    I'm not to sure how to answer your question of why, so I'll just add it as a comment and correct the sentences to how I would say it (native from the US). You admit to doing/have been doing something (verb). So you can say: I admit to drinking beer everyday after school with Susan and Douglas. I admit to not being the right person you've expected; I'm leaving you. I think the difference may be if you admit a noun. I admit my fault of drinking beer everyday after school with Susan and Douglas. I admit, my concept of you has changed. I'm leaving you.

    What features (lesson plans, dictionary, SRS, etc.) are you looking for in the app?  If you're a complete beginner there are apps like Hello Chinese and Chinese Skill which are popular.  They will teach you pronunciation with pinyin as well.  Make sure you get corrected by a native speaker though :)

    If you just want a dictionary, I like Pleco.

    If you just want to see stroke order, you can buy a Pleco add-on.  I just use MDBG.net or Wikipedia for the stroke order.

    Most good apps have the option to switch to traditional characters, but default to simplified.  I've only seen a couple of apps that are strictly simplified, but they typically state they have plans to support traditional in the future.

    I'm neither a grammar expert nor a native Mandarin speaker, but I think you're confusing the object "學校" with the where component. The where often starts with "在".

    The closest thing I found to help you out with this is in this article: https://www.italki.com/article/582/The-Golden-Rules-Of-Chinese-Word-Order

    Anyway, perhaps the following modification will help you out: 我明天在北京會去學校。

    If I'm wrong, hopefully this will at least give a native speaker a better understanding of your question.

    Sorry for the 繁體字. It's too early and I'm too lazy to figure out how to switch to 簡體字...

    Word practice 10-23

    Notice
    1 Please notice the safety notice on the wall.

    While technically correct, it would sound more natural to say, "Please note the safety notice on the wall."  It sounds awkward to say notice twice.


    2 Take no notice of what he says.
    3 She was transferred without notice.

    Wish
    1 I can give three wishes to your.
    2 I just have one wish.
    3 I wish I was taller.

    Step
    1 I heard steps outside.
    2 He took a step towards that girl.
    3 He is walking up the steps.

    Practical
    1 My boseboss(?) was always so practical.

    Bose isn't a word.  I'm assuming you mean boss.


    2 He givegave me some practical advice.
    3 This robot is so practical; it can even cook.


    Corner
    1 I saw a dog in your house's corner.
    2 I hit my knee on the corner of the table.
    3 The girl sat in the corner of the room.

    Wonder
    1 I wonder who she is?
    2 I wonder if you can help me?
    3 Thew woman wonders if she carries a boy ofor a girl.

    Alive
    1 I was glad to hear you're alive and well.
    2 Is your cat alive?
    3 "I'am alive!" said the monster.

    Satisfaction
    1 She is not satisfaction forsatisfied with this service.
    2 She felt a small glow of satisfaction.
    3 They had satisfaction in their life.

    Monitor
    1 He was elected monitor.
    2 The teacher is talking to the monitor.
    3 He is the moniteor in our class.

    I think it would be better to say either, "He is a monitor in our class," or "He is the monitor of our class," depending on how many are allowed.

    Queue
    1 I had to join a queue for the toilets.
    2 There is a long queue of hundereds of people.
    3 How long were you in the queue?


    This is a good idea.  I wish I had enough discipline to do these exercises.  Good luck with your studies!

    When you "take a step back and look at the big picture" you get a better view of what you're looking at. I believe he's shortening those phrases to mean take everything into consideration and know that it will take a while to accomplish the end goal. To "draw from your state within" I believe means to look inside yourself for positive motivation. I've never heard of "put you on", but an online search makes it seem like he's using it in a different context. My guess is that he wants to say, "No one is going to do it for you. You have to do it yourself." It's a bit hard to determine without more context, but I hope that helps.

    About my research draft, I have different thoughts about the background section. Since time is limited, can we discuss it in the next meeting?

    It's fine, but you probably mean "ping pong".

    Edit: I don't think you would say this: He didn't do any preparation for the exam. He didn't make any preparations for the exam. He didn't prepare for the exam.

    English Learning-20161210

    I am currently on my vacation these days.. I want to visit some nice places in South of China where [it/the weather] is warmer than Shanghai.

    I love taking pictures with my camera, which is an entry level camera, Nickon D5500.

    I just learnt that using the scenery mode while taking(capturing?) views pictures would be more colorful and beautiful. 


    I also triedtry to focus on the dark part when I am taking the pictures towards to the sun. That will make my photo much lighter.
