Profile
I am interested in learning Swahili and Malay and am open to any language exchanges. I speak English as my first language, and can teach you basic English if you are beginning or immerse you in an English-speaking environment and provide you with conversation practice if you are intermediate and seek to further develop your English skills. I also speak Chinese to a smaller extent, but would not be very comfortable helping anyone in Chinese other than absolute beginners, as I don't deem myself fit to do so, and it would be a unfair language exchange for you. Feel free to drop me a message :)
My interests mostly lie in current affairs, history, music (piano in particular, both pop and classical European music are fine), math and coding XD so it's a plus if you have similar interests!! :);):)

- Perjalanan saya belajar bahasa Melayu - bahagian yang ketiga (Saya terlupa untuk memuat naik ini pada hari lepas saya memuat naik bahagian yang pertama dan yang kedua) Selain dari etimologi kata bahasa Melayu, aspek lain yang paling menarik hati saya ialah imbuhan. Saya berasa bahasa Melayu gunakan imbuhannya dalam cara yang lebih luas dan kurang acak daripada bahasa Inggeris. Contoh yang saya melihat selalunya digunakan untuk menunjukkan tumpukan ini ialah perkataan “ajar”. Tertentu kata ini ada pengaculian, kerana kebanyakan kata BM tak boleh terimbuhkan untuk membuat kata nama penerima tindakan (iaitu bukan seperti ajar→pelajar), tapi memang tataimbuhan BM adalah amat fleksibel lagi. Misalnya “keluarkan” boleh dibuat daripada “keluar”, sedangkan “issue” tak boleh dibuat oleh “exit”. “kerajaan” boleh dibuat daripada “raja”, sedangkan “government” tak boleh dibuat oleh “king”. “wargawan” boleh dibuat daripada “warga”, sedangkan “journalist” tak boleh dibuat oleh “warga”. “perusahaan” boleh dibuat daripada “usaha”, sedangkan “company” tak boleh dibuat oleh “effort” (atau perkataan lain, untuk perkara itu). seranai ini pergi perjalanan panjang selepas ini.. Dibandingkan kepada bahasa Inggeris, bahasa Melayu lebih senang belajar, berasa saya. (Mungkin atau bahasa Melayu bukan reguler, serta saya berasa seperti ini saja kerana bahasa Inggeris yang paling acak?) Sisipan yang sudah mati (iaitu "-in-", "-er-", "-el-" dan "-em-"), dan reduplikasi acak dalam bahasa Melayu herankan saya, sebaliknya. Saya amat berminat bagaimana pasangan perkataan seperti kemuning-kuning, sinambung-sambung, jelajah-jajah, (gunung-ganang)-gunung boleh berlaku, sama seperti saya berminat awalan mati “a-” yang membuat kata seperti awake, adrift, afloat, asleep dalam bahasa Inggeris.

The text for my page on this site.
Hello! My name is Elena. I am a teacher of Russian language and literature. I live and work in Russia. My work is related to the education of children aged 7-11 years. (I'm patient, my profession requires it). I will render all possible help to people studying Russian with pleasure. My hobby is making toys out of fabric. (I love to take pictures).I assume you intended to bracket the sentences "I'm patient, my profession requires it" and "I love to take pictures". Please correct me if I am mistaken. Hope this helps :)

Car ownership has been on the rise year by year. While it is true that having a car brings a lot of benefits to people, I believe that the environmental costs of a lifestyle with cars are immense.
The reasons why people are yearning for their own cars are obvious. For one thing, it can considerably shorten the time on the road as people can drive directly from point A to point B without having to wait at every stop for buses or subway trains to take in new passengers. For another, having a car also means convenience. Car owners can go out for a short trip whenever they like, and do not need to be restricted by certain inflexible schedules of the public transport.
However, in my opinion, the environment damage caused by the growth of car ownership is alarming, and may counteract the merits of owning a car. Firstly, the exhaust fumes emitted by increasing numbers of private cars further pollutes the air with toxic substances. Secondly, those cars tend to congest roads, especially during the rush hour. When that happens, you would expect to face the sound pollution when car horns are being blared consistently by impatient and irritated drivers. Moreover, people’s living environment also suffers when cars are randomly parked along the street, leaving those places to be ever more jammed and clogged.
In conclusion, while I can understand the individual rewards benefits that a private car could inducebring, I reckon the price we pay for the environmental impact of the growing numbers of private cars outweigh the rewards.0 votedMarch 25, 20181<continuation of previous correction>
And then, we've talked about volunteers. I thought volunteers are people who do something for free. Everybody all agreed with me.
And everyboby shared their volunteer activitives. Someone shared that she volunteered atin school or class. Someone shared that he volunteered at a temple. Someone shared that she volunteered at a hospital. All kind of experiences were shared by us.
And then we studied about "volunteer in your community" on the computer. And then we made two of groups of twos and discussed, asked and answered the questions of each other's questions.
In the end, we discussed that ideas for volunteering: shoveling snow for a neighbor; babysitting; taking care of brother-in-law; picking up a neighbor's mail; feeding and walking a neighbor's dogs; volunteering in a government office; helping kids at the a camp, etc.
All the best acclimatising to American society!

