First notebook entry: Introducing myself I want to find a foreign friend from an English - speaking country to improve my oral and listening English. I hope the friend will be a girl interested in Chinese ,so we can exchange language . Not only I learn English from you,but also you learn Mandarin from me. The reason I want to make friends with a girl is that I used to have a male foreign friend , I really thought we got along well until he someday said something inproper ,and then it became odd between us . I want to avoid such an awkward situation.
