    在我的人生中,我有超过一百位老师。我小时候最喜欢的老师是我八年级的。他叫范尼斯先生。他非常难忘的因为它改变了我对学者的态度。他又严厉又幽默的。上课的时候他很认真,但是他会开一些小玩笑为了吸引学生的注意力。我常常在上课的时候跟我的朋友聊天,不听老师的话。因为我是一名不听话的学生他让我在第一排坐着。他也罚我抄写一句话一百多次。最终我学了如何安静地坐着,听他的话。我到底取得好成绩。 他教学的风格非常棒。

    In Canada it is "Hi, how are you doing today?" Which is an awful greeting because no one wants to hear how you actually are. They just want to you to say that you are good and move on.

    Pour le mot "chercher" n'utilise pas "pour".

    Chercher qqch

    Le mot plus similar serait "to seek". 

    I seek my belongings.  Je cherche mes affairs.

    Main correction: "very fantastic" - it is not normal to add an adjective to this word. Other words you wouldn't use with an adjective would be "incredible", "terrible". You may be able to use "quite" with them, but "very" seems wrong. Other than that is is grammatically correct. I would try to avoid starting multiple sentences in a row with the same word: "We'd". Finally, you should use the oxford comma. It makes lists much easier to read. The oxford comma comes before the "and". "Tomatoes, potatoes, and lettuce."

    Your "image" is how people see you. Your personality, your beliefs, your attitude, your views on topics. Mutt - a dog with parents of different breeds. Mutt - an insult essentially calling someone lesser. If this is from a story, for example, of the Italian mafia, someone of full Italian blood may call someone a "mutt" if they have one Italian parent and one parent of a different heritage.

    Your second is more correct, but proper English would be, « I wonder with whom you spoke. » One should not end their sentences in prepositions. What time are you leaving at? Becomes At what time are you leaving?

    By definitions standards, they are very similar.  That are almost the same words, even. 

    Traitor is the most common and less formal.  You will use this almost always.

    Betrayer is more poetic and much more formal; regal, almost.   

    For example: 

    John the traitor, is a description and that is all  

    John the betrayer, is less of a description and more of a title and adds a poetic sound to it indicating something of grandeur.  Something that everyone would know the reason for.

    Though it doesn’t sound right to directly call someone a betrayer, it isn’t incorrect.  In those cases you would usually use the verb to betray (I betrayed the king) or traitor.  

    Today, it is usually only heard as “the betrayer”  in a title

    Your English is quite good.  I would assume that you do not seek to remain at the same level and seek detailed corrections.  Therefore, I will pick this apart for you.


    The Most Uplifting and the Biggest Downer (Capitalize important words in titles)

    In this review, (comma) I’m going to compare two films that happened to be rather mind-blowing to me and definitely kept me on the edge of my seat.

    -  ( referring to yourself here is unnecessary because you use "me" later in the sentence.  While it isn't incorrect, it sounds awkward to have it there twice.)

    The film is so action-packed, that it made me sit glued to the screen. However, it has a lot of sickening scenes and sometimes it  is really appalling.

    - (You needn't use "it" a second time for the same subject in the same sentence.  Example: It has an apple and is eating. Two things that are happening without a comparison.  If you look at my earlier correction, there is a comma which would require the use of the subject again.)

    Unfortunately, the film turns out to be very depressing and leaves little room for hope and this would definitely put me off watching it again.

    - (This is either a list that was not separated with a comma or a run-on sentence with so many "and"s.  You have two options here: make the description into a comma separated list or split the sentence into two.

       1. Unfortunately, the film turns out to be very depressing, and leaves little room for hope, and this would definitely put me off watching it again.

    -You would replace the first "and" with a comma.  You would, also, remove the word "this" because it has now become a list about the film and "this" would no longer refer to the reasons you listed, but the film now putting you off.

        2. Unfortunately, the film turns out to be very depressing and leaves little room for hope. This would definitely put me off watching it again.

    - In this option, you replace the second "and" with a period.  "This" is now still referring to the reasons you listed as being the reasons why you would be put off from watching the film and needs a new sentence because it is a different object.


    “The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”, has a way (not incorrect, but a very informal descriptor.  "an incredibly" "drastically" "presents quite a different") different atmosphere.

    It explores the nature of memory and romantic love and would appeal to everyone who loves romantic stories.

    - (Nothing is wrong here, but I will explain because I said the earlier sentence had too many "and"s.  This sentence uses two ideas "It explores and would appeal".  The first idea uses a two item list (ex. I have apples and bananas.) It is entirely correct to use two "and"s in one sentence when one is for a joining items in a list and the other is for joining two ideas.

    This story depicts two former lovers: (colon) Joel (Jim Carrey) and Clemetine (Kate Winslet) who, after having spent two years together, (another comma) try to come (In English we "work" or "go" through breakups) through a sickening break-up. When Joel receives a note saying that Clementine has had him erased from her memory, Joel decides to do the same. As a medical crew enters Joel’s brain to hunt down his memories, he realizes, too late, (commas) that he wants to keep them.
