Hi All, I'm being sad! The feelings are uncomfortable. I have opened my email. One of messages said that I were rejected to join a forum!
Yesterday, I registered a forum. To join it, I must pass a test about English grammar. I must write some articles to test. I couldn't pass! It mean that I won't be joined it anymore ! I won't have chance to try again!
I often think that my English grammar is enough to use. But now, I have realized that I was wrong !

I would not want to be on a forum that judged my grammar. The forums are for your opinions and thoughts not to be judged for your English skills by others. I think you are better off anyway. Don't be sad about you grammar skills. I can bet the people conducting the forums don't have perfect grammar theirselves. You are able to get your point across on the discussions and that's what matters. Some people do not even make an effort to learn a new language, your a step a head of them. Best Wishes!

You said it right, stowyk.
A forum like that have no way to get much improvement or just no fun anyway. Language is there for humans to be understood by the other. Not because you have to be a perfect grammarian or whatever. And the one thing forums use is language. If they are so strict about it, that forum would end soon enough because they are too uptight and could not progress as fast as how different cultures integrate together under the concept of understanding the other despite the grammar, spelling and format of your article...if you get what I mean. Argh! I'm back to being too technical again...I'm taking a break for a moment...

Your English is not the best, but I have seen a lot worse! Even some people that have English as their first language would probably fail if they were tested on grammer. I don't think I would want to be a part of a forum that tested your English anyway. You could probably find another one that wouldn't test you. The best way to get better at English is by practicing, and you are doing that and improving. If you really want to join that forum, give it some time and then try again. If not, just don't worry about it.

I agree, grammar can be tricky....and your English isn't all that bad. I have English as my home language and on a good few occasions I have used grammar incorrectly when writing articles! Don't give up on learning and perfecting your languages, English and others...such knowledge can perhaps serve you well in the future. Good luck with those forums.

hi,
just don't worry about that forum and try some other similar forums. There are few sites which give you free tips for writings, improving english etc. one such site is daily writing tip, they also provide a free grammar guide.
Best of luck and as others have suggested Mylot is another forum which can help you improve your language skills.
Take care

Last week i applied for some jobs on a website. I posted a pic of myself there. The very next day i recieve a email from them saying that the pic had to be of the applicant. Well, im totally confused because it was a pic of me and i was applying. So I answered them back but have not heard from them again. Im just totally confused.

Don't feel sad about it. Maybe you can join it next time. Improve your grammar more, and when you think you already have a good grasp of it, try joining the forum again. Always remember that failing is when you stop trying.

Would you kindly share the name of the forum? You may be rejected by that particular forum, but there are other forums too. If you try hard to improve your command over English grammar and language, I am sure you would discover yourself as accepted in another forum. So don't feel disappointed and try again.

It's alright there's a lot of forum out there to join and earn where you don't have to be tested before you can post. Having good grammar just needs practice thru reading and writing. For now, don't be hard to yourself, just enjoy everything that you do.

I maybe learn more English to improve all skills. I don't know why but I can't learn more English even I love it.

I'm also not good with English grammar. My primary purpose of joining mylot is to practice.
Now about your English grammar, I'm sorry but I have to tell you frankly. You really have no chance of passing a test about English grammar. It's very obvious in the way you wrote this short article. There are more grammatically wrong sentences than the correct ones.
Sorry again my friend for what I've said. Anyway, the room for improvement is larger than what we think. It has unlimited area, so let's continue practicing.

Oh, you don't need to sorry me, my friend. I know how is my English. I'm only feel sad a bit because this is the first time I have an exactly and straight comment about it from others.
Thank you for your comments. I'll try to improve my English skill.

Hi, don’t feel so bad. English is a foreign language to many people and it takes years before you can completely master it. Let’s look at your post. I will write what you wrote and correct it for you.
Hi All, I m being sad! Should have been, hi all, I am very sad.
One of messages said that I were rejected to join a forum! Should have been, one of the messages said that I was rejected in a forum application.
Yesterday, I registered a forum. Should have been yesterday, I registered in a forum.
I must pass a test about English grammar. Should have been, I must pass a test in English grammar.
Your English is not half that bad. Learn to use Microsoft word when typing because it corrects you as you type. Your major problem is tenses. Past, present and future.

Okay, wait a second, this type of thing seems familiar to me. Have you tried to join postloop? Please tell me I'm just wrong. They've already rejected a lot of people because of reasons only they knew about...
