Screw up the English interview today..

I screwed up the interview as due to my English ability. I just prepared an introduction but the interviewer asked me my strong points & weak points as well. I was a bit embarrassed and not able to answer that the questions fluently.

On top of that, she said I have dialect accent which and I need to fix the my pronounciation.

I do not get understand it. I've been living in Seoul the whole of my life.

I suppose it mixed mother tongue and my clumsy british accent which I've been gearing up improving.

Good effort!

My mother

I want to talk about my mother.

She is a careful and positive woman who works as a mathematics teacher in a public elementary school.She works very hard and detailed is thorough.Though she has encountered many difficulties during this years ,she have has the ability to deal with this these problems one by one with many much patience .

She never complicates what she had met is faced with .She prefers to share her experiences and taught me how to solve a problem when I was a child. I learn a lot from her advices. In Through her education, I have become an independent person and I know how to control my own life more easier better.

She is the most important people person in my life. She gives me a loving family and teaches me how to become a better person. With my mother's emotional support, I have much alot of confidence and a healthy attitude to face my life. I really love my mother.

Good effort!

First day on italki

Hi! It's my first day on italki. I'm trying to figure out what can I do here (except, obviously, lessons).
I have recently stopped taking English lessons for some reasons (hope just temporarily), but I am trying to keep it by watching TV shows with English subtitles. But I have a luck lack of speaking and writing practice and I miss it so much. So that's why I'm here.
Hope, it'd be helpful.

Welcome Olga. If you are interested my English Conversation lessons are a fairly relaxed way of keeping up and improving your English. I use Film clips and other online resources to keep things interesting. Good luck! Best, Rupert

My City

Some suggestions

1. Children and mobile phones.
As far as I am concerned, children shouldn’t use smartphones before they archived reach the age of 13-14 years old. There are a lot of dangerous things for the immature mentality mind. For safety and parent's control, they should use phones without an internet or mobile date data have needs to be under their parent’s control.

2. Shopping in supermarkets.
I have no doubt, that shopping in a supermarket it is very convenient. But In my experience, if we buy food in supermarkets for two weeks, we eat it all for in one week. As a consequence, we spend more money, we become poorer, we gain overweight and become the gluttons (obese?). My choice - is to buy a little every evening. It helps me keep fit and avoids  the need to throwing food away. The advantage benefit is clear.

3. Superstitions.
As I see it, only unconfident people, as well as people who have the with a low level of development or social intelligence can take it too seriously.

4. Learning languages.
One wise speaker on TED.com said that the maths is a language of science, that music is a language of feelings and English is a language of solving problems. Common, multinational problems. Not only because the USA push it, just because the world pulls it. I am absolutely convinced that we needed in a common language which can unite us in the face of common problems.

5. Pocket money.
To me, children should have pocket money, but they shouldn’t be obsessed by them it. I have always felt that it is the wrong idea that children have to earn pocket money by helping at home. It doesn’t matter how much work they have done or what grades they have got. They should get pocket money anyway and (it goes without saying) they must help at home anyway.

Some of my thoughts

In a few days A few days later, I will go to college in another city, and I will be very busy in for the next month.This term, I need to pay spend more time on my professional learning.What I learn is chemistry. Sometime I find it is difficult for me to understand it. Though busy I will be busy, I will keep on continue learning English for I really love it very much.

Good effort. Keep learning!

All best, Rupert
