    上个星期 上个星期,我很忙,不会练习中文。上商业课,我们有项目组,应该创作汇报。大学觉得项目组功课很有用,我觉得很慢因为大家想交谈,争论。 而且星期三我的以前的老板给了我打电话,在上海有工作所以可能我帮他。一边在苏州学习,一边在上海工作岂不困难吗?我觉得不容易,可是我想工作和赚钱。并那个工作很有意思。我希望可能学习三天一个周,工作二天一周。但是我也需要学中文的时间! (哈哈,这个作文簿不太好,明天我再做!)

     Do you want a modern name or a traditional name? A more American name? Something that is easy to say? What is your chinese name? Maybe you could use some of the sounds in that to help you pick one.

    考试 - 我应该学习 明天我有全球化的考试,我应该准备。是英文的考试。可是我不喜欢复习,所以倒反我练习中文。我是七年前考试的,我不知道怎么准备!幸好我没有文章的问题,只短问题。这堂课有很多话题。一些我认识,一些不认识。有时我觉得工作比大学更容易,没有考试。我偏向或者简报因为有多时间准备,可以上网,写书找到答案。我的同学偏向考试,因为他们觉得较少工夫。 明天我写考试的结果!

    As society advances, more and more phenomena are brought to our attention. One to which the public are attaching much importance recently is the absence of supervision from parents of children.

    Don’t spoil children, while it is true that there are large quantities of parents treat their children like little princesses or princes. For instance, sometimes when a child scream at public place, no one stop him. 

    Children should not be spoilt. It is a fact that there are large numbers of parents who treat their children like little princesses or princes. For instance, sometimes when a child screams in a public place, no one stops him.

    It is quite natural that people from different backgrounds have diverse attitudes towards it. Some people hold the view that children will understand when they grow up, while other people advocate that they will become bad guys , on the contrary, if they were not be educated immediately.

    Apparently, a enormous number of people harbor the idea that
    it’s unpleasant when impolite children disturb them, and so it’s true that children with bad manners are annoying, even if their parents may not think so.

    Moreover, some people alarm that if children‘s behaviors didn’t be corrected, they would misunderstand.

    [I don't know what you mean in this sentence]
    Additionally, it is pointed out by several notable experts, parents should put an enormous premium on the bad manners.

    In addition, it is pointed out by several notable experts that parents should put an high importance on bad manners.
    From my own perspective, spoiled children is so annoy and cause so many severe issues, thus we should say no to them. And we should struggle with the bad behaviors .

    To sum up, ,I cherish a belief that good manners of children not only make the children themselves get more award, but also make their parents be respect.

    I'm a little stupid

    Originally, I wanted to ask some questions about a book which I've been reading recently. But I made a big mistake that I didn't finish the sentences of the text so that all the people didn't understand what I was saying. So, I prepare to write them again. I hope that someone can help me to answer my questions. Thank you.^_^

    In the story, Sam, his mother and his friend were looking for his lost dog Champ. It's the sentence that I confused of below.

    "Tasha suggested they go home and make posters with pictures of Champ. It was the procedure, or way of doing things, animal rescue had suggested when she had lost her cat."

    I don't really know why the last sentence (animal had suggested when she had lost her cat) wasn't the passive voice? If it can be said like that? (animal had been suggested when...). But there was a friend who said that it was wrong. Who can help me to explain it. Thank you. ^_^

     

    ----

    This sentence is in the passive voice because the writer wants to continue talking about the topic of the previous sentence (making posters with pictures of Champ).  Another way of writing it would be:

    "Tasha suggested they go home and make posters with pictures of Champ. Animal Rescue had suggested this procedure, or way of doing things, Tasha had lost her cat." 

    Both ways are correct, but the second way moves the focus of the sentence from making posters, to animal rescue. I think the first way sounds a little more natural.

    I hope that is helpful! Ask me more questions if you want to.

    Some people think museums should be enjoyable places to attract and entertain young people. Others

    Talked When we talk about the position of the museum, there are two separate viewpoints. Some people treat it as a place to relief enjoy themselves while the others consist consider that we should emphasis emphasise the educational function of the museums. With views of both sides considerate considered, I think it is time to break the routine and give museum an opportunity to function as its recreation.
    Here are my arguments. First of all, with the rapid development of the modern society, people especially the juvenile young are so stressful stressed that they need a place to release relieve the pressure. As a result of this demands, museums which function like a entertainment place emerges one by one. And this phenomenon in return demonstrates my opinion that museums should be enjoyable places.
    In the second place, in my opinion it is time to reposition the role of the museum. For a long time, museum is have always been classified as a serious places. However, compared to old days, culture nowadays are is much more diverse, at the same time popular arts need a more inclusive stage to express themselves their contents. In this situation, the old style museum can not fulfill its needs.
    Also, there are some opponents who disagree with my opinion. They argue that the educational features of museum should not be discarded. For example, people may benefit from the traditional dramas which tells the stories of courage and decision.
    All in all, although the educational meaning of the museum can not be estimated, the needs of the modern human beings can not be ignored, too either.

    My road movie

    I am a movie nut and I always think road movies are fantastic. Experiencing something new or fun through the road seems marvelous.
    Last month I travelled to the North-west of China and eventually, I had my own road experience.

    Before the trip, I finished my last IELTS exams and finally got Band 7. During the speaking test, I said something about travel and I used the word "breathtaking". But I just made it up. I had never seen something breathtaking before I spotted the dessert and the milky way during this trip.

     spelling: dessert should be desert (dessert is something you eat at the end of a meal)

     The dessert was way beyond description. I couldn't see the edge and sand was shining under the sun. It was a breezy sunny day, my friends and I climbed to the peak of a sand hill and slipped down the hill.

    A hill of sand is a dune. (Although hill is not wrong.)

    At that moment, I could hear the sound of the sand. It was a little bit like the sound of a motorbike. Although bumping in the dessert sometimes made people sick and living in the dessert was tough, the astonishing view just made everything worthwhile.

    When I back home, I found that since I passed the IELTS exam, suddenly I lost all the motivation of learning to learn English, but I know if I do not practice my English like before, I will lost lose my skill soon. So I guess I need to motivate myself to practice English here more often.

    What you wrote is all OK, I have made corrections in blue to make it sound more natural and flow more smoothly, but the original is not wrong!

     

    Wedding

    I attended my friend's wedding during the National holiday.
    She (had been in love with her husband) and her husband had been in love for six years before they got married.
    I felt happy as much as I did sad.
    I was happy because she had a happy ending with her boyfriend.
    I was sad because many of my friends have got married, even had have got a baby. But I have never have had got a boyfriend.
    Just like as if we were having examination, many classmates have handed in their tests papers, but I haven't written down any words.
    Everyone told me to wait. But whom I am waiting for?

    ("Whom" is correct. But almost everyone would say "who" in this sentence, even though it is technically wrong.)
