I am trying to write a nice, well-written paragraph that summarizes all the following information: Please bypass the "Verbal" section in your admission decision. I got a low grade in it becuase of the followings: I didn't have enough time to prepare for the exam (I took the exam during my final exam week ), also, I have been here in the U.S for two years and I am using English language on a daily basis throughout communication with others, so this would have for sure improved my English language skill

You might use the following paragraph as a guide for writing your own, but I would not suggest copying it word for word. They would almost certainly realize it was written by a native speaker. Follow the structure, and change any words/phrases you wouldn't normally use. You might also want to reference your TOEFL results if applicable.

"I am aware that certain of my test scores are not in keeping with the high standards for admission to (name of University/program you are applying to). I was under an inordinate amount of stress during the examination, due to its being held on the last day of my undergraduate final exams. I believe, and I am sure the committee would agree, that my adequate understanding of the English language is evidenced by the fact that I have lived two years in the United States and successfully use English in all my day to day communications. I look forward to gaining a more perfect understanding of the language and its nuances in my further studies at your fine institution. For these reasons, I would ask that the committee please take into account my special circumstances when considering my scores in the Verbal section of (put the name of whatever tests you took here.)

I am writing this to ask for leniency in regards to your final decision. I received a low grade on the "Verbal" section of my entrance admissions exam.
I realize that I could have prepared more or chosen to take the exam at a less hectic time for me. I know that taking the exam during finals week did not give me sufficient time to study.
I have been in the United States for two years and use English daily in my communications with others. I feel that my English skills have improved dramatically and look forward to studying even further at your college.

It really would be better if you wrote this yourself. I know - you want it to come out sounding good. But since your whole point is that English is not your native language, it'll look kind of silly if it's written in perfectly grammatical English.

Just write that you've been in the US for two years and have learned a great deal about English in that time, but you know you have a way to go. Anyone worth anything will understand that and will respect you for it. Good luck!

Awww that's gorgeous. the small print of my existence meanwhile are particularly inconsequential. My father grow to be a relentlessly self-convalescing boulangerie proprietor from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mom grow to be a 15-year-previous French prostitute named Chloe with webbed ft. My father might womanize; he might drink. He might make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. from time to time, he might accuse chestnuts of being lazy : (
