Hi all! So as I have explained in my short introduction, my name is Man Bon and I am a university student studying Computer Science. I am currently in my third and final year of my three-year course. Being British-born Chinese, I was born here in the UK while possessing a Chinese heritage. As a result I can speak both English and Cantonese fluently, so do feel free to contact me for advice on either language! Admittedly though, my Chinese writing is not all up to scratch, but nevertheless I have had a good amount of experience in that field; I am able to write around 1000 to 2000 characters. Enough about my background though, I am also studying a Japanese module as part of my course at present, although my interest in the Japanese language extends beyond the material that is provided there. I have taken lessons for two years, and despite that, my Japanese is poor (and I'll be the first to admit it!). I am also interested in Mandarin, although for the most part it is only the pronunciation of the characters (Pinyin) that I am missing. I'd be very glad to help anyone with their English skills. Just pass me anything that you would like me to proof-read and I will correct any mistakes for you. :)

     First notebook entry: Introducing myself

    I am learning English, because I want to study for my business and converse with friends who speak English.
    My native language is Kazakh, but Russian is better for learning English.
    I enjoy my business in IT and like playing hockey and bass guitar.

     

    You have some interesting hobbies. Good luck with your learning!

    I watched the movie Sister Act 2, with starring Whoopi Goldberg, on a satellite TV channel with Japanese subtitles. I could listen English only hear (or <em>understand</em>) one phrase “Do I make myself clear?” because when I have kept watched The Matrix, the manager of the company which Mr. Anderson worked for said to him the same dialogue to him. I thought about that phrase meant “Do you understand?”. I decided that I should avoid using that phrase though.

     

    Anyway, the movie when I turned off the Japanese subtitles, suddenly, changes the different movie absolutely the movie suddenly turned into something entirely different (???). I have often been at a loss when I try to write in English, but I remember the fake idiom 'step by baby-step' made by myself such a time which I made up some time ago. Do you understand by the way?

     

    There are some parts which I don’t get. Apart from that though, very good writing! I actually like The Matrix too, even if it is 10 years old. ちょっとわからなかったんだけど、残り文には良い書き方だよ。実は僕はメーツリクスも好き、たとえ十歳なんだ。

    Last month, I was looking for the a company which that wanted a new employee last month as a headhunter.

    (僕はこの文を書いてば、書き方はそれ:

    personally, I would rewrite this as

    "I was looking for a company that had a vacancy for a position as a headhunter")

    Now I'm looking for my own job on the Internet. ("Internet"の"I"はよく大文字になる “Internet” is often capitalised)

    I come here (on Italki) sometimes for a change as a break.

    By the way, my laptop is something wrong at last there is something wrong with my laptop at last.

    (ノートを何年使ったが教えると文もよくになるよ。例えば

    to make this sound better, you may want to tell us the number of years you've been using your laptop. For example, "By the way, after using my laptop for 10 years, there is something wrong with it at last.")

    Although I refreshed her the day before yesterday, all of a sudden she ignored me, rebooted by herself, and forgot how to rise open up Google Chrome.

    I can't afford to buy a new one now, so I change switched to my another laptop to which is an older one than this.

    I will keep on seeking a way out of this situation (ノートは壊れたが悪いことから、「dilemma」はもっといい。

    Because your laptop dying on you is a <em>bad</em> thing, it may be better to use dilemma instead) ^0^!!!

     

     

    I think you need to take your laptop to a computer doctor! :P

    病気になったのノートはPC医者が要るよ!!

    I signed in to Italki again! (usually when referring to names, the first letter is capitalised 普通に物の名前について話すなら、最初の文字が大文字になる)

    I’ve returned to Italki!
    I stopped using Italki as well as some other sites because I wanted to save myself the trouble<s>s of keeping various passwords.
    Recently, I signed up for Twitter. I can sign in to many sites using my Twitter ID and it's great!</s>

    I’m currently studying Japanese. Nice to meet you! 僕は今日本語を勉強している。これからよろしくね!

    Jack Daniel's!

    I'm happy that I had the chance to taste the whiskey Jack Daniel's! And Now I’m have drank a lot! Sorry for the stupid mistakes, the alcohol in my brain caused me to write this, not me!

     

    You were probably really drunk, but I'll just correct this anyway!

    Looking back on 2012

    I'm just looking back on the toughest year of whole my my whole life.

    I had have done my best in order to recover (from my ordeals) and to find (it may be better to say start) a new life.

    I have spent lived through this year without any debt.
    This is my policy (これなに?what is your “policy”??) after finishing to payback paying back my school (もしかして意味は「大学」?do you mean university?) and car loan from when I was 33 years old.

    If I need to rend borrow money to alive in order to stay alive, I should give up on any kind sort of challenge.

    I haven't wanted to be a secretary for the past 16 years, but now I need should change my mind.

    I will accept my new situation (この文の意味が分からない I don’t know what you mean) for the sake of my dream and purpose.

    I just like tough guy and want to be, this is my dream,  It is my dream to be just like a tough guy, although my body isn't strong.

    I just need to focus to see on seeing what is my real desire truly is.

    Changing my country of residence? Being rich? Improving my social status? Going and living abroad? (you can also say moving overseas)

    I don't know. Maybe I want whatever I want, whenever.

    Now is the time to find my true love, so that I may live my life as a human...maybe...

     

     

    There are many hardships in life. Hope all goes well for you in the future. Wish you luck! ^^ 生活の中にいろいろ苦難があるでしょう。未来にもっと嬉しいことがあるといいな。未来に頑張るよ
