Hello, my name is Kevin, and I am from the U.S. I’m half Taiwanese and I grew up speaking mostly English at home (some Mandarin with my grandma), but I have studied several years of Chinese in high school and college. I would like to improve my Mandarin to the conversational level and maybe also learn some Taiwanese/Cantonese. Some background on myself: I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area in California, but I went to college on the East coast, and have lived and worked in Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey over the past 10 years. I currently work in medical device sales in the Seattle, WA area. I used italki quite a bit a couple years back, and took some formal lessons/did language exchange with a few language partners, but I had to stop for awhile as work got extremely busy when I transitioned into my new job in Seattle. Work is less busy now, and I would like to resume my Mandarin studies. If you would like to language exchange (Chinese for English), please let me know!

    赛车赛车赛车 两年前我为了新工作搬到西雅图来。西雅图的风景很美。空气很干净。树上的叶子大部分会整年四季保持绿色。从任何地方都可以看得到雪覆盖的山顶。我甚至不介意西雅图块每天的毛毛雨。其实，我讨厌西雅图的一件事就是每天路上的堵车。上班，下班的时候，上午，中午，下午， 周末都不能避免。有一天，由于这一个大问题，我可能不得不离开这个天堂。

    Mid-Autumn Festival is Coming

    The Mid-Autumn Festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar, which is usually in September or early October, when the moon is at its fullest and roundest. This year it falls on September 13th, which is tomorrow! I have been eating mooncakes for the whole week and tomorrow I will eat more! ^_^

    perfect English Hermione, only a couple of small corrections!

    My friend

    Today, I went to visit my friend, who had been in a recent accident. I was so excited to give him a hug and we both cried. It's been a long time since we last met, and I was really happy his legs will be OK . I took care of him for a while. Before I came back home, l cooked chicken for him.

    A school that I joined

    I had joined in a basketball school when I was ten years old.

    First, the aim of the school was to teach the students, who was were about five to sixteen years old, how to play basketball.

    Second, there were many coaches at that school. They were very nice, teaching us how to cooperate with your our teammates and how to improve your our shooting accuracy.

    Third, the school was full of passion. Our teachers always told us to enjoy the positive feelings we got while you were playing basketball, and it was the key to improve improving your our skills.

    In conclusion, playing basketball helps keep me healthy, while building strength and agility. Now I am in great shape because of it. I will never give it up it.

    I remember when I learned 倒 in Chinese class back in college. The teacher told us 倒 is often used with 觉得。我倒觉得。。。meaning on the contrary, I believe/feel that... In your sentences, it might be better to use 反而。说话很容易。反而，做东西有点儿难。

    could someone revise this sentence about a charity auction for me? thank you so much~

    At the London charity auction dinner, these two paintings, together with works by other well-known celebrities and artists, were auctioned. These paintings by the Zhuxi children, which portrayed a pure and lively world in their hearts, were finally bought by the founder of Voss Water, concluding this auction with great success. The money raised from this auction shall will be used to help African children get obtain access to clean water.

    could somone revise this passage for me? thank you so much!!

    In 2016, our group brought Voss Water into China and put it into production at Zhuxi County in Hubei Province. As a result, the local GDP has doubled since its formally starting production, directly benefiting a local population of 400 thousand people, enabling targeted poverty alleviation.

    The scenic Zhuxi County is one of the nation'sal-level poorest counties, and in particular, its local education lags far behind that of other areas of China. Due to an accidental chance, our Culture Foundation received the some paintings of the local children, and in cooperation with the Voss Foundation, brought their paintings all the way from China to London, UK.
