I have been to Brazil 3 times and going back this October. The only time I felt comfortable with the language was at the end of my first visit for 6 months. Writing helps me learn but I am very shy about speaking! I don't know what the levels mean - I'm probably elementary/intermediate level.

    Argh~ English!

    I've been learning English for years, but it still seems difficult to me to communicate in English. I encountered this site by chance<strike>,</strike>  and I like it very much. Hope I can contribute as much as I can learn from here:)

    Feel free to check my grammatical errors! Thanks~

    Excellent!

    "Welcome to my office" is probably the phrase you're looking for. You would say it when someone enters. "You are very welcome to my office" could mean the same thing but implies that the person is welcome to use your office any time. It would be inappropriate to use the past tense (welcomed) in these cases. You might later say, "I welcomed John to my office today and he didn't respond." Or something like that. Hope it helps.

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself

    My name is Steve, I<strike>'m</strike> live<strike>d</strike> in Xiamen, China. I'm forty. I have a son and Iove him very much.
    In my work I frequently <strike>usually </strike>use <strike>in</strike> English, but r<strike> I</strike>eally [OR then I] forget everything that I learned, so <strike>had leart</strike><strike>,So </strike>I must relearn it.

    Welcome to italki.
    A few problems but not bad. 
    The problem that almost every Chinese member has is the punctuation and spacing. There is always a space after a period (.), comma (,), question mark (?), exclamation point (!), etc. The next sentence (but not the next phrase - as in after a comma) always starts with a capital letter. You would do well to attach a note to your computer to remind yourself of that so that it becomes easy to do.

    "Brazil was an exploitation colony"

    I guess that works but I think "an exploited colony" would work better.

    The only thing wrong with the second one is the addition of the word "to". Either one is fine. I agree that "shouldn't" would be more comfortable in the first case but is not necessary. (Just as in that sentence: I could have written isn't but, for me, spelling it out give it more emphasis.) We shouldn't eat so much pizza. We also shouldn't eat so much cake. We shouldn't eat so much pizza. We also should not eat so much cake. We shouldn't eat so much pizza. We should also not eat so much cake.
