Hello, a girl who wants to practice English with me? :D

I'm at a basic level but I would rather speak now! 

Why do young people in China hurry to get married? (1) [speed writing 1]

In China, getting married at a certain age is not a choice, but an obligation -- to quote a BBC documentary named "Secrets of China", although I didn't like the female host who had been wearing a scornful smile throughout the show, as if she were investigating a civilization far more inferior than her own. Let me get back to my topic. Chinese people are usually under pressure to get married at a certain age, around 30 for men, and 25 for women. If you fall behind the schedule, people around you, even relatives that you see only once a year and neighbors that don't even know your full name, may think you are strange and naturally gain the right to lecture in your face the importance of settling down.

It's no news that young women who are still undergraduate students to go on a blind dates to make sure that they will secure a husband right after they leave college. And "marriage markets", which are places for people to exchange information about potential partners, have sprung up in many big cities, such as Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu. Some marriage markets are set up by individuals, and some by the government. But people that go there are not the singletons themselves, but their parents, desperate to find an eligible daughter or son-in-law amid numerous cards with personal information or even more luckily, to meet the parents of their future daughter- or son-in law on the spot.

Me and the best band in the world 

I love The Beatles. I think they're the best band in the world! Those four guys were so fantastic together. When I talk about their music and I say "I love The Beatles" the people tell me: "oh it's too old!" who cares? They make me feel so good! I don't know how to explain it. I don't like many new songs or musicians. I know there are many great young musicians. And I appreciate them. But I really like the classical more. I have a modest vinyl collection and I have all Beatles' LPs and some solo career's LP, for example: Imagine, Two Virgins, Some Time in NYC, Double Fantasy, Press to play, Band on the run and others.
The first time I listened to the Beatles was when I was just a child. When I grew up I listened to all of  their songs, all of their albums, and learned a lot about them. I read a lot about them. I have books, magazines, photos, pictures on the wall, shirts (some I make myself, I draw and paint on them).I like to play the guitar and sing, but just by myself or to some friends and I like to play and sing Beatles' songs.
Some of the  greatest moments in my life was when I saw Ringo Starr one time, and Paul McCartney three times. They were wonderful shows in Recife and Fortaleza. I can't explain what I felt!
The picture below is one of the best pictures I took. It was in Recife, in 2012.
I think it's so incredible how they recorded almost two albums per year between 1962 and 1970. And every album was an evolution. The next was always much better than the previous. It's easy to see it. Just listen to the albums. I like their voices together make the first voice the second. It's very beautiful. And they were just four guys who wanted play some songs at the ballrooms. I especially like John Lennon and George Harrison. I can't explain why. At the same time I also like Yoko Ono. She's in the Beatles' history. There is no way to change this. Many people say that she was guilty for the end of the band. But I don't see it like this. When John met Yoko he turned into another guy. He wanted to live new situations. He didn't want to be just a beatle anymore. In fact he was so tired as the song "I'm so tired" in the White Album. Some years ago he already asked for "Help!". Yoko arrived and saved him somehow. And John was very happy with her. If was good for him ok. Together they made many things to bring world peace. This was a good thing. I could write much more about Lennon and The Beatles but I'll write about that later. For now "that's all folks" :)

Something About Myself

Hi, I'm Sana and I'm from China. I am going to be a college student starting from September in this year.I have been learning how to paint for 14 years. Fortunately, I got a CAFA offer in June this year. The avatar is drawn by me.
I like painting, writing letters, comics,  listening to rock music and watching figure skating. I spent too much time on painting so I lose a lot fun in other domains. But I still want to learn more skills.
Although I like talking with others in English and am interested in learning English. But I couldn't find a people who want to speak English with me because my friends are not very interested in it, even though they are good at English.
If you want to talk or make friends or discuss how to draw with me, please send me a message.
Also, I can help you with your mandarin.^o^} 

I met an Italian.

Hi everybody! I'm going to tell you a story about how I met an Italian in Valencia. A few weeks ago, I had gone to Valencia (Spain) with my friends. We had rented an apartment in the center of the city. We stayed for two nights, and on the second night we went to a disco. There I met an Italian. He was very nice. He told me he was an architect and that he lives in Turin.
I felt uncomfortable because I don't speak English... I can't express myself in English, and he speaks perfect English.
He was very nice.
Now I have added him on Facebook but I don't know whether I should speak to him because I feel embarrassed but I think I could practice my English with him.

Great! :)

Remember: In English we always use a CAPITAL "I" and not "i" when we talk about ourselves.

I think you should talk to him because I'm sure he will help you a lot.  

5 sentences Can you correct my post please. Many thanks in advance

Hey there!
How are you doing? What's your weather like? Over here, it's become a bit chilly and rainy.
I hope you and your family are doing great.
My son is growing up fast and soon he will be 3 months. He is doing well. He is quite demanding, wanting to be held in my arms all day long. If I want to wake him up I simply put him in his cot. He likes to sleep on top of me.
I am exhausted a bit from sleepless nights. He wakes me up several times a night. He is quite a good calm boy and tends to get agitated when I leave him alone in his cot.

Learning English

I think learning English is very difficult. I've been studying English for the past ten years, from school all the way to university.I thought learning English would be as easy as learning Chinese. But I never seem to remember words and grammar. What am I going to do?

Recently

Recently, I just found out that I had forgotten a lot of things which once impressed me a lot until I saw some pictures by chance. It really sucks. It's time for me to take some notes with the pictures to record life.

Recently, I've been staying at home for several days. I've been doing nothing but watch TV programs. Sometimes, I feel like I have learned something from others' lives. But maybe I need to go out, keep doing sports and experience more then I can really learn something from my own life. So I just stopped worrying  and cheered up. :)

Lately, I've really been wanting to learn oral Korean because I am interested in Korean music, food. What's more, I have met with some people from South Korea, who are really nice. It seems to be a good way to learn more about South Korea by learning Korean. And I hope one day I can go to South Korea myself.
