As for me...yeah, I think I should introduce myself to you firstly. As an ordinary Chinese girl, I am keen on the Chinese traditional culture very much.Because I think it owns a long and deep history and blooms many beautiful culture flowers with the time goes by. ( p.s I am not sure whether you can understand this sentence because I write it by the Chinese thought process.) So I hope share my joys on with you! Great sharing on language and culture,isn't it ?Ah~ha~!
I live in Hong Kong and Nanjing.My native language is Mandarin.But English is also very important to me in this modern time, whether on the communication or reading,especially in Hong Kong, there are many foreign friends.I can not imagine how to communicate without English.On the other side, English is also very beautiful. I like watching the classic Movie and my favorite actress is Vivien leigh (she was so brilliant!) . I dream of writing an English essay as affluent as my Chinese essay.Someone ever told me I should recite some good essays if I really want to master it, I think I should have a try though it sounds very hard.
Besides,I find that there are also many people learning Japanese in this website, which encourage me to learn Japanese too,because I fiend many traditional Chinese characters in it,That's so interesting!

I can't help feeling that the friends in Lang-8 are all kind and warm-hearted angels！
Yesterday was just the first day I log in this website,but I've got much help from you.
So I think I should give more help on your Chinese (mandarin).
Yeah, Anyone who is interested in Chinese culture can ask me and I am so pleased to help you!

I did a line-by-line correction on your post. It's good, and readable. The kinds of issues I point out are the kinds of things I used to see in essays written by second-semester college Freshmen who were native English speakers, so you're not doing too poorly. Some of the things I noted were word choices. For example, "fluent" instead of "affluent." The words sound the same, but are very different. "Fluent" means you can read, write, and speak the language well. "Affluent" means you are wealthy.
I also noticed many issues with using prepositions, particularly "sharing on." Here are some ways to use "share," and what they mean:
"Share a sandwich." Means two or more people have one sandwich. Both eat part of the sandwich.
"Share a sandwich with Mary." Means one of the people sharing the sandwich is Mary.
"Share a sandwich on the table." With "share," "on" is a location. I know with other verbs, it sometimes means "about," but with "share," it usually means a place. Like "I shared my story on my blog."
"I will share about Mandarin." This is an awkward way to say that you will talk about your experience with Mandarin. It's better to say "I will share Mandarin" or "I will share my experience with Mandarin" or even "I will talk about Mandarin."
If you're looking for a specific area to improve, learn everything you can about prepositions in English and what they mean. Then, whenever you speak to a native English speaker, ask them if you are using the preposition correctly. You'll find there are many idiomatic phrases using prepositions, and these can be maddening, because suddenly "on," which should really indicate a location, can mean "about" or "toward," and so on. Although most native speakers will understand you, you will develop a higher level of fluency and won't seem to be a second-language speaker if you have mastered prepositions.
