Using the same word again and again is boring, which is why native English speakers use a wide variety of vocabulary to express their thoughts and feelings. In this vocabulary lesson, I will teach you how to express yourself more effectively by replacing the word "very" with more precise and interesting adjectives. For example, you can replace "very cold" with "freezing". This illustrates your point more precisely. You will sound more natural and intelligent. Using these adjectives on the speaking section of IELTS and TOEFL exams will impress your examiner and improve your score. Watch the video to discover many more examples of this kind of vocabulary substitution. Variety is the spice of life!

^If I had not trusted you…^

That is why I said you must be expert in english to get me in my sentence above. You thought I intend to write conditional type 3, no. That is mixed condition which means that I trust you why I didn't suck you.

1."i think" is not the same as " I think"
2.What do you mean by writing "bt" ?
3."i dont" is not the same as "i don't" and all are not the same as "I don't=I do not" as far as writing skills is concerned. Write what you have been taught and not what people write in their sms.
4.What do you mean in swahili by "people's chatting ?"

Stop using "Peoples" you are doing direct translation from Swahili to English
peoples meaning "watu",that is deadly wrong. People is already in plural form, when you add "s" i.e peoples the meaning change, I will not explain it, whoever is interest should try to find out .But also note peoples is not the same as peoples' (there is a possession mark after letter "s")

Just imagine, each word you see, it's new to you so you have to open your 2k+ pages to find its meaning, its sucks.

its sucks
"its sucks" is not the same as "it sucks " or in other word "it", "it's" and "its" have different meaning. Review what you have written and write what you intended.

U could've just say am guest/new here instead of this (am new guest).
Guest and new sound the same same.

Ndugu hapa watu wanajifunza acheni kuandika kwa kutumia vifupisho visivyo rasmi,kama unataka kuandika "you" andika full word na siyo "U".

collection's is not the same as collection and they have a different meaning with what you intended to write which is "corrections" note one use "r" and the other use "l".
Collect=kusanya, collections=makusanyo
correct=kosoa/sahihisha
correction=masahihisho
collection's make no sense in English language, may be if you a writing a language close to English but not English.
Food for thought:
What is the difference in meaning between "all together" and "altogether" note in the second word there is no space between.
