The movie was about a man who played the piano and he tell told other peoples that he can’t couldn’t see anything – and one day, he wanted to invite a man  to his home and to play the piano for his wife because the day is there marriage day it was their wedding anniversary. But when he came here arrived, he can see anything but he tells other peoples his eyes was broken actually he can see just fine, but he tells everyone else that he’s blind – and he came to the man’s home – he saw there is a people died that someone had died in the home and the man’s wife think thought he can’t couldn’t see anything – the story from here start with this – this is how the story begins.

He‘s lied – he want to do this that make he can have a good feeling he does this to make himself feel good – for example everyday he would practice with an eye mask ears – he praticed it everyday – he take the eye mask – and sometimes there will – good thing for him this would sometimes bring him good fortune– for example he played the piano in the pubs or restaurants – and when he does this blind he usually can get more tips and any other reasons – he act [blind].

Usually 99% of the time – you don’t need the word THE – so take it away and make the noun PLURAL.

For me, I will would choose the to be deaf – but for some other major occupations – maybe the choice is different. But for most programmers the speaking – this is not important.

Will vs. Would / Will = 100% certain / Would = Just an imaginary situation, hypothetical, not real, or to describe what someone usually or typically “WOULD DO” and what “would” happen if they did that thing

99% of the time, take away THE and if the word is a verb then add -ING

I didnt think my skill is programming – I don’t think it is the an  important skill because every technology will be depcreciated after some days time/eventually – so I think the most important skill is how can I get/[acquire] a new skill as fast as I can/[as possible] – this is  a big skill that can help me to get all of the things I want to get/[achieve]. So i think my skill is how can i get new skills.
