reading a new book
I am a girl born after 1980. Chinese Education is getting ["becoming" might be better] more and more similar to that of with western countries. Although we are advocating that we should continue learning Chinese culture and preserve inherit it. It‘s a fact that we are losing loosing it. These day I'm reading 《儒林外史》a novel that was written at the end of Qing dynasty, about 200 years ago . It’s quite interesting, and I can't stop reading it. The language is different from what we are now using, but we can understand the main content. Forgive my poor English, there must be many grammar mistakes, but I'm learning.
Very few grammar mistakes! hen hao xie!

More than four hundred years ago, Tthere lived an italian named Vinic who was a well-known painter. His teacher asked him to draw eggs one after another at the beginning of his drawing class. He was tired of drawing eggs every day. One day,he asked his teacher, 'sir, Iis it easy for me to draw eggs every day?' 'Yyou are wrong, my little boy, it is obviously not an easy task! tThere are not same shapes of eggs in one thousand egg. [Maybe this sentence is better "In one thousand eggs, you will not find the same shape."] No matter from which angle you look, you will find they are in are differently shaped. You are requested to draw eggs to improve your vision and improve your drawing skills, so as to get you to look visualize accurately and draw proficiently!' hHearing this, Vinci began focusing on drawing eggs. He drew lots of differently shaped of eggs on pieces of water [do you mean paper?]. lLater on, whatever he drew, he could draw them quickly and vividly.

In modern life, it is very necessary for people to improve their educational level to keep up with follow the rapid developments throughout the world in various aspects such ad science, technology and economics. From my point of view, it is clear that education is considered one of the most significant figures factors that to contribute to the advancement of developing countries today, for the nowadays on the following reasons: grounds.
Firstly, we cannot deny that increasing raising education levels is the top first priority in governments' national strategies, since education is the primary element to make an economy stronger as well as to save a fragile economy. Taking a look back in history, Japan provides a good example. have been a typical instance for years. People all around the world really admire the way that a country totally destroyed after World War II became among the world's largest economies by focusing on education supplement.
Secondly, education help people improve their consciousness which plays an important role in building a better society. Along with crime rates inal problem, other factors including health or infrastructure are also related to depend too much on educational levels. More and more recent studies show that the crime rates in many developed nations with which build strong educational systems are far lower than those in developing countries whose education system are still poor. This underscores the help strengthen the most importance of education in a country.
Last but not least, today keeping up to date with the newly rapid advancement of new technology and science today requires people human to have a certain educational level. It is easier to access the world if we have reach rather higher levels of education background. We just can broaden our mind and increase knowledge through education. by educated. For example, in our country, for years the government has had policies to raise push up national education levels for years, and as a result, more and more talented young people talents have won many world awards in different fields ranging from agriculture to technology in recent decades.
In conclusion, it cannot be denied that education is the most significant element in a developing country because it contributes to streghthen the national economy, to improving the awareness of citizens in societies and to giving the key to access worldwide advancement.

I think Paddington Bear must be for Britons what as Winnie the Pooh is for Americans, but indeed he is a Peruvian fictional character created by the Englishman Michael Bond.
How could be this charming and polite little bear be the centre of all a well established system of toys and media productions? This year, we will see in on theatres the filming adaptation of the original book, A Bear Called Paddington. And the actor who was chosen for performing the role of the main character is Colin Firth. [or you could simply say ...the actor who was chosen for the main character...]
I have heard that even this teddy bear has a statue in the Paddington station in London. It is like a symbol of the immigrants coming from a very far place, in this case the "darkest Peru".
But according to the story, his real name is not Paddington. However, he must use it because it cannot be pronounced properly in English. It sounds like Pastuso.
In Perú, we have a kind of small bear called the eye glasses bear, or ukuku in Quichwa. This animal has a kind of white circle around the eyes, and is very shy. You could see it near Machu Picchu in Cuzco when the night comes.<em>Very nicely written, and very interesting too!</em>

