Walking always seemed so slow and graceless compared to all the gliding, zipping, tumbling, creeping, flying, and porting. ne anlama geliyor?
A:
being transported in some way from one distinct place to another by means of a mechanism or system separate from the person moving autonomously e.g. by walking or driving. You could describe oneself as being "ported" in a car, for example, but it is odd and so has an odd effect on the sentiment of the sentence. This could be used however to give a certain sense of character to the person or thing being 'ported'.

Q:
1. I met a rude and graceless guy at the English centre I attended. One day, he wrested my notebook from my hand and ran away, asking me to beg for its return.
2. I used to live with my strict aunt for 1 month when I first came to Saigon. I was often told off because of my clumsiness.
3. I've set out to learn and acquire ten thousand English words and expressions within 3 months. That means over three thousand words per month or 100 words per day. According to my tracking, that is an unrealistic target, because each day I can add a maximum of 50 words and only learn 20 to 30 words.
4. The most irritating sounds to me are clink and clank. I hate it even more when someone is furious or upset about something while they are doing household chores such as washing up, they do it so forcefully and with carelessness that the pots hit against each other and cause those noises.

A:
1. The grammar is good and it sounds natural, although the words "graceless" and "wrest" are not commonly used. More common options would be "childish" and "yanked"
2. It doesn't sound right to use "used to" with a duration. Instead, either
I lived with my aunt for one month
or
I used to live with my aunt
3. good
4. ... they do it so forcefully and with carelessness that the pots hit against each other ...
you are using forcefully and carelessness in different ways: "forcefully" has the quantifier "so", but "carelessness" doesn't have one. Without the "quantifier" you need a linking word before "that" (sorry, I don't know how else to explain it). So, to be consistent, it should be either
... they do it so forcefully and with such carelessness that the pots hit against each other ...
or
... they do it forcefully and with carelessness so that the pots hit against each other ...
Both of the above work, but I prefer the first choice.
