What’s your opinion on ‘marriage of convenience’?

That’s to say, only nominal marriage to abate pressure from families and friends who think you should get married...  or so (because some people in my country get married most because of their jealousy of other couples or pressures from outside ). It gets more and more popular in my country. If you didn’t find your Mr/Mrs Right or other reasons, would you like to try it?

a really tough day When I got up this morning, it's raining outside and I didn't want to go to library today. But I've already made an appointment with my friend to study together. So I forced myself outside and started to read a book named "mostly harmless econometrics". Really a boring book to me. I thought there would be numerous experiments inside, but for the whole over 250pages, only talked about difference to differences... indeed boring. I should take the book about data analysis in python, that way I can stand this whole boring afternoon

Will men in your country refuse admitting they're wrong and find excuses immediately

As I know, most of my male friends and classmates would refuse to admit immediately we point out they're wrong.

They're overconfident, and pretend they know everything, and others are always ignorant. But I think even people with a lower working ability than them, they still can learn a lot from others. Sometimes they would directly take their behavior as right even though it's totally rude.

For example, lamps in our dorm will go out at 11pm automatically (that means no electricity in dorms after 11pm), thus most people would go to sleep at 11pm. Bob and Alice made an appointment at 11pm and Alice would give some documentary to Bob for the next day class. Bob didn't show up until 12pm, and Alice is so mad and asked why he's so late. He just answered "I'm just a bit late, that's not a big deal." He even didn't notice he was wrong, or just refused to admit he's wrong. 

There are countless stories to tell. How about you, men in your country will also act as this?

Another better story, I asked my friend to open the computer in the lab before 6pm so I can remote it in my dorm. He made his promise but didn't come back to lab that night because he went to play majiang with other classmates. I didn't ask him cause it's not such an emergency. But he apologized to me and self-examined that he should learn to say no when he didn't want to play majiang, and he should be responsible to what he had promised. That's the most sincere attitude I've ever seen. 

Hello World Long time no use italki. Today will be a new day for me. After crying for several times, finally, I got through the hardest time of my life, filled with failure, disappointment and frustration. The professor rescheduled our meeting today, thus I'll need to continue dealing with my dissertation, as well to practice the presentation. Hope next year, I could successfully get the offer from the desired university.

Prefer an English language partner who want to learn Mandarin (also open to those )

Glad to see you click into this post, since you might be interested in this exchange.

Recently I has two quite terrible interviews, and notice how awful my speaking is. 

Thus I want to find some language partners who are native English speaker, and want to learn Mandarin.

Or if you are an intermediate English learner, I'm also open to practice with you. (Especially if you are from India or have an Indian accent.)

Prefer at least once per week (last 1 hour), for me, I'm available everyday.

If you are interested in me, leave me message or PM me your contact info. Prefer voice talk, wechat, skype or other tools all okay for me.
