What's the difference between vacation and holiday? Is it enjoy your holiday or vacation?

We Americans use "vacation." Brits (and people who use British English) prefer "holiday."
- Jo is vacationing in Hawaii. (American English)
- Jo is holidaying in Hawaii. (British English)
For us Americans, "holiday" means an official (national) day when no work is done, e.g., Labor Day, Memorial Day, Christmas.

Just want to ask ur advice, my grammar is so awful,could u please give me some ways to make my grammar better? Thankyou so much Ps:ignore my grammar plz

No problem.
Improving grammar takes a lot of time and practice.
1. Read good books. If you like a certain author's style of writing, try emulating their sentences. (Write the way they write.) DO NOT PLAGIARIZE! This is only for practice.
2. Go through a really good website like this one: http://www.englishpage.com/verbpage/verbtenseintro.html
Complete all the lessons. (Don't rush. Make sure you learn each concept thoroughly.)
3. Write practice sentences. Keep a journal and use the lessons you learned from #2.
4. Watch Ted Talks videos and listen to the speakers. Pay attention to how sentences flow, their word choice, and pronunciation. Listening to them is infinitely more helpful than watching television and listening to pop songs.
5. Even if it's awkward, speak in proper grammar all the time—even with friends. Even if they're using slang and informal English, avoid doing so while you're trying to improve your grammar.
This should be a good start. If you still need more help, let us know.
Good luck! :-)

"Because they said be with someone who can bring out the best of you." Is this the right grammar?

Not quite. As it stands right now, that is not a complete sentence.
Something like this would be better: "(I did something) because they told me to be with someone who can bring out the best of me": I asked her out because they told me to be with someone who can bring out the best of me.

' i'm in a blissful state' or ' i'm in a blissful state of happiness'???

"Blissful state of happiness" is redundant, since "blissful" already means "extremely happy."
Go with "I'm in a blissful state."

the difference between 'upcoming' and 'incoming'? thank you! :)

"Upcoming" describes an event that's about to happen: I'm scared of the upcoming exam.
"Incoming" describes something that's about to arrive or appear: Jo struggled to reply to all the incoming tweets and messages.

Difference between "you have to" and " you have got to" ?

"You have to" is formal. "You have got to" is informal. They mean the same thing; they both express necessity and obligation:
- You have to be home by midnight. = You have got to be home by midnight.
One of the only exceptions is in the expression "You have got to be kidding me." (We don't say "You have to be kidding me.")

HI! A fan here. So we have a city with a two-word name written without hypnens, and we need to derive an adjective from it: X-based. What would it be, Nizhny-Novgorod-based or Nizhny Novgorod-based?

If the name of the city is Nizhny Novgorod, it would be "Nizhny Novgorod-based," just as we in Los Angeles use "Los Angeles-based" (not "Los-Angeles-based").

What's the difference between "serenity" and "peace" ? Don't they brought the same meaning?

They are very similar in meaning, but "peace" is used in many phrases that "serenity" is not:
- inner peace
- peace on Earth
- let there be peace
And so forth.

Do you use past tense after 'get'? Like 'you will never get bullied'

Yes, but it's considered informal. Replace "get" with "be," "is," "am," "was," or "were."
- I got fired. → I was fired.
- She got sent home. → She was sent home.
- They will get sick. → They will be sick.
And so forth.
