Please, checks this paragraph
"Hello, to all
I'm a new member. My english is not so good, but I try to improve it. English is not my native language and I don't have chance to use it in my job or in my daily life. So I don't have self-confidence and alway worry what I say or write correctly. I think writting can help me improve my english skill. I will written some story in english and count on someone in here recomment me."
Thank you

Re: please check my paragraph
Thank you tdol for your commenting.
I am very happy that you understood my writing.
However, I have some question.
why should I use "oppotunity" instead of " chance" ?
I think each other are same meaning.
And again, I would like you comment my this writing.
Thank you.

Sometimes when words have a similar meaning, we tend to choose one in certain contexts, or together with certain words. This is done through habit rather than logic, and is known as collocation. I simply suggested 'opportunity' because it fitted the sense better. 'Chance' is more used when luck is involved.

Re: please check my paragraph
"Chance" usually implies that there is some risk involved.
"Opportunity" implies that there is a platform open for you to express your views, for good or for bad, but you'll not face any consequences as a result.

Thank you tdol and Ouisch.
Both of your explanations make me very clear.
Exactly, I can speak " everyone has a chance to invest in stock market."
Is this correct ?

Re: please check my paragraph
It should be 'the stock market' or use the plural if they are investing internationally across markets.
