Dear teacher,
Would you please correct my sentence?

While doing chat on skype,I felt some frustration not be able to express myself well in English.
As new year is just around the corner, I have decided to make more progress in my English writing.
I have checked web pages to find a good teacher or school that correct my English writing.
After a lot of search, I have concluded taht I can't afford them.
Most of them limit number of words in one lesson.
My desire is to write English every day if possible.
I really want to write and write English and get them corrected for my English improvement.
That is why I have just landed down on this site.

Sincerely
Kenji
