The first day of my summer holiday
Today is the first day of my summer holiday. (Always capitalize the first letter of the first word in a sentence.)
I'm a chinese girl and now study in college. (You need an apostrophe when using contractions. Use 'a' instead of 'an' when the next word starts with a consonant.)
I like sports, especially swimming. (Always capitalize 'I' when used as a pronoun.)
I like dogs, traveling, and eating nice food. (Dog should be plural since you like more than one or you need to be specific as to which dog you like. Add, -ing to eat for the present participle form.)
I have a boyfriend 5 years older than me.
We met for two years ago and 14 days later was Chinese Valentine's Day, so I was very except excited it. (This sentence is difficult. I assumed you met your boyfriend 2 years ago and that Chinese Valentine's Day was 14 days later. The next part of the sentence I am unsure of so I indicated you were excited about the circumstance.)
I hope our my friends will be happy and I hope know to make many new friends here. (Typically, we make friends or get to know people.)
I removed some commas and made short sentences. They are easier to read and understand.
I hope this helps.

There is a way to make me relax in these days, humming a melody created by myself. I can not remember a whole of song, so I perfer to hum the melody that comes to my mind. It always makes me smile when the housewife in a cartoon called Our Family was singing a song "Don't Blame Him". Now I do not listen to any pop music now. The songs I knew I forgot easily. I am grateful that I got in touch in with music when I was young. I was enjoying listening to the classical music for a long time. I think music could really effect people to think good.
I agree with you.

Every year, in the day of the Qing Ming Festival, we Chinese need to go back home to visit a grave. Today I'd like to talk about a woeful thing that happened in the festival. I have a grandpa who has no relationship with me. He is very strict with his daughter as well as me , and I was afraid of him when I was a child, but no one will keep their youth forever. Now, he is old , and his daughter has gotten married and gave birth to a son, so my "grandpa" has a grandson. But My "sister" immigrated to the United States, thus my grandparents have no rely on child to rely on in China.
After visiting some graves, he told us that one day he was alone , and suddenly, he felt dizzy and even couldn't be on his feet. At that time, he thought about his grandson who he has never met , and he was so sad that he can't help to it brought tears to his eyes.
Besides, a while ago, there was something wrong with my grandma's foot , and she needed to do have surgery. However, nop one could help to care of for her , until at last, my mother looked after her in the hospital for three days.
There is a proverb in China , "养儿防老" ， which means people bring up sons(daughters) to provide for their old age. The Another saying is "滴水之恩，当涌泉相报" , all in all , which tells us to be grateful to our parents. Actually, I can't understand my "sister". She already has a good development in Shanghai. Why did she have to take go away from her parents? Maybe someone may say she is chasing her dream; I still can't agree with you.
I think my "sister" is a selfish daughter.
I'm interested in listening to views from different people about thanksgiving to parents. Thanks.Very good story.
In America, we honor our parents on Mother's and Father's day, or at least we should. Actually, we should honor them everyday. It is difficult though because we try to make a life for ourselves and time for our parents gets less and less. When they get old, most of the time they are put in an assisted living facility because we do not have time for them. We should return to taking care of our own and maybe one day we will.

Dear Sir or Madam, (or you can say, To whom it may concern)
I would like to make a complaint against the staff of your supermarket. I am one of your regular customers and I do shopping on at your store each Friday. If you would like to check the details my bill number is 4578451DDSHRD, you will get my details. Yesterday, I went to your supermarket to purchase accessories and some household things. When I was looking in the rows about the for items on my list, which I had one of the members of your staff was cleaning the floor and there was no sign or symbol (wet floor) which I wish I could have seen, but there wasn’t any. Due to this I slipped on the floor and I got a severe back pain. If your staff would have made paid a little attention towards some etiquette this detail, then this injury would not have happened.
I request that you to arrange a training session for your staff members so that this mistake will not be repeated. Also, tell them to be more attentive while at work.
Yours Sincerely
XYZThis is a good letter but a few points:
There is a saying, You get more flys with honey - means if you are nice, then perhaps you will get what you want. Your letter is a little harsh.
Typically, in America, we would start the letter by saying who we are and provide our details. Then we would indicate the purpose of the letter, in this case, the concern for safety. Then we would suggest rememdies to the situation.

In the past, many people had skills such as making their own clothes and doing repairs to things in the house. In many countries, nowadays, skills like these are disappearing.
Why do you think this change is happening?
How far is this situation true in your country?
We make our identity in the society, with the skills we own have. Skills can be of any type. From artist to an actor, from musician to a director everybody has their own level of expertise. There are so many people who can make their own clothes and many who are willing to repair small faults in their place by themselves. Still, people are forgetting the importance of being an expert in their art.
In the past, many people had skills such as making their own clothes and repairing things in the house. Nowadays, people are getting modernized. They are heading towards the 21st century where such things doesn’t don't matter to anyone. Today, we can get ready made clothes, automatic gadgets, and modern machines from the market. Their greed of getting rich and wealthy is making them lazy and money minded. The majority of the population don’t want to get involved in making things and repairing things. They believe it’s just a waste of time. “Demand is equal to supply”. As the demand is rapidly increasing, industries are manufacturing more and more goods in order to fulfill the needs. The young generation are way far from being an experts in anything. They just know how to spend money and get things to work.
This can be rectified and solved by raising awareness. Parents should not give money to children’s for unnecessary things. Rather, encourage them that, if something goes wrong to try to and fix it, instead of replacing it or getting something new. This way children can learn the importance of being an expert or having skills in them.
The situation in my country are is the same as in others. People like luxurious things. I always try to explain to them people the importance of being proficient with basic skills. However, we have a phrase, “Big thing comes in small packet”. Therefore, if every individual try then we can bring a revolution.I think you did a good job but a couple of small points:
Making clothes and doing repairs are basic skills for self-sufficiency.
Even if one does not want to do for themselves, knowing how to do them at least will keep them from being taken advantage of by others.
One does not need to be an expert or be proficient at a particular skill.
