Differences between UC Berkeley and Stanford

“I am older than you.” Is this sentence polite?——question when reading Alice in wonderland Hello everyone! I wonder whether we could say “I am older than you” or “I am two years older than you” to others. If not, could you tell me why? And what is the polite way to tell the differences in our ages. Is there a custom that we shouldn’t talk about these things? Today I read the book ‘Alice in wonderland’. There’s a sentence in the book. When little Alice and the Lory was arguing, the Lory said “I am older than you, and must know better.” And the notes says the word ‘old’ is not polite if it is said by an adult. But I am a little confused. Could you help me, please? Please forgive me if I have said something wrong and offended you. Have a good day!

Starting My Graduation Project at Home During Almost every vacation, I carried my clumsy laptop and books home from my university. However, during this winter vacation I left my laptop in school in school as this vacation was so short and we Chinese would celebrate the Spring Festival, which is the largest festival of Chinese. Unfortunately, COVID-19 broke up, which lead to my staying home. This week, the new semester started online in my university. As a senior student, I was supposed to start my graduation project home. How sad I was when I realized that my poor laptop was still at my dormitory, lonely and far away from me, carrying all my familiar tools and materials. Nevertheless, I got to realize that maybe it is a opportunity for me to practice my skills again. I will glean the useful materials and try to start my project soon. Wish all will get better soon.

What does ‘hehe’ mean in English? Is it a friendly word? Hi everybody! Is there a word called ‘hehe’ in English? I want to know the meaning of ‘hehe’. Is it the same as ‘haha’? Is it a friendly way to show that I find something is interesting? In recent years, hehe（呵呵） doesn’t show that someone is happy under some circumstances in China. So I am afraid that hehe also has some bad meaning in English.

A class pre(a self introduction including hometown, high school, hobbies and English level) Could you please help me to correct my self introduction? Thanks Good morning, everyone! I am Alice, a senior student, majoring in engineering. I am glad to be here and introduce myself to you.   My hometown is China. Since 2013, I spent 3 years in senior high school. Now, I miss the campus so much. Here, I mainly studied Math, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Languages. Specially, I love physics most. Actually I attended a creative English competition in 2015. And I got to realize that my spoken English is poor.   Then I’d like to share with you my hobbies. I am interested in both Chinese traditional culture and ancient Greek mythologies. And I like music, though I am not good at it. My favorite English song is scarborough fair. In 2013, I made my first contact with guitar by chance. And then I fell in love with it. Fortunately I came here, and learnt to play the guitar further here.   Though I am not skilled at cooking, I love eating delicious food, so… So I put on a lot of weight in the past few years….   The fourth part is my English level. I plan to study in the US for my master degree. However, lack of vocabularies and professional English lead to my poor English, especially in listening and speaking.   So, I came here to improve my English, to gain knknowledge about microbiology and to adapt to all English lessons. And I am looking forward to share a good time with you.   That’s all. Thank you.
