Nuestra primera clase fue muy dinámica e interesante, esto nos permitió repasar vocabulario y usar nuevas palabras. Brian hizo bien su presentación que fue también muy interesante. :)

    On a way to a skin doctor, I dropped in a place which was famous for very beautiful cherry blossoms. They were in full bloom, so I enjoyed seeing them.

    Summer time

    European countries have a summer time. In March they move the time forward and in October they return it back.
    People think that summer time saves more energy. But the Parliament says that savings are small. Commission of Parliament decided to cancel summer time.


    In the US, we call this "daylight savings time." Your writing is pretty good. Pay attention to articles, though. They are difficult. For instance, with "But the Parliament says that savings are small" it would be better without the "the" before Parliament while adding "the" before "savings."

    Hey, I'm Scarlett. I am 28 years old, now living and working in Shanghai. I can speak fluent Chinese, but want to learn English. You know, it's so cool! If you can speak English, you can have friends from many different countries and exchange ideas with them. So, I like English!


    1. put more general idea first, more specific later
    2. no caps on “fluent”
    3. “wanna” is okay for speaking. Careful about such informal language in writing
    4. One exclamation point is enough! Use them sparingly
    5. non-idiomatic

     

    加油!

    The Tai Chi Chuan skills

    There are four most important skills of Tai Chi Chuan. It combines Wrestling Punching Catching and Kicking.

    Every good Tai Chi Chuan form must combines that four skill. If not there must be not a good Tai Chi Chuan form.

    So if you saw the Tai Chi Chuan fighting. they must be likes it mix boxing Jujitsu and Muay Thai. If not there must be not a good Tai Chi Chuan.

     

    For your reference, consider this version:

     

    Tai Chi Chuan practice requires a combination of four important skills: wrestling, punching, catching, and kicking. Every good Tai Chi Chuan form must combine these four skills. If not, it is not good form. Good Tai Chi Chuan fighting will thus appear as a mix of boxing, Jujitsu and Muay Thai. If not, it is not good Tai Chi Chuan fighting style.
