    Please check my note.

    Here I introduce you to an impressionist oil painting named "The Spectrum of Happiness". Under the aurora sky, there is a street on two both sides of which the streetlights are  shine like vibrant flames burning fires in the rainy night. The lights reflect off the rain that has fallen, painting the ground with an image of the sky. In front of an apartment, on the left side, a man wearing a white scarf is silently waitsing for his lover. Fortunately, his waiting is supposed to end in minutes. Not far away, a girl is walking towards him on the ground- colored by shadow reflections of the sky and lights.

    Please check my grammar. Without the following picture, could you imagine this scene from my description? I would appreciate it if you could polish my writing to make it more native. Thank you.


    Because the colouring of the ground seems, to me, to define the painting, I chose to add another sentence describing it. This was very well written indeed. You did a great job at painting a picture in the reader's mind!  ^^

    Choices After Graduation

    Working for big-size ( you can omit "size", it is assumed) companies always means the access to a lot of benefits, because they have "a "well-developed" or "an established" system which (smoother transition that "that" in this case") helps the (you use "their" again later, change to "the" to be less tedious")employees enjoy their work. But, personally, I think a job in a small company will be is a better choice. One of the most important reasons for this is that people will have more opportunities there. When I was an intern in a small technique (maybe you mean technology, you can also use "tech") company, my manager assigned me many tasks, including database, marketing, recruiting, and even dealing with the complaints of the customers. I have to say it was pretty exhausting, but later I found that I learned a lot from that job and grow grew (past tense) up fast.

    I'm learning English now. I would be appreciate (you can also say "I would be very appreciative if...") it If someone can help to correct the article above.Thanks!


    Really well written! ^^

    "What's up?" can depend on context, but it is usually used as a causal greeting. In this case, we use "what's up?" similarly to how you would use "吃饭了吗", most commonly the response would be: "Not much (you are not doing anything important). And you?", or anything along the lines, but we typically don't just say "what's up" back. It is also often used as "你最近怎么样“ or “你在干嘛” where the person would like to know what you are doing, or what you have been doing recently.

    "What's up?" depends on context, but it is more casual. Among friends, this is what we use to greet each other, similarly to how you would use 吃饭了吗 in Chinese. We use “what's up” . In this case a common response would be: "Not much (you are not doing anything important). You?" "What's up?" can also be like 你最近怎么样 or 你在干嘛, where the person asking would like to know what you are doing or what you have been doing recently。

    I think you mean personal messages to other people, have you checked your settings? Try going to "Account Settings" > "Privacy" > and check the 'messages' option. Aside from this, I can't really think of any other solution, maybe try italki support or making a new account if nothing works. Hope you figure it out! C:

    Practice, practice, practice!! For learning languages, it is extremely important to review everyday so that your brain can familiarise itself with the paths of speaking a new language. You should try to expose yourself to English in many different ways and medias, like: - Watching English shows and movies, listening to music (I am learning Chinese primarily through C-Pop and 《喜羊羊与太狼》, 哈哈) - Reading English books - Most importantly, having actual conversations in English. Language learning will not show results in a few weeks and maybe not even a few months, it takes years to really learn it well. Keep doing what you're doing, stay motivated, and practice every day! 好事多磨! I wish you the best of luck! 我祝你好运! C:

    Chinese Idioms Stories 疑邻盗斧

    Once upon a time, a man lost his hatchet. He suspected that the neighbor's son had stolen it. He started observing that person. In his view, the person walked like a thief, looked like a thief, talked like a thief, and everything about him suggested that he was a thief. Before long, he found his hatchet when moving his straw-stack. The next day, he saw the neighbor's son; this time, he felt that the person was not like a thief at all.

    This allegory tells us that prejudice is an obstacle to understanding the truth. If one observes the world with preconceived ideas, he or she will inevitably distort the original appearance of objective things.


    You have a very good handle on the English language. Well written, good grammar, and flows nicely too! 
    -----------------------
    How I would summarise this story, which is by the way one of favourite of the Chinese idiom stories!

    Once upon a time, a man lost his hatchet and he suspected that it was the neighbor's son who had stolen it. He started observing that person, and in his eyes, the person walked like a thief, looked like a thief, talked like a thief, and everything else about him suggested that he was a thief. Soon enough, the man found his hatchet while moving his haystacks. The next day, when he saw the neighbor's son again, he no longer seemed like a thief at all.

    Buffett's Shareholds meeting

    Yesterday, I saw a wonderful video about Buffett’s sharehold meeting, probably only 6mins and focused on the information that people were most interested in.
    The last part was really funny. Buffett asked Munger what was your dream his dream is now, and then he said (said is good, but you can also use "answered"), sometimes I dreamed to be back to 90 he wishes he were 90 again,the whole audience laughed. ”if you want to do something, please don’t wait until 93" , the whole audience laughed again.
    Buffett noted that to find a job that you are willing to do even though you are not in the working time, the life must be valued. In life couldn’t you can't look backward but need to look forward, to think what things can make you happy and when you are old, you are still willing to go toward in this direction.
    Pretty right. I have been thinking which I need to choose: the industry of sunrise, the industry of making much money, and my favourite industry. There are the important factors when I choose job.


    Well written! Nice Job. :)

    practice outline (how to write it correctly?)

    How Is Faith a Victim in Young Goodman Brown:
    An Investigation of Causing Factors
    I. Introduction
    A. Thesis statement:  The purpose of this research is to identify the key factors that influence Faith to become a victim in "Young Goodman Brown". Factors include the stereotype of women and living in a male-dominated society.

    II. Body
    A. She fails to be a traditional wife.
    1. Expecting a passionless marriage and a submissive wife
    2. Rejecting her like a worthless object
    B. she is living in a male-dominated society
    1. Calling Faith as “poor little Faith”
    2. Being despised and disrespected by her husband.

    III. Conclusion: Faith is the ultimate victim in Young Goodman Brown.

    Hi, guys
    after you read my outline, hope you can correct my grammar or mistakes thanks:)


    Grammatically speaking, there are very few mistakes. It is a well written outline. However, if it is for academic purposes there are some ways in which you can make it stronger.

    Another example for a thesis might be:

    This research paper will strive to identify the leading factors which serve to portray Faith as a victim in "Young Goodman Brown". The victimaization of her character is a result of the stereotype of women, living in a male-dominated society, as well as other aspects of her life.

    This thesis has the same message as yours, only there is a bit more vocabulary and it is constructed in a more advanced way. 

    I don't know if that is what you are looking for.  The only other advice I have is to maybe be a little more specific with your paragraph topics.

    But for an outline, you have done a good job.

    The previous correction fixed all the mistakes, here is how you can write it to sound more natural and fluent in English:


    My co-worker has been seeing different men these days, she's usually talking about them. Recently, she found her favourite man. Since, she has always been talking about him. Apparently her mother got angry because she is a manizer. I'm thinking she is going to break up with him soon. I'm tried of hearing her.  

    I

    highlighted some of the things I changed. Just small ways in which you can improve it. Otherwise, it is really good and also very funny. I laughed! 

    Good luck with your friend!
