Dear Teachers,

1. I don't wanna come back to the previous company.I see that there's a bright future for me in this new company.

2. I decide to stay work for this company 'cause I like real big challanges and my ability will be improved way better in the near future.

- Are these natural to say?

Thanks a lot to Teachers,

1. I don't wanna come back to the previous company.I see that there's a bright future for me in this new company.

--I would rewrite it as, "I don't want to go back to my old company. I see a bright future for me in this new company."

I wouldn't write "wanna" for "want to" unless I were writing dialogue and wanted to sound like the speaker. In speech, people do say "wanna" for "want to," but it's not a real word, any more than "I dunno" is the right way to write "I don't know."

2. I decide to stay work for this company 'cause I like real big challanges and my ability will be improved way better in the near future.

--I would rewrite it as, "I decided to keep working for this company, because I like big challenges, and I think I can improve a great deal soon."

Again, "'cause" instead of "because" is heard in speech but is a little lazy and should not be used in writing except for dialogue. People also say "real" instead of "very" or "really," but it always sounds lazy to me and should not be written except as dialogue.

In my humble opinion, of course.

Hope this helps.
