would someone check my english composition , please ？plus : how to use "improve"?
Would someone check and revise my english composition？

And here is another question : on our oral english class yesterday , one of my classmate said : I want to improve myself (the context is : he wanted to learn many things about english and his major to become better)
But our english teacher said : only if you were a bad boy , you want to improve yourself . it is not the correct expresion .

What do you think ?

Thanks a lot for helping me !!

Answer

你好 Echo.... I want to improve myself is OK, but not the best choice of words. If he want to improve his English, then can I want to improve my English... or improve in school, or give something specific he wants to improve upon.

Where is your Oral English teacher from?

Answer

Native English speakers usually do not say "I want to improve myself" when they mean they want to get better at English, or better in school.  And your teacher is mistaken -- whether you are good or bad at English, or in school, makes no difference.

Try saying this:  "I want to improve my English" or "I want to improve in school" or "I want to become a better student."  That will put a smile on your teacher's face!

Answer

Just as Vmusic said, "I want to improve myself" is not the best way to say it. It mostly implies "I want to improve my behaviour".

A better way to say it is "I want to become good at English", "I want to improve my English", "I want to have better grades in English" etc.
