You are looking for a site that contains lots of similes and metaphors. Although the first website gives lots of metaphors (put into categories that will help you find appropriate ones), there does not seem to be one of similes - though Wikipedia gives quite a lot on its simile bit.
Oh, and the more you read and write English, the better it will become!

Try typing your story (stroys = stories?) in your native language. Then copy & paste it into http://www.freetranslation.com/
It won't be exact, but (no offense) better than the sample I've seen. Good luck!
Oh, your quoted sentence should read, "My heart was beating like a drum."

I can't understand your post but SparkNotes is a good site for anything to do with Eng Lang or Lit. That's what I use and I'm doing AS Level Lit!

what are you talking about????
by 'scray stroys', do you mean 'scary stories'????
just sit down and start writing anything that comes to mind. it doesn't have to be perfect at first - you can revise it later.

Try going to your local library and looking up those things. The first one I would try either action or romance.
Good luck!

P.S. Try proof reading your question before you post it. You might be less embarrassed that way:)

I can see so much need for improvement, that it is doubtful that "good sites" can help. Why not arrange with your tutor/teacher for extra tuition; unless of course your teacher also speaks Klingon!

Your example is called a "simile", and you can search under similes for various examples.
Be very careful about your spelling! It is difficult to understand what you are asking about.

I'd stick with Language for a few more years before you move on to literature if I were you.

You obviously can't speak it or type it. What the hell are you talking about? Are you referring to idioms? Similes? Metaphors?
