(1) Because many missionaries come and back so often, I don�t want to remember their names now. It is kind of getting into a habit of tiring to remember their names.

(2). Thanks for you to give me your address. I wonder you are still a learner for English. Because your English is so good. I also agree with your ideas. For English, their ranges are so wild that we can't reach it for many fields.

(3). If you don't mind I will sent you my questions next time. I usually like to write a short article that could improve my writing and also speaking, because if I didn't make a mistake for writing that could be no problem for me to communicate with someone in english, right!

Would you please edit the above.

Thanks.

Because so many missionaries come and go, I can't remember all their names. It is tiring to try to remember all their names.

(2). Thanks for you to give me your address. I wonder you are still a learner for English. Because your English is so good. I also agree with your ideas. For English, their ranges are so wild that we can't reach it for many fields.

Thank you for giving me your address. Your English is so good, I wonder if you still call yourself a student. I also agree with your ideas. [I do not understand the last sentence.]

(3). If you don't mind I will sent you my questions next time. I usually like to write a short article that could improve my writing and also speaking, because if I didn't make a mistake for writing that could be no problem for me to communicate with someone in english, right!

If you don't mind, I will send you my questions next time. I like to write short articles to improve my writing--and my speaking. If I can write without making mistakes, I should be able to speak English with others, right?

Thank you so much. I think the part that you did not understand, is as follows:

Original: For English, their ranges are so wild that we can't reach it for many fields.

My guess: English is such a broad language we can't possibly learn it all.

Would you kindly edit both. Thanks again.

Where is the original text? I'd like to see it, because it is still puzzling to me. Anyway, in answer to your request, try this:

"English has such a wide range of specialized vocabularies in so many fields that no one can hope to master them all."

Thanks CP, this is the original text, the beginning of this thread:

2). Thanks for you to give me your address. I wonder you are still a learner for English. Because your English is so good. I also agree with your ideas. For English, their ranges are so wild that we can't reach it for many fields.