We've talked about the topics about of community resources tonight.Before that, the teacher asked us a question: If you can change one thing about yourself, what would you change? Why?
I responded, if I can change one thing about myself, I would change my college major.
Because I'm having a trouble with English when I come here. People who are all speak English are all around me. No one cares about what is my native speaklanguage. I have to listen to the words and sentences again and again, and I have difficulties with my pronunciation difficult and accent. I am really want to improve my English, whatever whether in hearlistening, writing, speech or thought. If I can change my major, I'd like to study a couple of majors, I'm study my main major, and at the same time I'm study English hardworkingly. Including vocabulary, pronunciation, writing, especially for American cultures: food cultures cuisine, lifestyles, culture and education differences.
That was my answer.
And then, I asked the teacher the same sentence question. Her answers was: If I can change one thing about myself, I would do more exercise.
I said, but you look so good.
Her She said, thanks, do exercise not means someway intensely, maybe I just keep walking on the way, or do yoga.
I said, is it called staying in shape?
Her She said yes and we ended our lesson.

Keeping fit is very important in our life. I adopt two methods to achieve this goal.
First, proper exercise can help me to maintain my energy and keep me from illness. Everyday after work, I walk a long way to my home, almost seven kilometers. Because I am very busy so I don't have enough time to do exercise. Brisk walking with music is a good method.
Second, making a diet plan can help me to keep from absorbing too much fats, sugars and carbohydrates. Although chocolates, potato crisps and roast chickens are very delicious, excessive consumption of these products will increase risk of illness. I only eat merely some nuts on during supper because I didn't do more exercise at night, so there is nothing energy to consume.
This is my favorite way of keeping fit. iIt is not difficult, but suits me."didn't" is spelled with an "n" because it is a contraction of "did not" and pronounced something like "dident". "It" is singular, so "suit" should have a "s" at the end. In English redundant conjuntions are often ungrammatical. For example, sentence structures like "because... so...", "although... but..." are not allowed and in each case one of the words have to be removed.
"Keeping fit" is not a proper noun (it's not a name or technical term) so it can't be capitalised in normal (non-titular) text.

Today I’m going to make a note by walking and using a recorder. How did I come up with this idea? Well, I assumed it’s a good way to save more time for other things because while I’m walking I may use my thinking for this propose instead of listening to music, or audio books, or whatever something else. It’s really cool thing. It gives adds a new sensation to every walkingstroll. I think I can use this approach for every day. Doing that This way I develop both my speaking and writing, and also I also simultaneously improve my thinking.
Today I spent plenty of time listening to A. Serbant again. Also I also read Maslow in Russian and “Steve Jobs” in English.
I’ve started publishing my “Hour of Thinking” (https://www.proza.ru/2017/06/21/1266). I’m going to type a page every day till it is will be finished. There are 60 pages, so it’s a task for two months.
Today is X’s birthday. I called her and congratulated her. Then she said she wanted to visit me, and probably we’ll probably meet soon.
The evening was spent with Y and his wife. We were communicating from 9 to 1.Good job :) You seem to be an avaricious reader.
I would suggest using adverbs right before verbs (eg. "we'll probably meet" instead of "probably we'll meet" and "also I simultaneously" instead of "I also stimultaneously"). Also consider using "too" instead of "also", for example, "I simultaneously improve my thinking too. " instead of "I also simultaneously improve my thinking. "
