write an short article everyday
Italki is a very great website. I have made some new friends here. One of my language parter's name is Arthur Vee(maybe a Spanish name). Arthur Vee is a college student who is studying in a famous university in USA. He got the whole scholarship and I think he must get great performance records. He is very clever and hard.He gets up almost at 5 o'clock am everyday. He told me he only sleeps for 4 hours everyday because he consider that more sleeping is wasting time. After that I give him a suggestion that he need more sleeping for health.I am glad to know that he take my suggestion and he goes to bed at 9 pm now. We usually have a video on Skype and I feel it's interesting. I teach him pinyin(I have got the certificate of teaching foreigners Chinese but still no experience of teaching, Arthru is the first person of my student)and he teach me spoken English. Arthur is interested in the history of China very much.and I am happy to introduce the history to him of my country.China has a long history.Once I found there are so much knowledge what I need to learn by myseld when I was introducing the history of Qing Dynasty to him. Then I made a decisiong to do fully preparations before having a video,otherwise it will effect on me badly to tell stories when I meet so many new words.

There is an interesting appearence by different culture
Yesterday,I found a language parter on italki and left a message to her. Then she told me she was 4 hours behind me.I thought that is when she was 8:00am and my time should be 4:00am.But it was unbelieveable to me the answer is wrong!!!The right answer to the question that should be when she is 8:00am and my time should be 12:00am!!! I thought the whole night and asked someone from Mexico,Australia,Russia and China. Both sides hold different opinions. In the end,I found the reason!!!The first way of understanding,12:00am is behind the time of 8:00am, the other way of understanding is when A is 8:00am and B is 12:00am,then B have passed 4 hours more than A,so A is behind B because of A have 4 hours to spend! Is that because of the difference of culture?

small composition
This is my first time to write an article and report it on the italki. I like English and I hope I could make a big progress through writing,listening and speaking. I have found several friends through the web. I like them,they are all enthusiastic and friendly. I love to communicate with them. They also be interested in Chinese. I speak Mandarin very standard，I would love to teach them speaking in Chinese.
