Go to English corner

Attending English corner

Earlier today, I attended an English corner session which was staffed by 2 foreign English teachers.

Everyone were given a topic about work.

Our assigned topic was "The world of work".

Teachers' words took up most of time.

The majority of the session was consumed by teachers' words.

when we talked about the work topic,we all don't know which kind of things should talk to.

When we discussed work, many of us were unsure of what to say.

If there is a great view that we can speak to foreign teachers all the time?

对不起，我不明白。 Mail me and I will correct the above sentence.

A short letter

Dear Sir / Madam,

As a regular library user, I feel deep gratitude to you for rendering me convenient service.

As a regular user of your library, I thank you for providing such an excellent service (I am in your debt).

I am writing this letter in the purpose of offering some conducive recommendations to upgrade the quality of your service.

Though it is with a heavy heart that I am writing this letter as I feel there are a few changes (iron out the kinks, if you like) you could make, that would enhance the customer service experience for all.

Firstly, a great many students raise such an issue, which is that it is a waste of time in that the lines waiting for assistances are always long.

While the service desk is excellent, the queues are far too long (many of my peers are of the same opinion). Perhaps another automated return point or an on line system allowing you to extend renewal dates.

Secondly, there are always some students discoursing regardless of others’ feelings so that it has a negative impact on the atmosphere of the library.

Consequently, it is better for you to take some measures or publicize the character of politeness to people to reverse this disturbing trend.

Also the incessant chattering of a few (one rotten apple, ruins the barrel) students who seem to have little regard for other library users, this has an adverse effect on the ambiance of the library.  May I suggest an electronic notice board (with users limited to N numbers of post per day) whereby other users could request a certain person or group refrain from talking.

I wish you will find my proposals useful to you. Your prompt attention to my suggestions would be highly appreciated.

I would be extremely grateful if you could consider some of my proposals, should you require my assistance with any of the above, please call.

Yours sincerely, (Yours faithfully [with a name you can be sincere, otherwise you have to be faithful])
Li Ming

I have some questions

A few Questions

I have been learning English quite awhile now, though I am not satisfied with my progress (especially spoken).

I want to know the Chinese and English which one is difficult as a second language ?

Chinese or English,  I wonder which one is more difficult to acquire as a second language.

People who learn Chinese is the same like me learn English?

I wonder if second language learners of Chinese encounter the same issues that I do.

To be honest i think Chinese is difficult for a Chinese.

Honestly, I believe English is challenging for a native Chinese speaker.

First Snow

First Snowfall (this year)

It is raining very heavily (cats and dogs) in Beijing at the moment.  It is cold enough for the rain to turn (morph) into snow tonight. Beijing could be a sea of white tomorrow. Sweet dreaming or not (depending if you like snow or not).

No theme

It has been a while since I have written anything regarding my life.

Because there don't some interesting things in my oridany life.

Because nothing really interesting seems to be going on in my life (kind of ordinary, if you like) just routine day to day stuff happening.

I have been finding a suitable work try my best at these days.Unfortunately, I didn't find a right job in my favourite cityI

I am looking for work that is most suited to my current skill set, regretfully I haven't found my dream job in my desired location.

I always think I know well some professional skills are very little. But life is still continuing, I can't give up find a satisfactory work.

I feel my skill set may be slightly lacking (professionally speaking). Alas, I must soldier on (chin up, best side out and all that). I will not give up on finding my dream job.
