Dear Bill: I think your Chinese is good,but there still be some little problems in your phrasing,for example,"我昨天上网买很多礼物了",should be rectifed"我昨天上网买了很多礼物","你们同意我吗?"changed"你们同意我的观点吗"and "我觉得很好主意"changed"我觉得这是个很好的主意"

Hi,Bill. "我觉得很好主意。" is not so natural to speak for a native Chinese, I suggest that "我觉得这主意很好。" would be better.

上午好! 在Menlo Park, CA, USA 现在是十点半。因为圣诞接快要到了,我昨天上网买很多礼物了。你们上网买礼物吗?我觉得很好主意。你们同意我吗?

再见,
