What does 'nerdy' mean?
Recently, I realized noticed that many people use the word 'nerdy' when they are introduce themselves. What does's that exactly mean, exactly? It's Is it a positive word or a negative word?
最近看到很多人在介绍自己的时候,经常会说自己是个 nerdy ,nerdy是什么意思? 褒义词还是贬义词?*instead of "...use the word 'nerdy' when they introduce themselves" you could say "...describe themselves as nerdy" or "...use the word 'nerdy' to describe themselves"
all are OK

My favorite person is my mom. She is a great cooker, a great person, and a beatiful woman. She is tall, sometimes she yells, however she is sweet. My dog makes her crazy because it is a bad dog. I love my mom so so much.
1. "cooker" means an appliance or a machine - to talk about a person you would say "she is a great cook" or "she is a great chef" or "she cooks really well"
2. I think this is correct, but it would be more interesting to say something more specific like "...because he barks a lot" or "...because he chews the furniture" or even just "...because he behaves badly"

I am fresh here. When I log into the main website, I find that a hot topic "transnational marriage" is a hot topic. which hold my eyes on.[you could say 'holds my attention' but I think the meaning is clear if you say 'hot topic' and you don't need to say the same thing twice] In my memory To me, marriage is a bond that connect two persons people who share love, compromise on principles, forgive and tolerant tolerate each other, which can be realized only under the circumstance that one hug each other's culture that is totally different from yours, then long-term living together day in and day out, learn how to compromise when in conflict and communicate after quarrels [I'm not sure of your meaning for this part highlighted in orange. I think you could write "This can only be accomplished if each person can appreciate a culture that is totally different from their own. In a long-term relationship, each partner must learn to compromise in conflict and communicate after quarrels"]. So whether people should marry someone from another culture step into transnational marriage depends on whether you they have known each other well and how both people you solve the conflicts.

Nowadays the internet has became in the main communication network around the whole world, thanks to the social networks as like Facebook, Twitter or even Youtube.
Through the internet we can access to all an a universe of information. [I suggest including 'however' to signal that the next sentence contrasts the previous one] However, we have to know use internet carefully in a useful way and take care of protect our data and information.
Parents should be more careful with their sons and the content or information what they have access to on the web. I say this because today Colombian police found a girl who had gone missing a couple of days ago, and she had been killed was died. So, specialized researcher of the pPolice investigators have discovered that the this girl was murdered by a man she had met who she had contacted with through a social network. We can see that Teenagers are the main victims of the inadequate inappropriate [there may be a better word here - maybe careless?] use of the internet.
Parents, don´t forget parents give to supervise your sons all kind of accompaniment to avoid these dangerous situations which put your sons in danger. Stay attentive to all the sites your sons visit and people they connect with. that your sons frequent, Pay heed to all their movements and their behavior, because this could prevent to help them in case they be on are at risk.0 votedAugust 5, 20151Dragonflies

For some reason, I have read self-help magazines every day. This routine is always at the top of my top priority in my to-do list [or you could say "...is my top priority."]. In these magazines, they tell us a lot of inspired stories. They give us a hand in writing about life's solutions. Successful people's stories Stories of successful people are one of the most popular types of articles on in these magazines. I read a lot and I have tried to figure out what is separates successful people from other people. Are they intelligent? Were they born in a wealthy family? Or Aare they lucky? To me, it depends on their personality, however, what is the most important? That's is tThe strength on of their mindset which pushes them to go ahead continue and never give up. Instead of just having a dream, they always take a real action and keep moving on in their own direction to make their dream come true. They were never afraid of being failed failing because they know that there are a lot of lessons from their failures. Failures couldn't hold them back. To be honest, I'm the kind of person who always comes up with a ton of ideas. I have a lot of goals on my diary such as: getting in shape, being good at English, etc. I thought that I had spent enough time ( more than 5 years ), however, I couldn't get reach my goals. AI ask myself " Why? ". Because I lacked of patience. I always did it perfectly at the beginning, then I quitted. Fortunately, I found out my real problem and my duty now is just to fix it.
