Hello there, My name is 金竹 Jinzhu(" /Gin-Jui/ "), you can call me Jamie if you prefer. I am the founder of a Mandarin Chinese training school in Guangzhou, China. My school is called Jamie's Mandarin. You might ask, can a businesswoman be a good teacher? Certainly yes! I have been teaching Chinese as a second language since 2013 with a certification by Confucius Institute 国际对外汉语教师资格证. Now my school has been growing organically with 4 teachers. We have a lot more diversified programs for beginners to advanced Chinese. What differentiate us from other is what I call positive learning experience. Starting from me to other teachers, we care about you and want to connect with your learning. When you book a class, it will be with me directly. At the moment, I am trying to learn German.

    台湾的旅游

    五月我从北京去了台湾。北京的(空气)污染和压力让我觉得很累,所以我决定了去别的地方休息几天。组织出行的时候,我只想离开北京几天,就好。没想到,台湾会这么好。
    我世界上我最喜欢的地方都充满有漂亮的(也许“丰富的”会更好?)自然景观。我听说台湾特别绿色环保,但我发现了这个岛超过了我的预期。从台北市到山顶都有大树,风景好像绿色的海。(我很喜欢你这里的比喻^) 

    第一夜我爬了象山,以便看到台北的夜灯。为了看到台北的夜景,第一夜我就去爬了象山。虽然山顶的人多,但那里的气氛轻松,让我缓解最近收集的压力。从山顶上看,台北真的是个美丽的城市。

    除了风景之外,在象山上我能听到好久不见的声音:动物。有时候我觉得北京几乎没有动物。有时候我在天空上只看到过一只鸟,我为那个只小动物感到难过。 我们人类毁灭了他 它赖以生存的青蓝色的天空,强迫他它呼吸不合适的空气。不过,台湾的动物不用管担心危险的空气。这样一来,台北充满了自然生活的声音,连在城市里,我也看到了像我手一样大的宠物,跟人类在一起很高兴地逛街。我承认,假如那个人看得到他附近的小朋友,他大概就对那个巨大的宠物感到不太友好。

    还有一个想去台北的原因其中是,和好久不见的朋友见面。很多别的从利兹大学来的学生都在台北学习,到台北去旅游提供了跟他们又一次谈话碰面的机会。更幸运的是,那个星期有一个朋友过生日。因此,我不仅在一个地方又一次和很多朋友见面,而且可以祝贺庆祝一个幸福的活动。

    我特别享受台湾,未来,我想能回去探索没去过的郊区 地方,比如台湾的南方。虽然在台湾玩儿的得好,可是我现在禁不住感到不太高兴。一年前,大学给了我很丰富的多选择:在三个城市其中,我可以选择一个地方在那里上学一年学。之前我觉得决定了北京最好,现在我发现了台北一定才是最好的选择。



      From Jamie: 我不想改变太多你的原句,因为我觉得“原创”最重要,每个人都有不同的表达方式 :)我想解释一下有几个地方我改的原因:

    ”充满“一般都是和抽象的东西搭配:  充满xx渴望、充满激情、充满xx能量。 自然景观/景色是实物,我们不用充满来表达。

    ”绿色“ 在中文里只是一种颜色,没有英文green as green nature 的意思

    ”丰富“ 和”很多“都是多的意思,很多人都容易混淆。你可以说东西/知识/经验/种类/活动 丰富;选择/人/钱等是多。东西/种类/活动也可以用多来搭配。


    希望有帮助,cheers

    换
    我想用*我的美元换人民币。
    I'd like to exchange my US dollars for Chinese Yuan.

    *用 yong4, to use. 想 is a modal verb so you need to use a real verb after it. By the way, I'd ease your "我的" becuase you already have the subject "I", so you dont need to say "mine" again unless you mean other's money.


    须
    这只手表我必须*要买!
    I must buy that watch!

    *必须bi4 xu1 is the full form of "have to" and "Need"


    差
    你的办法,差不多对*了吧。
    Your solution is almost right.

    You miss to say the chinese word for "right". ^.^

    我家 (my family)

    我家有五口人 : 妈妈,爸爸,两个姐姐和我。

    <em>*口 kou3</em>

     

    Reason is that, Kou口 is the measure word for family members; 

                          Ge个 is the measure word for general case. I.E., one person, 一个人; one classmates一个同学Tong Xue

                         another measure word for people, is 位 (wei4). It is used in polite situations. I.E., 一位老师,One teacher ;这位领导 "This leader"

    introduction (介绍)

    你好,我叫Cecily。我是英语老师。 我是美国人. 我来自美国旧金山湾区。

     

    <em>I hate to correct student's writing too much but this way put two sentences into one do sounds better and more like local Chinese.</em>

    Question: if Chinese people adopt English names, could I get a Chinese name? How would I choose it?

    谢谢
    Xièxiè

     

    I agree with Charlies and Zoey's ideas about your name. Another suggest I would like to give to you is that ask your Chinese friend who knows you and propose you Chinese name with better meaning.  Like, a student of mine is called 风雅 which means "Elegant Wind", her English name is Clare and yet her personality is very much like the name. ))
