hehe,
English may be like a pretty girl,though myself may be very ugly ,so has no qulifications to love her.
Secondly,it is very funny to translate "Chinese sentence" directly into English.After all, Chinese culture is a shock to Enlish culture |

| | re: 8> Could you find and correct any mistakes in the paragraph(life in university) Let's try one more time.
What do you mean by "Tigher hill in my university is very common"? Quote: |
but I felt it was lovely ,so I went up to recite English like a celestial being or a hermit many times ,and slowly I forgot the uproar

Please space after commas, not before. And don't forget periods (full stops).

That is a rather odd sentence, but at the same time it is rather poetic.
