    hehe~~~~~ the best answer isn't the answer you wanted here, right?! To make your question clear enough for any translation, 牛肉面was just be so nice to give some necessary explanation the cultrual background about in what cases you English native speakers use "Heaven forbid, So, I thought that, as the questioner, Beth, how about reelecting anita's as the best solution?

    Sorry, I ignored 2 more mistakes in your writing last night. Here we go.

     

    You can message me<em> if</em> you're from <em>the</em> country <em>that</em> language  I'm not able to pick up your language...as long as you know some English.

     

    <em>It should be corrected in the following way.</em>

    <em>As long as you know some English, do</em> message me <em>even if</em> you're from <em>a</em> country,  <em>the</em> <em>language of which</em> I'm not able to pick up.

    IJust want to say... :D

    Hi everyone!
    This is my second entry, I just gonna write about my purpose to using iTalki.
    It's that I just want to make friends around the world. You can message me <em>even</em> you're from the country that I'm not able <em>to learn</em> your language...if you know some English. It's no problem ^^
    moreover we can share our knowledge and things. although I'm not serious<em>ly</em> to learn the language but<em> we can just talk.... it good enough ^____^ </em>
    I like to talk with foreign friends and make new friends. feel free to follow me then I will follow you back. 
      

    My suggested version:

    Hi everyone!
    This is my second entry, I just gonna <em>talk something</em> <em>about</em> my purpose<em> of using </em>iTalki. 
    <em>That is </em>to make friends around the world. You can message me even if you're from the country that I'm not able <em>to pick up</em> your language...<em>as long as </em>you know some English. It's no problem ^^
    Moreover we can share our knowledge and things. although <em>I'm not serious in </em>learning the language,<em> I found it really interesting and great to chat with someone as language partners on such a maverlous forum.</em>

    <em> Just talk to me! </em>I <em>like talking with</em> foreign friends and make new friends. Feel free to follow me<em>, and</em> I will follow you <em>in return for your being friendly</em>. 

    <em>Notes: </em>

    <em>1. We never use though and  although together with </em><em>and</em><em> or </em><em>but</em>

    <em>2. talk something about sounds much more oral, while write about sounds too formal</em>

    <em>3. we either say "be serious in/about sth" or say"be serious in doing..."</em>

    <em>4. here by inserting "Just talk to me! " , we could add up the coherence of the whole context</em>

    <em>......</em>

    <em></em>

    English Learning without the familiarity with grammatical rules? In China, in NMET there is a stationary pattern which test examinees on the applying of grammatical rules. All the examinees are required to complete a passage by filling in blank according to grammatical structures or sentence structure. So here I'd like to consult about the importance of grammatical ruls learning . Say, what do you think of the learning of grammar? Will it be possible to go ahead with English learning with the familiarity with it?

    Jura, Thanks. Sorry, it might be something wrong with the way i raise the question that confused you. Your suggested correction was one of my possible versions. What I'm thinking about is whether I can link these sentences up in the following way: The first time I heard the song "You're beautiful", I was absoulately touched, which narrates a romantic story. Here the story goes. A boy fell in love with a girl at the first sight during their chance encounter on a subway...

    What do we say"故事情节是这么发展的"in English? Is it ok to say "Here goes the story." What's the way we translate"故事是这么说的/故事是这样发展的" in English? I just keep wondering early this morning while i was checking my students essay, in which they are required to share their impression of the song that touched them most. One of the boy students tried to explain the plot, a romantic love story conveyed by singer JamesBlunt. I abstracted his point here-----The first time I heard the song "You're beautiful", I was absoulately touched, which narrates a romantic story. A boy fell in love with a girl at the first sight during their chance encounter on a subway. Knowing that the charming girl had already been someone else's girlfriend, the boy... After checking his writing, I think that betwen "...,which narrates a romantic story.'and "A boy fell in love...", there is a lack of a necessary phrase to link up these two sentences, in other words, there's a lack of coherence. Herein, I come up with my confusion mentioned above.

    We Chinese people use this phrase in all the cases where you use"oh, gee!","Oh, my God', "oops" etc. say, "我的妈呀!!!这么大一笔钱啊!!!!,which means"Gee, We're going to make a big sum of money" and expresses an unbelievable feeling." for more instance, "我的妈呀,你怎么那么毛毛躁躁!咖啡都泼到我的白裙子上了!!, meaning "Oops! how careless you are! You have spoilt your cup of coffee onto my new white shirt" Have you got it now? I hope it my explanation could be of little help to you ^—^
