can you explain what is the different between cold and cool? so many thanks before
"Cold" is more intense than "cool." (It's like "hot" [like a fire] vs. "warm" [like a candle].) Winters in Russia are cold; winters in Los Angeles are on the cool side. When you describe people, a "cold" person is uncaring, insensitive, unloving, or unemotional. A "cool" (slang) person is someone who is attractive, interesting, impressive, etc. 😎
Literally, it means that if someone pokes out your eye, then you poke out their eye, and if someone knocks out your tooth, then you knock out their tooth. It's basically doing something back (a negative action) to someone who did it to you. In ancient times, from which this quote originates, this was a way to keep vengeful violence from escalating. For instance, if someone poked out another person's eye, the victim was not allowed to kill the other guy; he was allowed to only poke out an eye.

"I will go to the United States after I finish IB here." If you want to be a little more formal, "I plan to go to the United States upon my completion of IB here." (You can replace "go to" with "study in," "travel to," "visit family in," or some other specific phrase.)

what is difference 'want' and 'wanna'? please, answer.
"Wanna" is just the slang/informal way of saying "want to." For example, "I wanna sleep" = "I want to sleep." "I wanna go to the beach" = I want to go to the beach."
"Was" is the standard past tense of "be" for I. In other words, if you're talking about the past tense, "I was" is what you will use:- I was sick yesterday. - I was studying with Henry at the cafe. - I was really tired this morning."I were" is used only in the subjunctive mood. It would take too long to explain what that is, so if I WERE you, I would read this article: http://bit.ly/1UfT6VD 👀
"it is better if we just like a few years ago." Is there any mistakes about this sentence?
Hmm ... it's unclear what you meant to say. "It is better if we just return to how things were a few years ago" could be right. "It is better if we just like how things were a few years ago" could also be right.

"I am the darkness that will light you up" Does it right sentence?
It is grammatically correct, but it doesn't sound logical. How can darkness light up something? ("I am the darkness that will swallow you up" makes more logical sense.)
