First notebook entry: Restart from here

My dearest Ran,

You are often dissatisfied with your English, and to make matter worse, your confidence on English seems had been destroyed by the countless annoying English tests. And it seems that you almost already had given up your English study: You do not study new words everyday. How long has it been since you reading in English?

You are not happy with your English progess and to make matters worse, your confidence in English has been destroyed by taking countless English tests.   Now, it seems that you have given up on your English study as you no longer study new words everyday.   How long has it been since you read something in English?

What a pity, if you ask me.
You're wasting the gift that you're given at your birth, Ran my dear. How do I know that for sure? Hmm, I don't, I just believe. I believe that from deep inside my heart.
This is a pity.  You're wasting the gift given you at birht, Ran, my dear.  How do I know this for sure?  Hmm, I don't but I just have this gut feeling that this is true.

I think you also can feel that you have talent in language, right?
I mean, you're so sensitive with language. When you hear the voice from some native speakers, you always alomst have an irresistable desire to imitate it and to repeat it, again and again.
You found that your can pronounce it well without much efforts. This unconscious impulses that you're not able to escape, I think, that's your gift.:)

I think you know yourself that you have a talent to learn languages, right?  You ability is quite obvious. When you hear a foreigner speak, you almost always have a desire to imitate them, again and again.  You discovered that you can imitate their accents without too much effort.  This is a natural, innate ability.
My dearest Ran, it's quite normal to feel depressed or frustrated when you trying to learn a new knowledge. You're a girl with an inquiring mind and a pure heart, I cherish you more than anything else in the entire world. As your English study, I also want to say, the choice is all yours, but I think you won't be a quitter,right? :D So what you're going to do is to make a new study plan and to execute it as it says.~~~~

My dearest Ran, it's quite normal to feel depressed or frustrated when trying to learn a new language.  You're a girl with an inquiring mind and pure heart and I cherish you more than anything else in the world.  As for your English study,  the choice is all yours and I encourage you, "Don't quit!"   So what you should do it to make a new study plan and to execute it.
Just bear one more thing in mind, don't hurry, be patient, my dear Ran, you can't grasp everything in a short time. I saw a sentence last night, and I thought the author wrote it just for you!

One more thing. Be patient and and don't expect miracles in a short time.  I saw something last night and I thought the author wrote it just for you.
" Live, then, and be? Happy, beloved children of my heart, and never forget, that until the day when God will deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is contained in these two words——"wait" and "hope".



love always and forever,
Yours, Ran

P.S Have been long time writing to you in Chinese,it's my very first time to write to you in English, and it feels not bad:D


A Question : what's the difference between don't hurry and don't be in a hurry ?
