    It means that your enjoyment is now "structured" because it has an aim, an outcome, a timeline etc because a goal has been added. The "tension" is the 'good stress' feeling because you might not achieve this goal - after all, it should be challenging. So for example jogging every morning is a kind of free activity; training to run a marathon in four months adds that structural tension because in that timeline you need to achieve a certain level of progress. His main point is that although this seems scary or stressful it actually increases the satisfaction of the activity - imagine how good you would feel after completing the marathon!

    Last week I had a lesson with my professor in school. It’s my worst experience in school ever.

    I asked him if he could help me to prepare an audition and he told me he won’t help me to do any audition now because I’m not good enough for him so far. Even if I go to the audition by myself and get the job, he <em>won’t admit that I’m one of his students. </em><- Confusing

    His opinion is okay for me. Or 'I can accept his opinion.'

    And then he asked me to cook dinner for him at my place after our next lesson next Monday and he suggested we go grocery shopping together.

    I told him it’s too difficult for me. I’m afraid to screw it up. To cook for you is more difficult than to <em>act?</em> for you. He said <em>'</em>I’m going to eat your food<em>, </em>not you. You don’t worry about it.<em>' </em>I said I’m nervous. He said if you don’t want to cook then I can take you to a restaurant and we can have dinner together. (Yes, he didn’t say to invite me?? After our lesson, he text me a voice message, his way of speaking was extremely soft and weird. He was so different!

    Things came to me so suddenly and I was too shocked to react. It took two days to process and then I started to feel angry and anxious.

    It forced me to make a decision right now: to move to Poland to study or to go home.

    It’s my last time to try living in Europe so I decided to move to Poland.

    What will life be like in Poland? I don’t know. I’m both looking forward it and tired of changing my life again. How can my feelings become so complex? Will I be happy or lonely ?

    No matter whether I'm happy or lonely, it’s life and I have no choice but to be brave.

    When life gives a challenge like this, I can only accept it gracefully and smile confidently. I wish myself all the best and I will focus on my study with my original passion.

    <em>I wish you all the best too. Sorry to hear about that unfortunate incident. </em>

    You can say "my understanding is..." or "my interpretation is..." but it's unnatural to use the word 'comprehension' in that phrase. Interpretation is a more active process than understanding - it suggests you needed to mentally process and make some guesses about the events or situation to work out what it means or why it is significant

    She is the person who gave me life.She is a person who always takes care of me.She is a person who always forgives me. She is a person who teaches me a lot of sense. She always support me behinds me. supports me OR stands behind me When she ate a eats tasty food,she always remembers to share it with me.She is a good friend in my life.She always listens to my heartfeelings.I love her so much, not because she gave me a lot of material thingsplentifuled life, but because she is my Mom.

    <em>Suggestion: your writing will sound more natural if you don't use so many relative clauses (e.g. she is a person who...) - just say 'She gave me life. She teaches me a lot.' Etc. This a style note not a grammatical correction.</em>

    无缘无故熬夜 我有时候熬夜。没有原因,我只不想睡觉。哪怕我知道明天我很困也不停熬夜。其实我约熬夜我更不想睡着,因为我发现醒的时候感觉不舒服。我幸亏在家有咖啡机,所以可以起来以后就喝咖啡。我不知道中国人早上怎么不喝咖啡就上班. 我这样做的话,我会无法度过一天.

    阅读中文书:《西游记》,《水浒传》,《家春秋》 最近为发展我的词汇而学习中国文化还有历史我开始阅读中文书了。我的第一书是《西游记》,本来我对那故事感兴趣但是然后我发现那情节很重复。然后我看了《水浒传》,情节更有意思但是太多人物,我总是把一个任务和别的人无混淆。最后我在看巴金的《家春秋》,人物和情节都很有意思. 我觉得这个时代和事件很有趣。我推荐你也看这本书。[emoji]

    Here's a natural and concise way to phrase that:

    I am a 16-year-old Chinese boy / girl and I want to find some friends to talk with and learn from each other.

    You can say "My skin is dry and flaking." Not sure if there's a technical term.
