- It means to close the door. It's has a slightly old-fashioned feel to it but is still heard occasionally (UK). "Please shut/push the door to" = "Please shut/close the door" (NB: "close the door to" sounds a bit odd) "Please shut the door too" = "Please shut/close the door" (as well as other things eg switch on the light)0 votedJuly 25, 20200
- They're grammatically correct. "Dropping" is usually "droppings" though. They sound OK but a little "matter of fact" when in actuality something like this would be out of the ordinary (depending on context of course) but you do include "also" and "as well" to indicate this, or similar, has happened before. The second sentence has slightly more stress on the fact that this is happening again. To be honest in a polite conversation and without reverting to childlike, inoffensive words for excretion, these are probably fine as they are.0 votedJuly 25, 20200
Good try. I fully understand. However:
I've had my hair cut recently but now I regret it. At first I just wanted it cut a little bit to make my hair seem neater because it was just so chaotic, but they didn't really care even after I said what I wanted. Then, of course, the result was exactly what I expected, it's too short! After I came back home I looked at myself in the mirror and the more I looked the less I liked it. I took the scissors and cut my bangs myself lol, but it wasn't any better. It makes me look more stupid! The next day I went to get my hair curled. Finally, guess what?! Does it look better now? Nope! It's even worse haha. So I learnt my lesson; the more you expect the more you are disappointed .
Notes: 'I cut my hair' is increasingly said and is OK especially in US English. i is always I. I've left the lol and haha in even though not gramatically correct. Don't forget the difference between it's and its.
EDIT: "Bangs" - ugh! US English - I'm not entirely sure what it means.

Once a friend told me that when someone knows how to speak in others' languages, they can also have others' souls.
This expression was surprising to me and so I want to share it with you.I'm not 100% happy with the first sentence. Maybe this is better:
