I am a college student from Shanghai,a beautiful&modern city in China.I like collecting postcards,stamps and coins from different countries.especially making friends all over the world. I'm crazy about watching sports matches,too.I am a loyal fan of Liverpool FC. Steven Gerrard is my favourite.In tennis world,♥Novak Djokovic, ♥Kim Clijsters I am learning English and Cantonese now. For English, to be honest, I started my learning journey when I was a child, but my English skills esp the oral part is still not good. So when I found this website for language exchange, I feel so excited. If you are learning Chinese, I am very glad to provide some necessary help. For Cantonese, It has been a very short time since I studied it. I love watching Hong Kong TV Series and listening Cantonese Songs. By watching many Hong Kong news and TV Series, my listening skills improved a lot.Then I can understand the most part of Cantonese when watching. My current target is to strengthen my oral skills. If you are interested in being my language pal, free feel to contact with me!

We worked on vocabulary building by focusing on a new set of phrasal verbs and completing some exercises and a discussion task. It was very nice speaking with you, as always :) Thanks for the lesson!

It was a really nice lesson. You spoke at length about the subject and seem so much more confident now about diving in with the speaking activities. Great work! Thanks for the lesson :)

    many nights in Beijing it seems to me that I am inactive on italki since I registered. I will make some changes in the coming new year. This is the first article in 2015. I just came back from Beijing several days ago and I had a very pleasant journey in Beijing and Shanhaiguan Pass(In Hebei) To be frank, it is almost 2 years after my latest trip in Yunnan. the only difference between these two trip is that we chose to take part in a package travelling but that time we travel alone. Day 1 Went to the Tian An Men Square to watch the flag lowering ceremony When we entered the Tian An Men Square, we should a series of security check .:< I guess it is the protecting measure against terrorist attack. After an hours' wait, standing in the freezing wind, we appreciated the whole ceremony.it lasted about several minutes. Day 2 visited the Forbidden City and Palace Museum So many ancient relics caught my eye,awesome! Day 3 Summer Palace and Yuan Ming Yuan Garden Beijing University Day 4 Great Hall of the People, Chairman Mao memorial hall, the Temple of Heaven these two places are all in the Square, I think they means a lot for every Chinese. Mao,Our former leader, had a great impact on the generations like our father and mother,His body was handled with special ways and put into the glass coffin. My Dad said Mao looked much fatter.. But for me, it is my first time to see this great people in such close distance Day 5 Climbed the Great Wall, Sooo tired.. it is due to the lack of exercise... Visited the Prince Gong Mansion Garden Day 6 Ming Dynasty Tombs Day 7 Shanhaiguan Pass Saw the beginning of the Great Wall which is in the sea what impressed me deeply is the transportation in Beijing. Their underground stations were so old without elevators such as Line 2, Line 1. and the trains were not wide enough, which leads to overcrowded situations whether in rush hours or not.

    Back to campus It is about fortnight since the new semester came. Although I am a junior at college,yet I am still not used to the life living in school. I guess I was indulged in the summer vacation. I notice that my classmates always go to library to study, which makes me feel pressured. Actually, everyone can choose the life style for oneself. It depends on what your career path or life goals. To a large extent, it's up to you. As a junior, I know that it is only 2 years left for me to consider the future life and job goals. It is the last period of time for me to waste, to do what you want to do, even to go to the dream place alone, or watch a live Sports Match or a concert for your favorite stars. Anyway, just enjoy and never let yourself regret.

    哪里有问题吗?(住在上海)

    我住在上海。上海位于中国的南部。上海是一座巨大的城市。上海还有很多特色。由于它的古老以及现代的从古到今的影响力,很多人觉得上海算是中国的金融中心。世界上,上海有着世界上最大的地铁系统。用坐地铁我想去哪儿我就去哪儿。但是,因为我每天不但要上课又要上晚自习,所以我主要在周末的时候出去玩儿。如果我想去逛街,我就去南京路或者五角场,那两个地方都有好多商店。有时候我去散散步到外滩散散步。在外滩上可以看到东方明珠。我觉得东方明珠象征着中国的发展及现代化。我很喜欢上海,因为它有各种各样的饭店,比如说:四川菜、台湾菜、日本菜、韩国菜、新疆菜、新加坡菜,等等。有时候我喜欢去看电影。在上海,你可以看中国电影,比如《归来》或者看美国大片。有一次我去参观了中华艺术馆宫。里面不但有展出中国作品而且还展示其他国家的作品,例如美国的、法国的、韩国的,等等。我也喜欢去一家爵士乐俱乐部。那里不但有外国人并还有中国人。那里很热闹!我很喜欢它的音乐。总之,我特别喜欢上海,因为可以经验感受到很多新的事物。

