I am upset and discouraged I am a little upset and discouraged this morning. I like learning English and I also like helping others. It will be great to make progress together. So I correct other's short essay in English or Chinese everyday. In that way we can both make progress. So there is no exception in this morning. But I am a little discouraged. I correct someone's essay, I don't get thanks but a thumb down. I don't want to be sensitive, but it is truely discouraging. If I correct it wrong or make mistakes, you can tell me or we can discuss. I don't think it is polite to give a thumb down for others who just want to be helpful. Anyway, I hope I can be excellent in English for the new year. And then I can do a better job on correcting essays.

It is my first time receive a thumb down for helping others. Sigh........

I need to do my study now. Goodbye.

Have a nice day ! Everyone !

I am upset and discouraged

I am a little upset and discouraged this morning. I like learning English and I also like helping others. It would be great to make progress together. So I correct other people's short essays in English or Chinese every day. In that way, we can both make progress. This morning was no exception. So there is no exception in this morning. But I am a little discouraged. I corrected someone's essay, and instead of a "thanks" I got a "thumb down". I don't want to be sensitive, but it is truly discouraging. If I correct it wrong or make mistakes, you can tell me or we can discuss it. I don't think it is polite to give a thumb down to people who just want to be helpful. Anyway, I hope I can be excellent in English for the new year.Then I will be able to do a better job on correcting essays.

It is my first time receiving (better: it is the first time I have received) a thumbs down for helping others. Sigh........

I need to do my study now. Goodbye.

Have a nice day, everyone !

I'm sorry to hear that, Iris! I agree with you, this is a community in which we need to work together to help one another. By correcting other people's work, you are helping them learn. You deserve to be thanked! Don't get discouraged because someone didn't like what you had to say. If they do not accept your input, they are the one missing out on precious knowledge! Your English is clearly very good. Everything made sense, just a couple things sounded awkward. You'll be speaking like a native in no time! Until then, keep helping others, and thank you on behalf of the community!

I Am Upset and Discouraged

I'm feeling a little upset and discouraged this morning. I like learning English and I also like helping others. It would be great to make progress together. So I correct other's short essay in English or Chinese every_day. That way we can both make progress. So it was no exception this morning, but I am a little discouraged. I corrected someone's essay, however, I didn't get a thanks but a thumbs down. I don't want to be oversensitive, but it is truly discouraging. If I corrected it wrong or made mistakes, you can tell me about it or we can have a discussion on the matter. I don't think it is polite to give a thumbs down to others who just want to be helpful. Anyway, I hope I can excell in English this New Year. Then I'll be able to do a better job on correcting essays.

It is the first time I receive a thumbs down for helping others. Sigh........

I need to start to study now. Goodbye.

Have a nice day ! Everyone !  :)
