    Time is important

    Time is important,. The more time you waste, the easier it is to go on wasting time. I must work out a study plan and put it into practice.

     

    Hi, Ada. I just wanted to correct your punctuation. There needs to be a space after commas (,) and periods (.). Otherwise, good job! I agree with you, wasting time is so easy. Good luck with your study plan! :)

    Hospitality

    Yesterday I had a voice chat with my Japanese friend. My friend wanted to introduce his wife to me. I talked to both of them in broken Japanese. It was beyond a chat. It was like an invitation for me. They shared their happiness with me. It was very pleasant. They treated me as a guest or even a relative, not a language partner. I felt that like I am was at their house.
    I appreciate their hospitality.



    Hi, samin. This is such a sweet notebook entry! How lucky you are to find such a nice friend to chat with. ^_^

    Hallo Hello

    I learn am learning English. Can someone to listen to my pronunciation? , I think it's difficult to pronounce some English words.


    Hi, Ibragim! :) If you want to work on your pronunciation, I suggest you find an online teacher or a language exchange partner. If you talk on Skype or exchange voice messages on italki, it will be much easier to work on your oral English, because it's a little harder to explain proper pronunciation just by writing.


    If you want to study by yourself, you can also watch some English language movies or TV shows and try to copy their pronunciation.


    Good luck!! :)

    I am learning English by myself on my own.

    At first I thought my Eng. is ok good enough that I can talk or understand easy conversations, but when I be was in Australia I do could not understand what ever anything they talk said. It is difficult for me..

    Should parents send their kid to art classes

    Many parents perfer prefer to send their kids to art classes, because they think which can want to enrich their kids' knowledge and broaden their kids' horizons. ,So the Parents ask their children to attend various art classes, because they firmly believe that attending art classes is vital to their kids' furture.
    On the other hand, the parents don't turely truly know what their kids want to do, driving the kids to attend art classes, and that which take up most of the kids' spare time. Therefore, kids have no don't have enough time to do what they are instersted interested in .and the parents give kids exact a burden.
    The parent Parents should give kids an opportunity if the kids show interesting in what they want to learn. (I would suggest you write this instead as, "Parents should give kids the opportunity to learn what they are interested in."

     

    Hi, Naruto. Please study how to use the commas and periods. I agree with your viewpoint! Good job and interesting notebook entry. :)

    nervous!

    I am kind of nervous beause I will meet my Indian guests tomorrow. My friend told me that I should calm down and keep smile smiling, but I am still nervous. I am practicing to be a foreign trade assistant in a foreign trade company, and I am a new comer (this is one word, "newcomer"). I have to practice my oral English speaking,. Because of I was lazy, I didn't work hard in my college, and I feel regretful now,. Yesterday, a language partner told me how to learn a new language,. I thought he was right,: the key point of learning a language is communicating, so just leave stiff grammar and let language be a tool of communication. That is the main goal. I have acquired more knowledge, what about you guys? By the way, if you want to be my language partner, just let me know,. I could teach you Chinese and I want to learn English. My skype number is: missyanr, plz don't forget to add me! I am totally off the topic. haha. Anyway, I want to improve my English!!!O(∩_∩)O

     

     

    Good luck meeting your Indian guests tomorrow! Your English is good, so I agree with your friend - just calm down and keep smiling. A smile is understood in every language. :)
