because some of the people will go there directly. We have one shuttle bus for your daily transportation." "Intraday" is a stockmarket term and isn't used often at all and wouldn't be used in that context.

    Favorite food?

    Clearly, there are a lot of cultures that are interacting here. With different cultures, there are different fun things like music and food. I love food, a lot. My favorite food is cherry pie with vanilla bean ice cream. What is your favorite food?

    You're right. It should be "there are".

    The story of you

    I'm currently feeling tired of the status of what I am, but I'm trying to find my life goal.
    Everyone has their own characteristics, but each individual, also like a mirror, and you can see there're (No such word/contraction as "there're". You would just write out "there are". You wouldn't use it in this sentence anyway.) might be some small parts are similar to yours. I believe through discussion to with other people might help you refresh your values and make the new idea happen.
    If you are willing to share your experience of how you find your goal, and how you reach it, or if even you are confused like me do, send me message if you want to share your story with me.
    I'm thinking about through this process to inspire me something and I hope in the future I can turn it into a small illustration project to commemorate the cogitation (I think you mean "cognition". This wouldn't be a good place to use that word. I think you meant "thought". I would try rewording the sentence to make it clearer to the reader.) about me and the friends who's join this project in late of 2013.
    Coco Chanel found her passion and eventually success on in fashion. Steve Jobs go went down in history of for his innovative thinking. Maybe we can't be as famous as they did were, but what's your dream and passion for life? What makes you special and meaningful?

     

    Overall, your writing is very good. Try working on the sentence structure. A lot of your sentences went on too long and became confusing. Breaking up sentences like I did to some of the above will help. Start with one subject and one verb and work up to more sophisticated sentences once you've mastered the simpler ones. Also, make sure the tenses stay uniform. You changed from past tense to present tense in the middle of the sentence and that gets confusing. Very good job :)

    They're exactly the same. "Needn't" is more formal and, like Han Choi said, it's never used. It's one of those phrases that has been phased out due to English's nature to constantly simplify itself.

    There isn't a difference really. Either would get your point across. If you want to split hairs, the first one sounds more like you donated money to a kids program instead of actually volunteering to help. The second one sounds like you volunteered and did actual work. If you really want to distinguish the difference, you would come out and say "I volunteered to help the kids programs during the summer" or "I donated to help the kids program during the summer." As they are, they both sound just as helpful.

    "Each person" would be the subject. "in our family" is a prepositional phrase and can't be a subject. "Plays" is obviously your verb. "A musical instrument" is the object.

    My favorite is also American Horror Story. I also really like Family Guy and American Dad which are pretty much the same so they really have to be mentioned together. I really like True Blood and Dexter as well

    It means that you overcame a statistic. You overcame an obstacle. It's an expression, so there's not really another way to say it and hold on to the sentiment of it. The feeling changes when you use another phrase similar to it.
