Hello there, I come from a small country located in Southeast Asia called Malaysia and I suppose it's known for the KLCC twin towers. I've lived in three different cities in Malaysia. My name is Nadya, though I'm known as Nana and I'm currently studying for a Bachelors (Hons.) in Communication (Advertising), minoring in journalism. I enjoy reading fantasy and watching anime. I've recently participated a program, JENESYS 2.0 last year and traveled to Kitakata, Fukushima in Japan for 10 days. I was instantly intrigued and honestly admired the Japanese and their ways so I find myself wanting to learn more about their language. Well, I'm looking for friends to talk to and to help me improve on my Japanese. I'm a complete beginner, hoping for some guidance. So, どうぞよろしくおねがいします！Pleased to meet you :)

    1. I am always studying, flipping through my index cards while I walk around the city. Index cards are small cards that have little notes to help you remember and is a tool used for studying. The speaker is saying that he/she is always studying even when walking around the city. 2. Where am I getting the brain space to store these words? This is a rhetorical question (a figure of speech) that's not meant to be taken literally (there's no answer to the question, it is supposed to get a message/idea across) If I were to rephrase it, the speaker is saying "How am I supposed to remember all these new words?" 3. I am exhausted by the cumulative consequences of a life time of nasty choices and chaotic passions It roughly states that the speaker is tired of the consequences (the bad outcome/result) that was growing because of the bad choices they made in life.

    Go to university or not? (University: to go or not to go)

    Hey there. I'm almost 16, and I live in Ukraine. In my country, after school graduation, people almost always go to university. I'm finishing my school next year (I am about to graduate from high school). So far as I am, I’ve not chosen my future profession yet and also I don't feel that studying at a university is something that I need right now. I've studied at school for 10 years, I’m a bit tired of it. (I’m not complaining) I just want to try something new, work, earn money, travelling but not spending time sitting at the desk again.
    Do people in your country always go to universities after school?
    Do you think it's right?
    And if you've finished studying at a university, does it helps you in your life?

    <em>Hi there,</em>

    <em>Some people get the opportunity to enrol into a university, some don't. I know a few people who can't afford it and they have to work harder than ever. My mother had never attended university though and she's doing well. In today's day and age, I think university is important though. A degree can get you into the profession you want but it's up to you on how you want to achieve your dreams and aspirations.</em>

    <em>Hope it helps :)</em>

    My Speaking IELTS test (Oral test?)

     

    Please excuse my English! ;))
    Every time I try to excel in my Speaking test, I experience failure. I cannot overcome my shyness (shyness is acceptable but bashfulness is preferable) to talk freely. Several days ago, I went to Kiev to take my exam and I had hoped that this time, I'll at least get 6. But in the end, my attempt was futile - I am a very poor speaker and I expect my marks will be low again.

     

    <em>Not bad! Don't let yourself down. You have a good grasp on grammer, you just need to widen your vocabulary.</em>

    <em>I wish you luck on your test! :)</em>

    Rambling 1 Hello there! My name's Nadya. Though my friends call me Nana. I've been told that it means the number seven in Japanese, so I've gained the nickname, 'Lucky 7'. I've recently enrolled into a Language school and am taking beginner's lessons in Japanese. To be quite honest, it's been great and I've slowly picked up a few phrases but it seems that I still need a little help with the sentence structure. I attend classes every Monday and Thursday night. My assignments have taken priority over my attempts to learn the new language and my proficiency test is in two weeks. I love the English language. I make mistakes like any other person and it's my first language. Really, when I helped proof-read a friend's assignment a little over a year ago (He's in the UK), I was a little (understatement) intimidated by the bombastic and elaborate words used to describe his thesis. So I suppose my own grasp of the English language has some room for improvement. I usually enjoy writing fanfiction on my free time too. I think that's all the rambling I can do in a day so I'll just end it here. Thank you for reading my entry and I hope there aren't not too many mistakes. Until next time!
