How to improve my English?
I'm an English major,and I am going to be a techer when I graduate from college, but I think I'm not professional enough to be an English teacher, I feel so ashamed about it. So I always try to find someone who can practice it with me. But I just found out how hard it could be.It's hard to find a partner who can speak English with me everyday or regularly,and the lack of vacabulary is one of the problems that obstruct the conversation.And in addition, it's so awkward that I can't figure out what to talk about when the camera is on.Oh, I feel so helpless.How to improve my English
I am an English major, and I am going to be a teacher when I graduate from college, but I think that I am not professional enough. I feel so ashamed about my poor grammar, spelling, and punctuation, so I always try to find someone who can practice those with me. I just found out how hard it can be to find a good partner who can speak English with me on a regular basis. My lack of vocabulary is one of the main problems that obstructs conversations and it is so awkward that I can't figure out what to talk about when the camera is on! Oh, I feel so helpless.
I think your communication skills are pretty good, but you do put a few too many extras into your sentences. English is easy to learn but difficult to perfect. It takes time and patience. I will be teaching as soon as my introductory video is approved. Come see me when you feel like working on those vocabulary difficulties!

There a lot of great places for ideal trip. I think I will choose Iceland. I think it is a really amazing country with many very beautiful views. I will spend all my trip on excursions to different places. I know that there are a lot of waterfalls, lakes, glaciers and mountains. Also a lot of folk museums. (Disjointed thought consider connecting these sentences) And sure very special island dishes. I think it is an ideal place to both relax and get energy from nature. It is difficult to compare the Island with other places because it is not similar to other places. I havent been in (on)such a trip. The main reason is that Island is a very expensive country even if you choose a not so expensive hotel.My Ideal Trip
There are a lot of great places to go that would be an Ideal trip. I think that I will choose Iceland! I think that it is a really amazing country with many very beautiful views and scenes. I will spend most of my trip going on excursions to different places. I know that there are a lot of waterfalls, lakes, glaciers and mountains there, as well as a lot of folk museums, not to mention many delicious island dishes! I think it is an ideal place to both relax and get energy from nature. It is difficult to compare the island with other places, because it is not very similar to other places. I haven't been on such a trip before! The main reason is that island is a very expensive country to visit, even if you don't choose to stay at an expensive hotel!
I put the words I needed to add in green highlights, hope this helps! Try to join up your shorter sentences with connective words and conjunctions. Don't be afraid to use proper names of places like Iceland instead of referring to it in the colloquial as an Island. That sometimes might offend the people from that place by making their land seem diminished or small. Just food for thought!

We need to postpone our meeting because some participants left in vacation. As long as I am the manager here I'm the one who decides. And so far I have supported each of you. If I were you, I would have been happy to have myself as a manager. Now you would better get to work because we are off the agenda!Off the agenda? (I think you might be meaning to say schedule)
As a result of some of the participants having gone on vacation, we need to postpone our meeting today. As I am the current manager, I am also the one who decides (subject missing...the one who decides what?), and so far I have supported each of you. (The next part comes across as a bit angry and pompous...so I would say it this way instead) I am happy that you all recognise my leadership qualities and if you were in my place, you might understand why it is so important that we get back to work and back on schedule.
Due to the nuances of different words meaning very specific things when being inserted into sentences, this can lead to overall confusion of the paragraph and even change the "tone" of the conversation to a more aggressive one, even when the "implied thought process" is meant to be more informative than disciplinary. Always make sure your sentences have a subject. Don't assume that the reader or listener will carry the subject over from the previous thought process. Also, in writing and in speaking, you will always get your point across with a tendency towards politeness and niceties! Hope this helps you!

shenyang is a city which located in northeast China. Most of people work in state owned company or factory.
The people looks much happy and less pressure compared to Beijing and Shanghai. The economic is not so good these years. And it is not so easy to find a job.

it is also the home of emperor Nuerhachi .
The people is the bese scene of the city. it is better to visit there in winter. The snow is beautiful. And there are lots of spring club for your enjobying.Shenyang- a northeast city of China
The city of Shenyang, is a city which is located in the northeastern part of China. Most people in that city, work in state owned company or factories. The people of Shenyang seem much happier and less pressured when compared with those of either Beijing or Shanghai. The economic outlook is not as good these years, and it is not very easy to find a job. Though it is the capital city of the province of Liaoning, the food is much cheaper, the traffic is less and real estate costs are lower than the other big cities. Shenyang is also the home of Emperor Nuerhachi. The people are the best feature of this city, and because of the beautiful snow and hotsprings clubs, most people find it pleasent to visit in the winter.
Your paragraph can stay intact without starting new lines, since the "subject" of Shenyang the city never changes topic. If for instance you started speaking about the Emperor more, you could write this as a separate paragraph, but since he is mentioned as a "feature" of the city, the subject stays the same. Typically in English if we use a title such as Emperor or President, the first letter of the "title" is capitalized. I assumed in my revision that you meant hotsprings when you used the words (spring club). Very interesting city, I would love to visit it someday!

Last sunday I watched "Dunkirk", and honestly I think that this movie should win the oscar, even that the year isn't finished. It is so tense, Nolan made my heart beat so strong that I almost had a heart attack. Hans Zimmer and non linearity are in this movie, and it totally makes the difference, once it is the major factor to make the movie so tense. I watched another Nolan's movie, like "Inception", "Interestelar" and the Batman's trilogy, but Dunkirk is better than all those movies.Last Sunday I watched the movie "Dunkirk", and I honestly think that this movie should win an Oscar; even though the year isn't finished. It is such an intense movie, and Nolan made my heart beat so strongly, that I almost had a heart attack. Hans Zimmer was in this movie, and it had a non linear quality that made it so intense! I have watched a few other of Nolan's movies, such as "Inception", "Interstellar", and "The Batman Trilogy"; but Dunkirk is better than all of those movies.
You had a few irregular words in your paragraph, but overall it wasn't too bad. Keep working at it!
