My thoughs

Could you correct my mistakes please?

Thank you!

About surrounding (yourself with the right people)

It' s very important to be surrounded by positive and ambitious people as much as not being surrounded by those who inhibit you from maintaining your productive/good mood. Sometimes you even don't pay attention to how a pessimistic outlook and claims(perhaps you meant "complaints"?) of every day life can influence you badly.
Everyone had(has? no sure about the use of past tense here) friends who like claiming(complaints) or making negative comments about the outside reality(maybe the terms "the big picture" or "the outside world" would fit better). These people don't want to change themselves. They like to claim(complain) because it goes better for them(because it makes them feel empowered). They become empty of their mud(They dump/relieve their stress) and feel happy and fresh(maybe "refreshed"?). But you feel upset and confused. After that connection(After that kind of experience/encounter) you need to be recharged.
But when you communicate with the right people you feel inspired and full of power. It moves you to act, to create, to learn smth new.
That's why it is so important to be with the right people.

I've tried to correct your entry so it sounds more natural and added a few missing articles and prepositions.
I hope this helps you and that you learn some new expressions from my correction :D

Informal letter

Dear Emma.

How are you doing this September? I have terrific news for you! I`m moving to the USA and  we will see each other at last!

As you you know I'm a big fan of post modern literature and I even tried to write my own stories some of which you read. Despite your positive feedback I always thought that my style lacked colours, complexity and structure. So I saved some money and I'm moving to Los-Angeles to get into L.A University of Theatre and drama. It takes only 2 years to get the degree I need!



The main problem is the lack of money. I will certainly be able to find a job at campus, but they only allow you to work 2 days a week and pay only 12 dollars per hour! Unlike you, I don't know the Los-Angeles job market very well. So I am asking you for help and advice as you have changed several jobs a year! Can you you recommnd me a good website where I can submit my resume? I also would be very pleased(appreciate it) if you  recommended me to some of your previous employers! Any job will do!

I hope I'm not asking too much. I look forward to seeing you!

All the best,

Mike

First time seeing this

It's the first time I've heard about an animal called the bushbaby. To some extent, it looks like a koala but when we concentrate on its features it really looks like a baby.
I am wondering whether it's behaviour is also related with babies' innocence.
How did I know/learn about it?
I read its name in a comment of Italki members talking about their favourite animal.

Correct me please

Futur video on Christmas day.

Hello language exchange friends,
I am Laurianne and I want to tell you about my Christmas day so here it is....
I had my Christmas Eve meal at home.
My father, my sister, her husband and her children came too.
I had prepared the meal all by myself.
We had a good evening together, we ate and we drank well. 
My sister's children were impatient to get their gifts.
I will show you my wooden Christmas tree along with my owls, hedgehog and wooden squirell.
I love it!
There were some gifts left because my nephew and my nieces went off and didn't come back.
Never leave children without surveillance(unsupervised) because they will otherwise do that(run off?).
This was my Chrismas day my friends.
I hope your Chrismas day was  good as well...
Bye, bye

私の最初日本語の試験

こんにちは！
すぐに、私の最初の日本語の試験を取ります。私は少しナーバスから、私の先生がそれをなんでも言っていませんでした。あなたが何かアドバイス持っているのですか？どんなテストになるか知らないで、私の読書能力が下手です。ところで、わたしはマニトバ、カナダの出身です。

It usually means that people of the same kind, personality or interests will be found in groups of like minded people :)

I replay message to new friend.

Welcome to Taiwan.

Actually I live in Taipei so I'm not familiar with Kaoshiong so I probably can’t provide you with the correct information .

I remembered that Kaoshiong has convenient transportation, yummy food at the night market and also has nice weather.

Hop you have a nice trip.
