- Keep a diary (Tuesday, May 26th, 2020.)Tuesday, May 26th, 2020.I have been living in Canada for 10 months to study English, even though Canada uses English as one of their languages. However, I'm still not making much progress with my English. I guess one of the reasons is because there are a lot of Chinese people here and they also have a China Town, which means you can just speak in Mandarin. You don't even have to use English that much when you go out. Another reason is because all of my roommates come from the same country as me. The thing is, due to this situation with the COVID-19 pandemic/epidemic, everything has switched to online and everyone just stays at home. I also have not made many friends. I was supposed to go back to my country next year in April, but now I might go back sooner in September 2020 instead. I don't have enough time to study. To be honest, I am afraid to go back to my country, because my English hasn't (has not) improved much. If someone asks me to speak English when I go back to my country, I think I will be ashamed and shy to speak."You have nothing to be ashamed of or shy about. You can be proud of where your English thus far. Keep motivated and trying to improve with every sentence. - Good luck in your journey with the English language! "0 votedMay 26, 20201

Can you correct please?
Dear Jo,
Yesterday I went to see a film at the UCI CINEMA in Florence, that it is one of the biggest multi-screen cinemas in my town. I saw “SULLA MIA PELLE”, a film about a news report of from some years ago, in which the protagonist is killed by the police. It was an amazing and dramatic film.
Would you like to see a film next week?
Let me know.
See you soon, (Usually, you would put a comma after [See you soon,] only IF you used one when you addressed the person you are speaking to [Dear Jo,]. Otherwise, you can choose to leave out the comma in both locations but just remember it should be kept consistent throughout the communication.)Tommaso

However, a lot of people don't want to learn something new and they think that they can speak in any languages if they will live in a native country. I disagree with it this. Usually, it is this does not happened. In any Wherever places people try choose to live, they find people a similar like yourself to themselves. We know that in popular countries there exists a lot of local reservations/areas then where people may live in their original/native culture and create a small separated region intro the foreign country. In this case, many generations can may feel yourself like immigrants in their own country.
This is very true. Well done on this piece. Keep on writing and you will get better every time you do. If you are also interested in conversational learning, don't hesitate to book a lesson.
0 votedNovember 26, 20180We must admit that in a time like the present, it is necessary to acquire to knowledge a "working" knowledge of a language like English. it is a necessary. In the modern world, we have access to any an infinite/unlimited amount of information. Establishment fact, is that more than 50 present percent of the articles in on the internet are wrote written in English and every day there appear are new ones that appear. Moreover, in my opinion, it is not something unique to know more than one language. it is not something unique. It is just a useful and needful skill to have/obtain.

I bought a pack of instant coffee when I was in my first year. Now I am in my third year. The shelf life is two years. How time flies! My vitamins, sunscreen and cold medicine have also past their shelf lifes lives. I even have one a hair gel. Since I bought those staff things I haven't touched them again. I guess the coffee can still be drunk, I guess, because only two months past have passed.0 votedNovember 25, 20181Essay #309 "Globalization and its Positive Influence" 25.11.18
With the recent development of transportation and communication, our world has changed drastically. All these alterations in our lives have provided people with great opportunities and made our world more interconnected and interdependent. This phenomenon is known as globalization, however, some people believe that this creates only negative effects on people and their culture.
First of all, people, faulty, tend to think that our culture is static, whereas it is a living organism which grows, transforms and dies. Globalization is just another phase in its development and progress. so These changes may be positive or negative, but only from a subjective point of view. Our current culture is the direct result of the same changes which have happened in previous years and epochs.
Another point is that deep cultural segregation inevitably creates ideological and religious tense between countries and societies. Aside from that the fact, that all this can be escalated to serious conflicts, this also creates problems in collaboration. It is much easier when people have some mutual cultural base, which can help them to understand each other and not stressing the difference between them.
Finally, with globalization, our world becomes closer and people gain more opportunities to fulfill their dreams and goals. Eventually, this process can be ended up in creating an absolutely free world, where people would not be constrained by country borders or nationalities. This would not only improve living standards of people, but also give them more freedom.
To conclude, in spite of the fact that some people deem globalization as a pure evil, this is not true. In many cases, their complaints are based on the fact that they cannot accept that our culture is an ever-changing entity. Many of the alterations which are brought by globalization provides people with more freedoms and opportunities and have an overall positive effect on their lives.0 votedNovember 25, 20180Introduce Myself
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I am Lily and currently, I am a company account manager for the large customer department of the Guizhou Branch.
I graduated from sun-yet sen University with a bachelor's degree in 2012. Currently, I am a graduate student in business administration at Guizhou University. I will reply to defend the paper in March next year. I will finally be able to claim myself as a postgraduate student.
I am very honored to be here today. I To say that is this from my heart because I really feel the importance attached (from the leadership of the head office in their good intentions for the personal training of the talents).
I entered the Bank of Communications in 2014. At the beginning, I was in the Human Resources Department. I was mainly responsible for cadre work and party work. Through the exercise of my experience working in the Human Resources Department, I really have a more comprehensive and macroscopic view of the world. and It also let allowed me to have a deeper understanding in the system formulation, process optimization, implementation guarantee, etc. Of course, I am very hard working. Under Through my strong sense of responsibility, I have extraordinary execution in my work.
Since I hold the thought that to do finance, we must go to the real battlefield, and go to the place where we can see the smoke. I chose to go to the big customer department as an account manager. To be honest, the transformation of the role is huge, the process of transformation is painful, but the speed of my transformation is still very fast.
Of course, there are some successful cases, of course. but there are more failures., which is are more. I have met countless customers who let me face their closed doors., and I have encountered difficulties in finding business opportunities, but the customer's capital needs are not something we can solve, and also I have also written countless reports, but the results have not come to an good end.
However, But I have always told myself that I have tried my best to in do everything I do, even if the results are not as good as I would have expected, I am not sorry for it.
Moreover, many times, it is not the successful and smooth cases that can bring me inspirations. It is often the countless failedure cases that make me a better person, and a stronger one. After that, I am more hardworking, and I am becoming a person who is more willing to challenge and overcome difficulties. and overcome difficulties!0 votedNovember 24, 20181
