Well, People will appraciate you if you would like to help others sincercely, not to picking others sarcastically.
the way of improve English communication is to relax and have fun in it.
Language is just a tool, no matter it is genuin or not, the content is the soul.
No matter it is in the English corner, or in your family when your kid is attempting to talk, Please encourage them as much as you can. that is the only way people can get improved..

From husband of watermelon

I get the gist of what you are trying to say, but you probably want to be able to communicate smoothly and fluently. It does feel better to express your thoughts without others having to stop and wonder exactly what you mean. Here are a few suggestions, though I am only guessing what your exact meaning really is.

I planed football for my son last weekend, it was cancelled for rain.

I had planned to let my son play football last weekend, but those plans were cancelled due to rain.

Perhaps you meant that you had planned a football game for your son. I wasn’t exactly sure whether that’s what you meant. Also, don’t forget the proper spelling of “planned.” I don’t think you intend to “plane” a football, as that would certainly ruin it.

I planed strawberry trip for my family this weekend, it was cancelled for bad weather as well.

I had planned a field trip for my family this weekend. It was cancelled due to bad weather as well.

I’m not entirely certain what a “strawberry trip” is supposed to be. I assume that you meant a field trip of some sort. Did you also intend to pick strawberries? In that case, you should say that you had planned to go strawberry picking with your family. One thing to keep in mind is that you should use periods instead of commas when you have expressed a complete idea. Many non-native speakers of English have very poor punctuation skills and don’t seem to understand how it affects the overall communication of their written word. Try not to make the common mistake of using too many commas (,) and not enough periods (.). If you are in doubt, remember that you can also use a semicolon (;). Good writers actually try to use commas and semicolons sparingly, but never hesitate when it is absolutely necessary. Also, don’t forget to use articles, like “a,” in front of nouns.
When we can expect sunshining?

When can we expect some sunshine?

“Sunshine” would be the noun you are looking for. Since it is uncountable, the addition of the word “some” helps to clarify the property of the word.
My english is very poor, i know most of you with very good English  ,

My English is very poor. I know most of you are very good with English.

I think this is closer to what you really meant. If you say that “I know most of you,” that means you are familiar with most of the people you are talking to. Did you really mean that you know the people personally or that you know that most of the people reading your words have good English skills? Don’t forget to always capitalize the word, “English.”


could anyone of you kindly help me correct these errors?

Could anyone kindly help me correct these errors?

If you say “any one of you,” that would imply that you only require one person to respond to your inquiry.

Thank very much in advance!   

Thank you very much in advance!

You could also say “thanks,” but don’t forget to add the “s.”.

Make sense.

Please kindly point out errors in my side, and help me to correct it.

English is so hard to learn for our non-native speakers, I think the root cause is diffrent thinking way between Chinese and Westerns. but English is more important in my career, so I think continual improvement for my English ability is necessary..

when I wrote to my friends in English, I alway googled my sentences to see if they were correct, I am afraid that the mistakes I made  embarrass me, although I won't feel that because they are just reading my email on the computer.
In here, I feel better, everybody is so kind, you all always encourge people, I am not afraid of making mistakes..

I quite agree with you.

So one phenomenon is quite interesting, when we speak English with Chinese, it is quite easy to understand. Because I think we have same way of thinking, or we have been learned from same text books. I know that is called Chinglish, not English. But if we are communicate with native speaker sometime, it is hard to understand completely, and find proper words to express my real idea.I found my English is so poor.

Do you think which way is effective to improving English for Chinese?.

watch english movie is a better way to improve english, but I always see the chinese subtitles.

Agree. This is what people always say. But it's absolutely no way for one who can write well but not speak properly.

"In here", no need to use "In", right? [/quote]

Last night, i happned to heard my son reading a chapter book ".... 'i'm in here',mom answered in her office,....." i had the same question as you ,but then i know, we can use "in here" actually.you see, American use it themselves.So sometimes ,we should leave the grammars which our teachers taught us before away.[tt3].

Dont' be afraid of making mistakes. Even native speakers make mistake a lot.
Think about this, when we speak Chinese, are we always say right sentence?  In addition, many Americans can't speak in Chinese as good as we speak in English..

Agree.
One time, I was asked by a foreign student who was learning Chinese. “What is the difference between 我又来一次 and 我再来一次?” To me they were the same. But his Chinese teacher did tell him there was some grammatical difference..
