Writing an apology letter to a friend
Dear Kevin,
I hope you're well. I regret missing your birthday party. I'm so sorry about that. I hope you understand that I have an emergency need to go back to Taiwan and my cell phone was broken when I rushed to pack my luggage which is why I didn’t inform you in time. Now I just got a new cell phone and I will try to contact you immediately.
I know you like to eat a sweet refreshment in the afternoon. I will bring you a box of pineapple cake. It is a traditional Taiwan dessert. I think you'll like it. This is only for an apology gift. For my great Kevin’s birthday gift, I will bring you a special, beautiful handmade umbrella which has fine craft on it. It is unique like you in the world. I will celebrate your birthday again when I go back to Canada.
Best Wishes,
Coco0 votedMarch 13, 20170- La langue français - je voudrais vous correcter pour moi s'il vous plait :) Actuellement, j’apprends la langue française; je pense je suis plus mieux que j’ai été avant deux mois, quand j’ai commencé apprendre française. J’aime la langue, parce que c’est la langue de romance, et je crois chaque langue est un autre personnalité. Il y a rien de mieux que lire en une deuxième langue, mais je n’est pas très bon quand je dit. J’ai appris la française a l’école pour six ans, mais je n’aime pas ça jusqu’à la poesie. Maintenant, je veux être couramment. Merci beaucoup, je voudrais de l’aide avec ma grammaire et les structures des phrases. ;)March 13, 201731
A bit of British History
Hello guys!
I'm writing again and I want to tell you which book I've been reading. Its name is "A History of Britain" by Fiona Beddall, published by Penguin Readers and I've read up to chapter 2. I've learnt about the arrival of the Romans, Angles and Saxons to the island (who actually came from the lands of Germany and Denmark), and the invasion by the Vikings and the Normans. This was in the chapter 1 but in chapter 2 I learnt about countries that conform the United Kingdom. I know a bit of history of these countries but now I am able to say more of them.
In my opinion, the most interesting history was the Irish because it was really important how Ireland has separated in two parts, the Protestant and the Catholic. At the same time, the reasons of the fights during seven centuries when in 1922 Ireland finally had won the independence of United Kingdom.
Tomorrow, I'll continue with the book and I'll start the chapter 3.
I'm going to write you the next days.
xxxxxxxxxxxP.S: Don't write 'kisses', write 'lots of love' or 'xxxxx' (which means 'kisses'.)

Being in a clique can bring a sense of belonging. Indeed, the people who belong to a clique have the same centres of interest. So, they can have the same passions, and the same subjects of conversation. If the people like nerds, Gothics, who were generally excluded, can create cliques who respond to them. If they were often criticized, they could support and help together. The people belong to a clique will feel less different. They could have a role, they could answer the question “who am I”: a nerd, a jock, a geek…When we belong to a clique, we feel important. We feel listened and heard from the other members of the group.
However, in spite of these numerous positive points, to belong to a clique can be confronted with problems. For example, when we belong to a clique, it is difficult to make new friends.1.) Write "many positive points"
OR
"numerous positive points"

English's main problem as a foreign language is that we begin to study it very early. I've been learning English for twenty years and I started learning it when I was a child, even before school. When we are adult and choose any foreign language for learning, for example French or German, we choose by ourselves, because we like that language or we need it. But most Russians begin to learn English in school, when we are just kids. It's hard to realize in childhood, that English is not just another subject at school, that it's also a very beautiful language. I've always liked books in English, I've always liked music and songs in English, but I've never understood that I like English as language too. As we often don't understand that our native language (like Russian in my case) is beautiful, we don't understand same things about English either, if we've begun to learn it in school, or even in pre-school.1) Your sentences are too long; split them into smaller ones. ;)
0 votedMarch 13, 20170My today's practice with the phrasal verbs "rule out" and "tip over".
Pleake, help me to know if I am using them correctly.
Rule out = Eliminate, reject
-The sales man showed John three models of cars, and he ruled out two for their high price.
-The company ruled out the job candidates who didn't know how to speak a second language
-I have a friend who was ruled out from the army for bad health.
Tip over = overturn
-The waitress tipped over the dishes when she was walking through the aisle.
-My nephew tipped the milk over the table
-The bottles tipped over from the shelf during the earthquake
Thanks in advance.

No, I haven't yet but I would like to have children someday. I would have liked to be a mother young. Although I am still young, I am 28 years old. But I always wanted to have my first baby by 28 so now it's late. (I should have married three years ago.)
I would like to have two kids, specifically two girls but I don't know when yet. For the last 2 years I was taking care of kids, 9 year old twins, a 5 year old girl and a 3 year old boy, and I think I am done, at least for now.
Sometimes when the kids I am taking care of are very cranky, I can't stand them (I am with them 10 hours everyday) and I think, will it be the same when I have my own children? I hope not.;)

In Iraq there are lots of palm trees. Iraq is known for its oil industry. Visitors to Iraq can see the holy cities, and the National Museum of Iraq.
Mostly good, be careful with tenses.
