First notebook entry: Introducing myself
I'm Chen Dan,I'm from HuBei province. I'm a college student,I want to make more friends and improve my English skill. I wish that someone can help me.
Always use a space (blank space after a punctuation mark such as a comma, a period, a question mark, a colon (:), a semi-colon (;)
I'm Chen Dan. [use a period/full stop here because that is a sentence]
I'm Chen Dan, from the province of Hubei.
[the comma separates the clause (I'm Chen Dan) from the following phrase (without the subject "I" and the verb "am"]
"... improve my English skills" ["skills" because you want to improve your reading, writing and perhaps your speaking skills]
I hope someone can help me OR I hope someone will help me.
We use "hope" when we know it is possible and we use "wish" when it is not possible:
for example:
- I hope you agree with my corrections (possible)
- I hope you understand my comments (it's possible because your English skills are good, so I expect that you will understand)
- I wish I were 25 yars old again (impossible)
- I wish I could play basketball as well as Yao Ming (impossible - it will never happen)
