G'day zhengrong,
This will only be a problem for you when you converse with other English learners or if you bump into pedantic English speakers who intentionally try to be difficult about the placement of a comma or other nonsense.
You have identified one of the great strengths of English. There are so many words to choose from the approximately 500,000 words in the general English lexicon and the additional 500,000 specialist words that you will always be able to find a word that means approximately what you mean and then the all important context comes into play.
English is not so much word driven as context ruled.
Just about every English word extant is modifiable by context so if you are confused about a word just read the whole sentence or paragraph and the context will almost always reveal what you want to know.
Good luck with your learning,
