Although, I have not been studying in oversea, my suggestions for the above sentences are as follows::
1 study > studying 2 corner (delete in)  here 3 Frankly, Mao Mao, do you need any assistance for this section?

Pls refer to post 3 for your question.
Originally, I want to write "Frankly speaking" to replace your word "actually", because it does not make sense in your sentence. It seems it is a typical "Chinese English". I just want to use one word to replace one word that makes sense.

Agreed!
Good to have English errors here!
So much fun!

Riccardo

Sorry... I meant English corner.... it was what I meant really... hehehehe... my English is such so very much poor.

I am in support of developing an English corner but I cannot concur with the proposal to add points for those who pinpointed others grammatical or spelling mistakes.  Don't make it a forum of which only formal English is allowed.  This will be boring and discourage people who are not so good in English to give a response here.

We never correct 44_66's misuse of Chinese and we sometimes see it funny and interesting.  Why should we impose a different standard in the English corner?

You have a very good insight!
Indeed, forum is just a place for us to relax.  I don't think it's necessary to express our idea in an extremely formal way.

Actually, people may say frankly when they are being less than frank... the same way people say honestly when they are being less than honest. In my humble opinion, words such as frankly and honestly are all fine, as long as one is using them correctly.

of course la....but my grammer is not good enough, if anyone makes any mistakes, welcome to correct it!!

me too ar

Riccardo

True. Very true.
But...
I am afraid I'd like to make a point to differentiate between formal and correct. Not being formal is one thing, not being correct is another thing. One can at least be correct without being formal, I guess.
