Hi, Berneddi!
I failed to go and listen to the student recruitment promotion on Satuaday because my daughter got a fever in no time after I took her to see the movie INTERSTELLAR on the Friday night.
I just wanted to know the truth so On Monday morning I asked the college student who post ADs on Wechat if he earned the 50 Yuan. To my disappointment, he didn't attend it, either. But he told me only a few students successfully applied for the part-time job within a limited short time and most people would like to listen to the report even without the 50 Yuan.
So I was soon aware of that someone might have only spent 50 Yuan publishing a AD on Wechat for the San Francisco University! The AD on Wechat is so cheap!

我特别高兴！谢谢你的回复！你汉语素养高于一般中国人，哪里还apologize？
好的，我不客气了，以后我写了文章就发链接给你，你要是有时间就帮我改吧。
关于wrong place, wrong time与阴差阳错，我赞同你说的。 我英文水平低，不太懂它使用的英文背景，所以找不准它恰如其分的中文。
Dear Jeff,
I’m so happy to hear from you!!
You have already got more attainments in Chinese than common Chinese people, so you need not to say apologize at all.
OK, I’ll directly send you the links for your correction to my essays later on. And you do not have to rush.
As for Wrong Place, Wrong Time and 阴差阳错，I agree with you. Since I have not known a lot about when and where it is used often, my English is not good enough to find the punch of it. But I’ll keep the phrase.
Renae0 votedDecember 2, 20140其实，作者也承认认同这个道理。我们再看一下上面讨论的关于小提琴学生的例子吧。作者说，第一个群体，是最卓越的学生，到了二十岁已经练习了10,000个小时；比较优秀的学生到同样年龄已经练习了差不多约8000个小时，；而未来只能当音乐老师的学生仅练习了差不多约4000个小时（所有的学生都是从5～6岁开始学小提琴的）。其实，这两种水平比较低逊色的学生中，还有很多被称为优秀的音乐家，而且教授们认为学生他们都会拥有足够的能力来当胜任音乐老师。这样看，虽然他们不算音乐精英者，但他们已经达到了比较高级的音乐水平。
无论要学哪种语言，你肯定必须经过很辛艰苦的练习才能达到高级水平。但是我并不认为达到这那个目标需要10,000个小时那么长的时间。我自己的看法是，经过2000～3000个小时的语言学习 （等相当于三或四年大学级水平的课程学习），你就可能会有足够的能力来满足个人生活和事业的需要，而自己也会得到很多自我满足收获很多。

