I had an excellent first lesson with Liou Yan. Her spoken English is very good. She has a good vocabulary and knowledge of English grammar. Her pronunciation is clear with only occasional hesitation or hunting for words. Liou Yan is motivated to improve her spoken English and I'm sure that with practice she will become more comfortable and confident with English conversation. It was a pleasure to meet Liou Yan and I hope to have the opportunity to work with her again in the future.

Yan; It was nice to meet you! I think that we can work together to increase both your 'accessible' English vocabulary and your confidence. 🙂

    Body paragraph one for a 1000 word essay The first time writing essay like this, almost dying right now. Someone come help me out heeeeeere... Q-Q ---------------------------------------- The main intention of setting SIS is harm reduction, which basic on the ideal that drug addiction is a serious life threatening illness rather than a criminal (Macdonald 2011). Due to sharing of needles and syringes, the intravenous injection can lead a high possible contagious of HIV and Hepatitis. Thus, SIS provides a safe and hygienic environment which drug users are served sterile equipment to subside transmission of blood borne infections. What more, there are trained medical counselors who can give assistance such as administrating overdoes-reversing medicines to drug users to prevent the fatalities cause by overdoes (Prance 2019). The staff members in SIS also can referrals the drug addicts to access a treatment program or even give welfare information and legal services in the area (Nursing@USC Staff 2019). However, there are opposite concerns about what might affect drug users in SIS. For instance, with a safe and comfortable place to inject, addicts could have become more complacent. SIS might encourage them in the activity instead of serving a deterrent. There are many studies have already shown the positive resorts. The studie about SIS in Vancouver “Insite” has found that 23% of respondents had stopped injecting by the end of the study period, and another 57% had entered addiction treatment (Rourke and Bacon 2014). Also, in the Sydney Medically Supervised injecting Centre in Australia, 16% addicts who received referrals for addiction treatment services confirmed actually participation in addiction treatment programs (Rourke and Bacon 2014). in accordance with these evidences, the outcome of the harm reduction policy is a tremendous success.

    The introduction of research essay- Supervised injection sites I did one yesterday, but I decided to change my opinion, so there is a new introduction here. Also, need some academic correction in grammar, words choice. :) -------------------- How can an illegitimate behavior be sanctioned just because it happened under a specific place? The matter of the fact, this is happening in a supervised injection site. Supervised injection sites (SIS) are facilities whose aims is “harm reduction” for those illicit drug users. SIS first emerged in The Netherlands since 1970s, then imitated by Switzerland, Germany and more other countries (Macdonald 2011). Until 2019, there are 100 SIS all over the world, which brings a lot of advantages to drug users and the communities around it. By research into the individual outcome of harm reduction, the impact of the communities around SIS and the economic efficiency, SIS is definitely a beneficial implement for the drug policy.

Until 2019, there are 100 SIS all over the world, mostly established in Europe, and there is only one SIS in North America where located in Vancouver, Canada. Are the world benefited from the emerging of SIS? If yes, why there is only one SIS established in North America during the past fifty years? Considering the origins of SIS, the individual outcome of harm reduction and the impact of the communities around SIS, the expansion of SIS should be suspend and reconsidered after more comprehensive surveys and studies.

    总的来说融入外国的文化是不容易的。首先需要学习当地的语言,其次需要认识本地人。通常<s>对</s>外国人只认识<s>自己国家</s>同国籍的人,或者认识<em>国际社会 </em><em>(is this a name of a specific community?) </em>的人,因为比较容易,而且其他的外国人都也在找新的朋友。
    为了认识本地人,你需要参加当地的活动。比如运动队、文化活动, 等等。虽然同事不是朋友,在工作场合也可以帮助你融入。
    虽然融入一个国家的文化须要很长的时间,但是一切都是值得的<s>那么多努力</s>。

    In general integrating into a culture of a foreign country isn’t easy. First you need to learn the language of the country. Second you need to meet local people. Often foreigners just know other people from their own country. Or maybe they meet people from<em> the International community</em>. The reason is that it is easier. In addition other foreigners are also looking for friends.
    In order to meet local people you need to participate in local activities. Like sports teams, cultural activities, etc. Although colleagues aren’t friends work can help people integrate.
    Although integrating in a foreign culture takes a long time it is worth making such a big effort.

