Hi. I am an architect in Australia. I lived in Chengdu for a couple of years where I began learning Chinese. I'm interested in literature, music, art and design. I'm looking for a language exchange partner who speaks Mandarin.

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself

    hi! my dear friends :D
    my chinese name is chengshihan.(you can try to read it!)
    but my friends often call me cici,i like this name. hah
    i dont know what i should write in the short essay and wheather i should wirte formally or informally.
    well,first,let me introduce myself.<strike>im</strike> I was born in 1994<strike>/7/20</strike> on the 20th of July. its a hot day in china.
    so im like the weather in july(sunny,outgoing).im a senior high school student.you may <strike>dont</strike> not know,a chinese senior high school student's life in very boring.we are pushed to study,study,study by our parents and teachers.
    they make us just have <strike>an</strike> one aim-to enter a good university.education kills our <strike>creation</strike> creativity and imagination.so i hate chinese education which is just <strike>be</strike> filled with exams and scores.
    well,maybe i should stop complaining about it.even though there are a lot of problems in china's education(maybe not just education, but also politics <strike>such as political</strike>)i still love country-i think its a basic character.i love the country's culture,history,food and so on.and most people in china are nice and friendly.our country is a developing country.so it is sure to have some problems.i think i should have a toletant heart to face it.i believe they will be solved some day(maybe they are waiting until i grow up:D)i hope other countries can be toletant,too.
    im 16 years old.so i can say im still a girl(hah)so i love evergthing that girls like, i like bright colors.i like beautiful clothes.i like lovely dolls.i l like singing.i like fashion magazines,i like handsome boys like EDWARD etc.(twilight is popular in china!).
    about english,eh,i have learmed english for several years.in china,its our main subject.but most students' level is <strike>in</strike> low.(including mine),they can only <strike>just can</strike> write, but their spoken english is poor.(i think that is because of our way of teaching <strike>teaching way</strike>).
    but i still love the language,no matter what scores i can get how many scores in exams.its not important for me.i find the web by chances.i hope i can improve my english and maybe more importantly, i hope I can make friends.XD and im curious about western culture. every culture is beautiful,right?and maybe i will study in an English-speaking country in the fututre. so i hope i can speak english fluently.
    now english is the most common language in the world,so its more resseary to make it!
    thanks for <strike>your</strike> reading(i know it may be boring = =)
    maybe its my longest essay,(our exam just ask us to write passage in 100words)so i really dont know what i can write.
    eh,hope you have a nice mood.
    hope this essay have less mistake.
    thanks again :)

    Your English is very good for a high school student! You're certainly very talkative, which will make learning a language easier. I know what studying is like in China, it's not easy. Don't forget to enjoy your youth!
