Anything in English....( Practice your writing here)

Hi mates..,
I've been wondering if someone is interested in writing in English....just about anything comes into your mind...It might be your feelings when it's raining , or about a girl who just happened to walk pass your classroom...
It can be a sentence, or it can be your whole interesting story......Share them with others, and we'll correct the mistakes to improve our English together....
Please don't be shy with your English, if you don't make mistakes, you won't learn anything ...Copy and paste from some website is easy too , but it wouldnt help your English much, would it ?
For a start, anyone help me with my little writing above please ? Thanks

_I got a bad grade in my Philosophy class this morning. I feel very sad and disappointed of myself. Then in this evening, I decided to go to my favorite Japanese restaurant to have dinner. I ordered a dish of Yakisoba noodle, and I ate it with a little hot chili sauce. When I finished my Yakisoba, I came to the counter to order another bowl of Uden noodle with soup. The restaurant??Ts owner wondered and asked: ??o wow, you just ate! You now still hungry????
I answered him coldly, ??o Yep.??? Then I gave him the money.
He wagged his head with a chuckle on this face while he took my money. And he still had that chuckle until he brought my order to me. It was a little embarrassing, and I knew I am being crazy of eating; however, I'd rather to fill my stomach full of food instead of sadness from the exam. I knew that when my stomach gets full, my sadness would be gone, and then I??Td go to study. But finally, it was so funny that when I finished that Uden noodle, I had a feeling that I??Td rather to go to take a nap instead of going to study, because my stomach had been too full. Whatta lazy man!

I read a novel "Chuyện kể năm 2000"(can be translated as "story for 2000") by Bùi Ngọc Tấn yesterday.I read from moring to late night. Can not control.Read.Think.
It is long time i have just read short stories and poems instead of novels.The feeling was wonderful.

My class looks pretty weird at the moment.....28 computers with 3 boys and a girl. My teacher has gone, probably for a drink, as she usually does in breaktime. This is the first time I study with all boys, with many things new about them that I've never knew before .Sometimes I wish I were a boy too, so that I didn't feel being odd in the class.... Anyway, I hope I'm not odd, but unique
To quanbanh97202: Yakisoba noodle and Uden noodle sounds yummy , but what are those ? I enjoy eating a lot when I'm down too..., but then it seems like I'm down all the time
To tao_lao: I think it should have been "It has been a long time that ive just read short stories and poems instead of novels"....Would you like to share with us what the interesting novel was about ?

Thank Mahars for your correcting.
C h u y ệ n k ể n ă m 2 0 0 0 vừa xuất bản trong nước là bị tịch thu. Nhưng sau đó tác phẩm được đưa lên mạng lưới điện tử và nhanh chóng được phổ biến rộng rãi toàn cầu.
Tác giả Bùi Ngọc Tấn sinh năm 1934, quê ở Hải Phòng. Bắt đầu viết văn từ năm 1954. Ông đã trải qua các nghề: làm rừng, làm báo, bốc vác, kéo xe, thợ sắt, đi buôn, nhân viên văn phòng. Từ 1968 - 73: bị tập trung cải tạo trong đợt đàn áp 'Vụ án Xét lại Phản đảng'. Sau 5 năm tù đày, qua nhiều trại giam, ông được ' trả tự do' nhưng vẫn bị treo bút suốt hơn 20 năm.
Mãi tới năm 1993, bài viết Nguyên Hồng, thời đã mất của ông mới được đăng trên tạp chí Cửa Biển ở Hải Phòng. Tiếp theo là tác phẩm Một thời để mất, 1995; rồi Những người rách việc, 1996. Tháng 2 năm 2000, nhà xuất bản Thanh niên của Ðoàn Thanh niên Cộng sản in tác phẩm Chuyện kể năm 2000.
Chuyện kể năm 2000 kể về Nguyễn Văn Tuấn, một người tù chính trị, mà ai cũng nghĩ là chính tác giả. Lí do bị bắt giam, cảnh sống trong tù, cảnh sinh sống sau khi được trả tự do. Thân phận của Nguyễn Văn Tuấn và của nhiều tù nhân khác.
Bằng một giọng văn kể truyện tinh tế và lôi cuốn, tác giả đưa ta vào 'sống' với những người tù đủ loại chính trị, hình sự; đủ các gốc gác: Việt kiều hồi hương Già Ðô, chàng thanh niên con liệt sĩ tên Giang, người dân tộc A Thềnh, nhà hoạt động chống cộng Nguỵ Như Cần, sĩ quan Ðà lạt đại uý Kiều Xuân Vĩnh... người đọc sẽ được giáp mặt với chế độ lao tù cải tạo và nhiều mặt của đời sống miền Bắc xã hội chủ nghĩa.

