My Favorite Teacher

As a quote goes: ''A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence will stop". The teacher I admire the most is my literature teacher. Her nam is Loi. She is not very tall. Her ageShe is around 45 to 50 years of age.She has a vast knowledge of literature, history and art. For me, she is the most thoughtfulinspiring person in my life who inspires me a lot. She is so very kind-hearted and passionate that she always and try tries to instill a love of for words and languages to in all of us. Moreover, she has a her great sense of humor, a sweet voice, and a warm heart that all contributes to the success of her teaching and lesson lessons. Every lesson is one of her lessons is so interesting and enthralling. Besides passing on knowledge, she also teaches us how to be a good persongood people, -- qualificationsties that are needed for our later life. In every one of her lessons of her, she always teaches us to be tolerant, constant consistent and benevolent. AltogetherTo sum it up, she is the best teacher I have ever had and I will always remember to what had been what she has taught me.

First day on italki

I signed up with italki today and I am a fresh user. There are a lot of things I should learn, such aslike how to connect with the people I meet here. I think it's a good chance to make good friends from all over the world here. I like to learn finding out about different cultures and listening to the stories about lives that I have no chance to live.

As for me, I am a native Chinese. I grew up in China and I have been to Greece. My hobby is Chinese Guzheng and Chinese Calligraphy (if you know the old characters written with a writing brush). China has a long history and colorful culture. If you want to know more about China, I'd like to talk to you/with you about it. We can exchange the ideas offrom different cultures.

Finally, I hope to make good friends here and improve my English skills as well. If oneday you travel to China one day or I travel to your country., Wewe can be each other's tourist guides.

All the best! wishes.

Cinderella

I watched the film "Chinderella" with my two daughters. I was so moved by it to it so much.
Why is the colour of the dress which Cinderella wears clean blue, and not white?
I was thinking about the reason after watching the film yesterday and an idea struck me light bulb went off for me this morning.
Blue is bluethe colour of the beautiful earth and the symbol of water. We could feel relieved to see the ocean.
That is why we must have been inspired by blue of the Cindrella's blue dress on the screen moves and inspires us.

My first day in this place

Good afternoon, this is my first step in improving to improve my English. I must do it because I want to work in an important company here in Costa Rica. Since I don´t have contact with English speakers here, and that´s why I need to use these kinds of sites (plural).

My Concern

Since I made English-speaking friends who speak English, I've had a concern. It's how to reply when on chatting.
For example, if my friend says, "I went to Tokyo and bought lots of things!" I always just say "That's cool!!!"Furthermore One more example, if my friend says, "I met a famous comedian!" and I always say, "wow reallyyyyyyyyyyyy?"

"cool!" "awesome" "Really" "Wow" "OMG" "Great"

These words are very useful for replying, but when I use them words to reply, I feel bad. I feel like I cannot reply well. I want to be able to reply in say more words, but I can't! I can say more if it's in Japanese, but i don't know why , when i speak in English, I can't do it in English. so sSometimes, I use consonants and vowels continuously, like "wooooooooooow" and "reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy", to show my reactions well, but I still feel bad. It feels like a robotic reponse. I am a robot.

If you have any ideas for or tell me good response words, I would be very glad to know them. And I also hope that someone corrects my English! Thanks!
