First notebook entry: Introducing myself
I'm a Chinese girl from the Sichuan Province. I'm seventeen years old and I like reading, sports, and math. <strike>The</strike> What interests me most is travelling.
With the continuing development of the world, English is becoming more and more important. I want to learn English so that I can communicate with others.0 votedAugust 16, 20101justin's notebook entry: Jul 30, 2010
Justin was a naughty boy. His mother often got angry with him <strike>what he did</strike>.
One day, he got into trouble again. His mother was very angry with him.
His mother said to him, "Justin, kneel down in front of the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva (she is a famous figure in Buddhism in China). You can't leave until the statue lets you go." Justin was very sad. He had no choice but to kneel down sadly. His mother went out and did her own work. When she came back, Justin wasn't there. His mother was very indignant (Chinese parents <strike>like</strike> expect their children to be competely obedient. <strike>obey their rule very much</strike>) She found Justin playing with his friends.She <strike>abused</strike> berated her son and furiously asked, "Why didn't you <strike>not </strike>obey my rules?" Justin said one sentence <strike>word</strike> and his mother felt shocked and helpless.
Justin said, "The statue gave me an OK gesture, so I left."0 votedAugust 16, 20100First notebook entry: Introducing myself

Dear friends , I really miss you all ! I want to talk <strike>with you </strike>and spend time with you all. <strike> ,and play with you</strike>. As always, <font class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000FF">l</font>ife for me is always beautiful and busy. I have moved <strike>schoolyard </strike>from one school to another, so I <strike>couldn't</strike> haven't been able to connect to the internet these days. By the way , I <strike>find</strike> found a job near my school, so I am not free during the daytime. Hope everybody's <strike>happy every day! </strike>doing well! Haha!
Notes:
The phrase in pink is optional but it helps improve the flow of your sentence.
What do you mean by schoolyard? Do you mean a dorm or dormitory? The word 'schoolyard' reminds me of the word 'playground' in American English.
I changed "play with you" to "spend time with you" since the phrase "play with you" can sound a bit young.
You sound very casual and native-like when you start the sentence with "Hope everybody's..."
Since you are an advanced learner of English, I replaced "happy everyday" with "doing well" since this is a more commonly used phrase in America.
Hope this helps!0 votedJuly 24, 20101
