Dear Betty,
Your English is really fairly good but you are spoiling it by not using capital letters where they belong, using commas instead of periods, and putting your punctuation marks too far from the last word of a sentence. And worst of all, you are using chat group short forms in place of real words such are "r" for are, and "u" for you. Panpanpan and I are really getting tired of trying to get many of you to stop. Maybe one of these days I'll just give up.
Betty, Of course, you are a newcomer, so we don't feel annoyed with you, my deargirl. But we are really getting seriously annoyed by all the chat group short forms!
Don't worry about your English so much, Betty. It will come. Do these things correctly and you will have made a big difference in your writing immediately. Right now it looks illiterate because of not using the capitals, using the chat group short forms and incorrectly using punctuation.
I like to try to help most people here who want it, but I help them as a group, just as I am helping you here, but expect others to read this and take note, too. We are all unpaid volunteers here, and have full lives outside of the forum. My time is limited, so by hoping people will read and learn from what is given to others like you now, is the best way that I can do it.
I'm glad to welcome you to the forum, Betty. You wrote a very nice note. It is well composed and you did many things right. If you make the suggested improvements, your English will become very good quite soon.
Below is your corrected post. Please compare it to the original and you will learn a lot from the changes Try to do the spacing of the punctuation and the capital letters as I have changed them in your post. (Also, as I do them in my own post, here. These are not little things in English. They are big things. Even if some students imagine that they are just small little things and that English instructors are being too demanding. These things matter very much! I also made a few other changes.
If you stay with this forum, take part in the conversation and reading, and do your best to learn from others, and then maintain the good changes in what you write after that, your English will improve rapidly.
This is not the place for short forms such as u r and so on. Don't do them except in chat groups. This is not a chat group. It is an English forum where people are expected to write their best English and check what they have written before sending. I am a native English speaker living in Canada where English is the language I speak all the time, yet I still always re-read and correct my posts to this forum before sending. So should all of you here who are trying to learn to write good English.
Warm good wishes and encouragement to you, Betty, from Mary

CORRECTED POST
Good afternoon, Mary!
Excuse me. Allow me to introduce myself first. I am a newcomer. I like English very much, but I don't know how to learn it well. According to your talking here I found that my English is very, very poor. I decided that I should pay all my attention to it, but I think learning it well is not easy. I need everyone's help. Would you like to teach me?
I know no matter what subject you are learning, you must have some interest, patience and confidence. In fact, I lack these. That is why my English is very poor.
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Betty
