I have been working as an software engineer for 2 years in Shenzhen, China. I am enthusiastic about helping you with Chinese study. In fact, as a native Chinese speaker, I have very little accent and am confident to say my level of speaking Chinese is far above the average Chinese level. Hopefully, we can be language partners.

    没什么问题这样翻译，even这里直接翻译成“连……”感觉很好，符合中文日常说话习惯。

    The two characters are not the same. Make sure which is the word you want to use.

    为了表述方便，仅列出需要改的地方，下面双引号”“只是为了强调哪些地方做出了修改，括号（）里用于说明更改原因 1）世界很大，“每个人（不同的人 is also Ok）”都有很多不同的…… 2）第二段最后一句：我对认识不同国家的“习俗”很感兴趣。（调整次序和个别词语) 3）最后一段整体不错，个别地方需要稍加改动，如下： 我一次也没去过中国，也从来没坐过飞机，”但“我不怕。（Use proper conjunctions)。我已经收拾”好“了行李箱。

    1）As a native Chinese speaker, I have to say both of your sentences are correct grammartically, but “我回我的家"(or simply “我回家”）is more like what we say every day. If you must know why, there's one possible reason: “回” gennerally means "to go back" and "去“ means "to go"; of course, you can "go to" any "place", including your house, but there's a more appropriate way to say that, which is "回” in Chinese.

    2）I'd say both are correct but their meanings are not exactly the same.

    “请我回答” means "(Someone) asks me to answer...". Let me give you an example, i.e. ”老师请我回答问题“, (The teacher asked me to answer a question). I have to say this example is not very aprropriate since I would use "让” instead of "请“ in daily life, since ”请“ here sounds too polite. However, I hope you know what it means through this example. BTW, I don't think "请我回答” is likely to be used a lot in daily conversations and you probably want to say ”请回答我“ which will be explained later.

    ”请回答我“ simply means "Please answer me". Maybe you can use it when you ask someone a question but they do not reply(Perhaps they didn't here you or whatever).

    希望能帮助到你。

    In fact, both are correct and are commonly used by native speakers. It's hard to say which is more popular. I think people just choose the one they like.

    Basically, “饭店” means an ordinary restaurant and “酒店” means those large and probably ritzy, exclusive or fancy restaurants. Hotel can be translated as "旅馆” or "旅店".The tricky thing is that "酒店" can mean a place to sleep besides the meaning of a restaurant, because they usually have rooms to rest and have their nice canteens(not just for people who live there) and even other entertainment facilities. Therefore, "酒店" are places to eat and to sleep, but going to "酒店" probably means spending more money than ordinary "饭店" or "旅店" or "旅馆".

    我家的城市

    我家所在的城市叫Winchester, 它在英国南部。我住在那儿18年了。我现在住在Southampton。Winchester有有意思的历史，它以前是英国的国都（现在是伦敦）。我在Winchester没有很多朋友，可是现在在Southampton我有一点儿。。。Southampton有非常多中国的大学生，可是他们不是我的朋友，我不知道为什么。。。我觉得中国人不喜欢英国人！那里也有非常多泰国人，他们常常要是我的朋友。。。

    A new member of italki In fact, it was a coincidence that I first know this website. I just watched some videos in YouTube and italki popped up as an ad before the main content of the video I had intended to watch. As usual, YouTube ads always give me surprise. I was fascinated by the italki ad and didn't skip it after 5 seconds. Then I decided to visit the website to have a detailed look at what this website really is. Fortunately, it is the website I have been looking for since in my daily life there are not a lot of native English speakers who can help me with my learning.( I do have foreign English teachers, but they are usually involved in their teaching and don't have much leisure time). I hope and believe that I have chosen the right website to improve my English level.
