Hi, my dear friends! You all write many emotional blogs and comments here and often use these words, but you often use them incorrectly. So, I will give you some simple explanations so that you will not make such mistakes in the future.
SO is used before an adjective or an adverb:
The day is so nice! (an adjective).
He was listening to me so attentively! (an adverb).
SUCH is used before a noun or an adjective(s) + a noun. If a noun is singular and countable, there must be the article "a" before it. If a noun is plural or uncountable, there should be no artilce.
It was such a nice day!
You shouldn't swim in such cold water.
They are such kind people!
As usual, there is an exception. If a noun is preceded by the words MANY/MUCH, FEW/LITTLE, we should use SO before that noun phrase.
There were so many people at the meeting there was nowhere to sit.
There was so much rain this last summer!
We have got so little gas we won't be able to pull to the gas station.
And now, I will ask you to write your very short emotional stories (or some sentences) using SO and SUCH correctly.
Have a great weekend!

Thank you so much.
Anyway if you give a writing challange with linking words, I think it would be good for us.
Dear Tanya! So nice of you! Thank you so very much for the corrections. I highly appreciated it.
Hi, my friends!
Dear Serene! Here is your corrected story. You can surely ask your questions.
Tom was the only one child of his parents. For long, he had been asking for a chic party. At last, his parents yield to his persuasion. He was so excited and full of hope because there would be a chic party in his house the next day. All his relatives came to the party and gave him such__ great pleasure. Flex told his parents 'Thank you so very much for arranging such a memorable evening”. But, in the morning his dream was interrupted by the sound of screaming and crying. His father got in the car accident while returning from the market. It was such a sad moment, there was no one left lovingly to call him “Tom”. He had never thought his anticipated pleasures would be shattered by such a terrible accident. His mind got filled with such __deep soreness that he wanted to die.
Thanks Danny/Tanya for the necessary corrections.
Dear Afro! A drawing room is not common at all. In America we say "a living room", in Canada they say 'a stting room" and British mostly say "a sitting room" as far as I know.
Well, your blackberries are really different. I have never tried them. Your sentence:
it also varies due to different varieties
Dear Srene! Tanya will correct your story some later as I have to go to work very soon.
Hi, Dany!
Then is not drawing room a common thing over there? A separate room where a Tv, sofa, flowers vases are and where gusts usually take seats?
Well, about black berries of our part, ( I will try to draw later because now they are not available in the market, it is a summer fruit, now it is rainy season here.). Yes, they are mostly medium but some varieties are more bigger then usual. Usually they are sweet...though it also vary ( is it varys?) due to different varieties! But mostly sweet and a bit sour. We sometimes like to have them with a pinch of salt. Here is a link, please see.

Dear Mishaikh! Thans for participating. Here is your story with my corrections in bold. I underlined one sentence as I had to change it a little. Sure, you can ask any questions about my corrections.
She is so beautiful, and when she dances so beautifully, the time seems to stop. It was such a nice day, when she came to the city with __ such a nice show of hers. When I came to the show, there were so many people at the theatre. But everyone was so peacefully waiting in the queue to get a ticket_. ___The people were so much interested to see her dance that they didn’t mind standing in the rain. I assumed everyone had got a ticket__, only a few were left so much dejected.
