Hi there, My name is Jon!~ I am currently living in Edmonton AB Canada - I just finished a bachelors degree in Chinese Language and Literature, and while I've come a long way I still don't feel confident enough speaking Mandarin. In the fall I am going to be studying Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture. I went on an exchange program a few years ago to Thailand so in addition to English, I can also speak Thai pretty well! I have also recently taken up Korean and am hoping to learn a lot over the summer. Looking forward to meeting teachers or language exchange partners, though I've never taught anyone before - so if you want help please bear with me!

    This was an extremely enjoyable notebook entry. Very well written. Strikethroughts mean I got rid of something you wrote, and bold red means I added or changed a complete sentence to help it seem more natural.


    You are a great writer, you just need to be more careful with spelling. Also make sure to put spaces after commas and periods to make it look more professional.


    Great job and I hope these corrections help!


    2 To Make Good Use of Computer?

    Does computer do more good than harm? There are both advantages and disadvantages to them, but on the whole computers do more good than harm.

    I think most of people may have this answer. For example, our teachers often say there is abundant infromation on the internet, and suggest we downloading listening materials, or listening to VOA or BBC everyday or watching some English TV series and movies online. Our teachers also say we are a lucky generation because of the widespread use of the internet and we should make good use of it. But these days, computers have really bothered me.

    After my TEM-4 examinatiom, I realized that my english skills including oral, writing, reading and listening are still rather weak and I need to enhance them. After all, I am a sophoremore now. So, I turned to my computer. I made the following plans: 1 Watch a piece of TED Talk every day. 2 Write my english blog every day.3 Practice my oral english every day. 4 Read texts one hour a day. In addtion, I wanted to watch one or two episodes of my Japanese anime Naruto every day. However, as long as I opened my computer, I can't finish all my tasks. Actually,I have lots of spare time because we have less courses this term. However, the computer costs me a lots of time. I knew that it is because I didn't have very firm self-discipline and I spent lots of time watching animation and surfing on the internet (such as my weibo and QQ) and I ended up forgetting my initial purpose for using the computer. Failing to finish my tasks made me feel rather terrible.

    I am thinking about whether I can learn english well without internet. Is it really necessary to learn english by computer if I don't have good self-control? I think it's a bit difficult for people to resrict themselves when they go online just like it's hard for smokers to give up smoking.

    夏天终于来了!

    我非常高兴,今天是很完美的。

    有蓝蓝的天空,很明朗的太阳。万里无云。

    我在 加拿大 的 埃德蒙顿城市 (Edmonton)。我们的冬天总是很久 很冷。下太多雪。 我们的天气是跟哈尔滨有相似。哈尔滨是埃德蒙顿的友好城市。

    我们从去年的九月等这样的天气。希望不再下雪了。我想享受外面的自然。种花,去徒步旅行。

    不幸我要今天晚上打工!

    Please correct my suggestion!

     

    I have also realized that most individuals would never have any desire to risk their life climbing a mountain!


    We all have, figuratively, mountains in our daily lives that we sometimes seem like large insurmountable problems looming large over us. We need to tackle these problems in the same way we would tackle a trip to the mountains one trip ... one step at a time. I really liked this quote because I found it probably has meaning in probably all of our lives .

    What do you think of this quote?

    我来了

    大家好,我叫Jon 中文名字就是 ‘柯志逸’

    这就是我第一次在italki写作文。我在我的个人资料已经说明过 我的专业是中文。我这个月就会毕业了!这年九月会学中医。 我虽然学了四年中文,还觉得我的普通话不太流利的。

    我听得懂老师说的话,也会看得懂很多汉字字 - 但还是说得不太好。

    希望有机会跟中国人做朋友。
