I'm a Eng learner, and this is my writing. If you wanna kill the time, check my grammar. Feel free.

From Pride and Prejudice and my personal experience, I know that people can value highly on themselves and think they are unusual, but they have to be a little humble and friendly, or their arrogance will give rise to people's hatred. In the same way, we don't have to be irritated just because you don't like the way other people do.
When we have prejudice, we can judge things in fair, and we can't see things in perspective. Therefore, we should learn to see things in different lights so that we won't at a loss in distinguishing the rights and wrongs. What's more, we ought to understand a person by getting along rather than to judge a person by the first impression.

I've taken your paragraph and I'll correct sentences in brackets ( )

From Pride and Prejudice and my personal experience, I know that people can value highly on themselves and think they are unusual (this might suit better: I know that people value themselves highly, and think that they are unusual), but they have to be a little humble and friendly (try stopping the sentence before the 'but', then the sentence next would be: They should, however, be humble and friendly...), or their arrogance will give rise to people's hatred. In the same way, we don't have to be irritated just because you (you have used 'we', and then switch to 'you', be consistent)don't like the way other people do (this sentence is a little hard to read, try: In the same way, people should be more tolerant of others).
When we have prejudice, we can (should be cannot) judge things in fair (change to: in a fair manner), and we can't see things in perspective. Therefore, we should learn to see things in different lights so that we won't (be) at a loss in distinguishing the rights and wrongs (I like this sentence, it brings the point across nicely). What's more, we ought to understand a person by getting along rather than to judge a person by the first impression.

I think that you have made some very common errors, but your general writing style is quite good. Keep it up and good work!

Try this:

From Pride and Prejudice and my personal experience, I know that people can value themselves highly and think they are unusual, but they must be a little humble and friendly or their arrogance will give rise to other people's hatred. In the same way, we don't have to be irritated just because we don't like other people's ways.

When we have prejudice, we cannot judge things fairly and we can't see things in perspective. Therefore, we should learn to see things in different lights so that we won't be at a loss in distinguishing right from wrong. What's more, we ought to understand a person by getting along rather than judging a person by the first impression.


First paragraph

1) Do not use a comma before a conjunction (or) unless it is used in a list of items.
2) Arrogance will not give rise to all people's hatred, only other people's hatred.
3) In the last sentence, you have violated a rule called pronoun agreement - you switch back and forth between "we" and "you."

Second paragraph:
1) In the first sentence, I think you meant we canNOT judge things in fairness (or fairly), not that we can judge them.
2) The phrase is "be at a loss" not "at a loss."
3) Usually when "distinguishing" is used, the preposition "from" is used with it.
4) In the last sentence, you do not use parallel construction. This means that when you use a verb in one form (in this case the "-ing" ending (getting)), you should continue to use that form of the verb throughout the sentence (not switch to the "to" form, as in "to judge").

The rest of the corrections were just idioms and syntax - stuff that you will pick up as you become more familiar with English.

This was very good - I'm very impressed!

From Pride and Prejudice and my personal experience. I know that people highly value themselves and think they are
unusual, but they need to be a little humble and friendly; or thier
arrogance will give rise to people's hatred.In the same way, we don't have to be irritated just because you don't like the way other people do thing.
Therefore, we should try to see thing through others eyes, so we don't go at a loss distinguishing the difference between the rights and wrongs. Once more, we ought to understand a person by getting along rather than judging a person by the first impression. For remember Judge not lest ye be judged.

Wow - very impressed. Wish I could learn your lanaguage as skillfully as you have learned ours. Here is your missive re-written (I do editorial work). Hope this helps.

From reading Pride and Prejudice and judging it with my own, personal experience, I understand that people put high value on themselves and believe they are unique (just like snowflakes). However, it is also my understanding that these same people must show friendliness and humbleness or their own arrogance will give rise to other people’s hatred. It is not necessary to be irritated just because you don’t care for the way other people act.

When we have prejudice we become judges and we can’t see things in perspective – thus become one of those referenced in the first sentence. As humans we should learn to see things in different ways and perspectives so that we won’t be at a loss in distinguishing rights and wrongs – whether they are societal or our own prejudices. Further, it is my sincere believe that we ought to understand another person by attempting harmony and seeing the other’s perspective, rather than immediately judging by our own perceived beliefs.

Wish I could use colors here, then I could just mark it in red like any English teacher!

Your opening, Eng should be spelled out, unless you mean Eng is your last name! Then, you don't "kill the time." You either "kill time," or maybe "kill some time."

First off, we usually use quotes or underlines for a book title. Since you can't underline words here, quotes would be in order for "Pride and Prejudice." You're right in capitalizing the title, though!

"...value highly on themselves," would be better as "think highly of themselves."

"People's hatred" is a kind of strong label. I never like to use "hate" if I can use something else. -Maybe "disdain"?

"...because you don't like the way other people do," I'd change to "because we don't like the way others do something."

"...we can judge things in fair," ought to be "we cannot judge things fairly,"

"...see things in different lights" is more English as "in a different light..." and "...we won't at a loss..." should be "we won't be at a loss..."

In "...the rights and wrongs" I'd leave out "the".

And finally, "...by the first impression," would be more proper as, "...by first impressions."

These are all minor, and for someone learning English, I'd say you are doing well. Despite those minor flaws, it's all understandable. -Keep it up!

People with high self-esteem and who arrogantly view themselves as extra-special can give rise to hatred in others if they are never seen to also practice the traits of humility and friendliness. On the other hand, however, it is pointless for people to waste energy hating people who unwisely choose to practice solely selfish behaviors. These things I have witnessed in my own personal experience as well as reflected in the characters portrayed in Pride and Prejudice.

(I don't understand what you are trying to say in the first sentence of the second paragraph because of the phrase, "judge things in fair." If you can clarify that, I could help you with the grammar in that paragraph.)

My motto is "Honesty is the perfect coverage" and that i earnings from it plenty. the three causes I firmly have self assurance it are as follows. For one component, honesty makes me have an basic wide unsleeping and that i do not favor to agonize about something being printed. for yet another, I consistently have a honest attidute in the route of each little thing so as that I received't do something undesirable, alongside with dishonest on an exam, stealing, or taking great thing about others. very last yet not leasr, i favor to be a straightforward human being.

Just one or two errors here and there, otherwise it is excellent!!
In the last paragraph - "So that we won't (be) at a loss...."
Last sentence of the first para sounds to be incorrect, especially its finishing.
The usage of rights and wrongs is incorrect - it should be right and wrong.
