My dog :)

I have a dog. His name is Noah. He is 5 years old. He is a Yorkshire Terrier.
I take him for a walk and feed him every evening. I like to hang out with him.
He is very smart because he seems like he understands words which we talked what I say to him.
He always makes me feel better.

Well done Chika! Great read. :)

Being nice to people.

We only live once. Be nice to the people you know even if you don't like them or you feel that they could take your place or maybe your job or your lover. Who cares? We only live once. The time you spend being nice to them is a part of your lifetime, a time that you will spend. Use that time in a good way.

I really enjoyed reading this. Great work on this article Flo! Nicely done. :)

Please correct my mistakes

It's been a long time since I have started learning English. Unfortunately, I'm not perfect yet but I'm feeling a  little different from the day I began. The last six months, I dedicated to building my listening capacity. Now I can understand English well when I'm watching TV or English speaking movies. Now my biggest obstacle is speaking. It's difficult for me to build sentences quickly. So what should I do to progress my speaking ability? Thank you.

Hello there Aarka! Very little to no grammatical errors in this notebook entry. Well done!!! :) I would say, the best way to improve your English speaking skills is to PRACTICE. The more you speak, the more you get better. Since you like watching movies, you can do a listen and repeat on what the people in the TV show are saying. It will help you learn new words and pronunciation better. That is the most effective way of going about it. I wish you all the best on your English learning journey.

My mouthwatering dinner

Mom, dad and I went to Yuanlin to replace the fire extinguisher in the van. After our work, we ate Salmon Nigiri sushi for our dinner at Yuanlin's traditional market. The meat of Nigiri sushi is so full and fresh.

In the first sentence, you could also say, "My parents and I." Great effort on this notebook entry. Keep it up !!! :)  ... And oh yes, that sushi does look yummy ;)

Just like Bernhard said, the first step is to practise by speaking to people. Practice is always the key to being good in any skill. Do you like watching TV or movies? If yes, then try watching Western dramas or movies and then try to repeat after the speakers. In my classes, I always do a listen and repeat exercise with beginners and I find this helps them with pronunciation and they can later apply these terms in their spoken English every day. Make sure you at least learn a new word every day. I wish you all the best Benz :)

Diary 15

I like potato chips.
I want to eat potato chips every day but I also want to be slim.
So I rarely eat potato chips, though I ate them today.

Short and sweet! Well done Chihiro :)

Hello!

Hello everyone. I like western culture, so I decided to start learning English again. This is my first little composition and it's also my self-introduction. I've got an English name called Jack so that everyone can remember me easily. My Chinese name is Chunshi Lee(李春时). I know a few English words, but I can only write by feeling and not communicate.( I didn't quite understand when you wrote that you can only write by feeling and not communicate but I am guessing you meant you can write but not speak English well  ; ) I'm looking for a native English speaking partner so that we can help each other. My goal is to be able to have simple communication in English within 1 year.
So if you see this composition, please point out the grammatical mistakes in it. If you like learning Chinese, please contact me. I'll give you my Skype ID. Good luck to you.

This entry was nicely done. Good job, Jack! I am sure if you keep going like this, you will be able to reach your goal very soon :)

My little copy.

I have a cousin. She is much younger than me but she looks like my little copy. I mean, as in appearance. Other things (behavior, habits, aims and intentions) are opposite. I have a scary feeling every time I see her. As if I was born in another family, there is no love.
