Hello Everybody! 大家好！Right now, I am mainly interested in a language exchange-- helping you with your Chinese conversation, and practicing my Swedish or Danish. I am a native speaker of English, so of course that is an option, too. I love learning languages, because language is all about communication and interacting with people. I teach Chinese professionally here in the U.S., so I have a lot of experience and tricks up my sleeve to help with tones, learning characters, etc. I love helping students "unlock the mysteries" of Chinese language. If you take it a bit at a time, it's not the impossible language it's made out to be, and it's a lot of fun to learn. I would love to practice my Swedish, which is maybe at an intermediate level (I was an exchange student in Sweden in HS) and practice my Danish (at a basic level, conversational). So, let's get in touch and try out an exchange, see if it works out! What do you have to lose-- 加油！

Jag är mycket imponerad över att du kommer ihåg svenskan så bra efter så många år. Tänk på att prepositioner är svåra i alla språk och tyvärr sällan logiska.

    It's a little bit of an awkward way of saying this concept. It sounds like you translated it from another language. I'd need more context around this sentence, but I might say something like: In terms of lunch, you have to go home to eat. You can't stay at school and eat. OR You have to go home and eat lunch; you can't stay at school and eat. Hope that helps.

    It looks like a typo to me, and it should be FILL.

    I think the most complex but very important and common use is #3 that 武熙川 mentioned: that, who, the one, etc. For ex: 我昨天买的书很贵。 Wǒ zuótiān mǎi de shū hěn guì. The book (that) I bought yesterday was expensive. 站在那儿的是谁？zhàn zài nàr de shì shéi? Who is the one standing over there? Who is that standing over there? To understand Chinese and to express yourself well in Chinese, I think it's very helpful to practice this usage!

    Willow柳絮

    我是个来自南方的学生，这是第一次见到柳絮。
    I’m a student from south China,this is the first time I have ever seen willow catkins.
    漫天飞舞，像雪花一样，非常美丽，特别是在空旷的操场上，简直像梦幻中的场景
    They fly  all over the sky, like snowflakes,--very beautiful; especially in an open field, just like a dream scene.
    就是扑到眼睛、鼻子上有些烦人。
    But sometimes they fly right into your eyes and nose, that is a bit annoying.
    路上能看见边走路边摆手的人，而我，直接用嘴吹开它们,哈哈。
    On the road ,you can see people using their hands to wave the willows away, but for me, i blow them away with my mouth,ha ha.

    some sentences

    If I were you, I wouldn't refuse him.
    If I were Jack Ma, I would buy myself a girlfriend. (REALLY?)
    If I had bought that big house three years ago, I would be very rich now.
    If I hadn't broken up with my girlfriend, we might be married now.
    If I should be rejected by Peking University, I will try again.

    (Or: If I were to get rejected by Peking Univ, I would try again.)


    If we should break up someday, I would be heartbroken.

    I will experience a new thing in the near future.

    I am very happy today because I got a yes. The other day, I applied to take part in a activity as an volunteer. I never tried a role doing something like this before, so it is fresh totally new for me. But the thing is, I don't have an experience in the area, so I'm afraid I won't do well. not very sound thing is that I do not have any experience of it, and I am afraid I won't do it well. In order to provide the best help to others I am making some preparations prepares now (making preparations is a little formal-- you could say "I'm getting some things ready now.") The volunteer activity centers around books and children. The activity is about children and books The goal is to have whose target is let more and more children know about books; understanding books is so important in life. quite beneficial of our life and like reading it.


    In my opinion, these kind of events are significant for both children themselves and the society, which and should be held frequently. At the same, I feel honored and excited to be a part of it and I will try my best to do a good job. In addition, I like reading very much, especially the books about autobiographies. Therefore, I think I will gain a lot from this activity and maybe meet some new friends.

    A Good Man

    Although we have only known each other a short time,  I'm sure you a good person. You put work on the first position (you can also say-- you might work a priority). I admire you, you are an excellent student. I feel ashamed bad to take up your time chatting, and I hope that hasn't been an issue for you. that consumed your time to chat with you, sorry, I hope you never mind.


    Next time, you should concentrate on your PhD interview, I know it's very important for to you, so I won't bother you. Thank you very much, you have helped me a lot with English, but of course I'm not perfect, I still make mistakes. Perhaps I need to read some books to get better. books to enhance. One day, I expect I can become a person like you, I really look up to you. you are my idol. Thank you!

    A Popular TV Drama

    I've just watched the 15th episode of "Ode of Joy," it is a great tv show, I really enjoy (like is ok, but it overused!) it.The show is about 5 girls living on the same floor of an apartment building, with totally different personalities,  backgrounds and values, but they become the best friends (but they all become very close). They feel unclear about  confusing for the future, complaint about their jobs, etc.  i feel with them. I can relate to them. Although life is hard, we can get through move on (move on is more like overcome a negative event-- loss of a job, death of someone, etc) with the love of friends and family.

    M-22.Just a random diary ENTRY, but I will remember each random person who crosses my path in life.

    When I was bicycling DOWN the road, A man asked me how to get to a PARTICULAR place where he wanted to go. I searched on the map but I didn't  COULDN'T find it, so I told him that I was sorry to be unhelpful for him. I couldn't help him. He still smiled and thanked me.
    To my surprise, we met again at the following crossing (intersection?) again, and what surprised me EVEN more WAS THAT he happily told me that he had already knew where was that place WAS and he showed me where it was. Finally, he told me that I shouldn't bicycle so fast that there was a strong possibility that I would get hurt.
    I was a little touched by a stranger's concern.
    TO me, my life is too watery (?? fleeting??) to hardly say THAT ANYTHING HAPPENED FOR A PURPOSE. However, sometimes I perceive one thing  HAVE A SENSE that as long as I use my heart to focus MORE DEEPLY ON THE WORLD AROUND ME, instead of just shallowly using my eyes to see MORE SUPERFICIAL THINGS, life will be MORE MEANINGFUL, and now, indeed IT IS.

    Could you help me here?

    I've answered a physics question which asks about how to measure the volume of an inflated balloon. I would like to make it more natural because I feel there are too many colloquial expressions as well as quite a lot wrong word choices and grammar mistakeS. Could you help me please? Please feel free to MAKE ANY CORRECTIONS NECESSARY. (Is the word adjust correctly used here?)


    Choose a cylinder that IS  large enough to CONTAIN the balloon; Pour some water in and record the initial volume V1; Insert the inflated balloon and record the new volume as V2. The volume of the inflated balloon can be calculated from   AS V2 minus V1.
