    Could you please check my writing?

    I learned studied English hard last October.
    Shortly afterwards, I breaked took a break from learning English for about two months for the due to lack of time.
    Only yesterday did I start it again. I started again yesterday.
    Apparently I forgot a little English, but I think I can improve it little by little.
    I will focus the Vocabulary of English on English vocabulary this year, because I learned the grammar last year.
    I think I will be able to learn the grammar once again with new vocabulary.

    Could you please check my writing? Thank you.

    To answer your second question, you can say "I am heading home" or "I am on my way home" as an alternative to "leave".

    "I'll be right there" is different from your other example sentences. When you say "right there", it means that it will be happening quickly. If you are planning to meet a friend, and they are running late, they might say "I'll be right there" when they are quite close. "I'll be there later" implies that there will be a much longer time. "Later" tells us that it won't be so quick. If you are at a party and a friend says "I will be there later", it could be an hour or more. There isn't so much of a rush. "Right there" means the person will be there soon. "Later" means the person will come, but it might not be so soon.

    It means "ringed". Sometimes in poems, songs, and older English, you might see -ed forms of the verb shortened to -'d. It's not very common, but it is a good thing to be aware of. This is often used in poetry in order to get a word to fit with the rhyme or meter. You might even see poets or songwriters who want a two-syllable word to fit in one syllable. For example, many older hymns might change the word "heaven" to "heav'n" in order for it to fit as one syllable. Again, it's not so common, but it is a good thing to know!

    My favorite season

    My favorite season is spring, because when spring comes, it gets warmer. My town has snow during the winter. It is very cold and hard to drive. I don't like being cold.
    And m My work's the most busy season is winter, so  I'm glad to get spring, because my work become calms down.
    I travel to Thailand (Phuket) every spring with my husband. We are looking  look forward to this every year 's travel. We work hard for a year for this travel. While staying in Phuket, we are always daydreaming at the hotel. We plan to tavel to Thailand next spring.
    In Japan, companies and schools begin from in the spring. New employees join our office, and I feel fresh.
    For that reasons, I like spring the most.

    This is great! It's a good perspective. I live in Thailand, and I miss the autumn and winter! I wish I could see snow again!

    Hi Helen, It might be best to combine two sentences into one. You could say something like: "Many animals are endangered. For one thing, we destroy their habitat, and for another, we poach them." However, in this case, I might recommend rewriting it to use the passive voice, since you want to emphasize the object of the sentence (the animals). "Many animals are endangered. For one thing, their habitats are destroyed, and for another, they are poached." This puts the emphasis on the object (the animals) rather than the subject (us), since the animals are the focus of your sentence.

    Hi Julie, "Have" and "have got" can be used in the same way. There is really no difference between the two. I've noticed that American textbooks seem to favor "have", while British textbooks seem to favor "have got", but either one is perfectly acceptable. You can only use "had" in the past tense, however. You cannot say "had got" when referring to the past. "I had a dog", NOT "I had got a dog".

    "To stub your toe" is when you are walking, and you accidentally hit your toe on something. It's really painful!

    Hi Sinem, Both are fine! I've also heard people say "my eardrums are going to burst". All of these are acceptable.
