I have a short-term goal to take a test in mid-June and increase my Ukrainian speaking/reading scores. I have already taken this test before and I know exactly what I need to prepare: conversation, interview/translation, a short organized presentation from a list of topics, and reading comprehension. I hope that these lessons will help me correct my mistakes and practice using my vocabulary and grammar. I am attracted by the flexibility of doing lessons online since I have a busy work and family schedule. I am originally from Argentina, but I was raised in the U.S. My grandparents are from Ukraine. I learned Chinese for work. So, I have a multicultural background and speak four languages. I work in international trade and policy. I interact not only with Chinese business men and women, but also with Chinese provincial and city government officials.

    小演讲:移民 各位好!今天的主题是移民。这个是一个大的话题,有很多可谈的方面,然而我今天只想简单的谈几个方面。 在我开始讲之前,我想说明一下,这个小演讲只是我个人的观点,这肯定不是正式政治的观念。 我想要分三个部分来谈一下这个话题。 第一:对美国来说,移民的优点是什么? 第二:移民的缺点是什么? 第三:如何处理这些移民问题。 首先,对美国来说,移民的优点是什么? 美国历史上是欢迎世界各国移民的。根据移民专家分析,在世界上,美国是最欢迎移民的国家之一。移民是美国经济制度不可或缺的一部分。随着那么多移民去美国,美国足够多的劳动力支持:农业阿,服务业阿,建筑业阿,甚至支持信息产业。除此以外,他们也是消费者,他们购买产品,让美国的国内生产总值率增长。值得一提的是,最大的优点是之所以美国是一个多民族的社会是因为一般来说,美国人都庆祝美国的多元文化。这就是一个我国基本的社会价值观念。就拿我来说,我的祖父母都是政治移民。第二世界大战以后他们都移民了从乌克兰到阿根廷来。然后,我和我母亲都从阿根廷移民到美国去了来寻找比较好的生活。我的特殊多元文化的背景使我能过更好的表美国政府。移民的优点固然不胜枚举,然而不可否认的说,他们都也带来不少问题。 其次,移民的缺点是什么? 一名享受政府福利,其中包括公费医疗和教育。美国纳税人都不想浪费纳税人的钱。对有些人来说,非法移民都买卖毒品,拿走美国人的工作,破坏美国的价值观念。除了以上所提到的缺点,还有其他的方面。那怎么办呢? 最后,我想要说明一下如何处理这些移民问题。 我个人认为移民对美国社会有巨大的影响。值得一提的是,针对译名,美国联邦政府没有那么多好措施。把所有的非法移民都遣返回国或者让所有的非法移民都突然的称谓合法移民是不实际的。反而,美国政府可以:通过新法律,制定更宽松的政策,提高教育的标准,加强对移民优点的意识,让大家认识到移民对美国来说的重要性。上个美国大选的时候,移民是一个又敏感又争议的问题。那时候,共和党候选人特朗普主张把所有的移民,尤其是墨西哥人和伊斯兰教徒(穆斯林?)都遣返回国。目前,这些刚刚通过的移民政策禁止大部分人口是伊斯兰的国家的人得到签证来美国。看起来在一方面会有损失,在另一方面会得到好处。 归根到底,移民一定各有利弊。我觉得我国的资本主义市场经济和民主主义政治制度都非常灵活。我们毫无疑问将会解决任何移民问题。 我很愿意和大家进一步的交流,但由于时间关系,我只能先简单说到这里。以上是我的小演讲,请多多指教。

    小演讲:高科技 首先,高科技的优点是什么呢? 有各种高科技的优点。我会谈一下三个方面: 1)第一个是教育。 2)第二个是医疗。 3)第三个是购物。 在教育上,远程教育可以使学生不需要到学校去,尤其是住在边远的学生。 在医疗上,高科技使医生拍更清楚的X光片,不需要动手术,就可以在身体里看到。 在购物上,人们可以使用亚马逊阿,天猫阿买东西,甚至没有运费。一般来说,高科技,尤其是网络,可以提高效率,使人们生活更便利。 其次,高科技的缺点是什么呢? 高科技的优点固然不胜枚举,然而,不可讳言的说,他也带来不少问题。我会举三个例子: 1)第一个例子是:黑客可以窃取个人信息,再说让病毒侵入你的电脑或手机。 2)第二个例子是:长时间用网络导致人与人之间的冷漠。这其中包括人们不习惯面对面的交流。 3)第三个例子是:更糟糕的例子是用手机时间太长会让人变得难看。就是说,人们会变成低头组因为常常低着头。人们的双下巴会越来越明显!那么,这件事也造成意外的事故,比如一边玩手机一边在街上走路,或一边开车,一边使用手机。 除了以上所提到的缺点,还有很多其他的方面。那怎么办呢? 再次,我想要说明如何治理这些问题。 1)解决黑客和网络安全问题,可以安装防火墙,杀毒软件,使用包含字母和数字的密码,经常换这个密码,不要打开来自陌生人邮件的附件。 2)解决人变得难看问题,用电脑或手机时候,人们该多休息,让他们的脖子和手腕放松。 3)解决社会冷漠问题,多跟亲友在一起,多帮助别人,尤其是邻居,多交生后中的朋友,而不是网络的虚拟朋友。这些事情可以使我们人与人之间更紧密。

