I would love to have a conversation partner to practice speaking. As I am a beginner, my Vietnamese is pretty basic so I will need someone that has pretty good English language skills or we won't understand each other. I have an advanced degree from a US University (MBA) so I consider my English skill (speaking, reading. writing) to be very advanced. So, I can help you perfect your English in exchange for working with me on Vietnamese. We can meet online or in person if you live near D7 as I would prefer that vs. computer. I own a small cafe here that we can use to meet if you can practice in person - free coffee for you! I would like to practice 1 to 2 times each week if possible.

    Further on the comma, you need to use them to clearly distinguish where the introductory phrase ends. There are many funny examples online where a missing comma completely changes the meaning of the sentence. In your case, the meaning does not change but by omitting it, it turns your sentence into a sentence fragment vs. a complete sentence.

    You should write this with a comma: So, I would appreciate her to experience the same in China at this opportune time. Without the comma after "so", it sounds like a introductory phrase. If you have a comma, it sounds like a complete sentence.

    Just a couple of changes from the other correction:

    I visited the dentist today!

    Yesterday I had a toothache! I couldn't eat! I couldn't sleep! I couldn't speak! It <s style="color: rgb(0, 102, 204);">was</s> really hurt and I felt like I was almost dead. So this morning I went to visit the dentist. After the dentist examined my painful mouth,1 he figured out that there were some holes/cavities in my teeth. <s style="color: rgb(0, 138, 0);">And then he</s> He then2 proceeded to fill <s style="color: rgb(0, 138, 0);">up</s>3 those holes/cavities. Now I can smile, I can eat, I can talk. I feel alive again.

    1 You need a comma after your being a sentence with a prepositional phrase
    2 You should not start a sentence with "And" And is join to join two thoughts into a compound sentence so it is not proper to start a new sentence with it.
    3 This may vary based on location, but in the US, we just use the word fill when referring to cavities - in fact, the noun for a cavity that has been fixed is 'filling'. Also, it is very common to use the phrase 'fill in' rather than 'fill up' when referring to holes.

    I am getting fat., I want to lose weight

    I am getting fat., I want to lose weight, .Bbut it is hard.

    You want to use the noun "weight" as opposed to the verb "weigh".  Also, you have 2 choices to correct.  1.) Do as I did above, or  2.) Use a conjunction like "and" or "but" to link the sentences.  You can write as a single sentence but it sounds more natural with 2 and that way, you don't need to use a colon or have it sound a bit like a run-on sentence.

    "I am getting fat and I want to lose weight, but it is hard."

    IELTS Writing- Task 1 ( please help me correct this note book, thank you )

    The picture below shows information how regarding the (using the phrase regarding vs. how is more professional) Red River's (in English, you capitalize the full name of rivers) discharge rate had fluctuatedion (easier to change this into a noun clause) over the period of 12 months in 2013.

    In the first month, it was observed that the discharge of the rRed rRiver stood at 1000 cu ft/sec and then remained flat (remained by itelf it not descriptive.  We use remained high, remained, low, or remained flat) for the next 2 months. In April, (In April is a prepositional phrase to start a sentence so you need a comma) the static trend was broken suddenly, when the discharged rate increased significantly to almost 18000 cu ft/sec. However, there was a decrease of 15000 cu ft/sec over the next two months in June. August came with had a very strong rise back to over 25000 cu ft/sec. This upward trend was broken sharply in the next month and when the rate fell to just to almost 8000 cu ft/sec. This was followed by a another fell steadily fall for the last 3 months and in December, the discharge rate had the same level as they it had  were in March (the phrase this is referring to is 'discharge rate', which is singular noun so you need "it had"rather than 'they were").

    Overall, the discharge rate of the Red rRiver fluctuated strongly over 12 months, especially the period from March to October. September was observed as the highest number while January, February and March were fairly equal.


    Hope this helps!

    IELTS Writing- Task 1 ( please help me correct this note book, thank you

    The chart below shows information about how Istanbul Promo Plus sales how have fluctuated over the period of 12 months in one year.
    It was observed that, in the first month of this year, ("in the first month" is a prepositional phrase so it can be moved to the start of the sentence.  If it is not at the beginning of the sentence, it should have commas on either side) the sales of Istanbul Promo Plus stood at 200 million of (when stating currency, you don't need to use of or in) Turkish lira and rose slightly to reach about (about is a non ideal term when using financial terms.  It is better to say "almost" or "just over" )225 million. This was followed by another increase, there were of around 125 million higher than (you already said it was an increase so you don't need to use higher than again) over (when doing financial comparisons, you typically use the term "month over month", this simply means the change based on the same time perion) the last prior ( month.
    This upward trend was broken suddenly over the next 4 months and plummeted dramatically to get a little over 100 million in July. August showed a significant rise back to January as the same level as January figures. This was the last increase as they dropped again in September as the sales to the levels they were in July. October came with had a strong increase to get about 175 million in sales and then remained relatively static over the last three months.
    Overall, Promo Plus sales in 2007 remained relatively unchanged as in January, May and August were fairly equal* ended the year flat to January levels. Sales were at the highest in March while July and September could were be observed as the weakest numbers.

    * In financial terms, you cannot describe huge changes up and down that end the same as 'unchanged' because there were a lot of changes over the course of the year.  If you want to state sales ended in December close to what they were in January, you can use the language I put above).

    Overall, very impressive given a hard topic!

    Dairy 30.08.2018

    Well, today was not a good day to for me. I had made a mistake at my work place and now I feel ashamed because of it. I really don't want to keep it in my mind (you should re-phrase to "I can't stop thinking about it" or "I can't get it out of my mind"). Exposing it may make me feel better and bring give me the courage to get over it and fix it. There were sSome Japanese students who came to my company yesterday to learn how an overseas company operates and how bussiness works. I was responsible for explaining about Hai-Q activity to them. At first, I really could not remember what Hai-Q stands for so I made up its meaning and told them. Of course, it was totally wrong and I felt awkward. Then I tried to explain how this activity works. I asked them if they had any questions and they did not say anything. They looked so confused and I could feel it but I did not know where they were was being stuck with and I did not know how to make everything more clearly. Today, they told my boss that they did not get understand Hai-Q activity, so she explained to them again and then she showed me how to explain it in an easy way to understand way. I told myself that I had explained in that way direction, but they still did not get it. Was there any problem with my speaking? I should have tried to explain again or wrote everything as a diagram on a paper as for an example. Then, all the information might be more clearly. My boss also laughed at me because of what how I made explained the original form of Hai-Q. From now on, I will never forget what it stands for. All in all, today was not too bad, I gained experience.