    Ways in which people could be encouraged to take more exercise. Do you like sport? Do you do exercise like a routine or only do exercise at the time when you want yourself looked fiter? Although we know exercise is an important part for us to keep ourselves healthy, keep us in a good shape and make our thought sharper, there are still many people do not like exercise. What is more, ever you are not that hate sport, it still seems difficult to maintain a consistent sport habit. Is there any way to change it? First, the education is always essential. Not only well broadcast the various beneficial influence a good sport habit can bring, but the relative physiology and mental change during our workout. For example, why some of us feel painful when jogging while others feel they can run forever without limit? If we can know more about where those uncomfortable feeling come from during exercise, and we be well taught about how to deal with it or how to ease the desire to quit, we are more likely to get used to exercise. Second, talking about not to quit a good habit, no other way is better than make sport a compulsory obligation at work and school. We all have this familiar experience that we set up a goal to go to the gym every day after work, we maintain it for a week and then we have to stop it because we work a double-shift a single day the next week. there are thousands excuses for us to quit the painful activity though we are so benefited. Therefor, why not make it an unchoosable task? Weather we like it or not, we need to do it and we will get the advantage either way. Furthermore, sport is that kind of activity that as you start used to it, you would be more and more thirsting for it. That someone make the exercise a rule at the painful beginning will help a lot. In conclusion, there ate ways other people can help to encourage us to do exercise, but it is certainly true that we have to cat ourselves. So, just do it! Let's sport!

    Use or learn or know a language I've been learning English for more then 20 years. But not until the recent tow years, I can not say that I speak English. Before you can only say I "KNOW" English. Because, I maybe know the grammar, know a lots vocabulary, but I couldn't ask or answer a completed question even maybe I understood. And most of the time, I did not understand, especially when it comes to the very quickly, unclear pronounced daily conversation. And how come I can say I speak English recently? Cuz, I "USE" English. I went to aboard and lived aboard for tow years. I needed to use English. Even thought I can't speak a completed sentence, I still need to speak! Or else I would die. So, little by little, I started speaking English, and get the feeling of that I can speak English. So, there is the little feedback of my two years aboard life, when learning a language, use it! Or you're just know it.

    飞模型飞机吗 ?- Flying model planes

    最近,我总是很期待周末。因为每个周六,我跟一个好朋友会一起去一个很大的公园飞 玩遥控模型飞机(radio controlled model plane)。从2019年,我们共同决定开始这个爱好 (开始喜欢玩遥控飞机)。于是我们两个去买了一辆模型飞机。需要买遥控器,几个电池,一个充电器和一辆模型飞机。我们两个每人一共花了大概$200-$300。

    1月初是我们的第一次去公园飞 玩飞机。在公园,发现了已经有很多人飞 玩模型飞机或者遥控无人机(radio control drone)。大多数年轻人喜欢玩遥控无人机。跟我一样的年龄人好像比较喜欢玩模型飞机。不道为什么。

    飞 玩模型飞机不容易。在一开始的时候,我的一辆架飞机卡在树上。我也给它撞了很多次。平日花了时间修理它。很幸运现在我的技能 技术还不错。要不然,我没办法,要放弃这个爱好。花了太多钱,太多时间。

    当我想去公园,放了我的飞机在车上,我的宠物狗儿特别兴奋。它会用后肢两只(后)脚跳舞,很好笑 (想说:he dances on his hind legs)。这就是他的方式告诉我他想跟着我(在 告诉我 他想跟着我)。不这道他怎么知道我想去一个很好玩的地方。所以,有时候我将会带它(带着它)跟我一起去。你看照片,我的飞机比我狗儿大。
