*Sorry, I'm currently not looking for language partners due to my personal timetable. If you need a Chinese tutor, please feel free to schedule a lesson at my teacher profile page: https://www.italki.com/teacher/3945669 I look forward to seeing you :) * *I'm still accepting friends requests :)* Hi! My name is Freya and I come from Beijing. After completing my bachelor's degree in Chinese Language and Literature, I came to the USA and finished a master's degree in Communication Studies. I love learning languages and talking with people from all over the world, as well as sharing life stories and cultural differences. I'm passionate about literature, especially fantasy fiction, sci-fi, and epic. I always welcome a friend who shares the same hobby, and it never hurts to chat a little bit :)

Well done! What an interesting essay. Just remember the point about breaking up long complex sentences ;).

Good work. You are experimenting with word forms and choices, which is a good step towards fluency.

    I will talk about a place I've been to called Whitby. 我要讲讲我曾去过的一个叫惠特比的地方。 I have only been there once with my family but I really liked it because of the history there and how pretty it is. 我只和家人去过一次,但我很喜欢那儿,因为它的历史和美丽的景色。 There is an old Abbey there which inspired the story of Dracula. When I went, it was a foggy day so when we went to see the Abbey, it looked so cool and mystical with the fog surrounding it. There was a Dracula performance which was really funny. 那里有座古老的修道院,是根据德古拉的故事修建的。我去时天气雾蒙蒙的,当我们参观修道院时,烟雾缭绕中它看起来又酷又神秘。那儿有一场很有趣的德古拉表演。 In the city there is a market and I really like the market because it looks old and cozy. 城市里有一处集市,我很喜欢,因为它古老又令人惬意。 There were lots of shops because Whitby has a lot of history. It is a coastal city and in the summer you can play in the sea, it is too cold in winter. 惠特比有许多商店,因为它历史悠久。它是座滨海城市,夏天你可以在海中玩耍。冬天就太冷了。 There is a Captain Cook museum. Here you can learn about Captain Cooks history in Whitby but we didn't see it. You can eat lots of seafood but I don't like seafood so I didn't eat any. I would like to go again. 那里有座‘库克船长’博物馆。在那儿你能了解库克船长的历史,但我们没有去。你也能吃很多海鲜,但我不喜欢海鲜所以没吃。我想再去一次惠特比。

    I believe that‘s the theme song 《初恋女》of the movie 《初恋》(first love)which was released in 1937. The lyric was written by famous poet Dai Wangshu (戴望舒). The original sentence is 终日我灌溉着蔷薇,却让幽兰枯萎。 One tricky thing is 月季,蔷薇 and 玫瑰all translated into ‘rose‘, while the first two are very common in classical Chinese, 玫瑰, instead, is a symbol from the western world and rarely seen before late Qing Dynasty. Back to the lyric it self, Jeff has given nice explaination. These two flowers usually being used to describe women with different characteristics. It is said that the orchid refers to poet's first girlfriend, 施绛年 (the younger sister of 施蛰存,the famous scholar), while the prickly rose refers to his wife, 穆丽娟 (the younger sister of writer 穆时英). There are also rumors said that 穆丽娟 was angry about this poem. Therefore it can be also explained as the choice between morality and love.
