上蹿下跳

as far as i can recall,one there was a instant noodle called white elephant,but it's not a brand name. so it won't find a place in international market. in chinese, white elephant doesn't mean anything bad, however,it means big and useless thing in english.

i have to admit i am conventional. it means a lot to me.maybe i should say it's not university educaton that mean a lot to me, but the entry to university. as teachers and partents put in my mind, it's only way i can have a have job;the only i can walk out of my little town to go outside to broaden my horizon. so i had been studing hard to make my way to university. i did it. now time flies. i am in my fourth year and will graduate half a year later. 

hello,romulus. there is no verbe tense in chinese in fact. we just add another character to express the tense. e.g. chi le (吃了） to express that we have eaten something. if we want to say we are going to eat something. i can say "wo jiu yao chi....."i mean there is no chang in the character"chi",but we can also express what we want to say by adding "yesterday, now, or tomorrow‘

Here in China we speak Chinese undoubtedly. We all communicate in Putonghua (mandarin) but there is something I have to emphasize. There are 23pvovinces 、4 directly governed city region、5 autonomous regions and 2 Special Administrative Region.. Most regions in china have their own dialects which are quite difficult to understand with each other .So even we all study mandarin at school age, we all have our own accents influenced by local dialects. Furthermore, in terms of nationality, there are more than 56 minority nationalities besides the Hans (the majority population are the Han nationality). I bet it is no easy task to study their language. As is known to all that English is spoken all over the world. We are taught English in primary school .Unfortunately, as a result of china’s exam-orientation educational system, we students are good at doing paper tests instead of spoken English which is critical to our future career when we are hunting a job.
