Hi! I am Peter. I was born and raised in Chengdu, the hometown of Panda and Hotpot. I'm a student in University of Queensland. I usually stay in lab and lack of time to practice my oral English so I'd like to become fluent in oral English to express my thought accurately. I am looking for language partners. We can exchange Mandarin for English, please don't hesitate to message me!

    老子甜甜圈哲学

    老子是对的。
    如果你是抑郁,你生活在过去。
    如果你焦虑,你就生活在未来。
    如果你在和平平和,你住活在现在。

    (老子也同样喜欢甜甜圈孔和甜甜圈。)


    may be better in this way:

    老子是对的。 
    如果你很抑郁,那么你活在过去。
    如果你很焦虑,那么你活在未来。 
    如果你很平和,那么你活在当下。

    when you add 很=very here, the all 3 mood changes into adj. , and you will feel read more fluently.

    Being different in English, in Chinese, the couple word like "because-so" all appears at the same time. Here, you say "if 如果" in the first sentence part as a condition part, so in Chinese, you should/ have to say "then 那么" ahead of the second sentence part as a result part.

    Finally, I have a question. Well, 老子here is only "I", not the popular Chinese Ancient Philosopher who wrote 《道德经》right? LOL When I first saw your title, I thought that you were writing a metaphor section in modern background. (haha)

    “真”和“确实”有一样的意思。 = "真"and"确实" has the same meaning.

    2- 这个词语和确实一样有意思。

    “一样有意思” means "as interesting as ". I guess here you would like to say "has the same meaning", it's “有一样的意思”

    because “有意思” in Chinese means “interesting”

    3- 这个词语的意思跟确实的一样。

    13- I’ve planting is useful for elderly people, based on the researches is it true or not?

    I guess this sentence has some error? Maybe you want to express in this below sentence:

    I guess you find 李教授 in textbooks, if so, it's just a random example for the person. Well you can use this term when you start to speak with a "real" professor whose first name is Li (or Lee). Moreover, if the professor named Zhang(张), you should call him 张教授.

    The first day for italki I heard from my best female friend that italki is a good place to find foreigners with mutual topics or teach them Chinese as well as Practicing spoken and written English. I chat with a pretty and cute Australian girl from Tasmania and a cool guy from Bengal. That's so cool to chat with them and I add the Bengal cool guy's Skype. I introduce Sichuan Food- Hotpot and we discuss Chinese Smog. I think I should find a way to communicate more fluently with my foreigners friends. Studying all day has weaken my social abilities somehow. I hope I can find more interesting friends and keep in long-term touch. Thus we can get deep communication and improve our language much more. If there were some foreigners who like and want to learn Chinese Ancient Languages and poems, it would be awesome! Anyway, this is a good start. LOL, a good harvest for my last year in NEU.

    电视剧《 ‎微微一笑很倾城‎》评论

    电视剧《 微微一笑很倾城》评论 (Love O2O review)

    《 微微一笑很倾城》 是一个部关于两个RPG玩家谁通过服务器相遇,然后继续他们的浪漫生活的中国电视连续剧。 该系列有一切(中国电视剧元素):从马克思主义到化妆品和益生菌酸奶的广告。缺点是它给了中国闪亮的形象; 在下半年,它与RPG元素不同, 和并且主要的男性角色,在我看来,太主导主观,但在其他方面是非常有趣。

    請大家多多指教

    同學好!我叫敬婷。我來自美國,加州。我父母是台灣人。

    我小時候上中文學校(每週上一次)但是中文幾乎都忘了。好可惜!這幾年,我又對國語很有興趣。我為了學國語,常常聽國語歌曲和看偶像劇。但是這樣缺會話機會。我希望在italki找些聊天對象,和并且用notebook多寫中文。

    請大家多多指教!