One of my old friends came back to Vietnam from America on the 3rd th of February. We haven't seen each other for a five years. She hasn't haven't changed a lot. She was thin, tan (I had thought her skin would be brighter than it used to be in Vietnam but it wasn't :D ). When studying at the Uuniversity, she sat beside me. People said that she looked similar to me, her look was the same to me, especially her a long black-long hair and thin body. We looked like the twins :D.
Yesterday, we had a funny party at the Binh Quoi tourist area. Sunday was a beautiful day. There were so many people, however, that we found it difficult to find a space for five people. After moving two times from one place to another, we finally found a good place where beside the riverside [or "at the riverside"] and we were able to could have a look around.
We called the waiter and ordered a lot of many food, including: . There were: fried noodles with seafood; fried beef with vegetables (which has a specific name in Vietnamese and I don't know how to translate it into English); cooked blood cockle with garlic sauce; hotpot which includes: beef, shrimp, meretrix meretrix which is a kind of seafood and I don't know how to translate it into English; vegetables ebales (they were specific vegetables in Vietnam); rare beef with vinegar; dried Indian taro with ketchup and chilli sauce... We enjoyed the meal, laughed a lot and took many pictures. It was a wonderful time! I am sure that it will be take us a long time before we have a funny fun party like this again.
Eventually, I came home at 8 pm and [slept tight without any thoughts] [maybe: fell easily to sleep]after doing my personal activities . Haha.
P/S: There are so many dishes that have a specific name in Vietnamese and I don't know how to translate them into English. I'm very sorry if after reading the notebook above, you don't know exactly what the dishes are, just imagine yourself and help me to describe them. I would appreciate so much for your help in to describing the dishes and correcting mistakes for me.
Thank you so much for your attention. Have a nice day everybody.0 votedFebruary 17, 20141Family
Hi, today I will write about my family. I have two sisters and a brother. I am 24, my sisters are 21 and 19 and my brother is 15. So I am the eldest of the siblings. For France we are a large family. My parents divorced 8 years ago and we have lived with our mother but we have always been able to see our father when we wanted.
My grandparents came from Algeria in the 50's, my father was born in France and my siblings and me too. We are the so-called "second generation". We are all students because we all think it's very important for our future, particularly for immigrant's children of immigrants and for women!
So I study Chemistry, my sisters study management and my brother is still in high school. I hope he will go to university, but I'm a little afraid [maybe "nervous" or "worried" is better] because he is very lazy!0 votedFebruary 17, 20143Nowadays Young People Always Spend Too Much Time on Playing on their Cell Phone
Nowadays young people always spend too much time on playing on their cell phone. When they are walking on the road, riding on the bus, studying in the class, they are always playing everywhere.
They have no time to read books, no time to see accompany their parents, no time to talk with their wife or husband, no time to enjoy the scenery; they are very busy, however, because they are playing on their phone.
Spending Taking a lot of time to playing on cell phones could cause some diseases [maybe it's better to say "poses health risks"], e.g.cervical spondylopathy, or nearsightedness. it is not healthy. We should practice healthy get good habits.

Par example, en asie de sud-est, les peines pour les crimes de drogues sont très lourdes - plus lourdes qu'aux etats-unis. Toutesfois, les peines aux etats-unis sont souvent plus lourdes qu'en Europe. Est-ce que c'est une question de la culture, où peut-etre une question de l'histoire. La réligion joue un role aussi, je crois, notamment dans les pays Musulmans qui suivent le loi de "sharia." De plus, je trouve trés interessant que quelques pays criminalisent des actes dont autre pays ne criminalisent pas. La prostitution, pour example, où les drogues legeres. Aux etats-unis, dans les anneés vingt, la consumption d'alcool a été interdit. Mais maintenant, il est legal, et dans certaines etats, on peut fume le cannabis pour les raisons medicaux.February 17, 201430
