Could you correct my English?

My wife's friends came to visit us in Rome at the end of last year. They are ex-colleagues of my wife and they often went drink together when she worked in Japan. Since my wife doesn't speak either English or Italian well, I showed them around for the whole day. Unfortunately, it was very cold; it might have been the coldest day since I came to Rome. We couldn't easily find a restaurant. Almost all the restaurants were offering only a special menu on that day that was very expensive. We managed to find a good one. We stayed at the restaurant until the New Year came because we wanted to see the fireworks in the Colosseum at exactly midnight. However, this was a mistake for us. I will talk about the rest tomorrow.

Studying English in a foreign country

I'm taking an A level class for which I have to know two foreign languages. I had English in school for six years. Of course I took it for the first one. My second language is Latin but I won't study it here. ;)
My teacher told me last time I'm really bad at speaking English. It will be an oral test so I thought about spending some time in Scotland, Ireland or England.

Popularity like order. <em>?? I'm sorry but I don't understand what you're trying to say here.</em>

It isn't easy for a young good-looking woman to travel alone in a foreign country. I hope to get to know some people here on italki so that I'm not as alone my first time in an English speaking Land. :D

First time on italki

This is my first time on italki. I'm from Brazil, speak Portuguese and I'm new to the English language. I hope that this is a place where I can have good friends and I can learn a lot.

Thank you.

Dialogue

Father: If only you had read the book you wouldn't have failed the reading exam. 
Son: But I thought the exam would be next week, not today!
Father: And what are you doing now?
Son: It's only when you have a good excuse that you have a chance to repeat the exam.
Father: I'd rather you forgot about doing bizarre things.
Son: I wish you were able to help me with this problem.
Father: And how can I help you? 
Son: You could say that you have been in the hospital for the last two weeks...

I want to improve my oral English.

Hello, everyone from all over the world! I am a native in Guangzhou and an English learner. I do hope to improve my oral English and make friends with some foreigners who can speak English smoothly. I only can speak Cantonese and Chinese. I am poor in English. If someone wants to make friends with me, you can add my Skype number: live：554762784.
I am very pleased to make friends with you! Thank you!