Dear Nathan,
你的文章写得真好！稍微改一下就能发表了。加油！

0 votedDecember 2, 20142（continued) 我不同意把语言学到高级的水平一定需要10,000小时，是因为作者写的10,000小时的标准是针对一个行业的精英阶层而构造的。所称谓的“精英”阶层，指的是一个行业最优秀，、最有创造力的人员。，如作者提出的例子所例举的包括Bill Gates和Steve Jobs （电脑编程师），、The Beatles （音乐家），、职业运动员，、象棋大师，和以及在Carnegie Hall 上台演出的音乐家。通过他的研究，作者发现，这些天才都至少经过至少10,000小时的训练才达到他们现在的水平。
我想，大家一定会承认不否认，这些人代表着电脑编程，、音乐，、体育，和象棋的精英阶层。但是读者经常注意不到的是，虽然他们比不上这些精英的人，世界上还有很多很多比较普通，虽然比不上那些精英，但是水平比较高的职业人。普通的编程师，虽然他们也许没有足够的能力创造一个新的电脑系统，但他们还可以靠能力赚钱。普通的音乐家，虽然他们没有资格在Carnegie 上台表演，但他们的音乐还是很好听的很。不管是在哪个行业，虽然你可能比不上行业里最优秀的那些人员，但这个并不表示你自己的水平不高。0 votedDecember 2, 20140- I have been Thinking of a Turkey Today 我今天一直在想着火鸡 2 感恩节(gǎnēnjiē) 被(bèi)…所(suǒ) 越来越(yuèláiyuè)… 熟知(shúzhī) 一早(yìzǎo)就(jiù)… 微(wēi)信(xìn) 发(fā) 张(zhāng) 图片(túpiàn) 看到(kàndào) 惊奇(jīngqí)地(dì) 虽然(suīrán)…但(dàn) 大多数(dàduōshù) 家庭(jiātíng) 只是(zhǐshì)…才(cái) 购物(gòuwù) 打折(dǎshé) 意识(yìshí) 过节(guòjié) 年轻人(niánqīngrén) 俱乐部(jùlèbù) 经常(jīngcháng) 参加(cānjiā) 活动(huódòng) 举行(jǔxíng) 派(pài)对(duì) 希望(xīwàng) 外甥女(wàishēngnǚ) 少(shǎo)留(liú)一点(yìdiǎn) 作业题(zuòyètí) 带(dài)着(zhe)女儿(nǚér) 过节(guòjié) 据说(jùshuō) 主持人(zhǔchírén) 来宾(láibīn) 祷告(dǎogào) 餐(cān)前(qián) 准备(zhǔnbèi) 超市(chāoshì) 很(hěn)少见(shǎojiàn) 尝(cháng)上(shàng)…了(le) 如果(rúguǒ)…那(nà) 惊喜(jīngxǐ) 一直(yìzhí)没(méi)断(duàn)了(le)… 克隆(kèlóng) 一(yī)版(bǎn) 万圣节(wànshèngjiē) 糖果(tángguǒ) 骷髅(kūlóu) 装饰(zhuāngshì) 南瓜(nánguā)灯(dēng) 甚至(shènzhì) 俩(liǎng)老外(lǎowài) 纠正(jiūzhèng) 万(wàn)分(fēn)感(gǎn)激(jī) 浏(liú)览(lǎn)November 27, 201411
- I have been Thinking of a Turkey Today 我今天一直在想着火鸡 I have been thinking of a turkey today Today is Thanksgiving Day that is known by Chinese better and better. This early morning when someone sent a picture in Wechat saying Happy Thanksgiving, my classmate in the American asked in surprise, ‘Do you also celebrate the Thanksgiving Day there?’ Yeah, we do celebrate the western festivals among youth clubs in Beijing though most families are only aware of them while they are shopping and get the discounts. I often participate in the activities in an English club. This weekend they will hold a big party to celebrate the Thanksgiving Day. I hope my niece will leave me fewer problems then I can take my daughter to join the celebrating. It is said the host will teach the attendants to pray in English just like western people do before dinner. I don’t know if they will prepare a turkey, and I think it be more exciting if we can taste that kind of special food. However, Turkeys never show in our common supermarkets. If a Chinese in Beijing taste a turkey on the Thanksgiving Day, it would be a great surprise. So I have not stopped thinking of a turkey. Last time the club did copy a real cerebrating for Halloween as abroad. There were candies, skeleton and black cat decorations, pumpkin Jack o’lanterns, etc., even two foreign guys! And this time why wouldn’t be a turkey for surprise? Any part of correcting in English will be highly appreciated. Thank you for your time. 我今天一直在想着火鸡 今天是感恩节，它已经被中国人所越来越熟知。今天一早就有人在微信中发了张“感恩节快乐”的图片，我在美国的同学看到，惊奇地问：“你们那也过感恩节吗？” 是的。虽然北京大多数家庭只是在购物被打折时才意识过节，但年轻人的俱乐部里是过西方节日的。我经常参加一个英语俱乐部的活动。这个周末他们会举行一个感恩节派对。我希望我外甥女这周末给我少留一点作业题，我好带着女儿去过节。 据说主持人会教来宾用英文祷告，像西方人餐前做的那种。我不知道他们会不会准备火鸡。火鸡在我们这的超市很少见。如果一个中国人感恩节在北京尝上火鸡了，那一定是个大惊喜。 所以今天我就一直没断了想火鸡。上次俱乐部真的克隆了一版国外万圣节，有糖果、骷髅和黑猫装饰、南瓜灯等等，甚至还有俩老外！这次为什么不能来个火鸡的惊喜？ 任何英语纠正，我都会万分感激。谢谢浏览！November 27, 201430
