Actual Strength or Luck

Which is the most important factor to your success, strength or luck? It is definitely that different people have distinctive opinions about that question. As far as I am concerned, actual strength determines how far you will go and luck just like an additive that brings you to some special journey in your life . Maybe as a student, we always say that the not good scores could not show how much knowledge kept in our mind and how worse we are than those students who get a better score . So if we have a lot of luck, we can get test scores just as good just as the top students. However, it seems that we always lack some luck, so the idea score often can not be taken. Hence, we should think what exactly can change that situation? To improve your strength like learning more knowledge or just pray for good luck? For the wise people , their choice would not be the latter one. Surely , we can not deny the fact that luck is one of the important factors , which may create some miracle in your life or give some surprise that makes you happy. Actually, in my eyes , luck has always been around people and how to get it depends on the actual strength you have. As long as you have enough strength , luck will come sooner or later. So , try to strengthen yourself instead of waiting for the Luck Fairy to show up!

Making Sweets

One of my hobbies is to make sweets.  I like to bake cakes and cookies in my free time. There are hundreds of easy recipes on the internet, but sometimes they don't work well even if I follow them thoroughly from measuring ingredients to setting a proper temperature of the oven. I suppose that's what is difficult about baking pastries. The reason why baking is difficult is because the performance of each oven is different. Thus, baking time and temperature differ depending on the oven that you use. So you will need to adjust the settings before finding the best way to bake with your oven. Baking is a lot of hard work, but it makes me even happier when I have succeeded.

(Good job.... just a side note... 'Sweets' is British English and 'Desserts' would be American English. )

Looking for friends to talk with

Hey, guys/girls, I'm struggling to practice English.  I feel that my English is rusting away with every second that clock ticks.  Message me to add me on Facebook or another social media platform to start a conversation.

I want you

Hey everyone:
I am a Chinese.  I would like very much to make friends, especially international friends. I want to learn English and I am proficient in Chinese. Come on and let's help each other improve our language skills.

hashtag equals the '#' sign for Twitter and/or social media on the internet. It looks like your sentence was used in a comedy show created within the past few years. 'Get a bib' while drooling could mean that they are a messy eater or if it was a guy staring at a female then it was a joke to stop staring (and drooling while looking at them). There is no significance of the statement other than it was a joke.
