First notebook entry: Introducing myself

I am a student in China, and I will study abroad in next year. I'm looking forward to you, my friend。 Lei's start our journey now!

 

SDC has made some wonderful comments.

Lets start our journey now - by itself, this comment has very little meaning. What is the journey??? Because it is a language website, we do understand what you mean. But really it makes no sense. Maybe it sounds like you want to fall in love with someone? If you said "lets start language learning together" This would make sense, and have a context. 

You could also say: I am a student in china, and will study abroad next year. I am looking forward to making new friends.

<p>First notebook entry: Introducing myself</p>I am a student in China, and I will study abroad in next year. I'm looking forward to you, my friend。 Lei's start our journey now! "I am a student in China" Basically what you are saying is that you are a student and that you are studying in China so it is all correct. But you should emphasise that you are Chinese or the emphasis will be on the fact that you are studying in china which would suggest that you are an exchange student currently in China. There is nothing grammatically wrong with this line but if your nationality is Chinese then it would be better to say that Ex: "I am a Chinese student" or " I am a student from China". The sign [ , ] has two main uses in English - and most Western languages - which is either to symbolise a short pause in the text ( when reading longer sentences it helps the reader not to lose him self in the text and if reading out loud it can also indicate places to make shorter pauses for breathing). The second use is when you for example are reading things off a list that includes more than two things. You do not however use the sign before the word "and" which almost always is placed before the last item on the list. Ex: on today's shopping list I have cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes, pasta and apples. If the list would only have two things you don't use the sign but instead just use the "and". Ex: yesterday I bought butter and bread. "I'm looking forward to you, my friend。 Lei's start our journey now! " I am/I'm looking forward to 'meeting' you, my friend Again there is nothing grammatically wrong with this sentence but it does sound like you have translating it from Chinese word for word. It works but it sounds very romantic and dreamy. King of like you are writing a poem. - in fact if you was to change the words "my friend" to "my love" it would be a perfect love poem. If you want it to sound more normal you could just say "I am looking forward to meeting you" or "I am
