r u high school student or college student?
You should really work hard on your grammar.
1. use linking word for more than two sentences;
2. try not use 'must'; in english, it does not mean what you think in chinese;
3. frankly is adv. not adj.
...and so on and on...
try hard~~

~!~thank you for your help~
I am  always taking mistake in English,so I am trying to remember others'''''''''''''''' article by heart.
I think it is right to me.
                         thirteen equals one
vicars are  always raising money for one cause or another. but they have not managed to have the church clock repaired.the church clock,which used to work day and night for over twenty years.however ,it stopped  a year ago.
last night,however,the vicar  woked up with a start,the clock was stricking again. he looked  at his watch,it is one o''''''''''''''''clock,but the clock struck thirteen times .
"what was happened ?"the vicar said to himself ,he decided to find  out the truth.
with a torch,he went up to the clock tower,in the torchlight,he catch a person whom he immediately recognized as the butcher.
"what the hell are you doing here?"aksed the vicar,"I am trying to repaired the clock"the butcher said,"I have already come here to repair for a coulpe of nights.you see,the clock is working now,but at one o''''''''''''''''clock,it would strick thirteen times again. I could do nothing about it"
"oh,it is ok,thirteen is better than nothing,then,let''''''''''''''''s go downstair and have a cup of tea ,I think that we will get used  to that" replied the vicar with a smile
sometimes thirteen equals one

it is a city off East Sea (This sentence should be wrong)
i really dun think it is necessary to study writing in the way of memorizing others' articles.
Sometimes u know, u may understand the meaning  the author want to say.
But if ask you to write on the same topic, u may not be able to write in that way.
Firstly, yr vocabulary is a prob. Secondly, our chinese usually write english in our own way-chinese english^_^. so just read is enuf, no need to memorize all.
u should try watever way u think can improve yr english, then see which one improves yr most la.
For me, i dun want to improve o. lazy and also think chinese is important too.

the city is in the  sight of East Sea
the city is near to East Sea
I only remembered the word ''''off'''' means "near to'''' ,maybe it is not a right way

I have been wanting to write to you for a long time*************Not suitable
It is a excited news *******usually "an exciting news" is used in this case.
there are some lovely small animals live with us.*******living with us. used as adj.
it is funny to live the town****live in the town
say when you can come*****say can not used in such way. u should use "tell me" or other.

better double check after u finished writing, there are some grammar errors.

you are so  kind to me ,god bless you!~,~
