Introducing myself

Hi, I'm Sakunika. I am from Sri Lanka. I'd like to speak English well. But I'm not good at it. I know basic grammar of English & I hope it is enough to speak. But when I'm going to talk to someone I fail to translate what i have in my mind into English quickly. So I lose my confidence at that time & I fail to talk at all. So I think there will be someone to advise me what to do. Please help me & I hope you will correct me if I have errors here.

Pretty good writing! Only a couple mistakes. As for the speaking, try not to think about translating so much. Speaking another language is not about translating word from word into another. You have to just learn how things are said. Just continue to read a lot and listen to a variety of English language media. And practice your writing and speaking, preferably with someone who is quite good at English or a native speaker, and also is good at teaching/explaining things.

The Games at our School

Today our school held a sports event. My roommates and I went to the track. One of my classmates, whose name is Yugang, participated in the 1500-meter race. So we went to the track and cheered him on, because we believe that a person will succeed with encouragement from his friends. In the end, he did not get first place but he is still the best in our hearts and minds. We know that he has worked hard for this game. He is the hero of our class. We learned from him that we should never give up in life.

Nice journal writing!
Just a note, you should make sure you put a space after each comma and after each period at the end of a sentence. And be careful of spelling. I know it is easy to make typos (mistakes) when typing :)

1. Sports meeting - to me, this sounds like a time when people come together to meet and talk about sports. A time when people play sports together can be called a sports event.
2. Yugang - names of people are capitalized in English. it is because they are a "proper noun"
3. Attended - in this situation, attended means the people who came to watch the sports event. The people playing in the sports event would "participate in" the event.
4. Meters - For this situation, say meter not meters, even though it is more than 1 meter.
5. Gave applause to him: Sounds a little awkward. You could say "applauded him" but even more appropriate for a sporting event, is "cheered him on"
6. Be succeed under the encouragement - does not make sense. Succed with encouragement sounds much more natural
7. Suffered - this could be ok, but if you mean he trained hard and chose to work hard to do this race, then suffer isn't the best choice of words. To suffer means to experience pain, usually because of something outside of your control, or something you didn't choose. We assume in this instance that no one was forcing Yugang to do the race, and that he wanted to do the race. So "worked hard" would be better.
8. This games - it should be "this game" since you are talking about the single race that Yugang ran in. If you were talking about more than one thing, it would be "these games".

Good job in writing. Don't give up in your writing either ^^
