I am biologist hailing from Canada who is working in Afghanistan on environmental issues... Je cherche un person qui veut pratiquer leur anglais (orale ou écrite) avec moi et peut me aide avec mon français (preferably a native speaker). I have experience teaching English in professional settings and have extensive experience as an editor. So, we can speak informally or I can teach you the intricacies of English grammar :)

    A Funny Experience

    I went out with a few friends yesterday afternoon. We went to the KTV for singing. One of my friends Cai bought a ticket, which was just 9.9 yuan. We were so glad. This ticket allowed us to sing for three hours. Then, we bought some bottles of water, popcorn and other snacks. We enjoyed ourselves very much.

    Ryan's corrections are generally good but this sentence is problematic:

    "I have learned English since when I was junior high school student but when I compare now and I was 12, I think my English skill doesn't change." 

    The correction "I have learned English since I was a junior high school student but when I compare myself now to when I was 12, I don't think my English skills have changed" is both a run-on sentence and has verb problems ("have learned" doesn't make sense). Better alternatives are:  
    - I have been learning English since I was a junior highschool student. However, when I compare myself now to when I was 12, I don't think my English skills have changed. 

    - I have been learning English since I was a junior highschool student. However, I don't think my English skills have greatly improved since then.

    - While I have been learning English since I was a junior highschool student, I don't think my English skills have greatly improved over the past 10 years.

    You can say 1) "Thank you with all my heart" (More normal but VERY emphatic. If you're not very serious and extremely thankful it can appear to be insincere) 2) "Thank you from the bottom of my heart" (You can use this, but its kind of an odd expression) In general, you drop the "I" in expressions of gratitude that use "thank". Its strangely formal, even in writing. However you can say "I greatly appreciate..." where ... is whatever you appreciate (e.g. 'your help', 'the gesture' etc).
