Hello! My name is John and I am from Surrey, BC. I'm learning Mandarin because most of my friends are from China and I love to study Chinese history. I'm on italki to find a teacher to help me learn to speak Mandarin.

Daydreaming about vacations you want to take someday. Having goals makes working hard worthwhile. 多想想你未来的假期。设定目标会让工作更有动力。 Taking a walk in the park. Try to notice the beauty around you. 在公园里散步。试着去发现周围的美景。 ~~~很高兴有了一个新学生，我们一起学习吧~~~~

    I loved football

    When i was young, very young, I had a strange addiction: It was a football addicition.

    From 1981 to 1990, I went to the stadium every sunday, I read about football in the newspaper every day (In Italy there are 4 newspapers only about sports) and I watched every talk show about football on television. My mind was always tuned to football.

    In 1990 there was football world championship in Italy and I watched every match on tv. At the end of last football game, I said to myself: “you are a stupid boy, why do you waste your time on football?” So I decided to cut out football from my life for 6 months.
    After this period I started to understand that football was not so important, I found a lot of free time and never got mad about sports (any more).

    So, I have never seen a football match from beginning to the end from then on and now I'm happier, more relaxed and less stressed then my friends that go every sunday to the stadium.

    为什么很多外国人想学习中文正体字？ 我学习简化字和正体字。我不明白为什么很多中文学生只学习化字或正体字。所有台湾人写正体字而且所有中国人写简化字。我想很多中国朋友和台湾朋友，所以我要知道又简化字又正体字。可能外国人想学正体字因为看上去很漂亮。

    I would say: "He reads when his parents tell him, or on his own free will."

    Yeah, I think they are both still very common. Mothers love to say "my child will be four months old tomorrow!"

    lose weight

    I have to lose weight now. Right now
    I used to do exercise three times* a week.
    Since when then I became lazy and ate a lot.
    Now my weight bothers me everyday.
    I know the problem, but can not make myself to start exercising now.
    I feel so bad.
    Now the Spring Festival is coming soon.
    I must to move from now to avoid becoming a fat girl during the Spring Festival.

     

    *The word 'thrice' is correct, but it is very uncommon.

    People spell like that because they're lazy and they don't care about acting civilized in public. Man Crush Monday is a day created by gay men who aren't ready to tell people they're gay, then on Monday they tell everyone they like a man. Women Crush Wednesday is the same thing but for women and on Wednesday. Neither of these things make sense to me personally.

    Seek is a little more formal and it's often used in writing. However, they have the same meaning.

    "among" means in with a group. There were many tall men among them. There was one slice of cake among the many desserts. Mongolia is among one of the least densely populated countries.