Người đọc sẽ thưởng thức một bút pháp tuyệt vời, mới lạ. Sẽ yêu mến ngay một cây bút có cái tâm không hận thù, có một tầm nhìn mở rộng, có một nội lực thâm hậu. Tình người sâu lắng đậm đà. Cảnh đời hiện thực cười rơi nước mắt. Những đau nhức, những yêu thương nhớ đời. Chuyện kể năm 2000 là một tuyệt tác ít thấy trong kho tàng văn chương Việt Nam hiện đại.

"My monologue and a couple of dialogues at work"
It's 5:30 PM, I'd better get going.
As usual, the bar is open at 6:00. In HCM city, nobody goes to bars or clubs at this early time though. I just have to sit here, behind the counter and listen to music.
Gosh, the music sounds awefully sucked. It's a bar. How come they're play the Westlife sh..t. Boring !!!!
It's starting at 9:00 when people begin to walk in.
Many groups of young guys and gals came in. Look at them, try to be cool, or what they say " sành điệu"? What a bunch of losers. I bet they're still in college and nobody ever works. They have a lot of money though.
The music this time is getting better. Oh yeah, I like the new tune from Our Lady Peace. I can't say enough how much I love the internet. All the new music here are Mp3 copies... sounds great though.
"Sao nhạc dở quá dzậy anh ấy? Đổi dùm đi"
Get lost, you idiot. What a sucker. I'm enjoying it. Well, he's a customer, I can't say that to him, whatever. "Ờ, bài này mới, tụi này phát lên để giới thiệu thôi, huynh không thích hả?"
Oh man, forget about the music, a white girl just walked in. What is she doing here? I wonder what nationality she is. Blue eyes, brunette kind of hair.... man, she is so hot. She wears an ultra tight jean and a red tank top. Damn, white skin, lots of curves to see.
I called a guy working with me, ê, con nhỏ này người nước nào mậy?
1 là Mỹ, 2 là Úc, bắt chuyện hỏi thử xem biết liền... nhìn hấp dẫn dễ sợ. Đ.M., đang đông, tập trung làm đi con, coi chừng bị chửi bây giờ. he answered.
what a liar, like I don't know him. The guy couldn't even leave his eyes out of her breasts.
Get back to the music, they're playing the tracks from Fast and the Furious. Man, I like metal. "Made me a super star... It don't matter who you are... made me...."
- "excuse me, do you speak English?" The girl asked me.
- "Yes, a little. How can I help you?"
- "What's song are you playing? I mean what's it name?"
- "Super Star" - from Saliva. It's a sound track from Fast and the Furious."
- "Wow, nice. I love this song. You guys rock, great music"
- "Thank you, you want some drinks?"
- "Well, I'll take a lemonade."
- Alright... it'll be right up.
- "Where did you live in America?" - I asked
- "Wow, how do you know that I'm an American?"
- "I heard your accent, you sounded a lot different than British and Autralian"
- "Oh, I see, Is it good or bad? (with a smile), uh I'm from Cleveland, Ohio"
- "No, not at all, I love the way you guys pronounce words" "Oohh, but I never heard about the place, where is it? close to California?"
- "No, very far from California, it's in the Midwest, close to Chicago, you know Chicago?"
- "Oh yeah... Chicago"
- "You speak English very well, how long have you been studying english?"
- "Not so long though, I have some Australian and American friends. I practiced with them."
- "Good"
"Ê, có người dãy bên kia kìa, mày qua phụ tao coi, tính cua con nhỏ thiệt hả?"
- "I gotta go, nice to talk to you"
- "Oh yeah, me too, very nice to meet you. I'll come back next week."
Man, she is so nice. Beautiful, nice. I didn't even ask why she's here, what's she doing in this city. Or at least her name.
Who cares about the idiots that always wear brand-name clothes and don't know sh*t about music. Hell...
Hi guys...
