Hello! I'm Ling, I'm currently living in England because I married here. I'm trying to find a job recently and taking English lessons to improve my English. I hope to meet some friends here and to practise language together:) I have a lot of interests and I'm sure we will find a topic which both of us would have many things to talk. I love reading novels, watching TV series and films, yoga, travelling, meeting new people and also hope to learn a lot about different cultures and customs. I'm very willing to help you with all kinds of practice related to Mandarin. I could also tell you some new useful vocabularies and correct your mistakes if you wish. I was born and raised in northeast China and have a clear standard accent. All I need is to practise my speaking as I'm always making grammar mistakes:) So if you're interested in practice language together or just would like to have a chat in English, please feel free to contact me. I'm really looking forward to talking with you soon! Thank you so much and have a nice day, Ling

    The English exam for new semester I heard a bad new this afternoon--my university will ask everyone to take an English exam at the beginning of next semester. I really dislike exams, but I have to prepare it since I have to take it. The exam will have two parts: one is for listening, the other is writing. For listening, I can understand very standard voices such as BBC or VOA as they speak slowly. If I familiar with one topic, I can understand more when they speak really fast. But it's really hard for me to grasp the idea of people's casual talk, like TV shows, movies etc. They are really quite fast and with some idioms! For writhing, my vocabulary is a big problem. I often would like to say something but can't find the exact word or sentence patterns. The same for speaking. So I guess I should learn more words and not only know how to say or spell them, but also learn the way to use them. I'll try to write more if possible. I'm so lazzy. Every time I told myself to write something today, I failed. But this time, I'll try, because I have exams now. Let's see exam will work or not haha. Thank you for help me correct them, many thanks!!!

    劳燕分飞 (trying to improve my writing skills)

    在我六岁的时候,我的父母忽然离婚了。我被留了在母亲身边。从此以后,每次跟爸爸见面时,我很想念过去的那样无忧无虑的日子。
    有一次爸爸陪我去电影院看一部新搞笑片/喜剧片(both OK, 喜剧片 used more often)。我们一边看一边吃,真的很有意思。看完以后,他送我回家的时候,我不知不觉地大哭起来了,感觉恋恋不舍。父亲看起来向我表示可怜的感觉 很可怜我,但一句话也没说。过了一大  好一会儿/好久,我才敢对他说:‘爸,我很想你,请你回来,跟妈妈团圆吧!’ 他好不容易回答说:‘你这小孩子,不要那么着急。我和母亲分别一定是由于 有沉重的理由。劳燕分飞,总有一天你肯定(“总”and“肯定” have same functions in this sentence, only use one is enough.)会明白这个道理‘。
    一年比一年年复一年(like an idiom),我忙着找答复问了好多人,但谁都不知道也不想告诉我。他们总是笑着对我说:’你这小孩儿,快要明白了‘。
    转眼我成为一个成年人,才弄明白了 '劳燕分飞' 这个道理。。。

    I like your short story, good work! If you have anything don't understand please just ask me.

    勇晴的日记

    今天我七点钟起床了。 ,太早了。。  ……我不常从来也不那么早从床上爬起来,但是我今天又一门开车的课又要开始学开车了。

    “不常”听上去像not often,听上去没有那么不情愿。但如果说“从来也不”,听上去就能感觉到你特别不想起床了。这里也不是说以前一次都没有,是一种比较夸张的说法,用来强调。

    “又一门开车的课”听上去像之前已经开了一门了,好像学驾照要学好多门课程(我不知道是不真是学了好多课程啊?如果是的话,可以改成“又开了一门考驾照的课”),如果只是又开始考驾照了,就像我改的那么说就行。



    我刚两月一前开始愿望个车照  两个月前,我开始特别想考驾照。我觉得又知道怎么开车又有车照会开车又有驾照的人都生活过的比没有车照的人更方便。所以我决定了自己要开始学怎么开车。


    本来开车的时候我紧张极了!那时候开车对我来说有点别扭,也有点奇怪。 我都不知道怎么把车向前开或者向后开我都不知道。现在我开车越来越开车更自信了。

    “更”和“越来越”是一个意思,用一个就不用另一个啦。


    我今天终于可以自己开始更大大方方地开车了。我也比以前更享受开车。
    在这种情况下我肯定需要成为个勤劳的工人(我肯定要努力工作), 以便我会很那么快会买一辆车。。 :)

