I'm a Chinese native speaker who's looking for English or French language exchange

Hi there, 

I'm Claire from Taiwan. I can speak mandarin Chinese, Taiwanese, English, little Cantonese and very very limited French. 

I would like to find some language partners who master in English or French or both (^_^) and wanna learn Chinese.

Let's help each other :) Feel free to message me :) 

大家好，我是Claire，24歲台灣女生。

我會說中文、台語、英文、一點點廣東話跟很爛的法文。

有興趣做語言交換的話請發個訊息給我，謝謝！

What if a random killing happened more and more frequently in our society? Again, a random killing happened in a normal sunny day on March 28th in Taiwan. A 33-year-old guy killed an innocent 3-year-old little girl who was riding on the bike with her mom on their way to pick up other kids. With no reason, the killer didn't know the victim at all. Yes, it's a random killing again. This is the sixth random killing events happened in the last 7 years in Taiwan. What happened to our society? What makes those irrational people do those cruel things without thinking about other people? How can we do to prevent us from suffering this kind of things again? There are too many reasons that leads to our society to educate those monsters. I believe something in our society are out of their function so that more and more horrible tragedies happened much more frequently in recent years. But every time when this kind of things happened, it makes me panic, disappointed and didn't know what to do when seeing most of people start to be angry at the group who against death penalty. That's really frustrating, because the most important is not death penalty at all. In my opinion, we are supposed to focus more on what's the reason that leads to the results instead of finding someone to blame at. It can't solve the problem at all. I didn't mean the killer should be forgiven or something, they are responsible for their behavior. But the problem is if we killed the killer (or the gov't killed the killer), are we gonna be safe anymore? Are there no more random killer at all? Let me tell a story. One day, I left a candy on the ground and I can't find it at all. A week later, there comes lots of ants that ruined my house. Someone told me to kill all the ants that appear in front of my eyes, and they believe that it's the only way to make my house clean and safe. I believe so and start to kill the ants. It works for a little bit. It's gonna be clean for a little bit after I killed the ants but in the end, I realized that I can never kill them all if the candy still left on the ground. So what I want to say is I didn't mind what kind of methods you would like to use to punish those killers, what I really care is what can we do to make our society with less killer. In the end, R.I.P to the little girl. I feel the same sadness on the girl and her family, and I feel afraid as well. And I hope our society could be more peaceful with less hateness between us. But besides our emotion, what else can we do? That's all where we should make more effort at.

【Murmur】The Friendship at Work I'm not sure if someone has the same feeling as me that it's hard to make friends after graduating from school. I mean when you start to work, you are gonna realize the working environment is so different from your old good time in school. The people you meet at work are both friends and foes, that is sometimes they are your good helpers and you gonna work with them, but sometimes they compete with you because you both report to the same boss. So it's kind of hard to get to know each other and share the things that comes from your deep heart. Ha I just murmured because I hope I could be student again, missing those carefree and pure friendship between people.

Something about finding a language partner I've been looking for language partners for so long, but I still can't find one that really match. I think it's so hard because if you want to do a face-to-face language exchange,you need to be quite cautious of who you are going to meet.If you would like to cam or skype, you need to take the time differences between different countries into account. If you only wanna chat online via words,there's still problem that you need to wait until he or she replies,and you are not sure how long it will take. I'm really curious about how you guys start a lasting exchange on italki, and how to make it more efficient. p.s. Do you have the same question as me? If so,you can not only correct my article but share your ideas with me.

a horrible tragedy in Taiwan 05/21 This week was really a nightmare to all people in Taiwan. First of all,it has rained for almost the whole week.The road in my school campus even formed a small river ,and it was hard for most students riding bikes at school as usual. Moreover,there was an earthquake this morning.Though it is common in Taiwan,we still don't welcome it at all. And there was one more thing that scared,horrified most people today.A young man, at the age of 21,killed 4 innocent people and hurt more than 10 people with a knife in the MRT (or metro).That was totally a tragedy!I can't imagine how could this happen...and what's worse,the young man didn't drink or something,he did this on purpose... Omg..hope everyone pray for Taiwan...we need a more peaceful and positive power at the very moment....(sigh)
