My dearest Ran,
You are often dissatisfied with your English, and to make matter worse, your confidence on English seems had been destroyed by the countless annoying English tests. And it seems that you almost already had given up your English study: You do not study new words everyday. How long has it been since you reading in English?You are not happy with your English progess and to make matters worse, your confidence in English has been destroyed by taking countless English tests. Now, it seems that you have given up on your English study as you no longer study new words everyday. How long has it been since you read something in English?
What a pity, if you ask me.
You're wasting the gift that you're given at your birth, Ran my dear. How do I know that for sure? Hmm, I don't, I just believe. I believe that from deep inside my heart.
This is a pity. You're wasting the gift given you at birht, Ran, my dear. How do I know this for sure? Hmm, I don't but I just have this gut feeling that this is true.
I think you also can feel that you have talent in language, right?
I mean, you're so sensitive with language. When you hear the voice from some native speakers, you always alomst have an irresistable desire to imitate it and to repeat it, again and again.
You found that your can pronounce it well without much efforts. This unconscious impulses that you're not able to escape, I think, that's your gift.:)I think you know yourself that you have a talent to learn languages, right? You ability is quite obvious. When you hear a foreigner speak, you almost always have a desire to imitate them, again and again. You discovered that you can imitate their accents without too much effort. This is a natural, innate ability.
My dearest Ran, it's quite normal to feel depressed or frustrated when you trying to learn a new knowledge. You're a girl with an inquiring mind and a pure heart, I cherish you more than anything else in the entire world. As your English study, I also want to say, the choice is all yours, but I think you won't be a quitter,right? :D So what you're going to do is to make a new study plan and to execute it as it says.~~~~My dearest Ran, it's quite normal to feel depressed or frustrated when trying to learn a new language. You're a girl with an inquiring mind and pure heart and I cherish you more than anything else in the world. As for your English study, the choice is all yours and I encourage you, "Don't quit!" So what you should do it to make a new study plan and to execute it.
Just bear one more thing in mind, don't hurry, be patient, my dear Ran, you can't grasp everything in a short time. I saw a sentence last night, and I thought the author wrote it just for you!One more thing. Be patient and and don't expect miracles in a short time. I saw something last night and I thought the author wrote it just for you.
" Live, then, and be? Happy, beloved children of my heart, and never forget, that until the day when God will deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is contained in these two words——"wait" and "hope".
love always and forever,
Yours, Ran
P.S Have been long time writing to you in Chinese,it's my very first time to write to you in English, and it feels not bad:D

Therefore, my response is to provide for you, completely free of charge, this little note. While like previous persons, I recommend to you that you spend a couple of hours writing something yourself, I cannot but stop myself from wondering what exactly is the reason or logic for your request. Right now I am curious about your request but could not help myself from offering this little note. Here's some of them in an article!0 votedMay 7, 20110

Dear Amy,
It is so surprise and happy to know that you are married the other day, I got the good news from Xi'an Evening Paper. Your husband looks handsome in the photo and the wedding seems very ceremonious. From the photo,you look so beautiful that I even think you were a fairy.
It is more surprise and happier that you will be my neighbour. Yeah! I also live in that building. I am in Xi'an city. too! Do you feel surprise? I will tell you what happened in the past years when you live in this building.
I am looking forward to talking with you.
Love
Ally
=====================
Your English is perfectly understandable and there is nothing wrong with how you communicate. The following is closer to how a native English speaker would write.
Dear Amy,
Congratulations! The Xi'An Evening Paper announced your wedding the other day. I was surpised and so very happy for you. The pictures are fabulous - your husband looks like a prince and you look like a princess.
I'm even more surprised and happier that we will be neighbours in the same building. When you move in, I'm looking forward to having time for us to share our adventures of the past few years.
Love,
Ally0 votedApril 30, 20101A Sticky Business
There was a small village with a small church.And the church clock stroke hours day and night. One evening, the clock stopped striking suddently. some villagers climbed into the clock tower to see it, but no one could explain why, because the clock seemed fine.
The vicar climbed into the tower as well. He went thought the clock carefully, suddently, he found that the clock invaded by bees, the gears were filled with full of honey and wax.
A bee keeper was called, he removed the queen bee, and the other bees followed them. Then, villagers clapped with cheers, the clock was cleaned, It was working again at last.
=====================================================
This is more than a simple correction. It is more like how an English writer would approach the topic.
In the village was a small church whose clock rang at all hours of the day and night. However, one day the clock suddenly stopped ringing. The villagers climbed up the clock tower to investigate but after examination, all were puzzled because the clock seemed perfectly normal.
This prompted the vicar to climb the tower. He examined the clock carefully and then discovered to his great horror that the clock had been invaded by bees and the gears were full of honey and bees.
A beekeeper was called. He removed the queen bee, then all the other bees followed. THe villagers clapped and cheered. THe clock was cleaned and once again, rang clearly throughout the village.0 votedApril 23, 20102
