decide whether to say …

Writing--how to write a blog
possible version:
I have trouble with phrasal verbs. There are so many of them an it seems impossible to work out the meanings just from the words.And some of the verbs have different meanings. For example, "put off" can mean postpone, discourage (someone from doing something), and make someone dislike (something). I try to use phrasal verbs sometimes, but I usually use the wrong one!
My classmates had some suggestions for me. One is to use flash cards on which I write down the phrasal verb and a sentence with it.In this way, I can study them when I have time. Another suggestion is to use the phrasal verb in a sentence that is true for me so that it's easier to remember.
I'm trying them now. I hope they will work for me.

Dear Liu Wen,
I’m terribly sorry to hear that you’re having trouble in your English listening. Maybe/ Perhaps the following advice is helpful to you.
Firstly, it is highly recommended that you should listen to English radio prorammes, which helps you get used to how fast native speakers talk. Secondly/Besides, you are supposed to repeat what you hear. Only in this way can you help yourself to experience the feeling of the language.Last but not least, you’d better record your voice so that you can listen to yourself and compare your pronunciation with the radio host’s.
I’d appreciate it if you could take my advice into consideration/account. Best wishes to you.
Yours,
Jia Xin

Sample Writing
Dear Ms Wang,
My name is Li Hua. I’m writing to ask for some help.
I have some trouble in learning English. First of all, I find our texts full of new words that are quite difficult for me to remember. Besides, the texts are too long for me to recite. What’s more, grammar is also a big challenge for me to learn.
Faced with so many difficulties, I have to ask you to do me a favor. It would be a good idea to introduce to us some good ways to learn new words so that we can learn them by heart more easily. In the meanwhile, I beg you to expain the text much more slowly,which can make the average students follow you smoothly. In addition, could you recommend some rules and good ways to learn grammar？ I’m sure that I can make great progress in my English study with your help.
Yours,
Li Hua
