First notebook entry: Introducing myself

你好！

我叫佳琪。我在澳大利亚国立大学学习汉语。我的家在堪培拉，所以我说英语。我对绘画，拉弹小提琴有兴趣。我要提高改进我的汉语。

再见！

I am working in my office but the thunders is blasting out side,which remainds me that there will be another big rain. Unfortunately, I did not bring the umbrella and rain coat and more nuisance thing is that I rode a bike to get to work this more.

I hope there will not be another big traffic jam in beijing. Just two days ago , many beijingers sufferred a terrible traffic congestion.All the cars and buses got stuck.Roads are not roads,which make Beijing really like a huge parking area.

I hate the traffic jam and hate the feeling that idol my time just in the cabinet to wait for the little move. I alway ask why the issue of congestion in beijing is so serious and why it is so diffucult to tackle.It is so bad that people of china call Beijing which is the capital of China another new name,the capital of traffic jam.

Beijing is such a huge city with 200 million people,even more popolation than some countries in this world. The booming of the popluation directly result in the lack of room for living and transportation,becasue the speed of the city growing will never catch the speed of population growing. 200 million people have 5 million cars running in this city. Too many cars, so few roads and slow development of public construction including bus line and sub way is one of the reasons of congestion. Another reason is that beijing has more reckless drivers than any city of this world. The fast pace of life in this mordern society makes very one's life very stressful.Office workers will be fined,if they arrive late,so they will be very anygry when they we were stuck in the congestion. Sometime fighing and traffic accident will happen very frequently. People even do not have a good understanding of the trafic regulation and a good sense for driveing in polite manner.These will make the traffic problem even more serious. Thirdly, community such as the companies and shcools do not organise the needs of commuting successgully.Parents have to send their children to shcool by car by themslves and office worker have to go to work by themselves. This unorganised needs of transportaion add more unnecessary presure to the traffic jam. If they can be managed very well,by means such as using the school and working bus more extensively or staggering the time of go-to work and get-off work of different business, the traffic jam will have less presure.

All in all,there are many seasons of the problem. So government should face up more of their responsiblilities to make our lives better.

I am excited about learning Chinese.

你们好吗， 我叫要Alex. 我很喜欢中文和中国人。 我很想学中文因应为我觉得中文很重要。我想有很多的中国朋友因应为我想说中文。

我住的格林尼治

我住在伦敦格林尼治（格林）已经五年了。过了近十多年来，住过伦敦好多不同的部分地方，我认为格林是伦敦最棒的地方。我想让大家了解一下格林的特性和它的一些秘密。

伦敦是一个古老的城市，被罗马帝国建成立的，包括格林。这种城市中心一般有蜿蜒的公路和无数大卵石铺的小街。格林虽然离现代《金丝雀码头》的摩天高楼并不远，但是风光迥然不同根本不一样。我们这儿有伦敦最大最美丽的古老公园元之一，在它里面能看到鹿，鸭子，松树，鹦鹉（！），能爬小山享受伦敦天际线，难怪这儿是举行二零一二年奥运会马术场所被选择的。格林有很多博物馆，谁能来一趟伦敦而不去看一下《GMT》时间固定的天文台呢？位于泰晤士河东边，格林在过去时候是英国大帝国主要地方，这儿有了造船的，输入进口和出口货的，甚至准备打仗的！这种工业当然已经没有了，现代的格林是个旅游目的城市，不过，在深夜里过路，你时时能听到它的老鬼子！ ？？？

我这最喜欢去的地方包括爵士乐吧，超市里小吃摊点以及刚被盖的缆车。可惜的是，随着无限加快的全球化，格林独立的小商店越来越多变成了连锁商店。我希望格林尼治不要失去它的魅力，它的唯一性！
