This is grammatically incorrect. When used with an object, the term "speak" must be directly followed by "to". This sentence should read "I need to speak to you about an important matter".
This is a correct use of the term "to tell". To "tell" shares a similar meaning with "to inform (someone of a fact)". Examples: "I told my family the good news", "Don't tell me you like broccoli?!". Additionally, to "tell somebody to do something" is to "instruct" them to do it. Note that this verb is irregular: tell/told/told.
This is a correct use of the verb "to say". This is the format used in literature to record direct speech. This could also be written "shouted Emily", "cried Emily", "exclaimed Emily" etc. However, it is not possible to use the term "spoke", "talked", or "told" in a construction such as this.
This is a correct use of the verb "to speak". Among other things, we use the verb "to speak" when we want to express that we do or do not speak a foreign language. Examples: "I spoke good German when I was younger, but now I have forgotten most of it", "I was speaking to my mother when someone knocked on the door". Note that this verb is irregular: speak/spoke/spoken.
This is grammatically incorrect. The term "tell" cannot be followed by "to". Rather, it is followed directly by the object of the sentence. This sentence could therefore read "I'm telling my father about the party last night".
This is grammatically incorrect. We cannot "say something someone". Although we can "say something to someone", a more natural construction here would be "He told me that he'd love me forever...". The verb "to say" must be followed by "to" when it carries an object: "I remember saying to him that his eating habits were unhealthy".

1 dark: This is the correct term. Brian sings about "long dark hair". A "dark" colour is one which is closer to black than white. "Dark" hair is usually black or brown. Blonde or white hair is "light" hair.
2 hair: This is the correct term. Brian sings about "long dark hair". "Hair" is what most people have on their head and body. Monkeys and other mammals also have a lot of hair.
3 tell: This is the correct term. Brian sings "I want to tell you all my secrets". To "tell (someone something)" is to inform them of something. Note that the verb "to tell" is not followed by the preposition "to".
4 share: This is the correct term. Brian sings about some secrets "I just can't share". In this context, the verb "to share" means "to relate" or "to communicate", for example: I'd like to share this idea with you.
5 earth: This is the correct term. Brian sings about "an angel who came to earth". The "earth" is synonymous with the world or the planet (we live on). An "angel who came to earth" is one who has come from heaven to the world.
6 heaven: This is the correct term. Brian sings about "heaven". "Heaven" is a place of happiness, peace and bliss. In Christianity, "Heaven" is the home of God and the angels.
7 beak: This is the correct term. Brian sings about "an eagle's beak". A "beak" is the mouth-like part of a bird's face. The beak is used for eating, killing prey, feeding young, etc. The "beak" can also be used to refer to a human nose, especially when the nose is long or shaped like a beak.
8 although: This is the correct term. "Although" shares the same meaning as "even though", "regardless of (the fact that)" or "in spite of (the fact that)", and is usually found at the beginning of clauses. "Although" is used to make a link between two things, and often introduces a contrasting idea or expresses a possible doubt. Example: Although he looked sad, he still smiled and played with the children.

Let's help Edward complete his first few messages using Spitter!
@EdwardMoon writes: Hello Mum! It's me, Edward. I'm using "Spitter"! Philip helped me an account. I only have 140 characters per mess-
@EdwardMoon writes: Sorry! I went the limit, so I couldn't finish my msg. What I meant to say was that I think this technology is great for the world
@PhilipCheeter writes: Yo @EdwardMoon! No one on the Internet wants to hear you . Go get me a coffee!

Let's help Edward complete his first few messages using Spitter!
@EdwardMoon writes: Hello Mum! It's me, Edward. I'm using "Spitter"! Philip helped me set up 1 an account. I only have 140 characters per mess-
@EdwardMoon writes: Sorry! I went over 2 the limit, so I couldn't finish my msg. What I meant to say was that I think this technology is great for telling 3 the world
@PhilipCheeter writes: Yo @EdwardMoon! No one on the Internet wants to hear you ramble 4. Go get me a coffee!

1 set up: This is correct. In this context, to "set up" means to "establish" or "open". In this scene, Edward asks Philip to help him "set up an account".
1 do: "Do" can't be used to describe "setting up" or "opening up" an account. Although "do" is a versatile and common verb, it can't be used in this context.
1 find: Using the verb "to find" does not make sense in this context. "To find (a job, a lost item)" can't be used to describe opening or establishing an account.
2 over: This is correct. "To be over the (speed) limit" is to surpass it, or go beyond what is acceptable, advisable, etc. Services such as "Twitter" (the inspiration for "Spitter") impose a limit on the number of characters which can be used in each "tweet" or "status update".
2 on: This is incorrect. "On the limit" doesn't make sense in this context.
2 surpassed: This is grammatically incorrect. Although you can "surpass the (speed) limit", you cannot "go surpassed" a limit!
3 telling: To "tell" shares a similar meaning with "to inform (someone of a fact)". Example: "I told my family the good news".
3 saying: This is grammatically incorrect. We cannot "say something someone". Although we can "say something TO someone"!
3 speaking: This is grammatically incorrect. We cannot "speak someone", although we can "speak TO someone".
4 ramble: This is correct. I know it's a tough word, but it's a good one! To "ramble" means to talk pointlessly, at length or without purpose. For example: 'He rambled on for hours about his love of dolphins; he wouldn't stop talking about them! In this message, Philip is reprimanding Edward for typing without purpose.
4 rumble: This is incorrect. "To rumble" is to make or emit a sound, such the one your stomach makes when you are hungry, a car motor, an earthquake, thunder, etc. This term is a nice one, but doesn't belong in this sentence!
4 ruble: This is incorrect. A "ruble" is the monetary unit of Russia and Tajikistan. Do you know what the difference is between a ruble and a dollar? A dollar.
