    Let`s talk about this evening!

    Hello guys! How are you?

    I have <s>postponed working</s> to write about a plan for this evening.
    I am taking a break from my work to ....(sounds more natural )
    Obviously all of us <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">to</s> adore <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">a</s> summertime. We enjoy the sun shining and breathing fresh air after it rains. Every moment includes <s>felisity</s>, harmony ,affection and new dreams. Ladies dress up and go for a walk. You know?))

    So..about my plan. First of all we are having <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">a</s> dinner in the one of the popular restaurants "White Rabbit". 3 days ago it was awarded and included in the best 50 restarants in the World. I am so <s>exciting</s>! excited.I <s>was eating</s> ate there once before when one of my friend came to Moscow. There is a special atmosphere with an amasing = amazing view and delicious cuisine. If you come to Moscow you <s>must have to try eating there. s</s>hould definitely check it out.(sounds more natural )

    After dinner we are going to an observation deck for enjoying with a night view. Moscow City is absolutely brilliant!

    Let me know about your plan!)

    Your plan sounds awesome!

    今天在办公室 我的一个同事告诉我们,因为气温很高,所以他的小孩睡得很不好

    我觉得这几天大部分人睡得不太好,小孩也好成人也好. This “也好。。。也好。。。structure is very common when you are you trying to express “No matter if it’s A or B” ,and often goes at the beginning of the sentence but your way is OK also but probably should go at the beginning of the sentence .

    在<s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">很. </s>这么热的天气中【in such hot weather】一直很难睡着,<s>而不管是小孩或成人</s>。

    我刚才<s>做不好动</s>,不小心地动了一下 ...I just now made a “careless move”...。结果 as a result 现在我的背有点痛,所以写完文章后,我要休息一下。

    上个星期这里暂时开了 【”Temporarily set up/opened” I think works better than 有 because the small market is not always existing there】
    一个小市场,他们<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">买</s>【卖 you wrote “buy” you meant ”sell”】了很多不同种类的蔬菜,肉,起司和水果,我很喜欢买新鲜农产品,真的好吃啊!

    昨天半夜去睡觉之前,我去到阳台上看着星星,这样总是让我觉得很平静。

    I think you may have heard the other person incorrectly. He probably said something like “You are acting out of character “ which means that you are not like many or most people in your group. The fact that you prefer direct communication style as an Asian means that you are communicating in a way that is not the norm for many Asians . If that is what he said , then his comment is neither positive or negative . He is just stating a fact . Or reinforcing your point. I say this because there is nothing in your comment to him about preferring direct communication that would qualify as “you are quite the character “.

    When someone says someone is “quite the character”, they mean that he/she behaves in a way that is special , outside the norm, says or does unexpected things in unexpected ways. It can be positive or negative depending on if the person using that phrase likes the behavior or not.

    我喜欢的事宜昌里很多。我爱中国菜。 我最喜欢的中国菜是两面和藕。我还喜欢中医按摩,中医按摩以后我觉得很好。我尝尝在淘宝买东西。每星期我跟我的外朋友去玩儿。我们去酒吧或者夜总会。

    在中国的生命很好玩儿。

    —————————-
    我叫Lena。我的中国名字 [[我的中文名字]]
    是爱琳娜。 
    你是英语老师。[[我是英语老师]]

    我在中国幼儿园教书。

    我的学生非常可爱,也很聪明。[[我的学生又可爱又聪明]]

    我爱我的工作。[[我很喜欢我的工作 I really like my job is more Chinese style I think ]]

    我的幼儿园在宜昌。 宜昌是中国城。这个城市很干净,也十分录。宜昌在河边。晚上我爱在这个河边走。

    在河边里,[[ it might be better to replace this with “there” rather than repeat it again , so 

    你找出跳舞的老奶奶。[[那里常常能看到奶奶们跳舞 there one can often see the older ladies dancing]]

    一度我跟她们跳舞跳得很好。it sounds like you are trying to express “ when I join them in their dance routines I think I do pretty well! “ how about this? :
    我跟她们跳舞的时候觉得自己跳得还不错!“

    我喜欢的事宜昌里很多。[[how about this: 宜昌有很多我喜欢的事情]]

    我爱中国菜。 我最喜欢的中国菜是两面和藕。我还喜欢中医按摩,中医按摩以后我觉得很好。我尝尝在淘宝买东西。每星期我跟我的
    外朋友去玩儿。[[外国朋友 probably just a typo here]]
    我们去酒吧或者夜总会。

    在中国的生命很好玩儿。[[ I think it might be better to use 生活 for life here 。 生命 is more like “life” in the general sense ,as in “life is short”.
    WISH YOU CONTINUED HAPPINESS IN CHINA!


    I will be grateful for any notes or corrections 😊

    唉呀,今天的天气非常热,三十六度,太热啦!

    唉呀,今天的天气非常热,三十六度,太热啦!在我到达办公室了,.[[ 我到了办公室,]]. 我就开始[[开始means to begin or start/ you mean “to turn on “ so 开or 打开 is better<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">.</s>
    冷气机并且倾斜都百叶窗,好舒服。

    我发现在工作 [[it might be better to say “ in the workplace “ so 在职场上would be a better choice I think]]一个很重要的事情是好通讯[[as the other commenter said , you mean to say 沟通]],特别是有很多人在办公室,因为好通讯让每一个工人[[ 都喜欢。 每一个。。。都。。。structure . Hard to remember the 都 because we don’t use it in English ]]<s>感到欣赏</s>,所以他们会很喜欢去上班。说这样很简单,但好通讯不是很简单,因此需要日常练习。

    昨天我买了草莓,平时这里没有草莓七月之前,[the phrase “before July “ should appear before 这里]] 而且它们已经看起来很好吃,好棒哦!

    过去几天我发现了,在很热的天气[[天气热的时候 when it’s hot ]]我比平时喝水更多[[我喝水比平时多-]],这样总是让我觉得我们的身体很有趣,告诉我们"现在我好渴啦",哈哈![[you are doing well ! 加油!

    Helen, 1.Whether they are OK or not would depend on the context. Is this happening in the present or past? We don't know from that example. 2.I didn't know ABOUT it before today. I think this is what you are trying to express
