I learn to use LaTeX for a couple of weeks, and i usually directly write contents in the Office Word processor and then copy them into the TeX Live processor. Is there anyone directly write a paper in TeX Live processor ? or do the same as what i did? (I hope you can understand my question because of my poor english.)

Welcome to TeX SX! I'm not sure I understand well. Do you mean you convert your Word document to LaTeX with some software, or you you simply copy-paste it as text in a .tex file? – Bernard May 19 '16 at 11:23

What's the advantage w.r.t. directly typing in a dedicated editor? – Bernard May 19 '16 at 11:37

1It's only in English (sorry!) but I recommend you familiarize yourself with the topics I discuss here. It will help you learn the terminology :) – Sean Allred May 19 '16 at 12:41

We use an "editor", which supports LaTeX, to write a text. Common editors are listed here: LaTeX Editors/IDEs and in wikipedia, here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_TeX_editors .
