I moved from the US to Taiwan when I was 4 years old and left when I was almost 16 so my childhood memories are almost all of Taiwan. I am retired now and would like to return for a visit sometime soon. For this reason, and because I find the language interesting, I am trying to learn Mandarin. (Yes, it may be surprising to you, but I did not learn to speak Mandarin as a child. I attended an American boarding school and played with other American children. ) I have been told that I speak English very clearly so I think I would make a good language partner for anyone learning English. I'm new to Skype so you may have to be patient with me in the beginning but I'm sure I'll be able to figure it out. Let's do this. 加油!

    It needs a comma to be grammatically correct if it is meant to be a full sentence: Love because you want it, not ‘cause (contraction of because) you want it in return. This looks like advertising copy, though, and all sorts of poetic license is permitted in such a case. Does this help?

    "is" clear Sorry, I didn't read Simon's response very well and now I see that he didn't say anything about which article you should use. Again, I think you should use "is" clear, because ferocity and violence are uncountable nouns that require singular agreement.

    According to Wiktionary "critick" is an archaic spelling of the word "critic." I couldn't find anything on "day-tall." Now I'm curious as well.

    I also wouldn't use the article "the" in this instance. I would also use "whereby" instead of "where," because you are talking about ways in which the black community can feel better about the police presence in their lives (this word is primarily used in formal writing not spoken English). So, the sentence would read: This generates the necessity to create conditions whereby the black community can feel at ease. I agree with Simon’s excellent responses above but want to give you the reason behind his response to number 5 which is that “Ferocity and violence” are uncountable nouns that require singular agreement.

    This took me back to my childhood of growing up in a small fishing village in Taiwan some 63 years ago now. I had forgotten what fun it was to sit and talk into the fan in order to hear my warbled voice come echoing back to me. The only thing that was unfamiliar to me was the 花露水. I can't help wondering if "Florida" is an incorrect interpretation of "floral" or was coined for the purposes of advertising. At any rate I want to thank you so much for sharing these precious memories with us.

    About maintaining a healthy body.

    Being overweight is a great issue for everyone. First, people should pay attention to their consumption of food and drink. For example, drinking alcohol or sparkling water will make you thirsty without providing any nutrition. Drinking cool water before you go to bed will help you sleep well. You don't need to eat junk food such as french fries, hamburgers, or pizza. You can eat them when you really want, perhaps once or twice a month. You can also go out and eat them in a restaurant.

    Second, in my opinion, you should exercise more: go cycling, running, jogging, play a sport, etc. You can also buy a treadmill and exercise at home or go to a fitness club and exercise there with your own coach. You can go swimming and relax a little bit. My advice: Keep fit, exercise more and you will be okay.

    [I apologize if I've edited this too heavily. I'm new at this so am not entirely sure what is expected. I'm not sure if you wanted me to edit your writing as well as your grammar. Please let me know if you'd like me to explain the changes that I've made. There would have been many ways to edit this so, perhaps, another community member will provide a different edit. I applaud your efforts to learn English. Good job!]

    Would you please correct me/?

    The bar diagram shows the distribution of unpaid work hours per week who spent by married men and women spent. As it is clears, unpaid work hours per week doesn’t isn't distributed between them equally.
    When there is no child in the family, married women do housework nearly twice more often than men.
    As children are born, in these cases (1-2 or more than three children), married women do houseworks almost three times more often than men. It is clear that by increasing  when the number of children rises, women have to spend more time for doing (or "performing") houseworks, but the steep of it rate of increase is steady. However, men spend less time on unpaid work when children are born.
    In conclusion, we can see that married women generally have so much unpaid work to do at home generally, but their responsibilities are much more far greater than those of men at home when after children were are born. Maybe It can may be worthwhile to mentioned, however, that the role of men are is dominant in this culture and they spend more time to at work outside of the home providing for the family's financial support.

    Diet Organization  (With titles, capitalize all nouns...actually almost everything except prepositions like of, by, for, of, with, etc.) 

    Since I'm studying for a degree in nutrition and dietetics and I'm a really sporty person, I'm usually concerned about what I eat, regarding to the amounts of what I eat, it's quality and the combinations of foods I choose.  That's why I usually read the labels before eating something and be am very careful with the timing of eating.

    That's not always easy, because I have a very charged schedule, due to the my university studies (or "studies at my university"), the workouts and the languages classes, so I usually carry some food in my backpack so that I can eat something between classes instead of getting more and more hungry.
    However, I can't carry milk in my backpack.  I've tried, some at times, but the bottle has broken, pouring the milk on my books. That's a problem when I have to catch a train early, because I can't have milk for breakfast or within the previous hour to the a (or "my") workout.

    So, if I want to give my best in workouts, competitions and classes, I must be very accurate careful about in organizing my diet.  (Or, you could say, "I must organize my diet very accurately" though most English speakers would use the word "carefully" in this context.)
