    I'll go through sentence by sentence and point out your mistakes and how to correct them


    "I had a plate of pieces of cutting of Mango at some store in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

    The English word for cut pieces is "slice", mango should not be capitalized and replace "some" with "a". Corrected sentence: "I had a plate of sliced mango at a store in Kaohsiung, Taiwan."

    "I forgot where it was located."

    The sentence is past tense so "forgot" should be "forget" but the store still probably exists in the present so "was" should be "is". Corrected sentence: "I forget where it is located."

    "The store served a variety of cutting of fruits and a variety of flavors of shaved ice."

    Once again we must use the word "slice". Also, sing "variety" twice is redundant. Corrected sentence: "The store served a variety of sliced fruits and flavors of shaved ice."

    "Surely, I had one for $4 and sat down on the outside of a table."

    The word "Surely" doesn't really make sense here. You have stated that the store sells both fruit and shaved ice and therefore you need to clarify what you bought instead of saying "one". In English, a person doesn't sit "on the outside" of a table, we simply sit "at" a table. Corrected sentence: "I had a mango for $4 and sat down at the table."

    "A woman cut for easy to eat for me."

    Once again you must use the word "slice". Corrected sentence: "A woman sliced it to make it easier for me to eat."
    "I’ve never had these cutting of the fruits at the store in Japan."

    Corrected sentence: "I've never had sliced fruit at a store in Japan."

    "It was so impressive and fresh."

    This is a good sentence.

    "My best favorite fruits is Mango."

    "Favorite" and "best" are redundant. "Fruits" should be singular. Don't capitalize mango. Corrected sentence: "My favorite fruit is a mango."

    "I like Mango snacks and Mango flavors of foods as well."

    This sentence is good just don't capitalize mango. Corrected sentence: "I like mango snacks and mango flavors of foods as well."

    "Do you like mangoes? How often do you eat them?"

    "They are far more news sites on the Web than daily newspaper published around the world."

    This is from a quiz without saying much. There's just four choices:
    A. They
    B. far more
    C. newspaper
    D. published


    There are two things wrong with the sentence. "daily newspaper" should be "daily newspapers" since it is plural. Also at the beginning of the sentence "They" doesn't make any sense. It should be "There". If you can put more than one answer put A and C but if you can only put one answer then A is a better choice.

    It can be difficult to say what a particular sentence means when taken out of context so I'll do the best I can. "Injected" means to force into something. "heated wars" means arguments So Khan's success has forced him into the arguments over school reform.

    You are correct in believing that Jon did not actually laugh. The meaning of "Jon might have laughed" is to indicate just how wrong Thome is. If they author had left that part out we would still know that Thome is wrong. But adding that it was so wrong that it was laughable shows that Thome was very very wrong. Essentially the author is just adding emphasis on how wrong Thome was. It's the same with the other two examples, the author is just adding extreme emphasis.

    Today' evening Last night , I met with my old friend Mr Xu in Guangzhou. Mr Xu was my classmate in high school, he was my deskmate. We had some of the same hobby hobbies and communicate regularly. 

    We haven't hadn't met each other for 10 years, and I was very happy to meet him. We had dinner together and talked in detail about each other's career and life now. We have changed so much compared with 10 years ago. He lives in our hometown and have has two little children now. The furniture stores he created are very successful. I am very happy to hear that.
    After dinner, we were walking walked around the square, and taking took a boat on the river to watch the beautiful night view.

    They are two very different words with different meanings. Embark means to start a long journey. "I embarked on my mission to visit every country in Europe." Engage means to become involved with something. Its meaning varies though depending on how it's used: "Engage the enemy" is a common phrase meaning attack the enemy. "To be engaged to a person" means you are set to be married. "Engage in conversation" means to talk to someone.

    The word "during" implies that you are referring to a period of time so it is okay to say "During the Chinese Spring festival, families get together." The word "on" doesn't necessarily refer to a period of time so we must add information to make that clear. This is a correct example: "On the day of the Chinese Spring festival, families get together." Adding "the day" after "on" makes it clear that you are referring to the period of time.

    Native English speakers don't use hyphens at all and most wouldn't be able to identify when they should or shouldn't use hyphens. This is probably because hyphens don't change the meaning of a sentence so they are simply not used.

    1. The ones without the "IT" are correct. 2. In terms of the meaning of the sentence there is no difference. "There sure is going to be" is more grammatical correct and sounds better though.