    小演讲:环境 各位好!今天的主题是环境。这个是一个大的话题,有很多可谈的方面,然而我今天只想简单的谈几个方面。 在我开始将之前,我想说明一下,这个小演讲只是我个人的观点。 我想要分三个部分来谈一下这个话题。 第一个:描述一下环境对人们有什么影响。 第二个:谈一下环境污染的原因和后果。 第三个:说明一下如何治理环境污染问题。 首先,环境是人们的生活不可或缺的一部分。人们的生活和工作靠环境。比方说,农业,出差,甚至出门在外面玩。也就是说,在我们的生活上,每个方面靠我们的环境。 其次,有各种污染的原因。我认为重工业是造成污染最严重问题的原因之一。其中包括: 煤矿, 钢铁厂, 玻璃厂, 塑料厂, 为了追求最大的利润,工厂把没有经过处理的废气直接排放到空气里去,污染了环境。 除此以外,有些国家没有那么严格保护环境法律或者标准。 在这些国家,医疗专家建议人们每天都查一下空气指数,避免PM二点五空气污染,要不然人们可能会得疾病。其中包括 打喷嚏, 咳嗽, 或者最坏的情况,得肺癌。 再次,以上所提到的国家可以从美国吸取经验教训。尤其是七十年代的时候,美国过去很多污染严重问题。美国联邦政府: 通过了更好法律, 采用了更好的高科技以后,比如可再生能源, 加强了对保护环境的意识, 让大家认识到环保的重要性才 污染的情况改变了。 直到污染的情况改变,人们应该: 戴口罩, 使用空气净器。 再说,人民对清新空气有关注。没有清新空气,为了改变他们的生活水平,人民最终就可能会推翻政府制度。 总的来说,由于设计的层面很广,不是三言两语能说清楚的。因此,我就先简单的说到这里。我非常想跟您多谈我的想法,但是由于时间的关系,我的小演讲就到此告一段落。请多指教。

    小演讲:吸烟 1)我想说明在美国吸烟问题的情况。 2)我想谈一下吸烟的后果。 3)我想谈谈为了控制吸烟,美国政府可以实行什么政策? 首先,我不吸烟,也不是一个医疗专家,所以我对这个话题之略知一二。 从九十年代,在美国的吸烟的人有越来越少。相比之下,随着电子烟的受欢迎,年轻人的吸烟人有越来越多。 其次,我肯定能说,吸烟有害健康。研究发现,吸烟导致肺癌。除此之外,二手烟也有害健康。 再次,政府没有那么多有效的选择。比方说,可以增加香烟的税阿,通过新法律阿,实行更有效的政策阿,加强对香烟危害的意识阿。让大家认识到对健康的重要性。 总的来说,由于设计的层面很广,不是三言两语能说清楚的。因此,我就先简单的说到这里。我非常想跟您多谈我的想法,但是由于时间的关系,我的小演讲就到此告一段落。请多指教。

    I'll add an interesting twist to this.  I plan on asking my teachers to sometimes turn off the webcam so that I can practice and focus on my listening comprehension.  I have to take a test over the phone, which means I won't be able to rely on the additional cues that are helpful for communication.

    0723 Is Chivalry Dead

    Last week, I was in downtown Guangzhou doing some temporary work. To get to my workplace, I needed to take two rides of subway subways, doing the transit transferring at the busiest stop of in the city. Taking the subway is usually an enjoyment to me I usually enjoy take the subway, except for the  during rush hours when people jostle their way in or out of the cabin. Yet  However this time, there came some help I got some help, making my train journey a little easier than what  it otherwise would have been.

    Early this year, the Guangzhou subway saved dedicated (or designated) some cabins as “For Ladies” during the weekday rush hours. This is because during summer, there would be no shortage of physical contact in a crowded subway train. In an effort to reduce the chance of sexual harassment, as well as being considerate to the weaker side in a packed cabin, the authority decided to designate a few cabins especially for women during the peak time. It is not a compulsory act , but rather, voluntary. And it is interesting to observe how men react to a policy that overwhelmingly favors women.

    During my stay there, I noticed that most young men would withdraw if they found out that they were misplaced get off the designated cabin once they found out they were in the wrong place , albeit begrudgingly for some,. bBut there were also the people whose perverse incentives drove them to stay unmoved, despite being repeatedly persuaded urged (or simply "told") by subway staff. They questionedasked:, "Wwhat happens about to the gender equality that women had always been striving for?" 

    This prompted me to ask: Is Cchivalry so out of date that it deserves to die?
    It is true that the modern women wish for more say in political, economic, and social matters. Just around a century ago, women had no right to vote, to be educated and to contend with their husbands even if they were right. In China, women were forced to follow the leads of all male members of the family, including their son, while the Victoria Era in the West saw women typically bound by an array of social and ethical values.
