Quote:
The following sentences correctly use ‘Due to…’ and ‘Due to the fact that…’:

1. The problem was due to a shortage of high court judges.
2. Due to overcrowding last year, the competition field was narrowed down to six teams.
3. Due to a delay in Lanzhou, the flight was unable to leave until this morning.
4. Shell said the cuts were due to a general easing of oil prices.
5. Some liberals also expressed worry that the impact of the motion would be reduced due to the current debate between Hong Kong and Britain on democratization.

It can be seen that ‘due to’ is followed by a noun phrase in all of the examples above. [It may NOT be followed by a main clause, as in this student example: *Due to they have no salary, they may need to think how to use it.].

However, it IS acceptable to use the structure ‘Due to the fact that’ + Main Clause, as the following examples show:

6. The difference must have been due to the fact that Minh had been living in a more pleasant environment for six months.
7. Mr Goh said the dramatic rise in the amount of American currency flowing from the territory back to the US might be due to the fact that more tourists had come to Hong Kong.

You should look up in a dictionary (eg. Oxford for Advanced Learners) for the usages of "due".

And in this sentence " i just wanna die in your arms", what does "just" mean?
"just" has several meanings. In this case, it means "only".

"Imma" means "I'm going to" (I'm gonna) or "I'm a".
"cut your balls off": you know it already

To improve speaking, you should communicate with native speakers, try to copy the way they speak, and pay more attention on your intonation and esp. pronunciation (how you pronounce is how you listen). Fluency first, and then accuracy. Using some idioms and expressions could help you speak more fluently and naturally.

To improve listening, you should turn on radio or TV every time, even when you don't understand or you are doing other things. It'll help you be familiar with English.

Watching movies is also a good way to improve your English.

It's getting more and more dificult to learn English.I can't find incentive to learn everyday.
If there were a beatiful girl teaching me everyday, my Eng skills would be so good

Moreover, say out loud what you're thinking, don't worry whether it was right or wrong, just be yourself. After that, the listener will correct you and you definitely learn from your mistakes.
Particularly, take part in english club or some English Coffee Speaking Area, you'll be familiar to the sound, the way they are using English.

Come Get THEM ^^
