Hi! I'm from the UK and am looking to improve my French - with either native speakers wanting to improve their english, or other learners.
I would like to chat via messaging, and then perhaps through skype video calls so as to improve speaking fluency.

Tolerance and Hate
Good Day Friends...
It is sad, when everyday you turn on the television, and see more bloodshed. Just after the bombing in Turkey, which was very shocking and sad, now there are police men shot down in Dallas.
I come from a country filled with a history of racial tension and even today, we are still learning to deal with that history. I feel that I/we (you've missed the subject) must learn to practice tolerance and patience. Hatred leads only to more sadness and bloodshed.
We have one planet, many beautiful and diverse cultures...let us do our best to learn from each other and let go of our own misunderstandings.I totally agree with you - and I think sites like this one are helping to break down the barriers between different cultures, allowing us to learn more about others - we need more of this!

You have the right to disagree with my opinion while I have the right to stick to it. A lot of English people say it like this, but I think that "whereas" instead of "while" is technically more correct, as saying "while" means that both phrases are happening at the same time, more like "he watched TV while I read a book"
你有权利反对我的观点，但我也有权利捍卫它。
I read an article titled The Bro Code — Booze, Sex, and the Dark Art of Dealmaking in China.
我读过一篇文章，名字叫做“兄弟规则：中国的饭局、性交易与生意潜规则”。
I mentioned it at on some websites in my own country several times.
在我自己的国家的一些网站我曾经提过它几次。

As a female I hate those phenomenons phenomena involved included in the article, finding I find them disgusting。
作为一个女性，我讨厌文章中描述的现象，觉得它们令人作呕。0 votedJuly 8, 20161The Super Typhoon Nepartak
Super typhoon Nepartak has made caused a landfall in Taiwan this early morning today early this morning/this morning/today (any of those are suitable). It comes with damaging winds and flooding rain......but the worst thing is that the food prices spiked a heads ahead of the storm.really good! :)
0 votedJuly 8, 20161The plan in the summer holiday
Hello! I'm a student from China. I had have just finished the my final exam. However, I am still unhappy now. In a On one hand, my marks didn't be pleasant to me weren't what I wanted/didn't please me (there are many options here to phrase what you are wanting to say, but how you phrased it doesn't work grammatically). They are too low! In On the other hand, we have a lot of homework to do during the summer holiday. In the next tern term, I will be in grade 9. So that it is important for me to train practise more. Move on! Fighting! Fighting! Fighting! Just keep moving!It's really good - I would point out though, that the use of the phrase "one one hand... on the other hand..." is generally used to express contrary points - eg. on one hand I wanted the summer to be warm and sunny, but on the other hand I didn't want it to be sunny as I would be more likely to get sunburnt - I wouldn't say that the phrases you've used above are opposites as such - it would work better to say: "my marks weren't what I wanted - they are too low! And on top of that, we have a lot of homework to do during the summer holiday."
Also - don't forget to put spaces after your punctuation, I've added them in above :)

My husband is a great help. He has overtaken taken over all household chores since my son is very demanding and I don't want him to cry as he has an umbilical hernia. I hope this hernia will go away itself.
My sister is still visiting me. She likes the village where I am living now although she says it's a big difference to live living in a small village or in the outskirts of Moscow.
I am feeling very drowsy after fitful nights. I am trying to catch up on sleep in the daytime but very often without any success. I feel as if my eyes have been propped open with matchsticks.
That's all my news for now. Waiting for good news from you.pretty much perfect! :)

I would like to travel to the USA, I'm from Venezuela but, it's too hard to get a visa can to find a VISA for to travel there it is too imposible. In my country the somethings(?) aren't is fine and we're suffering. I am a descendant of Portuguese and having a passport of the European Union is the only way to travel without a visa to the USthe last sentence, that I have highlighted in orange, I think I would phrase more like: "I'm part Portuguese and having an EU passport is the only way to travel to the US without a visa :)

This morning I woke up late, I haven't been sleeping well lately.
Some times work arrives arrive in to my life when I don't want it(?) wouldn't, but may be we cannot decide when things happen, we just have to take the opportunity when it's present. Recently These days, thank thanks god, several clients came to me with some cases and at the same time my workload(?) time was reduced. I'm an accountant(?) Accounting Public and I'm starting my own consultancy business of consultancy. I'm 26 years old and I thought I could do everything, but I realised me that is not true, I need help but I don't have enough resources to contract staff yet, so I thought to invite my friends to work with me. I have a couple coupple of friends who are studying at the university and I think that is a good idea, 'cause they can learn with whit real cases and they will help me at the same time.
This weekend I will call them. So, wish me luck lucky!I'm not sure if I've changed the meaning of the first sentence, but I wasn't too sure what you were trying to say - hope it's right!

In this photo I can see four people in a library, two boys and two girls, they are looking at seeing a book and I think that this book has have to be funny because they are laughing. The first boy starting from the left is wearing a brown and white brown plaid shirt, he has got a green book in his right hand, he has a brown short hair. The girl on the left is wearing a blue shirt and she has a brown hair, she is looking the pink book with the others to their partners. The boy on the right is wearing a striped shirt and the girl on the left is wearing a pink shirt and has another green book in her hands. In the background I can see a shelf shelving (or you can say "I can see shelving") with several books.:)

Today we celebrate the national flag day in Argentina to remember the day on in which its creator Manuel Belgrano died. Manuel Belgrano is not only the one who created our flag he is also one of the most important historical characters for my country and he played an important role in gaining our independence independency as a country.
To create the flag he was inspired by the colours of the Virgin Mary so he took them to for create it which was raised for first time in the city of Rosario near the river Parana, which is also where also were Belgrano’s grave is.
Belgrano died extremely absolutely poor because he gave all his money to charity and education specially to build schools all over the country, but sadly most of his money never reached the objectives as it was stolen. There is a famous story where before his death he had to pay to the doctor with a clock made of gold because he hadn't anything more / had nothing more hasn’t nothing more (this is a "double negative", which is why it is incorrect).
I think today Belgrano is an inspiration and was an honest of a honesty guy who only wanted the best for his country and ended up with no money because of this a no money instead of.(I feel that I may have changed your last sentence too much, but I wasn't sure of the intended meaning, and it didn't read right as it was)
