#1. I am in London. #2. I am at London in U.K. Are these correct?
 If I am not mistaken, If there are two place in a sentence, That time we use "in" before big place & "at" before the small place.
e.g I live at Paris in France.
When should we use "at" And "in" before place? Thanks
 I think you should use "in" in both of your example. I am in London in the UK. (you don't need the dots after U and K)
You can also say "I am in the UK, in London." Stating the country first and then the city sounds better in my opinion.
"I live at ...
 You live, or are, in a town and in a country.
You live, or are, at an address or location.
I live at 123 Some Street, Anytown.
I am at the grocery store in Anytown.

Hi Is this expression meaningful? As horribly as it sounds the kidnapper held the child at the gun point and demanded a huge sum from the father.
 Thank you CJ.
Please tell me how to interpret it
 Even though it sounds horrible, [this is what happened].
You may find it horrible, but ... [this is what happened].
horrible = horrifying, upsetting, disconcerting

 Thank you very much, CJ.
I understood it.

Hi Please help me with the meaning of the highlighted portion.. Gosh: a mild expression of surprise or enthusiasm as to be put in place of 'God', particularly in fear of saying Lord's name in vain.
 The highlighted refers to not wanting to swear, curse, using God's name.
 I understood. Thank you, Philip.

1. Tell me who she is. 2. Tell me who is she. Q) I've absolutely sure about the order like "who she is" that comes after some sentence like #1 because I've learned and always heard sentences like #1. But I've recently heard from some native ...

Not quite. It's whether the speaker chooses to construct the question in the form of what we call a direct or indirect question. In neither case is the speaker 'indirectly' asking. ...
 Ok. Thank you for correcting that part.
Then the difference between #1 and #2 can occur in intonation too, right?
Is the intended intonation like the below?
1. Tell me who she IS.
2. Tell me who is she.

0. Who is she?
1. Tell me who she is.
2. Tell me who is she.
Here is how I've seen these labeled:
0. Direct question (construction).
1. Indirect question (construction).
2. Semi-indirect question (construction).
Native speakers use 0 and 1 regularly, ...

"Could" is the past form of "can". but actually, "could" is usually used not for past but present conditional more often. Can I still use COULD for past simple tense? for example: I could successfully past the exam yesterday. Some Japanese insist that ...

That's right. could is not used to express a successful act in the past.
However, with a negative, could can be used to express a failure in the past.
