re:I must have made mistakes...
Everyone makes mistakes. The important thing is to find out what they are and correct them.
If no one points out what your mistakes are, you will not know what the right way is.
I am NOT related to the people who run this place. I am just a passer by. I have my own English Corner to attend to . ( http://rainlane.com ). But since I happen to be here, I would like to point out what those mistakes are. Please excuse my impertience for taking this step solicitated.
find oral parter--> avoid using the term "oral partner", it has unpleasent implications. A double entendre, one may say. It is also more idiomatic to say "looking for" -->(I am) Looking for a partner to practice spoken English.
hello,everyone ! i 'm a learner now , --> The present tense "am" has the meaning of now. Chinese has a tendency to use the word "now" when it is either unnecessary or redundent. --> Hello, everyone. I am a new learner.
so i must have mang mistakes in this message ! -> I must have made mistakes in this message.
i want to take part in the exam of lielts , so oral is very important . --> Since I want to take the Ielts exam, oral/spoken English is of importance. (The intensifier "very" is unnecessary. If you insist on using one , try "...of paramount importance.")
i want to find some friends to help me ! --> the use of the word "friend" is culturally link. In the west, one would not automatically call anyone a "friend" until friendship has been establish. Since we are dealing with your looking for people in China as a speaking partner, I will leave the word "friend" unchanged.
--> I want to look for friends to help me !
the number of my QQ is :254728948 ,
if you have the same idea with me ,--> "same idea with me" is a typical "Chinglish error". I have come across this same error many times before.
--> If you have the same idea as I. (What this means is "If you have the same idea as I have.)
please give me message ! --> Please leave me a message.
