refining expression / talking about wedding dress rentals

I am a designer for exhibitions or museums and now I have my own studio for rent wedding dresses. The studio is my best friend and I do it because we meet each other 11 years so the studio’s name is 11.
But now just beginning 1 year. I chose this work because firstly it needn’t some staff so we needn’t pay for everyone and in Shanghai rent wedding dress is too expensive. We think we can do this business maybe we can be rich but now no. I have more passions in the beginning of my first job because I learned painting when I was a child but every Chinese parent will think painting is very difficult for find a job so I chose be a designer in my university but I’m very disappointed about it because when I be a designer in a company I find designer in China is a very terrible job. I should work more than 14 hours a day and I must do some different designs for one project and finally the designer never will be used. Because my design is for government. You must do some different designs for it and just like show it but finally leader decides.I am very disappointed about it and I lost my passion.
My English is too poor. Actually 3 years ago I apply London University for art and my painting and design score is very high and I received the interview from the London university but my English is died the professor tell me they hope I can improve my English to know the class if I can’t know the class ….
I still very like it but now I am 21 and I still think about it. Actually I really like English but when I talk English with other guys I will too nervous and my mind is empty.
