Hello,
it would be very friendly if someone corrected my text ;3!
Thanks~

Hello Peter!
While I was surfing the internet, I accidentaly found your website. There are some interesting informations.
I think that skydiving must be fantastic. It’s like flying, isn’t it?
Would you mind to answer some questions?
First of all, I would like to know if everyone can go skydiving. What are the skills I need to go skydiving?
And additionally it’d be interesting to how long you have been doing this activity.

By the way, I also really enjoy biking even if it’s not a mountain bike.
I don’t do as much sport as you do but I hope I’ll find the time to do.

Have a nice day,
Jay.

Thank you very much :)!

But I've learned that I can't put a gerund after would. Could you please explain this to me ;*;?

Thank you very much. You need a full stop (period) at the end of a sentence — not a home-made emoticon.

But I've learned that I can't put a gerund after 'would'. Could you please explain this to me?
Please stop using home-made emoticons. If you want to insert a smiley, click on :-D and choose from those available.

You can certainly use a gerund after 'would you mind'. In fact, 'Would you mind to answer?' is wrong.
