What is your Skype ID?

Many international conversational partners use SKYPE to communicate.

I have a [免费的] discussion group which starts at 9:00pm (China time), but we use SKYPE to talk.

Chong Qing Hot Pot

This afternoon I went to the theater to see "Chong Qing Hot Pot." It wasn't bad, but not as good as I thought it would be. If you look at the story carefully, you could find some inconsistencies in this story. I think the most consistent part of this movie is that the story happens in Chong Qing, and the characters then speak the Chong Qing dialect. So many Hong Kong movies are dubbed in mandarin when they are released on the mainland. You don't know how uncomfortable it is when you sit the theater and see Hong Kong people speak mandarin on the screen! Especially when the story happens in Hong Kong!

LET'S BE FRIENDS

I am a student in middle school.
I want to make friends!

Why is there no [noticeable] progress of my English?

I am eager to increase my English level, but it seems to be hard for me, in spite of memorizing new words, reading articles, and trying other methods. Every time I talk to others in English, I can only use same words, so i often ask myself where are my new words? Why can't I prompt myself to use them? Have I forgotten them so quickly?  Why is there no progress?  These issues have confused me for quite a long time.  I am depressed. 

Friends, I would appreciate it if you can offer any effective ways to help me.  Please advise me.

Thank you.

NOTE: Alex, thank you for your honesty.  I noticed a few "mistakes" which have [probably] been taught to you by 中国的英语老师们.  The phrase 'and so on' would not be best used the way you used it.  Remember, before the 逗号 and the 句号 you do not need a space, but after these punctuation marks, you MUST have a space.

'Right up the street' could also mean 'right down the road'.
