Blue Monday?
Today is Monday. For me, it is the first working day and a normal weekday. My heart is quite peaceful.
In my work, I found a it looked my colleague looked like have had a stomach ache. I asked: "Is it because of blue Monday ?" She answered: "Yes! I felt feel very stressed!" I replied: "Wow! I never think it is experience blue Monday. I always think that I can look at my lovely pupils. I can teach them, play with them. Teaching career have been bringing brings me a varied life. I like it! I enjoy it! So, Monday for me, just working day, it is not blue at all!" After heard hearing my thoughts, my coworker said: "I love your positive thinking! Really bright!"
In my view, work itself is neutral. If you are unemployed for a long time, you will very desired want to attain a job. If you have worked very areexhausted and got an get extremely low pay, you may want to quit. But, work included s tough and satisfied sides. We need to use our intelligent and positive attitudes to conquer any challenge! And, face everyday joyously! HaHa!0 votedSeptember 24, 20171How Lucky I Am.
I am in Morocco. I sometimes consider how lucky I am, because I can afford to buy a lot of items here, which are very cheap in comparison with Japanese items. Japan is still well-know as the a wealthy country. Here is another example.:A Japanese passport is worth travelling with. I can be am allowed to travel to many countries without a VISA compared to other countries, while Moroccan people cannot.
Aside from our currency and passports, I watched a documentary video of a young North Korean man two days ago. I have thought deeply about human rights since then. I think I am quite lucky, because I can do many incidents things.
So, I will keep on studying other languages. This is one solution that we understand each other except for our backgrounds in my opinion.0 votedDecember 26, 20161About Friends

0 votedDecember 26, 20160- 手机依赖症 我今天在BBC的网站看一篇文章关于人们的手机依赖症。那篇文章写着的记者采访各种各样矽谷公司的总统问他们的手机习惯怎么样。有的总统回答说他们每时每刻都盯着手机上。如果他们手机铃声响了他们的目光一下子集中他们手机上。我觉得这是比较可怜的情况因为这个现场表达人们对手机过瘾的规格。可是有的总统已经结了他们用智能手机。对他们来说，之所以他们有休闲的机会是因为同事不能跟他们下班的时候沟通。这个决定给他们带来花样的好处。他们那段下班的时间逃避他们工作的事情。最近科学家的研究证明更多休闲的时间让他们更刻苦热情的工人。手机依赖症不但上升人们的压力，而且让人们认为他们生活是没有意义恴。他们的逻辑是比较简单的：虽然能手机弄他们生活方便很多，但是他们面对面联系的机会越来越少。我觉得那个调查证明人们更喜欢正确的沟通，可是使用手机又方便又便宜。那个调查的结果也影响我的生活。我希望在未来能戒我手机依赖症，要不然我会每时每刻都靠着我手机沟通。December 26, 201670
The story about the cat, Dewey
This is my first English book-DEWEY.
Dewey is a cute cat raised up by a librarian.
There was a server cold winter,
Dewey was abandoned in a returning book box for at least one day. When a lady went to work in the next morning, Dewey almost died due to the cold weather.
After their attentive care,
Dewey survived and to be became more active!
Everyone in that town all know there a chief librarian, cat Dewey who always there and accompany with them. Everyone in the town knew the chief librarian, Dewey. He accompanied them everywhere.
He can always warming people's hearts.
It's meaningful for to me,
Because it's it was also my birthday gift from my brother few years ago.
When I practice my languages,I always image imagine that Dewey also by my side, and courage encouraging me.
Cheer up.0 votedAugust 30, 20161Hey Ben,
It's really good to hear that you want to study English and that you want to improve as quickly as possible. I would like to make the following recommendations:
1) Try not to learn quickly but try to learn well. I often make the same mistake when learning Chinese, but focus on remembering the material you learn.
2) Try to make sentences using the new words. This will really help you to remember them as well as give you the practice you need when learning new vocabulary items.
3) Watch English language TV as often as possible. At first, I recommend watching with Chinese subtitles, but after your English improves, you should stop using subtitles.
4) Reading online resources like BBC also helps as it provides you with real-world examples on how to employ new vocabulary items.
5) Finally, organize language exchanges as often as possible. Don't be afraid of making mistakes when speaking, as making mistakes is a crucial part of learning any language.
If necessary, I am more than happy to write the advice in Chinese to help you out, but these are my recommendations to you. Hope these help.

