Today , I made a chocolate cake ,which I am not sure whether it is Black Forest Gateau. (Cake .) lol. You can see the picture, as below. I love cooking , so (I) will keep on practising more . Last night , I watched a movie about cooking ,called Julie & Julia . If you love cooking and haven't yet watched (never watch) this movie , I recommend that you take (to have) a look .

Is it too long for a (the) first composition ? Maybe I should stop (from) here today . Nice to meet you all ~

Good day !

Nicely written article and interesting to read. I think it is a 'Black Forest Gateau' and looks very tasty so I am sure it won't remain uneaten for long! One point, which seems recurrent among articles I have read recently, is the habit of leaving a gap before commas, full stops and exclamation marks. They should follow immediately after the last character ..ie...... movie, I recommend .... a look. ... composition? ... Maybe it is a mobile phone application that needs reprogramming. Otherwise, enjoyable to read.

First Composition
Good evening ~(This moment is 8:40PM ).

I (I've) signed up to (in) Italki (for) several years ago, but have, to date, not written (I did not write) anything . Sometimes, I don't log for (in every) 3 months or even longer . Recently, when (As these days) I have checked in, I have noticed (and saw) many people (they) update everyday and (,) it has (is) inspired me . So I have determined that, from today on , I will try to write a composition daily .

I am Zixia , from Guangzhou , China and (. I) speak Cantonese , as spoken in (so does) Hongkong and Macau. ( people .)  And  I can also (can) speak Mandarin ,since it's our official language, which (and) we need to learn from (when we are in) primary school . So, if anybody here wants to practise Cantonese or Mandarin , feel free to contact me . I am going to be 23 years old soon (,) and  graduated last year . When I was in university , I started to work as an English tour guide up until (till) March ,2013. It was (It's) an amazing experience for me (,which) and gave me the opportunity (opportunities) to meet people from different countries . I enjoyed talking (to talk) to them and sharing (shared) Chinese culture with them . Later on , I will talk more on this topic .

After the tour guide job , I found a job working (to work) in an (the) office as an assistant to (of) my Australian boss , Mr. C. However , I just stayed in that company for 6 months, before leaving. (then I left .) The reason was because (is) my boss left. (leaving .)  He was (is) a nice guy who (that) shared his life experience with me and taught me how to manage myself well .

Now, I have no work and stay at home usually . The Chinese New Year is coming , so I will look for a job after the New Year . Since I have a lot spare time , I want to learn how to bake. (some baking.) I acquired (got) an oven last year ,but haven't used (I did not use) it so much . Lately, (These days ,) I have tried to make some simple bread ,cookies or cakes . If you have any nice recipes , please share them with me . Thank you !
