009 : Free English class again
I joined a free English class again. I kept getting lost in intermediate class and found an upper class instead. The class teacher in that class invited me to try it, and said that if it is too difficult for me, I can go back to intermediate levels. Having done the class, I think it's okay. I can understand, even though some of parts were not so clear. Especially Some students speak especially fluently with very good grammar. That inspired me a lot.
Some today topics today were:
Phrases definition about sleep
1. fall asleep: going to sleep
2. get out of bed on the wrong side: be in a bad mood in the morning
3. wake up: stop sleeping
4. have a lie in: stay in bed later than usual
5. be an early riser: a person who gets up early
6. oversleep: sleep longer than planned

After this class, I invited friends to make a mini group to practice speaking English. It was very easy (if 'invited' is past tense then the other verbs should also be past - be consistent) . I googled some casual topics like a future plans, friends, and environment, and then asked my friends. It's more helpful to speak in long sentences. It's fun and I can receive some friends views for adapting my life.
Thank you for correcting me.0 votedAugust 18, 20182Discovering New Facets Of Ourselves By Adapting To New Environments
Have you even been mired in the same routine for many years? Have you ever tried to live differently, but ultimately relapsed into the old routine ultimately? Changing your environment pushes you into a new situation, and you need to change yourself to adapt to the new settings (the verb 'adapt' always takes the preposition 'to'). It is natural for us all to want to renew ourselves every day. That is why traveling becomes the enduring attraction for many people. Travelling takes us out of our native environments and forces us to adapt to new people, new cultures, and new ways of living (just a suggestion as 'ways' on its own is too vague). The most important thing is that we discover new facets of ourselves through travelling.
How should we be active in discovering these new facets by adapting to new environments? Seeking out divergent views. In general, we operate on auto-pilot in familiar environments and routines. By adapting to new environments, we need to change our thought-patterns and operate in different ways. If you want to be active, you should talk to people around you, and exchange views, without being defensive with opposing views.
There are many cases like this. They (who? Be more specific.) quit their jobs to travel around the country or the world to breathe fresh air. They get divorced to live in different ways. Many say that changes give them new lives. What does new life mean? It means that new facets of life have been discovered.0 votedAugust 18, 20182Is it normal?

I am a graduated student from graduate of Huaqiao University, but I am still not ready to leave the school, so I am applying for another in the US. The time before I go to the US is called the gap year. Although I just went through 4 months, I feel that everything was not what it was like before, especially when your friends or your classmates are starting to work or have trouble seeking a job. Anyway, I have to think about what my future job will might be anyway.
For those who are at work, most of them are doing the things they don't really like, but doing it for the money. Some people are enthusiastic at the very beginning, but their passion just fades away only after several months and they start to thinking about changing another job. However it is a hard decision to make. I always think that I will do something I like in the future - a tour guide, a skater, a good designer or a nice english teacher - but now i find these "dreams" pales when facing the reality of society. I feel helpless sometimes, I doubted whether i should be chasing my dream or just start to do the normal jobs that most people do in my country.0 votedNovember 6, 20172Looking For A English Native Speaker To Practice My Oral Speaking Via Wechat
I have been doing a part-time job which is to be as a waiter in western restaurant since i was sophomore.I usually do this job annually on at the weekend and Tuesday night.

That gives me more confidence to learn English !I am looking for an English native speaker to improve my oral speaking via WeChat !So if you want to help me ,just text me privately !0 votedNovember 1, 20171- I’ve always been interested in cancer disease, reading widely in this field. And I followed my dream. After I had finished my high school I applied to genetic engineering field and I got accepted, and now it’s the perfect time in my career to go deeper with my academic research.
As a hardworking student with an ability to meet deadlines and produce work to a high standard, I think I would be able to put my skills to good use in this course. As I have a keen interest in learning more, this course would be a perfect fit for me.
Having studied genetic engineering at A level, I have built a strong knowledge base around it, as demonstrated in my most recent project covering the use of Zno Nanoparticles to fight cancer cells without affecting normal cells. I’ve gained an active interest in understanding the behavior of cells on a new level. Above that, I’m an energetic and active person in the community and in my university (I was selected for the MEPI program based on that).
In my community Breast cancer has become a major threaten to the female health. It is the highest (?) cause of death after cardiovascular diseases among women, with a cancer-related mortality rate of 23. It has been the highest-ranked malignancy among the Iraqi population in general since 1986.
I plane to open a cancer institution in after I will get back from UK. That will include Early Detection of Breast Cancer to help as many people as I can who suffered from cancer.0 votedOctober 30, 20170 essay help me with it
Expanding my knowledge, getting as many much experience as I can, so one day I can help and give back no comma to all humanity. This is my primary dream and it’s the first things on my to-dos list. taskI applied to do a Master's degree in three different universities in these fields: Medical molecular Biology with genetics, cancer cell, and molecular Biology with Biotechnology. because The modules involved will help me to expand on what I’ve learned in school and college and help to move one step more towards achieving my goal of finding a cure to for cancer disease. Which’s I’m taking it one step at time and I believe that studying in the United Kingdom will help me achieving my goal.
As an active student in a laboratory, I spend most of my time there, to try trying different things try to achieve my ambition to become a researcher. I was particularly attracted to genetic engineering specifically cancer cell and Nanobiotechnologyno full stop because I have dream of helping all humanity by finding a treatment to the for breast cancer.0 votedOctober 30, 20171If is a sad word
I think ‘if’ is a sad word. There are so many regrets and sorrow in it. If I had worked harder, I would have been a supervisor. If I had told him what I felt for him, we might would have been together; if we hadn’t had a fight, the last words that I told him would not have been ‘I hate you’.
I might would have been a dancer if I hadn’t quit practicing. I would have been happier if I had chosen the job I like, rather than the one that paid better.
How many ‘ifs’ in your life? How many times have you felt sorry for what you had done or what you had not done? I will try to change. I will try to tell my parents I love them because I never tell them so even though I do do love them. I will try to figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life. I will try to find a job that I really like, and I will try to learn more things.
I don’t need more if in my life. Do you?Hi there! Lovely piece. Just a note about semi-colons: They are best used to divide a list into larger sections, when the list items already contain commas. Here is an example:
There are basically two ways to write: with a pen or pencil, which is inexpensive and easily accessible; or by computer and printer, which is more expensive but quick and neat.
Generally, if it's a new thought or a new piece of information that stands alone from the previous, as with your examples of 'Ifs', then a full stop its best. ;)
Enjoy!
