I am sorry for asking such easy questions!However,I really don't know the answers.Thanks for helping me! 
1.The goods are of good quality.
2.The goods are of good qualities.
Which sentence is correct?And why?
What is the difference between take part in and join?
For example:
Would you like to join the club which we just set up last month?
My teacher told me that I had to use join in the sentence above.
Then I asked why,she didn't tell me.She just said that:You should!
But why?

Hey, Winky, are you Winky Dragonfly and Winkysec? Anyway, here are my answers:
Your goods are good-quality things, so they are of good quality. If you wanted to say that the goods have good attributes, then you could say thay have good qualities, but you would not say that they are of good qualities.
When you take part in something, you participate. You can take part in a celebration or a protest or a toast, etc. When you join something, you become a member of it. So you join a club or join a team. You can join in a celebration or a protest, etc., in which case you are taking part in it.
Hence you can join a club and take part in / join in its activities.

Sorry.I am winkydragonfly,I am winkysec.
You know I have lost winkydragofnly this account.
And yesterday,I have find a paper that wrote this account's username and password,which I have forgotten the password before.
Here,I should say that,winkydragonfly this account had been lost twice.
The first time,I registered the one named"winky"(this one.)
But before long,I had got my "winkydragofnly" back.So I didn't use "winky" any more.Time flies,and I forgot this account.
However,"winkydragofnly" had been lost again.And I couldn't remember what the password was in "winky".
So I had to register another one named"winkysec".
Yesterday,I have found a paper which showed my account's username and password.So I have got "winky" this account back!
So winky is winkydragofnly and winkysec.Sorry again.

Hi, Winky!
Your English is good and so are your questions. No need to be sorry!
And I like your little Winky icon. So cute.
Your friend, CP |
