First notebook entry: Introducing myself   My Self-introduction 

My name is William and I come from Xi'an(,) in Shaanxi province, China. So far, English is the most widely used language in the world, so I can get more information about the world if my English is (could be) better. I wish to make friends and improve my English skills here, especially in speaking English. I am looking for a language partner willing to help me. In exchange, I am very happy to help my friends practice Chinese, and even the Shaanxi dialect if they want. I am also pleased to introduce my hometown and other information about Xi'an to everyone, which was called Chang-an(Chang'an) ----(-：英语中的破折号只一道即可） a great city name in world history.

I have many hobbies such as seeking mysterious events, Chinese astrology, playing basketball and so on. But the fascinating thing that I most concerned(But what I believe to be fascinating and concern most) is Traditional Chinese Medical(Medicine). Acupuncture, herb medicine, chi kung and so on, which are known as alternative methods by modern medicine, are amazing and can bear fruit to even bad diseases (bear fruit in curing even serious diseases, EVEN可用来修饰形容词的原级和比较级，但个人感觉如果可以用bad来修饰diseases的话，用比较级更好，更能加强语气和比较的强度。但bad稍怪，并且bad disease在英语俚语里是“梅毒”的意思，换serious .除非你是特指这个病。。). So, if you want to hear something about it - although my major in school was physics, seemingly bizarre but did exists(did exist,did在这里表示强调，后面的动词用原形)- at least I believe that, please make (be) friends with me. Besides, I want to know something interesting about your story that I never heard about also.

I hope we can help each other and make progress reciprocally(mutually).

I have many hobbies, such as seeking mysterious events, Chinese astrology, playing basketball and so on. But the fascinating thing that I'm most concerned interested in ("concerned about" works. You would be understood, but it's not the best word to use.) is Traditional Chinese Medical Medicine. Acupuncture, herb medicine, chi kung and so on, which are known as alternative methods by modern medicine, are amazing and can bear fruit (I suppose you could say "bear fruit," but you'd have to be talking about the cure bearing fruit or something, for it not to sound odd. Again, you'd be totally understood saying this.) cure the to even bad the worst diseases. So, if you want to hear something ---- although my major in school was physics ---- seemingly bizarre but did does exists, at least I believe that, please make (You could also say "become friends with me" or "befriend me.") friends with me. Besides, I want to know something interesting about your story that I never heard about also.

I hope we can help each other and make mutual progress reciprocally. (Reciprocally works here, but it sounds sort of funny and isn't usually used to mean mutually.)
