- It was great hearing from you. I'm sorry I haven't written in so long. In your letter, you tell me about your costume party. I never had such an interesting tradition in my school, for which I can make costume. If I had, I would fancy wearing a pirate costume. I would rather make the costume myself because it is a good way to create your own unique costume. In general, I think costume parties are great opportunities to have fun with friends. By the way, can you tell me more about the museum? What historic period did your museum trip focus on? Do you like visiting museums? I should go now since I have homework to do. Write back soon! With love, (Insert your name) ~ The corrections aren't perfect as I was trying to retain your wording of it and make the letter sound more conversational ad casual. Some grammatical errors exist in my correction. I'm sorry I cannot explain my corrections...my English isn't good enough for me to explain my changes. =[ If you do have any questions though, let me know, and I will try my best to explain!0 votedApril 21, 20150
- get away from: This means to leave/move away from a person or thing. It's usually used in a negative context. If a person is dangerous, you would "get away from" that person. If a place is too loud, you would get away from that place. At least, that is the way I have used it. get away with: Like Tahar said, "get away with" means you are not caught for an action you did that you were not supposed to do. For example, he got away with cheating on a test. get off: Similar to "get off with" in the way you can use this. For example, you can say, "I got off at that train stop." You can also use it the way Tahar used it in meaning "remove/change." get off with: I would say that "get off with" would be used in a transportation context usually...for example, if you were riding a bus to school with Tom you could say, "I got off (the bus) with Tom."0 votedApril 21, 20152
About my school life
I just* took my last engineering geology class**. l will take part in the final exam of this subject.***
l do not feel happy today because of our sun sport meet. l belong to the department of civil engineering so l need to join in the walks square formation. l think this thing is boring, but l need to practice it tomorrow afternoon****.
*I feel that if you're using "just," you don't need "Today" since just kind of implies that.
**I, personally, would use class over lesson. It's not incorrect, but most people I know use "class" to refer to lessons in school.
***I don't see why you used "but" to connect you taking the final exam and you not feeling happy. Your original sentence makes you sound like you're happy to take your final but the sun sport meeting ruined that happiness. If that is what you meant, disregard my correction. However, if you meant you are happy that today was your final day of class but your sun sport event is ruining it, then your sentence needs to be revised. I hope I'm not being too confusing...
****For clarification, I would use "tomorrow at noon" or "tomorrow afternoon" depending on what you meant. "Tomorrow at noon" would indicate tomorrow at 12:00 p.m., and "tomorrow afternoon" would indicate any time after 12:00 p.m. tomorrow untol evening time, which is usually around 5:00 p.m.-ish.

If you are looking to improve other aspects of the English language, I recommend enrolling in a reputable English class or getting an English textbook. I'm new to italki so I don't know much about its features, but I did see a professional teacher tab so maybe you can make use of those if you are looking for more formal training. Best of luck to you!0 votedApril 18, 20150
