First notebook entry: Introducing myself Hello everyone，My name is Ginger. It's a kind of vegetable. The reason why I use it as my English name is it's have the same meaning as my Chinese surname, Jiang. I like people call my Jiang-jiang or Ginger, I feel it's very close. Sometime I don't know how to chat with the first meet people, my friends say I belong to the crowd who is slow to warm to strangers. I like listening music, although I always don't remember who is the singer. O(∩_∩)O~ I also like doing sports such as playing basketball, swimming. It's help me find my vigour. Now I live in Shanghai China, and work as a hometextile designer. I need to spend long hours at the computer, or go to the factory. Always do the similar things. I feel it is a little boring. So I want to change my life. Now I'm preparing the international Chinese teacher exam, I hope I can teach foreigners mandarin. If it's possible I want to go different countries, teaching and traveling. And I hope to live a different life. My spoken English is poor, maybe the question is the pronunciation. I'm shy of speaking it out, so I have no chances to improve myself. I'm sick of remembering words, there are so many letters in a word. I always spell it wrong. I think it harder to remember the English words than Chinese characters. Here I'll be able to learn the language online, I hope I can find the parters who can help me to improve my English, and I can teach you mandarin. Look forward to making friends with you.