     

    I think your writing skills is very good!but you need to pay more attention to the usage of punctuations which can sepearate your sentenses and make your sentenses shorter. Actually I guess the sentenses in the compostions above are too long. you can put the comma into the sentenses to make a pause. And “、” is another punctuation to make a pause among words and phrases. One more thing, I noticed you prefer using "有" in your writing, In fact, this word cannot express the meanings accurately,although it is widely used in Mandarin. So you can try to replace it with other specific words. Hope these tips are helpful to you.

     

    Keep going, your Mandarin will be better.

    Do some cleaning My Dad sold the desk this morning. There is no other furniture left in our home but only many cartons. it is really a good idea to handle the old furniture by uploading them online. Just wait for the new furniture. They will be transported in a month.

    Weekend For me, weekends are the holiday full of joy because I can get up late in the morning,do everything what I want to do and enjoy the relaxing time. But the happy hours always vanish much faster than we imagine. Next week will be coming after several hours. I went to the cinema this afternoon to see the newly released movie called Continent. It is the first time Han Han, a famous author in Mainland China, acted as a director. Although I am not a book fan of him, I still go to the cinema for this movie. It is a story about travelling experience of three people.They set out from their hometown with their different aims.Jiang He will go to the west of China to continue his teaching path. Hao Han would like to meet his old pen pal. But so many accidents happened during their journey. On the first day of the journey, their another pal called Hu Sheng lost the touch with them. After that, Hao Han met his pen pal and plan to tell her that he loved girl but the reality was that the girl is his half little sister. Finally, they met liar who stole their car and leave them alone. What impressed me most is the actors' lines in the movies. They caught people's eye and caused a big hit on the social media before I watched it. The director told us the vivid and realistic society by these lines with lots of humors. I cannot remember the English version of lines accurately, but I just try to make a translation depending on my memories. They told us, Only child distinguish right from wrong, but adult just care advantages and disadvantages. I heard of many truths, but I am still not able to spend entire life well. At the beginning, you would like to prove their strengths for thousands of people, but you found it was enough to have one person to understand your mind in the end. This morning, my father did some cleaning and noticed that our old steel mailbox full of ads and postcards. I always thought the postcards sent from overseas got lost on the way because of our post, but finally, I got them accidentally. I guess that it might our postman did it by mistakes. Since I joined in the Postcard exchange, I just learnt many things, something may lose, something may get, disappointments are normal but surprises will come as follows, everything is fair,just keep calm and carry on. It is my first time to write so long text.

    上海-第二天

    今天我们去买手机卡。买这个东西很难,因为我们中文说得不好,但是必须试一试。我们买到两个手机卡,所以现在我们可以打电话和上网了。我们买手机卡的时候我们又去买了交通卡。上海的交通卡比北京贵一点。我们去了东方明珠塔(Dōngfāng Míngzhūtǎ),我们也去了陆家嘴,但是因为这个地方很贵,所以我们不吃了没有在这里吃饭。我们散了一会儿步一下。末后最后,我们座坐地铁返回- 地铁里都的是人,挤做作一团!

     

    Wish you have a nice trip in my hometown. it is said it will be rain in the coming 4 days. Take care!

    This is Life it always rains in Shanghai recently because Shanghai is in the rainy season. My daily life just experienced ups and downs as the weather. Working as an intern in a foreign trade company is a exciting thing for a college student and my colleagues are so nice all, what impressed me most is our humorous supervisor.She maybe is a German,but always in a serious attitude towards work. I still remember her sayings deeply, raining outside but always sunshine in my heart. Maybe the overseas friends are always so optimistic.
