PS. This community isn't United Statesian, so you aren't "foreign" to it due to your nationality.

Well to start, it would be "I have written". Least that seems to make the most sense.
Also, while not needed, contractions might help your writing seem more natural.
That's all I can think of at the moment!
^ Or that!

When you post in the 'Get Help' thread, mention that you'd like an explanation of why we're suggesting the changes that we are. I often don't think to put that in my replies.

Is that cake frosting?
Read books in English, that helps a lot. Plus, literature in its original language is always better than its translations: you would not believe the difference in quality between, say, Pratchett's books and the Italian translations.*
If you live in a big city, there probably are a number of international bookstores relatively close to you - and otherwise, there always are Amazon and similar companies.
But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.
There are some words that don't need to be capitalized at every instance, such as "Like" in the OP, as it is not a proper noun.
Why is your grammar poor? Is it a foreign-language thing? (ie, you only have this trouble in English.)
My biggest advice would be to read a lot. After awhile, certain formations just 'seem right' because you've seen them all the time.
Also, you can try reading grammar books, for some explicit instruction.
Oh, and Microsoft Word has a grammar-checker as well as a spell-checker. It's not perfect, but it would catch some of the mistakes you made in this thread, at least.
If I'm asking for advice on a story idea, don't tell me it can't be done.
Hey guys.
