You're kidding!

Should be "if there anything needs improvement" or "if there is anything in need of improvement".

By the way, the native English speakers (who actually *should* extend helping hands to us in improving our English) prefer to leave it as it is. Maybe they think it is not very polite to correct mistakes of others :) Or maybe just tired of doing it before.
