类似的字。 Common words

很和一些有用的话（词语）。

所以我天天写短语, 它这可以帮助我知道（you can also say 了解）新的话（词语）,它也帮助我学习语法.。( in some situation you can translate" this ‘ into “它”，but in this sentence it's much better to be translated into " 这“，’cause it refers to the thing that you write short texts.) not sure if you understand.

平时我写只短只写一些小想法。
我注意到饿文俄语和中文有很一点些类似的字。
例如字 "天" 是 “dien’ ”, 英文的字 “white” 和中文的字 “白”是也类似的。 它这是有趣的，但是大概（you can also say 虽然/不过 有可能）只是巧合。

In textbooks I often see a lot of useless words, and a little useful words.
This is why I write short texts everyday, this helps me to know new words and to learn grammar. Usually I write just short thoughts.
I noticed that there is a few similar words in Russian and Chinese languages. For example word “tian” is “dien’ ”, English word “white” is similar to Chinese word “bai”. This is very interesting, but probably just coincidence.

Generally, I’m absolutely not sure if it’s possible to use 它 as a translation of English “this” as I do it in this text. Could you please clarify it to me?
Any help is appreciated. Huge thanks to everyone!

回家的感觉真好

我昨晚从外地回到家了，以前在这之前我带了我亲戚们玩儿了一个星期。这是他们第一次来到中国。我当了他们的翻译，说实话，一起切都很顺利。我们在大连和青岛玩了一个星期。他们的感想，行为，还有反应很像第一次给小朋友第一次吃糖一样，没想到天(底)下有那么好吃的东西。吃了它之后他的概念永久改变了。我亲戚对中国也有这种的想法。上个星期一晚上我从武汉出发了，后来我在北京接了他们。我们的旅游主题就是啤酒。我带了他们去中国出生产啤酒的城市，第一座是大连，为了参加大连国际啤酒节，然后我们坐了船到第二座，青岛。中国最有名的啤酒来源 产地。除了啤酒以外，我们也吃到各种各样的海鲜：螃蟹、蛤喇，鱿鱼，大虾等。他们吃的不停不停地吃，仿佛爱上中国烹饪的手法，提特别是青岛的螃蟹。我们每天都吃螃蟹，好像我(一)说到螃蟹，他们的口水就出来了。一个亲戚吃螃蟹时亲口向我说，我根本不能回国，没想到世界上有那么好吃的东西。就算他们仅仅跟我在中国一起仅仅玩了一个星期，他们说了中国是他们最喜欢的国家之一。而且保证明年将再过来看我。老实说，他们根本不想看我，他们就想吃到青岛的螃蟹。

Hey, your Chinese is excellent! :)

一篇短文 / A Short Article

大家好。因为已经很久以来我用中文写一篇短文，<em>因为已经很长时间没有用中文写过文章了，</em>所以我今天傍晚<em></em><em>我今晚</em>想写一个<em>篇</em>，练习一点儿<em>稍微练习一下（it's better to say in this way）</em>。
最近，我的生活没有特别大的变化：我觉得好像久<em>要</em>等到今年九月。从这个时候开始，我上大学了。<em>那时候，我就上大学了。</em>在那儿，我会主修普通话和经济。而且，我不仅会和新朋友们一起玩儿、 一起喝酒，还会一个人住在我自己的房租<em>租的房子里（房租是名词n.对应英文里的rent）</em>。我期待学生的生活<em>（我非常期待我的大学生活，this is kindda better）：</em>不但不必很早起床、不必去上班谋生，而可以随时打盹儿、时间足够会看不少书<em>有充足的时间阅读大量的书</em>，当然是中文的让我的中文进步，<em>（this is not that fluent in Chinese，so you can say因为它们可以帮助我提高我的中文水平。）</em>看不少书这个东西是一个非常重要的方面让语言手法进步，我很期待。<em>（这一句话的语序需要调整一下，所以你可以这样说</em> <em>”</em> <em>我很期待阅读大量的书籍，因为我认为这是提高语言能力的一个很重要的方面“）</em>我非常喜欢看中文书。（<em>我</em>)当前正在看的就是一本在我的<em>我在</em>童年当中的<em>时</em>候看过的书， —查理和巧克力工厂。<em>（我现在正在看的是一本我在童年时就看过的书—查理和巧克力工厂。）</em>即使这本书有比较多<em>很多</em>我不认识的汉子<em>字</em>，我得写下这些汉字记住，<em>（并且为了记住这些字，我要把它们给写下来才可以)，可</em>我也还是喜欢看。 

hi，Laurence，you did an excellent job! Actually, i am pretty impressed by your Chinese！all you need to do is pay attention to your organizing these sentences to make them more natual and fluent. since it seems like that dropbox doesn't work in China, i can't give you any advice on your pronunciation,i am really sorry, but if you have any chance to use wechat or skype, you can add me. @wechat zihanN1 or @skype ginastylee 

谢谢大家，请你们告诉我你对我的发音的想法。

Hey guys, since it's been a long time since I wrote an article in Chinese, I want to write one this evening to practise a little. Recently, there haven't been any particularly large changes in my life. I feel like I'm just waiting until September. In will start university this September. At university, I will major in Mandarin and business. In addition, I won't only be able to to have fun with lots of new friends and drink together, I will also live by myself in my own place. I'm really looking forward to university life – not only will I not need wake up really earn in the mornings and not go to work to earn a living, I will be able to nap whenever I want to, and I'll have enough time to read lots of books. The books will, of course, be in Chinese as I they will help my improve my Chinese. I'm really looking forward to reading lots of books, it's a very important aspect in improving one's language skills. I really like reading Chinese books. At the moment I'm reading a book that I read during my childhood, it's called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Even though there are quite a few characters that I don't know and I have to write them down in order to remember them, I still enjoy reading it.

Thanks, and please tell me your thoughts about my pronunciation. (I have listened back to it and can tell that I still sound foreign in some parts. Please be critical and strict with your comments, it's the only way I'll improve)

我的中文背景

大家好！我叫卫俊涛。我在BYU-Idaho上大学。我的辅修是中文。<em>我辅修中文。</em>我上个星期三上过每个在大学中文课。在大学里面上了每一节(所有的)中文课。可是，我的中文能力还流利。但<em>是，我的中文能力还不是很高。(notes:能力只有高低之分，不能说流不流利的。或者你也可以说成是我的中文还不是很流利。)</em>我写的话<em>我写的句子</em>有语病。我说话的时候有语法的问题。我的中文老师也说，“你说中文的时候有西班牙文的口音。” 我笑得黑黑。<em>我嘿嘿地笑了</em>

度假生病

兩個月前，我出去國外玩. 不長時間，<em>没多长时间，</em>我著了咳嗽和凉。<em>我就着了凉并且有点咳嗽。</em>我的喉嚨痛了，不但，<em>有点痛，但是，</em>我沒有覺得暈. 我也沒有發燒。最好<em>幸好</em>我媽在書包裏打爆<em>带了（打包）</em>了藥。我每天忠實<em>按时</em>地吃藥。可是，我還在生病。幾天后，幾星期后， 我還在生病。到回家后，我還在生病。兩個星期到家后，<em>到家两个星期以后，</em>我得到了醫治。 <em>我的病才好了。</em>