     



    Today I woke up ad 7am. So early... I don't crowl from my bed as early that often, (that is said this way to show my reluctance to waking up early) but I had my driving lesson again today. It was two months ago, when I begin to crave want a driving licence. I believe that lifes of people who can drive and have a car are much more convenient from the ones that don't have this abilities. So I decided I want to learn how to drive a car myself. At first I was really nervous when driving a car. At that time I thought that driving is a bit awkward and weird. I didn't know how to move my car to the front or to the back. Right now I'm slowly beginning to drive in a more confident way. Today 've I finally started to drive more calmly ( and confidently). I also enjoy driving a car more( compared to what I used to think abot driving before). In this case I definitely need to change into a dilligent worker, so that I can buy a car of my own really fast.

    用小飞机飞和我的中国朋友 (和我的中国朋友坐小飞机)

     

    大家好!

    你们都怎么样?我很想告诉你们一个故事了。我有一位中国朋友,他住在上海(我住在鹿特丹)。我在2012年去过上海过,去她的房子过 去过她家。2013过她来我的房子 家了。

     

    注:请注意“过”这个词,一定要放在前面,比如去过……/看过……/品尝过…… 

         house, flat之类的,只要不是说装修,一般都说“家”,而不是“房子”“公寓”

         We often say “我家在公司附近” or “我家上学很近,只用走十分钟” We won't say "我的房子在公司附近"          unless you'd like to emphasize you recently bought a new house, at the location is pretty good.



    当他在我的房子 鹿特丹的时候,我们去过飞机场过,在一家很晓得 小的飞机飞了(坐了一架很小的飞机)。我们都很喜欢坐飞机。当我们飞的时候,我们的世界怎么这么美丽!你能看荷兰的北海,也能看荷兰的农田了!我们也看了一个叫Maas的河流。

     

    注:当你们在自己家的时候,是不可能去飞机场的,所以换个比较大的地方,说鹿特丹就很好。


    谢谢纠正了!                     不客气:)加油!
    拜拜~

    用刚学过的词语回答下面的问题

     

    1.来中国以后,你去过哪些商场?
    老实说我还没去过中国,但是如果我已经去过 去那儿,我当然要去我待在得地方 当地最有名的商场。

     

    说去就行,不用说“已经”。中文在这种情况下通常说将来,而不是过去发生的事。


    2. 你会做菜吗?如果会,请介绍一两个菜的做法。
    我会做几个很容易的菜。我最喜欢做的就是巧克力的蛋糕。
    原料 :
    巧克力一个
    鸡蛋 (你也可以用鸭蛋)两个
    面粉合适质量
    牛奶一杯
    你只需要把牛奶在热一下。然后,把巧克力放在牛奶里,一起煮。最后 然后把巧克力的牛奶跟蛋糕,面粉调匀。最后把原料放在烤箱里考一个小时。

     

    “最后”一般只放在几个并列句子中的最后一项上,所以最后一句可以用“最后”,中间的部分都用“然后”就行。


    3.有的人可以一连几天不吃饭,你能一连很长的时间做什么?
    我会一连很长的时间跟我朋友们去看名胜古迹。

     

    这句有点别扭,一连很长时间做某件事指的是不间断的做某事。比如例子中的可以连着几天不吃饭,也就是这中间他就没吃过饭。但是看名胜古迹不可能每时每刻都在看,中间肯定会休息,所以这句话不很对。

    可以说:我一连几天没上班。(这是真的几天之内从来都没去过公司。)


    4.你们国家过圣诞节吗?去年你在哪儿过的圣诞节?
    去年我在家里跟我家人过的圣诞节。


    5.你觉得在中国半年以后你会有什么变化?
    我觉得我在中国半年以后一定会比现在中文说得好。我也比现在会更好了解中国的文化。


    6.现在你记得的最早的事情是你多大的时候发生的?
    现在我记得的最早的事情是我大概五岁时发生的。or 我五岁时开始记事,(前面那句是对的,但太长啦)那时候,我跟我爸爸去了超级市场买东西。我记得,他卖给我 给我买了一瓶好喝的可乐。

     

    我觉着你中文挺好的,大部分用词都很自然,中文解释如果有我没说明白的地方随时问我。加油~~
