大家好,我叫夏莉!(现在该写点什么......) 我希望能在 italki 上找新朋友,而提供我的中文水平。我的口语可以算是中高级,写作呢,就不要谈❌ 我正在学习时装设计,快要毕业,希望新冠病情况被缓解了一些后能找到工作,不管是在美国或在中国,台湾等。 我喜欢做衣服,听音乐和博客,看恐怖片,当然也喜欢看书。 想要一起练习的话,就告诉我吧! Hello, my name is Sigele, and my Chinese name is 夏莉. I primarily use Italki to practice Mandarin Chinese, but I'm also learning Cantonese, and I'm interested in Vietnamese as well. I would say my Chinese is at an upper-intermediate level (HSK6 or so), but I still have a lot of work ahead of me. My hobbies are sewing, watching horror films and occasionally anime, listening to music and podcasts and of course reading. Currently, I'm slowly working through 82年生的金智英 (it's in traditional, so it's taking a while) and watching both versions of Meteor Garden to compare. I'm happy to chat with you and provide feedback in English. See you soon!

You're really improving in your comprehension of Cantonese and Mandarin parallels! I hope to continue to integrate more and more conversational vocabulary to supplement your learning. Thank you for sharing with me some of your film discoveries. Older films, especially, are great treasure mines for colloquial language.

    看着《奔跑吧》 今天我有看了《奔跑吧》第3季的第一集,虽然我已经看完了一两遍,但是我发生他们说话的内容有些我没学过的说法,所以我就要在看一遍,这次要认真一点。可是下了决心以后,第二个问题就是到底如何用电视学习?我发现,如果我一直在记下所有听见的生词、成语、方言等,几个小时后才能看完,总是倒带和暂停。 我目前的方法就是:不断看内容的五六分钟,然后如果有事我不懂话,看着就感到困惑,那我就倒带回去再看,而记下些关键词。但我也不太确定这样做是有利的,因为他们说到的话题、游戏任务、规则等我基本上能听得懂,要不看着游戏就能明白。再说,中国电视节目基本上都有字幕,看的时候我不知不觉会靠字幕为了了解,于是就不会注意到他们的声音。 尽管我的学习方式还没有定好,能听懂中文节目,而还能了解些切口我还是觉得挺满意。其实我本来有打算今年夏天参加HSK6级考试,过了这几月比较认真的做了些预考和一门慕课,竟然发现看着电视我会学比较多。 (不过呢,好像真人秀是很容易听懂的,这些方法对电视剧真的不足......)

    "And go on" isn't correct. As for "etc." vs. "and so on", they can be used interchangeably, BUT: 1. "etc." is an abbreviation, so it should always be written with a period at the end, even in the middle of a sentence. In Spoken English we use the full term "et cetera". 2. These aren't typically used to refer to lists of people, especially not "etc." because it literally means "and other things" 3. "Etc." should only follow lists of 2 or more items, but "and so on" is sometimes used after only one example. You could say "My mother does the cleaning and so on."; meaning that she cleans, and also does other related household tasks (cooking, laundry, etc.). Besides these, you can also say "and so forth", or combine them into one term, "and so on, and so forth". The latter isn't that common; when I hear people use "and so on and so forth", it can imply that the list is too long, or that the items in list that aren't mentioned are unimportant. "And whatnot" is something you'll hear sometimes, although it sounds very colloquial/informal. "And the like" is similar, and more suitable for lists of people ("Pop stars, movie stars, models, and the like").

    Practice Test for IELTS

    The picture demonstrates chart represents that the amount of energy produced and consumed by people living in the US from 1950 to 2000, and projects it into the year of 2025.

    Overall, the consumption and production of energy has significantly increased in the past, and it is expected to continually rise in the future. Americans only needed less than 40 quadrillion of BTU's in 1950, whereas the need became two times more doubled in 2000 (almost 100 quadrillion of BTU's), and may reach a peak of 150 quadrillion of BTU's in 2025. Although there was some fluctuation in the period between 1975 and 2000, overall it rose steadily.

    On the other hand, the production of energy was relatively lower than the consumption in the US. Although the amount of them were not equal, the figure of them were near between 1950 and 1975. The two rates, though unequal, were comparable between 1950 and 1975; however, the gap between them increased after 1975, and is predicted to become even wider in the future.

    I hope this is helpful!

    (第一次!)难道我是个书店狂...... 好像我有这样的问题。已经在中国过了五个月,书架上的小说比课本多。那些小说呢,到现在我读完的共计......〇。每次打开那些小说都一样:读了一句,就把字典拿出,查查句里的四五看不懂的词。第二句也有点复杂,把字典又打开了,等等。太阳落山了,春天来了,我衰老了,万年以后我终于读完了一个页。我这样愉快地过每个周六,愉快地在书店里游荡。《阿Q正传》的第一页很值得一读,《亲爱的三毛》也不错,《追踪绿人》的书皮真的好看。《何以笙箫默》附送一条书签,还有别的......东西。是照片吗?我觉得我已经扔掉了...... 我还没把《北京,北京》和 《茶馆》打开。 如果附近的书店少,也许我会少买书。这里的书店不仅多,也就在商场里,不管饿了,累了,眼镜摔坏了,突然想买新的灯芯绒夹克,所有的店都在,你不用从书店离开。例外的那些书店有自己的魅力;咖啡吧,有特色的环境,难得的书,英文书,日本时装杂志,丰富多彩的贵文具,等等。 ......哦,我忽然想去。 我本来的打算是先读《何以笙箫默》,读完以后才可以买别的小说。可是读过 ”何以琛!“ 100次以后,显得那本书不太合适,不妨看看书店有没有更有意思的书;现在有十本,还有两期《读者文摘》,因为比较便宜。 回国以前,一定要买超大的行李箱。 既没有什么建议会给自己,今天就写完了。我应该严以律己,跟我的老(?)朋友赵默笙和她的危机感过一晚。
