Second part

My last class in the morning was 'Topic Conversation'. Today's Topic in this class is 'movies'. I talked with the teacher Heidi about Chinese movies, especially the 'Lost in Thailand' which has grossed more than US$200 million at the Chinese box-office. In this class I learned/learnt an awesome phrase ''two thumbs up'. (no 'two' in this phrase!)

After lunch, I had my fifth class called 'ship or sheep'. It's a pronunciation class. I learned two tongue twisters. The first is 'She sells sea shells at by the sea shore'. The second is 'Betty bought a bit of better butter but she said, "This butter is bitter." So, she put a bit of better butter to make the bitter butter better.'

My sixth class today was 'Topic News'. First I did a there was dictation with about an item of news. Next we talked about this news. My news item for in today was 'chocolate for health'. It is a very interesting article. It says that eating chocolate is useful for human health. (this mixes past and present tenses because you are quoting in the past from an article - it is a difficult point of grammar I think)

The First Day I Began My Classes/My first day of English Classes

(This is too long to review in one go since it will exceed 2000 characters- I'll break it in half)

Today is Tuesday, it's really the first day of I really began my classes for me. Every day I have eight classes, and in every each class I have the a different teacher. Every class is fifty minutes, then so between classes I can have a ten minute break.

Today some teachers suggested me to I should speak slower today (put today at the beginning so it relates to teachers suggested and not to speak slower). They think/feel (still think, not past tense) I me speak English too fast. I think it is because we speak Chinese fast (some do, some don't), and  the teachers often corrected my pronunciation in much time.

My first class today was 'Talk Talk Talk'. It's all about talk. Talk about myself, my job, my purpose of in studying English, the reason I chose this school.

My second class today was a group class called 'Steve's Class'. In this class I have a Japanese classmate called Bridge; In this class together we shared our childhood habits when we were children. And I learned that Japanese people call the thumb as 'father finger', the pointer/index finger as 'mother finger', the middle finger as 'brother finger', the ring finger is 'sister finger' and the little finger as 'child finger'. I introduced replied that in Chinese we call the thumb as 'big finger', the pointer finger as 'eat finger', the middle finger as 'middle finger', the ring finger as 'nameless finger', and the little finger as 'little finger'. At end we practised a sentence pattern 'I used to ...'. My example was 'I used to watch TV every day, but nowadays I instead of surfing at on Internet instead nowadays'.

My third class today was 'Callan 2012'. In this class, the teacher says the a sentence quickly, and you need to repeat it or answer to your teacher also quickly - not thinking, just repeating or answering quickly.
