Hello! My name is Vera, I've lived in Greece my whole life, though I'd really like to change that in the near future. I've been studying Chinese for about 6 years and English for as long as I can remember :P I've also studied French in the past, but it was a relationship not meant to last. I'm currently studying chemical engineering in Athens, Greece and my hobbies besides learning Mandarin include exercise, English literature, travelling and more. About my Chinese: My spoken Chinese is terrible. So I really need someone with patience and understanding, as well as very critical and not afraid to attack me brutally with any corrections necessary! :P Any grammar nazis out there are more than welcome to contact me! About my English: Although not a native speaker, I strongly believe I can help you out, not only with spoken language, but with written, formal and informal, as well, paying close attention to grammar and syntax.

    Practice Talking

    I don't like to talk  talkingto others. Sometimes I don't know how to express my throughts thoughts and continue the conversation. For example, when I am in a restaurant , I want to eat noodles, but when  if I find out a guy someone* I know is also there, in order to avoid the talk chatting, I will abandon to eat it I'll stop eating.I don't have many friends, I think it will make me tired is tiresome.
    I admire the people who have many friends. They always can can always communicate with others earily easily. I am to practice write recently**, hoping to improve my ability of communication to communicate***, so that I can better communicate with others (better) not wrong, just more natural if used under the auxiliary verb.


    *I suppose you mean someone, regardless of their gender. If not, disregard this comment.

    ** I don't know what you mean here because you 're using two different tenses, present and past. So it's either: "I must/have to practice writing soon" or "I had to practice writing recently". I suppose you mean the first one, which makes more sense. "I am to" is too strong of an obligation, not suitable here.

    ***better expression: my communcation skills


    All in all great work!

    认识我一点人! 大家好! 我叫 Vera, 我的中文的名字还是没找到 (你们可以帮助我!). 我学习汉语，已经学了六年, 但是我的汉语水平还是很低, 说得很不流利. 这是我的第一尝试写汉字做一段话, 知道看懂难得很, 对不起. 我二十五岁，是化学工程大学生, 现在做我的论文, 已经做了一年. 我有很多的爱好，比如看英文的书，看美国和英国的电影，游泳，玩儿电子游戏. 我很想在中国学习一二年, 但是现在把这个计划还是我很害怕.

    self introduction

    I am LIJU. I am from KERALA(INDIA) which is one of the best places for tourists. I attended Cochin university of science and technology where i majored in ece. Afterwards , I started my carieer career in a telecom company as a service engineer.  have been there for 2 years now... in my At home my father, who is working* works as a farmer, my mother who is a housewife and a brother who is working as a software engineer.. My hobbies include watching movies and talking chatting... i am an easy going person.


    *If it's something temporary, OK, but if he is a farmer in general, you need the Present Simple.


    All in all not much to correct, pay attention to the capitalization of the first word in a sentence, the word "I" which is always a capital and names (capitalize only the first letter). Other than that, don't use the "..." too much, it means you want to imply something.

    Great job!!

    Maroon 5

    Maroon 5 is one of my favourite American music bands.It was mid of 2012, when I heard their song for the first time.* I am a die heart hard fan of this band. Some of my favourite songs (of Maroon 5)** are Payphone, Suger Sugar, One more night, Animals etc. I wish I were able to meet them oneday one day/someday.


    *Here you have to either specify which song, or say 'one of their songs' instead of 'their song'

    **Repetition. Not wrong, but if you want it sound natural, you can ommit the name of the band.


    All in all, very good writing! Bravo!

    go back I'm going back to Guangzhou at the end of this month. (Use present continuous for something that is set, that is planned)

    I have a plan - to write an English essay every other day, but it is hard to keep up with. Sometimes there is too much work to do, sometimes I do not know what to write about. It happens many interesting things around me every day Many interesting things happen around me every day and I do want to write them I want to write about them (use 'do' to emphasize, here it's redundant). Unfortunately, due to raise privacy issues, I have to give up on it. So I can only write about something else. =_=

    Recently it is not so hasn't been that cold in Japan. As for me, Spring and Autumn are the best seasons*, neither too hot nor too cold. How about you? Which is your favorite season?
    At the end of this month I will go I'm going back to China, it has been 4 months since I last went back to Guangzhou last time. The winter in Guangzhou is warm, but Summer is very hot and sometimes there are typhoons. If you are traveling to Guangzhou, I would advise you not to go in summer. Guangzhou cuisine is really delicious, you have got to try it.

    It has been a long day, I am not feeling well. However, I have had to finish some important work before 5p.m., so I constantly encouraged myself that I can to finish it and finally I did. That This is one reason I have time to write this essay at this moment.

    Tomorrow is the last day in  of this week, and as Friday is the Emperor’s Birthday, we do not need to work. So happy~
    By the way, do you need to work on this Friday?


    *Not completely wrong, you could say something like 'in my opinion...'. Use 'as for me' if you've talked about someone else previously.
