8.26 The End of the Summer Break
There are only two days left for of my summer break. Soon I will be going to back to work again. The school where I work seems to get a will be a lot tougher this year, it seems, with some stringent regulation put into force some tougher/more stringent regulations being put into place. I spent the whole morning today preparing for all the files that were requested. It is some mostly meaningless paperwork; quoted? given to me by one of my colleagues. It is really just a matter of formality.
During This summer, although I didn't go anywhere on holiday, it was still quite enjoyable as I was able to read a lot and watch the Olympics on TV.Regarding learning my English learning, I find my weaknesses lie in both speaking and writing, the output parts, as do most people. as is common with most people. Through some practice, writing is becoming fun to me over the time, and because I always had a lot of thoughts, the sources would never really be a problem. With practice over time, I am finding writing to be a fun activity as I always have a lot of thoughts and therefore never run out of things to write about! The speaking part gets a bit trickier by contrast. However I am finding that speaking gets tricker over time.
In the new term, I will be teaching two exam preparation courses: one for TEM8 and one for IELTS. TEM 8 is the top English proficiency test in China, specially catering to English majors, while the IELTS is the international test for students going to study abroad. These kinds of courses are rather boring, as they concern mainly are mainly concerned with testing ones skills in order to get a decent mark. for getting a decent score. What I want to teach most, is are the courses relative to that cover cultural comparisons and English newspapers. It is interesting to dig up/ found out about out the causes behind different cultural phenomenon and breaking stereotypes, as well as to know find out about/learn about what is happening around the world. However, it could can be very demanding for anyone who wants to teach them these courses, because as you need to be both good good/proficient at both the English language and the subject knowledge. Not to mention you need a perceptive mind to see things through the surface ??? I am not yet up to that standard, but I will try to make myself close to it one day. I am not up to that level of English or subject knowledge yet, but hope to improve my skills in both these areas so I will be one day. / I have not yet reached that level/standard of English yet, but hope to improve my skills so I will get there one day.0 votedAugust 26, 20161I'm Learning a New Language: Chinese
I am a lucky guy!
Hi guys!
From last week, Last week I found a good Chinese teacher. I had seen posted a note on the wall to teach Chinese to say I was looking for a Chinese teacher. Imediately I then immediately asked my father to join it me in learning Chinese and he accepted/agreed it. Now we are a team, learning Chinese/a Chinese learning team.the team for learning
So my father and I we met got together and contacted the teacher. She looked smart and kind. We decided to meet 2 times/twice a week. She is Korean, but lived in China (?) for a long time have lived during long time and worked as a Korean teacher for the Chinese people.
I have already learned learnt how to pronounce some Chinese. I find Chinese is very/quite complicated/difficult but otherwise very attractiveinteresting/enjoyable/great.... Ironically that is why it is difficult. If it is was easy, we could be get boring bored easily. However I don't have to worry to about being boring. (I am a positive man.)
I'm ready to learn Chinese. I will do my best to speak/learn Chinese.
And later talk I with native Chinese speakers/ friends in their own language.
Expect that time! I look foward to that time (?)Best of luck with your Chinese language learning!

Yesterday I registered foran account and needed to a certified an email. Unfortunately I input a entered the wrong email address. The only mistake I made was with wrong email address only differed an "e". When I realized the mistake, it was too late. I need to confirm the email address, but I can't get into my mail. I felt so sad. Without access to my mail, I can't get the phone bill. Through the careful think, I thought carefully about what I could do. I tried to send an email to the wrong address :"Hi, I'm sorry to bother you. Did you receive an email from mclick? I need to check something, but I did a I entered the wrong email address. Your email address is close/similar to mine, and I'm waiting for an important the email. Thank you!" . I thought maybe the owner would delete the mail as a spam because it was about a Chinese mail. But after 5 minutes, I got the an email from the owner, he asked me:"Is it this your mail?" I looked at it then replied:"Yes, it is. I registered for an account and needed to confirm the email address. Can you help me? You just need to click the link what sent from mclick." Then after half minute, he replied again:"Done!" I thanked him again. What a kind person. Without the his help of him, I can't get couldn't have got what I needed. I was so happy!!
昨天我注册了一个账户并且需要一个认证的邮箱。不幸的是,我输入了一个错误的邮箱地址。那个错误的邮箱地址和我的邮箱地址只有一个字母"e" 不一样。当我意识到这个错误的时候,已经太迟了。我需要确认那个邮箱,但是我没有收到邮件。我很难过。没有邮件,我不能得到我的手机话费。经过慎重的思考,我试着给错误的邮箱发了一封邮件:‘“不好意思打扰你,你是否收到一封来自mclick的邮件呢?我需要检查一些东西,但是我输错了邮箱地址.。你的邮箱地址和我的地址很接近,我正在等待一个重要的邮件,谢谢!“ 我认为或许邮箱的主人会把它当做垃圾箱删掉,因为那是一封中文邮件。但是,5分钟之后,我收到了邮件。他问我:”这是你的邮件吗?“ 我看了看之后回复:”是的。我注册了一个账户,需要确认邮箱。你可以帮我吗?你只需要点击那个从mclick发过来的链接。“ 半分钟之后,他又回复:”完成了。” 我再一次感谢了他。多么好的一个人啊,没有他的帮助,我就得不到我所需要的。我是如此的高兴!!Overall a really good job!

I want to be good enough to write essays and formal letters. writing like a very noble writing. But I have done many mistakes in my writing. They are prepositions and vocabulary. Unfortunately I make a lot of mistakes when I write in English. I have trouble with the prepositions and vocabulary. With regard to speaking the language, I try and think of how to Regarding with speaking, I've thought how to translate Burmese words into English words. So I am always used a dictionary for my language assistance to assist me. But when I am speaking in English, used of dictionary it is impossible to use a dictionary. So what is important (what can help me) when learning to speak English? Vocabulary? Grammar? And what is important to learn/practice when writing in English? I am a Myanmar lady from Burma (Myanmar).