Being an eager follower of the Olympics as well as other sports events, I have, oddly, never been the athletic kind of person myself. All through ("throughout") my childhood to (and) my adolescent years, the most frightening class of all was P.E., which really baffled my father. He always bemoaned that I inherited none of his sports DNAs: he used to play many kinds of ball games and I sucked at all of them. Maybe my mother knew me better. According to her, I learned to speak long before I was able to walk, probably an early sign indicating that my brain would work better.
Anyway, it is a plain fact that I simply lack that (the) strength and agility to do good sports (well). If there is any consolation, it would be my endurance. I cannot run marathon, but jogging for half an hour would still be possible. Of course this is not much ("really") a great accomplishment either, but it is quite a thing (big deal") to someone who flunked her P.E. classes at (in) college, also the only course she failed.
I like jogging because it is a sport that doesn’t entail a partner, meaning that you can be free to choose the time and place doing it; besides, since you are all on you own now, that spares you the worries of being a laggard in a team or boring your playmate to no end. This explains my preference for the activity. Another big upside to it is that, jogging is probably the most effective way to lose weight. If I ever found my clothes couldn’t fit me anyone, I would resort to jogging. My father said I was being utilitarian, which I admitted. Because after I lost my weight, I usually lost my incentive to go on jogging either.0 votedAugust 14, 20162Hey Melanie,
No problem, I'm more than happy to help in whatever way I can.
To answer your questions:
1) The time spent exchanging languages is not included in the 3-4 hours. This is spent studying new vocabulary learned through books and podcasts devoted centered around learning Chinese.
2) I have never done a spontaneous session on italki; they're all scheduled and I tend to remain exchange partners with the people I choose. They can be challenging, but they are certainly worthwhile as I am not permitted to speak English for thirty minutes. My spoken Chinese has certainly improved exponentially as a result, though there is still ample room for improvement.
3) When searching for language partners, however, I suggest taking time to get to know them before arranging an exchange. Ascertaining that they're serious about ensuring that equal time is devoted to the respective languages is paramount in this regard and it will make the sessions so much more rewarding for both parties involved.

PART2 https://www.italki.com/entry/718034
During this period, I learned how to manage all the work schedules, to sort out the best shuttle schedule(I recommend saying 'timetables' as you have already used the word 'schedule) and how to work as a translator in intercultural communication between Chinese staff and American manager ("how to act as a liaison between Chinese staff and American managers, focusing on translating and bridging cultural differences."). Because of this first line (hands-on) job, I got the chance (opportunity) to communicate with customers, hoping to find out ("more about") their attitudes toward this supermarket. “I drove down Highway 17 and went through Walmart, Kroger, T-mall to stop in your store. Publix means so much to me, rather than just "a store." The sentence of a customer who was from Florida emblazoned in my mind ("Caught my attention" is better to use here." Also, what did the customer say?), which illustrates the spectacular balance between create ("creating") customer delight (satisfaction) and capture ("prioritizing")value from them. After I came back from the US, I realized that compared with the big big world, what I have learned is just a drop in a bucket. I stared to plan my graduate scheme. From then on, I worked even harder to achieve higher scores to meet the conditions of my aiming college ("College entrance requirements). Looked ("Looking back on.") these three years (of) college life, I grow (grew) up as an individual. I overcame my biggest obstacle, Gloss phobia, fear of public speaking. I practiced days and nights, I even volunteer to do speeches in the class, which I got more chance to practice ("Which gave me a fantastic opportunity to practice." . It is a real hard time (It was a really difficult time). I can still remember a scene of my first time speech, sweating, trembling and being still of tongue ("speechless"). But I never gave up, I started from little change (I started by making small changes), reading out loud the speech draft ("reading the draft speech aloud) over and over, trying to memorize all the words, using cue cards and so on. As time goes by, my unremitting endeavor finally paid off. In second year, I made a successful speech in a press conference as a representative of university students. I am looking forward being a part of a university where I can develop myself both personally and academically. I believe that my potential will be confirmed by a university which wholeheartedly supports its students.0 votedAugust 14, 20163
