- My Travel to Seoul in Apr2015 In Apr this year, I took a 5-day trip to Seoul for travel. This is the third time that I have been to South Korea. Some maybe ask "You have been there twice before. Why went again?" There are several reasons~ First, as I used to learn Korean as my second major in university, I can communicate with Korean, although my Korean level is still not good enough for smooth communication. That gave me a feeling of safety. Second, the first and second trip to South Korean are both a 5-day travel, which is not enough to travel to all the places to which I want to go. Third, Korean culture and their habit of life attract my curiosity. Every time I went there I could always find its charm. Expecially, as the the cherry blossom were in full bloom there in Apr, I decided to go there for this beautiful scenery. I took part in the package trip arranged by travel company. We visited Bukcheon Hanok Village and Samcheong Dong, a place where the houses are in the traditional Korean Style for the first day. Also, we travelled to Nami Island, Petite France, Jade Garden, Seoul Tower for the second day. In the third day, we went shopping in Wark villa duty-free Shop, in Shilla duty-free shop and lotte duty-free shop. The fourth day is the time when we could take self-guilded tour, I visited Yeoido Island, Ehwa Womans University and Lotte Shopping Mall. In this trip, I visited places which were different from the place I had went before. Also, the package trip enabled my acquaintance with new friends who travelled together in the 5-day trip, which I think is one of the reason why I think travel is a very charming things!October 24, 201500
我找住在伦敦的语伴(语言伙伴)
你好
请问有现在住在伦敦并且想练习英语的人/朋友么?
('有...的人么?' is similar to the sentence structure 'Is there any one who...'. The sentence above translated to English is 'Is there any one/friend who is living in London and wants to practise English?')
我是土生土长的英国人。我也想要提高我的汉语水平。所以我找个语伴(语言伙伴)。
(Remember to add '是' after '我', '是' in '我是XXX' is like 'am/are/is' in 'I am XXX'. )
(‘虽然AAA...但是BBB...’ is like the sentence structure 'although AAA..., BBB...' or 'AAA... but BBB...' But the relationship of two sentences '我是土生土长的英国人'and '我也要提高我的汉语水平' should not be like the one mentioned above. Just '我是土生土长的英国人。我想要提高我的汉语水平。' is OK.)
互相帮助吧。0 votedOctober 19, 20150- Good to come back to italki :) Last year I found out this website which provided a platform for language learners from all over the world for language exchange. I wrote the first passage which was also a self-introduction. But since then I did not write a new one any more until now. Before now I always made excuses for not writing short passages on this website such as the reason that I had to spend more time for job hunting or the reason that I wanted to have a rest after work as there was a lot of work in my internship. Actually procrastination and lack of perseverance are real reasons for that. When I have just graduated from school, I told myself that several important tasks I needed to accomplish including writing and sending CVs to companies' HR departments and practice oral English which one of languages spoken in job interviews. As I ranked job searching and CVs sending as the first and language practicing the second, I always concentrated on job-related thing and told myself that only when I finished today's job hunting tasks could I go to the next tasks--language practice. The usual result is, I felt too tired to go for next task and then allowed myself to postpone it to next day. So the consequence is, I thought like that every day then postponed language practice until now! How terrible it is! In these days, although I did some preparation before job interviews which were in English, my English is only OK to express my meanings. So I gradually realized that English practice was also an extremely important tasks though it was ranked the second. I also gradually understood that I did not really take it seriously though I knew that it was important. I began to blame myself for not taking time for language practice. I also began to blame myself for poor time management. Of course blaming myself makes me realized my fault and start taking this task seriously. But the more effective way of changing this situation is to take actions, including forcing myself to take some time for language learning and changing my rules of time management. That is what I should do immediately.May 12, 201420
- 제가 이 두 문장을 정확하게 이해했어요? 제가 그 두 문장을 정확하게 이해했어요? 1. 한국에 가기만 하면 한국말을 쉽게 배울 줄 알았어요. Meaning: I thought once I went to South Korea, Korean would be easy to learn. But actually, it is wrong. 2. 한국에 가기만 하면 한국말을 쉽게 배우는 거 알 거에요. (제가 만든 문장이에요. 이런 표현이 맞아요?) Meaning: Once you go to South Korea, you would know that Korean is easy to learn.February 9, 201420
- 자기소개 안녕하세요. 저는 영연이라고 합니다. 저는 중국사삼이고 지금은 홍콩에서 살고 있습니다. 저는 대학 때 영어를 배웠고 한국어도 배웠습니다. 하지만 홍콩에서 유학하는 동안 영어와 광동말만 자주 해서 한국어를 쓰는 기회가 별로 없습니다. 그리고 저는 한국 드라마를 자주 보고 한국어 듣기가 좋아졌지만 쓰기와 말하기가 별로입니다. 이 웹사이트르를 통해 한국어 쓰기 레벨를 올리고 싶고 한국 친구도 사귀고 한국 문화를 많이 알고 싶습니다. 한국 친구들이 시간이 있으면 저를 좀 가르쳐 주세요. 대신 저도 중국어를 도와 줄 수도 있습니다. 광동말을 배우고 싶은 친구도 도와 줄 수도 있습니다. 그리고 홍콩에 살고 있는 친구가 있으면 자주 연락할 수도 있습니다. ^^November 10, 201340
