Jamal, our English teacher taught us that we must use "shall" after "I" and "we" at school. But at university the teachers said that there's no need to use "shall". That's why I don't know what is correct variant.

Thank u for corrections.

That is why I said you that you should use ''I'll'' It is the best way. You can use shall after ''I'' and ''We''. Nowadays it is used mostly as modal verb. For instance, Shall I go with you? Shall we go to cinema?

Ok. We'he chosen the topic for Russion lesson. But there is no any topic. Have u got any idea?

[J_a_m_a_l]

Yeah, I have some idea but now I can give you some short infomation. I think that we have to learn some kinds of expressions which we face them every day. Like to give directions, conversations on phone, at the market. I ensure you that it looks like easy but too difficult. And there is a instruction that you have to follow it.

And there is an instruction that you have to follow it.

I think it'll be very useful.

Expressions

Giving directions

It’s a bit complicated, I’d better show you on the map.
It’ll take about 20 minutes on foot.
Go to the right as you leave this building and turn left when you get to the town hall.
Keep straight on and go across the river. You’ll see the railway station on your right / on the right. Continue along that road for three blocks till you come to a church.
Opposite the church there’s a big square. The restaurant is down a little back street on the other side of the square.
You can take the tram – it’s the number 89 which says ‘ZOO’ on the front. You’ll need to get a ticket from the machine before you get on. At the fifth stop you get off and cross the road and walk about 500 metres. The restaurant is on the left, you can’t miss it.

Drive straight on until you see blue signs that say ‘CITY’. Follow these signs as far as the lake, and then turn right and drive along the lake for about 5 kilometres. The restaurant is on the right just after the first village. You can’t miss it.

Thanks Jamal for your information.

[MASTER_IER]

Good job, Jamal

This sentence is incomprehensible. Probably you want to say that you like that word very much.

Jamal, there wasn't any problem. If said "it rains cats and dogs" what will you understand? We use this sentence in a figurative meaning.

Hi. I'm here again. But where are our teachers? There's no any correction. Probably, our teachers are very busy.

Wow...I want no learn English...I dont speak,but not good read...

If I'm not mistaking, you want to say:
"I want to learn English. I can't speak and read English well. "

Thanks.But i think that i have more many errors in my message.

Hi eveyone. May I come to this lesson or may I present in this lesson.
Which is right?

Thanks.But i think that i have more errors in my message.

much more

Wow...I want no learn English...I dont speak,but not good read...

Your sentence is not quite correct! There couldn’t be two negations (отрицания) in one sentence.(rule)
The possible variants: I can’t speak English well, but my reading (skills) is (are) good
Or
I can speak English well, but my reading is not so good.
