Hi, long time no see It had been a long time to leave italki. These days I occupied myself with driving test and job interviews. Yes, interview. I decided to resign and change my job. And now, I got a new job in finacial industry. That's a really challenging job for me. Hope I could do it better and better. Then, let me tell you something about the terrible driving test. I don't know is it difficult to get drive license in foreign countries, but it's difficult in China, in my hometown. There are four steps to get drive license. First step, you should prepared an exam for basic traffic regulations. That let me wait for about 2 months. Then you could go on to the second and tird steps. At that time, you will have a coah to teach you driving. I passed my second step one week ago, that spent me two month to wait for a qualification to join the test. But unfortunatelty, I have to wait another two month to learn the tird item. Chinese drive learners always too much. That not the end. I must keep on my mind to waiting for the fourth step maybe one month later or longer. Waiting, waiting, waiting...That made me crazy!

English food Yesterday, I learned something about English food. Actually, I never heard anything about English food before, but after this class, I could talk something about that. They have two national dishes, one is fish&chips, the other is yorkshire pudding. In our mind, yorkshire pudding should be a kind of pudding, but that doesn’t ture, it’s kinda bread. In England, there are nothing special for lunch and dinner, but they have big breakfast and delicate desserts. That sounds great! Through the introduction, I think I don’t like English food very much, because that tastes light. I like spicy food, beside seafood. Crabs, oysters and mussels are the several kinds of seafood which I like most. If you travel to England, you would never miss it! What’s more, chicken A la King looks like delicious very much. The teacher told us how to cook it. That sounds very simple, I will have a try to cook it sometime.

Is it ture to say 'snack street'? A word to describe a street that sold full of delicious snacks. Is it right to use 'snack street'? Somebody told me that you can say 'bazaar'. When I search the internet, it told me bazaar means a kind of department store? But maybe I can't translate it in English well. Thank you!

Different between 'backed', 'grilled', and 'roasted', and a phrase 'Jack-of-all-trades' Last night, I learned some new knowledge that I never heard before. 1.Look at this sentence: I like baked bread, grilled tomatoes and roasted darks. Actually, ‘backed’, ’grilled’, and ‘roasted’ have the same meaning in Chinese. But when you speak English, you should be clear what time you should use ‘grilled’ but not the others. 2.It’s a phrase ‘Jack-of-all-trades’ When you use this phrase in a sentence, it’s to say that the people is in many professional talents. But when you use ‘Jack of all trades, master of none’, it is able to describe a person who learned to do a large of difficults, but he is not focus on doing any thing.

My homework—Conversation A: Hello, B, that looks like a dilicious salad. B: Thank you. Actually, it is. A: What has it got in it? B: En, I cheated. I bought a pre-packaged lettuce and foods, and some leftover last night, but that tasted not so bad. There were bacon, vegetables, and some grilled vegetables in it. Then I used salad, olive oil, and vinegar for dressing. A: Wow, you are a bit of a cook. I don't know is it right，but you enjoy the progress of preparing food. B: Yes, I think so. I would never call myself a cook, but I like eating lovely food. A:Well, so, are you often go out for dinner or eat at home or something else? B: I could not afford eat outside too often right now, but i am willing to eat out every now and then. A: If you had 100 dollers, you can go any restrant, of all the restrants in the world, where would you want to go? B: I think I'd like to eat very expensive Sushi, to eat lovely food. A: Anything else? What's for dessert? B: Oh, I don't know, maybe I would like to go to a fancy restrant, buy a 20 dollers' dessert or something similar, if there has that kind of dessert. I‘m not sure, maybe creme brulee. That's one of my favourites. A: Creme brulee? What's that? B: Enn, we should ask our Franch friends what that is. What does it mean? Creme brulee? I don't know, but lovely! A: Is it ice cream or cream? B: En, what's that? That is a dessert. Use heat gun for processing egg and milk, it will harden the suger, then it is full of creme brulee inside. If you can understand, that is really lovely. Excellent! A: That sounds great. B: Yeah. A: You have to find a French man, then let him in the kitchen. B: I must find someone in the kitchen. A: Good luck. Thank you for chating with me. B: Okay. See you next time.
