My first entry in italki Hello everyone! This is my first time writting here. I've studied English for many years, talked with native and non-native speakers, but haven't yet got the chance to visit any English-speaking country yet. Right now English is my working language, since the majority of my research materials are written in English, and I hope one day I could publish my English article in a journal. Grammatically I don't have many problems, and the things I'm most occupid with are accuracy and variety. Professional writing is different from everyday chat in that it has to be formal and precise and "educated", and this is what I am striving for, and the reason for me to practice. I appreciate any contributive idea that could help me nearer my goal (an essay in a journal), and I also would like to share my experiences in China.
