Profile
I'm a first-year Ph.D. student major in mechanics. I have an intermediate level of English (TOEFL: 109/120). I love to speak and make friends with amazing people around the world, as long as I have time (most Ph.D. students are very busy!). But I watch LOTS of YouTube and Netflix videos. I also read WSJ quite often. Therefore, we can talk about many things, from Breaking Bad to the US-Iran conflict!

It's great that you can get back to doing what you have to do, Tongtong. Remember to pack your doll (ha, ha, ha!).

These figures are astounding. I get (by calculation) that, if 50,000 inhabitants owe $60,000,000,000, then the debt per capita is $120,000,000. That is $120 million per person. It's hard to believe it is possible. Great to get my 'dose' of Tongtong again. Glad you are starting your PhD on site!!

Personally, I think that their usage of "promotion" is a euphemism. Their meaning is more "force", as in force a unification. I, of course, know little about the history of China and Taiwan, and yet I feel that two things are necessary in order to have a fair unification: 1. the desire of China 2. the desire of Taiwan. Probably China wants unification, but in order for it to be equitable then the citizens of Taiwan should have a fair and open referendum to establish their desire. If the majority of Taiwanese vote not to unite with China then China should leave the table and abandon the project.

    Scam and harassing on italki
    A scammer recently contacted me on this website. This person pretended to be an American but really is a Chinese. This person asks me to chat on Whatsapp, which one can use a phone number to add another person. Then I gave my phone number to this person. Then I received a 4-digital code from a Chinese online dating website zhenai.com. This person asks me to send this code to him/her. I'm not very familiar with Whatsapp, and I thought this is a normal procedure to add people on Whatsapp. I send this code to this person. But I received more codes, and he/she ask me to send these codes. I realized that this person is a scammer! I'm so stupid! He/she my number to an account on zhenai.com

    This is the scammer: <a href="https://www.italki.com/user/6952662" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(74, 110, 224);">https://www.italki.com/user/6952662</a>;

    Let's talk about the scam and harassing on italki. I hope users can report scammer and harassers, and the website can do more to authenticate users.

    看网络直播就是一种娱乐的方式啊。直播时主播与观众的互动也是吸引人的一方面。什么样类型的主播基本都有。有唱歌达人,有各种游戏主播(DOTA LOL CS:GO等等),有美女主播,有户外主播等等。提醒你一下,不少主播说话多少都带一点点口音。我个人比较喜欢熊猫TV的刘杀鸡,普通话挺好的,他有时会直播跟美女互动。。。

    先纠错: 1.我几年前在lang-8上访问 -应为提问。访问的意思:一是有目的地看望并交谈,例如出国访问,访问村民;二是在网上浏览,例如访问Google。 2.我是一个单身狗-应为一只单身狗。单身狗实际上是人,但是习惯用修饰狗的“只”这个量词。 3.太可惜我不能把自己找一个对象-"把"字在这里不妥,可改为“让”。 4.我喜欢猫(但是我想养猫)- “但是”可改为“而且”。前后句应是递进关系,而不是转折关系。 5.应该耶稣也会下来长周杰伦的十大金曲吧。-“长”字打错了,应是“唱”。 回答问题:我谈过恋爱,现在是单身汪。 爱情是一个过程。 爱情往往开始于外貌、金钱等外在特征的相互吸引。比如女生的飘飘长发、回眸浅笑在男生的脑海中挥之不去。男土豪的名表、豪车也让女生两眼放光。青涩的男生在搭讪时笨拙的措辞和腼腆的笑容有时也会让女生心动。 爱情刚开始的时候往往像烈火一样猛烈。两个人仿佛有说不完的话。就算只是看着对方,也会笑出声来。 但是爱情不可能永远给人以新鲜感和兴奋感。生活中总是有许许多多的琐事。恋人间的冲突和争吵也在所难免。随着相互了解的深入,有些人觉得对方还是不适合自己,就选择了分手。另一些人顺利度过了磨合期,感情变得更加深厚。这时的爱情少了几分当初的热度,多了几分理性和稳重。两个人喜欢对方的理由也由当初的外在特质慢慢转变为性格、世界观、爱好等内在特质。 爱情终不能长久。结婚之后爱情也往往会转变为亲情。
