我最喜爱纽约市～

现在我住在纽约长岛（中国人写地址一般是从大到小）。但是，未来我将住在纽约市，因为我在那儿工作。还有，我的好朋友也住在那里。纽约市有五个区（或者地方，不过区更合适），分别是布鲁克林、曼哈顿、布朗克士、史丹顿岛、皇后区。我最常去曼哈顿，因为曼哈顿是我的最爱。我的工作在曼哈顿。还有，我最喜欢的跳舞聚会也在那里（”的“的位置一般就放在名词前面，中文人称没有英语那么多的规矩，不需要区分主格宾格等）。

你的文章写的很好，表达也很清晰

五月十二号的第一篇日记

昨天我跟我的中国朋友在线聊天，我真的使我自己陷入了尴尬的境地。我的朋友试图说他近来的新闻。 他说他的父母回了老家，所以为了带孩子上幼儿园，他得请假。可是正好他有四天假就要到期。

Yesterday, in a conversation with my Chinese friend, I really embarrassed myself. My friend was trying to tell me his recent news. He said that his parents returned to their old home, and, because he had to take his son to kindergarten, he had to ask for time off. But it just so happened that he had four days of vacation about to expire.

起先，我不认识“到期”。我认出了所有汉字可是不知道那个词。我最后想通了。然后他直到后面才提及幼儿园。 所以我以为他带孩子到他父母的老家。 但是我不确定.所以我问了他。 他说了他得请假以便带孩子幼儿园。 可是因为某些理由我不知道，我以为他的意思是因为他要在他父母回老家前去看一次他父母，所以他得接送孩子。

First, I didn't recognize 到期。 I knew both characters, but not the word. I figured it out. Then, he didn't mention "kindergarten" until later, so I thought he was taking his son to see his parents at their old home. But I wasn't sure. So I asked him. He said he had to ask for time off from work in order to take his son to kindergarten. But for some reason I don't know, I thought he meant that he had to drop off his son, because he was going to see his parents before they returned to their ancestral home.

五月十二号的第二篇日记

可是我不想用“去看”，因为我认为“去看你父母“是不客气的说法（we don't use the future tense in this content  ）。所以我说”探望“。 我大度的 （?I can't understand why you say your friend is generous ? so I can't choose the right words for you）朋友告诉我探望一般用于病人，老人。 因为我试图着念快点，所以我只念了”于“。现在我还是不明白”于“的意思。我想说的是”由于“。（于 means on , at in and etc ,由于 means because, same as 因为 ） 再说用外语聊天时，可以轻松将自己的意思带到句子里。 如此我想我的爸爸是病人和老人，我以为我的朋友的意思是他父母回老家是因为他们不健康，很老。 所以我以为他说的是他需要立刻处理的事情，例如，为某个必须接送孩子去幼儿园难题寻找解决措施，即使这个周他可以靠休假解决。 所以我说了这些。 他说是他父母已经回来了的。

But I didn't want to use 去看. For some reason I thought it would be impolite. So I said 探望. My generous friend told me that 探望 was used for visiting the sick or the elderly. But I was trying to read quickly and I just saw 于 and I'm not completely clear on the meaning and use of 于。 I think maybe I thought 由于. Moreover, when having a conversation in a foreign language, its easy to bring one's own meaning into it. In this way, I thought about my own father and his being sick and elderly, and I thought my friend was saying that his parents were returning home because they were not healthy and were very old. So I thought he was talking about practical matters that he had to deal with now, for instance, finding a solution to who would take his son to kindergarten, even if he had a solution for that this week by his taking vacation. So I said as much. Then he said that his parents had already returned.

我真的尴尬了。我试图讲了个笑话。我说”也许我花很多时间去了解，甚至是你解释以后，他们去和回来了“ 可是我不知道我的朋友是否觉得好笑。

I was so embarrassed, I tried to make a joke. I said "Probably it took me so long to understand, that while you were explaining, they went and came back." But I don't know if my friend thought it was funny.

别的朋友和我一样晕。 再说有时最单间句子最难懂。 很少的词且没有语境，彻底晕。

With other friends, I have similar confusions. Moreover, sometimes the simplest sentences are the most difficult to understand. A few words with no context, thoroughly confusing.

昨天是一直不挺好。 我的模拟测试做的并不好。我降下了十点。 再说以前我教过自己怎么做网页图表，并且我做了关于我的考试进步的表图。 所以当我做昨天测试真的不好的时候，我感到特别笨。

Yesterday was a generally lousy day. I also did poorly on my practice test. I dropped ten points. Moreover, before I took it, I taught myself how to make website graphs and made a graph of my progress. So when I did badly, I felt extra stupid.

英国的NHS 收到联网的攻击

我刚刚在新闻上看到英国的NHS受（收means receive something ，such as 收礼、收藏，受 means be done ,just like passive voice）到联网的大型攻击。这是一个非常严重（严格means bestrict to somebody or something ，严重 means serious grave ，usually used in bad way）的事情因为好多病人的个人信息（个人信息means private information ，细节 just means details ）可能会被泄露（can you get the differenc between 暴露 and 泄露？）。因为医院所有的电脑和别的电器都不能用，所以医生不得不用纸记笔记。我不知道黑客的动机是什么但是这种(or 这样的)行动令人厌恶。世界上怎么会有这种进行恶意攻击的人？
