Hello, my name is David. I was born in the U.K. and live near London, so English is my native language. Because I frequently visit Hong Kong on holiday, I decided to try to learn Cantonese and have been learning two and a half years. However, in order to improve my pronunciation, I need more practice with a native speaker. So I am looking for a native Cantonese speaker who, in turn, needs help with their English, so we can exchange languages, Hope to hear from you soon; thank you.

    Someone could explain what is correct? making it looks like a face or making it look like a face.


    'Making it (something) look like a face' would be correct...

    Invisible Man

    Nowadays, symbols are really popular, such that we almost always use signs such as emojis to represent and express ourselves. However, sometimes people just focus on these superficial symbols instead of the inherent meaning of our message. We can often feel like the “invisible man” because our real sentiments are largely ignored by people. .

    correct :)

    Tomorrow at 9 am I'll be going to school. Between 10 am and 12.30 pm I'll be having lessons and then I will take a break for lunch. I'll be studying again at 1 pm and I'll have finished my work by 3 pm. At 3.30 pm I'll go home.


    I'm assuming you will be attending school in the morning and will finish in the afternoon!

    Lockdown Dairy (06/08/20)

    During lockdown, everyone seems to have developed a bad temper.
    This is the first time I have felt lonely. Being far from away home without any friends, I somehow have to learn to live by myself. .
    Hope the world can get through this most toughest of times.

    I would suggest: - 'I suddenly am missing Severus. No, seriously, if I go to heaven after dying, I am expecting to see him there existing as a real person. He really deserves that.''

    I agree with Timo on this question. Abandoned suggests he would be 'given the cold shoulder' or 'ostracised' so, in effect they would have nothing further to do with him because of his involvement in criminal activities. 'Deserted' can best be used to suggest someone moving away from something. In this instance they aren't necessarily moving away from him, just having nothing further to do with him.

    A Short Story I Wrote: The Flower <font style="background-color: inherit;">Which/That</font> (<strike>Who</strike>) Was Afraid of the Dark

    This is a a short story I wrote for kids. I also drew (<strike>draw</strike>) the pictures for the story but they (<strike>the pictures</strike>) cannot be upload here:( So the story cannot be illustrated here. Sorry about that.
    And the whole story goes like this:

    On a starry night, a little firefly was flying in the night sky.
    He lit up his way in the dark night with his glowing tail.
    When the firefly was flying around the bushes, he suddenly heard a sobbing sound. (<strike>someone sobbing.</strike> )
    He turned around and started flying in the direction of the sound.
    He soon (<strike>had</strike>) found the source. It turned out to be a flower which <strike>(who</strike>) was crying.
    The firefly flew towards the flower and asked her, “Why are you crying?”
    She answered, “I am scared at night. I am afraid of the dark.”
    “Because scary monsters come out at night.”
    “Scary monsters? Where?” asked the firefly.
    “One of them is over there!It has a big scary mouth!” said the flower.
    The firefly flew towards the monster and lit it up with his glowing tail.
    “This is not a monster. It’s just a tree! Don’t be scared.” said the firefly.
    “One of them is hiding in the bushes!It has a pair of glowing eyes!” said the flower.
    The firefly flew towards the monster and lit it up with his glowing tail.
    “This is not a monster. Mr. Raccoon is eating his late-night snacks! Don’t be scared.” said the firefly.
    “One of them is always around me. It keeps asking who who……?” said the flower.
    The firefly flew towards the monster and lit it up with his glowing tail.
    “This is not a monster. It's just the sound Mr. Owl makes! Don’t be scared.” said the firefly.
    “And I feel alone at night.” said the flower.
    “You are not alone. I can be your friend.” The firefly replied.
    “I can also be your friend.” said Mr. Raccoon.
    “I can also be your friend.” said Mr. Owl.
    The flower smiled and said, “Thank you all, guys! I'm not scared anymore.”
    She found that what at first seems frightening may not be so scary after all, especially when your friends are nearby.

     

     Nice story and your grammar is very good. We would normally associate 'who' as being a person, so better to use 'which' or 'that' when talking about a thing such as a flower. Again, 'someone sobbing' would indicate a person so I think better to keep that neutral and just say 'a sobbing sound'. Overall, very good!!!

    Is A Part-Time Job Compatible With Full-Time Study?<o:p></o:p>

    Recently, there has arisen a heated debate over whether it is wise to take part-time employment around our studies. Some proponents strongly believe that by taking part-time jobs they can not only earn money, but also gain the skills and experience valued by future employers. Counteracting this argument is the view that insists the priority for a student should be to devote his or her time to academic study. What is more, the disadvantages of a part-time job generally outweigh the advantages. From my perspective, I favour the opposition view. Firstly, there is no doubt it is difficult to give your full attention to two tasks at the same time. A prime example would be how easy it is to become distracted by loud music whilst trying to study. The same could be said for the relationship between study and work. Secondly, it is not worth gambling with our academic careers. Findings go to prove that taking on part-time jobs can lead to disruptive influences such absences from lessons, losing interest in your studies and, worse still, failing to achieve the degree diploma standard. Most importantly, the core component of study is to learn how to learn. The benefits of learning are often intangible but also lifelong. Crucially, the acquisition of knowledge can help shape our individual personality, something which is hugely significant to our future success. By way of conclusion, I strongly hold the view that we should refrain from taking part-time jobs when our prime task is to study to the best of our ability. Focusing on learning to the exclusion of all else can certainly guide us to experience a new world, one we would be forever grateful for in the future.<o:p></o:p>
