Profile
I'm 23, I'm married, and I have a 17-month old son. :)
Ever since I was 18, I have been highly interested in other cultures - especially Korean culture and Chinese culture. My husband is Chinese, we met while going to university together. I recently went to China to stay with his family and fell more in love with the culture, the people, and the landscape. I can't wait to go back!

This afternoon i had a good time,i went to square with my friends to play skateboard,we are all fond of playing skateboard.moreover,i had making a new friend who from America.i chatted with him,but unfortunately my english is not very well,otherwise we could chat more time.
(There are several different way you can approach your introduction sentences. You can use an exclaimation point to emphasis that you had a good time, or you can combine your sentences into one.)
ex 1: This afternoon I had a good time! I went to the square with my friends to skateboard.
ex 2: This afternoon I had a good time (because) I went to the square to skateboard with my friends.
(You need to connect your sentences together by adding information from the previous few sentences - otherwise your thoughts will look random and out of place.)
We are all fond of skateboarding. While I was out with my friends, I made a new friend who is American. I chatted with him but unfortunately my English is not well developed so we could not chat very long.0 votedJune 22, 20101First notebook entry: Introducing myself

By the way, I think learning Chinese painting sounds fascinating!0 votedJune 22, 20100i don't know if i can!

加油! 我希望您也可以參加大學你的願望!0 votedJune 21, 20100First notebook entry: Introducing myself
Many people why I learn English? (How many people want to know why I want to learn English? or "Do many people want to know why I am learning English?" or direct it towards the reader by asking, "Do you want to know why I want to learn English?")
The reason is simple. I love languages! I think I should at least know more than two languages. I use English often in my daily life and I also use it frequently at work. So, the more I think about it, this website is the door to practicing my English lingusitic skills.
很多人为我为什么学习英语?
原因很简单,我非常喜欢语言,我自己认为我应该最起码要懂得两种语言以上,英语在生活中也是会经常用到的一种语言,工作上也会用到,所以我就更加的想把英语这门语言学好。0 votedJune 21, 20100Lying is Sometimes Moral
What do you think of a person who tells a lie to you? Our first reaction to this question is that we would absolutely regard him /her as an immoral person. But it turns out that we are wrong when we recognize it is a white lie. Therefore, telling a white lie is sometimes moral. (You need to develop this a little further in the introduction paragraph, because your thesis is not properly supported. While you have great information in the following paragraph, it would do you well to explore what moral means and how a white lie can be considered moral from your perspective.)
A good case in point is my parents’ experience. Three years ago ,my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer (and) my parents hesitated whether to tell her the truth or not (kind of ambiguous? -- maybe try, hesitated whether to tell her the truth about her diagnosis) . At that time (this is passive, so make sure you keep with that), my grandmother <strike>is</strike> was in an extremely bad condition, (instead of using a comma here, try connecting the sentence with "because") she not only suffered cancer but also suffered other kinds of illness. The attending doctor told my parents that my grandmother only had three months left (ambiguous. Try, "only had three months to live"). They weighed the situation carefully. If they would have told her the truth, it only would resulted to her death more quickly (This is a little awkward and you need to give a reason why you think this news would have made her die quicker. So, you can say something like.... "if they would have told her the truth about her diagnosis, my grandmother would have become so depressed that her will to live would have disappeared.") .So they decided to keep her in the dark. Instead, they told her that it was the natural aging process that made her sick, and if only she kept optimistic, she could brave the tough times. The little trick worked perfectly (You aren't really referring to anything here so you may want to add, "My parent's little trick"). In her last few months, she had the best time of her life without worrying her illness. Miracles came after the white lie, she lived two more months than the doctor’s predicted.
This particular instance familiarized me with white lies, and from then on, I began to pay attention. I find it is more comfortable to tell my friend that she is endowed with beauty rather than tell her that she looks like Betty. Therefore, she feels good, I feel good, and nobody gets hurt. And (you really shouldn't start a sentence with "and" - try to think of a better introduction word for this sentence.) when I feel desperate, my friends’ white lies make me feel that there is still hope in my life.
Now you don’t have to bother whether it is immoral (or) not to tell your friend that her favorite skirt is a disaster. The only thing you should do is to tell her with sincerity that she looks fabulous in that skirt. So let the white lie add a spring to our lives. (You need a stronger conclusion than this to make your point. Try adding a few summary sentences about your grandmother, your betty friend, and how white lies help you. This will create a stronger conclusion and make your point stand out just a little better.)0 votedJune 19, 20100
