نقل قول:first I again wanna thank you for my writing:11:l
about yr writing, first of all, as far as I know, for essay writings, it's better to talk generally, cuz in essay writings, you're gonno catch others' fancy n by just using 'I' n expressing yr own ideas you may not be successful in attracting others. that's what I know about essay writings:20:l
:10:n about yr writing, I'm not good enough either, but I try to tell you as much as I know
If I were you, I would write; 'most of the people moan about the difficulties in learning a new language'l
Here who refers to a person and I think you had to write 'and for me who is studying/studies by himself/(on his own)l I'm not sure about this, I just think, I'm waiting for others to correct me if I'm wrong:46:.l
:46:here, quickly is not wrong but maybe the word 'soon' can be a better choice

There are so many nice customs in my country, but I really love one them called "Yalda night". Yalda night is the longest night of the year which is at autumn season. The people celebrate this night by visiting each other and staying awake all or part of night. They usually prepare themselves for this night by buying fruits, nuts, cookies and so on. At this night, people talk about nonbusiness things, older people like grandfathers or grandmothers talk about their memories, share their experiences with youths; younger people talk about their future plans, daily affairs etc. Overall, I remember so many good memories from this special night, in addition, this night gives me an opportunity to visit some of my relatives that maybe during the year I have less chances to visit them.
What is your favorite way of getting around? Describe it and explain why it is your favorite means of transportation
I would like to travel by train, because it has some advantages over other means of transportation like airplane or car and so on. First, I think it’s the safest way of transferring at least in my country, everyday you hear so much bad news about car accidents, and also airplanes are old in Iran and every time there is an imminent danger that one of these planes crashes. Second, I think traveling by the train is fairly cheep in contrast to plane and its travel cost is comparable to travel by car. Third, the most important thing about train is its convenience, you can rest, study while you are traveling. Finally, advanced trains are fast and quiet and environment friendly.
نقل قول:one them--> one of them
I think for the seasons we use 'in' not 'at'l
about 'the people', I think 'the' should be omidtted
here 'the' should be added before 'night'---> part of the night ( cuz we are talking about a specific night
which we've mentioned before)l
I've never heard 'at this night' ; I think it's better to say 'during this night' or 'on this night'l
نقل قول:by train; 'the' should be omitted
I think it would be better to write, 'and it has/they have friendly enviroment' or ' the enviroment is friendly there'l
Thanks a lot for correcting me, but:11:

نقل قول:really?! why?!...but I've never heard

نقل قول:Bahram, the very first day when I read yr writing, this sentence didn't seem correct to me n I searched about it n what I found was that we can use 'much' for 'news' but it is more common in negative form n it's better to write 'so many pieces of bad news'l
but in negative form, it's okay to say: there isn't much news to ...l
by the way, I'm not still sure but what I found was that:11:l
so many pieces of bad news" do not u think it's a little
too long and boring:31:, I do not think they really use these expressions, but if u search on the internet will realize it's very common to use so much negatively:

نقل قول:yeah, I myself had found the page, n I also said that I'm not sure
n I searched on the net n I asked s.o n according to what I found I said it
so much bad news is definitely correct n I just said that it may not be very common but as you say n as you've found it is probably common
anyway, sorry for that:11:n take care
by the way 'a peice of news' is alos common...:31:l
