About my plan two months ago and my new plan
Hi,
I decided to give up my job two months ago. I can live and study with my money. I have that just only enough for 6 months, so I usually avoid to playing and anything else.
I really, really want to learn English because I feel like an idiots when I can't speak English with foreign people whom I meet on a bus or a train; when I can't learn from free courses about economics or technology;, and my salary is very low, with a work job need requiring time not a brain. Those are my the reasons I need to change my life. [Or: Those are my reasons for changing my life.] And the key is English.
About two years ago, I learned English by myself, and I failed because I get took a course with very high fees very high, but I didn't get [Teacher's note: did you mean "gain" or "understand"?] anything. Then I go went to work. And now, with my for the above-noted reasons, I am learning English again.
I need to speak English well. I can read a simple books, and blogs. My listening skill I think is just ok, I think. But my writing and speaking I are at very low levels.
I learned studied English for 2 months, and I failed with my plan., I don't didn't complete my to-do list and I still do not produce language by myself;, I just recognizes it when I read.
Now I'm trying something new to get a new result. I have to do it well. I promise. And everyday I am going to post a review about my day.
Thank you for reading my post. If I have make mistakes, please give me corrects. corrections.0 votedJuly 6, 20152Order

Thanks for your teaching today. Many phrasal verbs were mentioned: turn down, branch out and live up to. Like you said, using phrasal verbs would make you me be sound more like a native speaker. more.
It was also great to talk about the diversification of a company. Although our existing product is stable now, we all still don't know what the market will be in the future. In order to avoid the risks, we all hope to branch out into a new business. Building a new business is exhausting, for sure. We also have no idea whether it would be successful or not. We still have to invest in our future.
Thanks for sharing your favorite TV shows, including “Madn Men” and “How The States Got Their Shapes”. Recently my wife and I loved to watching “wWalking dDead”, to and enjoyed ing seeing how people survive in an isolated and dangerous situation.
Thanks for your teaching. See you.0 votedMay 14, 20150Class Memo with Jan in on Mar 30
American Beauty is one of my favorite movies. It just lets me know, "Things are not what they seem on the surface." I really recommend it to people. to watch it. [Or, "recommend that people watch it.]
When I read the story about Kevin Spacey's story, I felt it was encouraging. I admired Kevin's endeavor. I don't think I can could quit everything to search another one I want to do follow a different path/ dream. Spacey was almost on his at the top of the his film career at that time. However, he quit the gravy train and give gave up cashing in. He decided to search follow his dream to run of running a theater.
I have not been to a the theater for in a while. After reading this article, I may ask my wife to go to a the theater with me recently soon.0 votedMay 8, 20150Investment p Proposal

USA Business culture
Summary
The report goal objective of this report is to make an acquaint ance you with USA American business culture in order to overcome prevent possible misunderstandings while negotiating [this is fine; "during negotations" might be better].
Introduction
This report will look at [OK, but "examine" might be better for the tone of this paper] examine various social aspects aspects of social customs: [I think this is what you were trying to express]
- a Appearance [preferable to capitalize these items]
- b Behavior
- e Entertainment
- m Meetings
- Business Practices
Findings
American dress-code dress code [no hyphen] implies casual suit for both women and men in the light colors. The informal style is emphasized [maybe "exemplified" would work better here?] by up-done up undone topmost shirt button and rolled up shirtsleeves for men. In general Americans--even the top management--do not require a lot of personal space. Therefore open-planned offices are widespread in the USA. When talking with the American people you should escape avoid such topics as marital status, religion and politics; meanwhile, the weather, cuisine and sightseeing are always safe for discussion. As for meetings, you should plan ning them in advance and stick to the agenda. Nevertheless, the an urgent meeting might be arranged by request for the reasons of significant differences in timezone differences [what you wrote is OK, but this is a little better and more "American"]. Furthermore, you have to must mind the business hours variations in between southern and northern states. Usually southern states , e.g. Texas, (e.g. Texas) begin to work early in the morning (6 AM) and finish at 3-4 PM because of the heat outside.
Conclusion
All in all, the USA American business culture is similar to our country; however, you have to [or "must"] ensure that the assumed your / your business's [my suggestion] actions do not violate the individual or organizational set of rules, on a case-by-case basis.

Terrorism is an act of killing, harassing, horrifying and inciting violence among the peaceful P public. It has made life tough to live/living normally. Terrorism is against all the E ethical norms and a violation of human rights. The world has witnessed thousands of P people felling falling prey to this pandemic of terrorism. No country on the world map is free from its menace. More or less, It it does exists in every country, though taking it takes different shapes ['forms' would be a better word choice here].

All S suggestions are welcome :) I have put a slash at in places I felt confused. I will be adding more related paragraphs to justify the topic.This is quite good. Bravo!
I suggest reviewing the use of prepositions, like "in, at, on" as well as the use of articles like, "a, an, the". Here's a game to help you practice prepositions: http://www.eslgamesplus.com/preposition-interactive-grammar-game-for-esl-wheel-game/
Be aware the use of capitalizations; we don't capitalize words as often as in, say, German. Usually we capitalize proper nouns and adjectives, trademarks, a person's professional title (not but a job name itself), etc. This page will help: http://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/capital.asp

When I was about eighteen years old, I stayed in my house, at night, at home one night with my sister and my boyfriend. We were very bored. Suddenly, we remembered an ouija play. My sister wrote from 0 to through 9 on a piece of paper, and the alphabet, too. She took a rule (ruler?) and put it on the paper. She started and asked, "How old am I?" Amazingly the rule ruler was moving to moved, indicating 20 years old. We were frightened. It was Alan's turn and he asked, "What's my name?" We were concentrated and then the rule was moving moved to A, L, A, and N. Oh my gosh! After, unfortunately, someone (I don't know who) said, "Now if only the water go to finish stops flowing." Alan opened the sink faucet and, strangely, we didn't have water no water came out. We laughed, and then said one more sentence, "Now if only the lights go out"--and then the light went out!
I hope this helps. Some of the longer corrections are just suggestions, because I was not sure exactly what you wanted to say.
