Hi.I think you should write that:
"I want to make friends and learn English
It's really exciting to meet everyone. I'm a Chinese. I love English and I've been learn English for 8 years. But it's really upset that my English is still poor. Now, I come to italki. I know there has different people who come from different countries. And I want to make friends with you. Besides, I really hope someone can teach me English."
Thanks
