Hi, Claire again.
Well, i dont know how to deal with the situation.
Really feel sorry for bringing an arguement.
Im appreciated for everyone who gave comments here.
Indeed, I felt a little bit sad in the beginning cuz i didnt find the grammar
errors I made until I just came here to see my article again.
"What a suck grammar i used!" comes up to my mind.
Sorry.. i think I was really tired at that day so that I didnt know what a
stupid grammar I used. The really poor grammar makes me belly laugh
Besides, I wanna say again that I thank who welcame me and who tried to
correct my English. I wont say Im good cuz i stayed in America for a
while. Continue learning and impoving English will be the thing for my all life.
If I make any mistake for my grammar or something, plz dont hesitate to
correct me, but no more arguement please.
Feel so sorry for that >"<
Be peaceful.
