- I think that it depends how similar the foreign language is to your mother tongue. If the language has very different sounds, of course it will be difficult to pronounce. My mother tongue is English so I find languages such as German a little easier to pronounce than languages like Chinese.0 votedOctober 16, 20100
- 我的第一天在大连 在我老家,我哭了在飞机场。我不想离开我妈妈,我不想一个人去这么悠远的地方。她的拥抱很温柔,跟我说再见。我才19岁。 在飞机上,我睡不觉。我在巴黎,上海,都要换个飞机,一共要24个小时多了。我的大学教师已经帮了我找一个中国家庭,他们说我能这年根他们一起住。可是我只知道他的名字叫刘老师。他的照片,联系方式,甚至电话号,我都没有。他们说他肯定会在大连飞机场看见我,而且他回带一个大名片写上我的名字。 我本来很紧张。从上海到大连的飞机只要两个小时。可是只有我一个外国人在这个飞机,别的人都是中国人,都说中国话。我已经学了两年汉语,可是完全听不懂。可是越来越累,就没有生动感觉紧张,只想睡觉。。 我们到大连了,我才觉得很兴奋了。我会有机会洗脸,去厕所,等等!我已经累死了。我一到大连飞机场就近去卫生间。我就觉得好多了。不知道在卫生间多久,可是我出来的时候,我看别的游客都已经走了,只有我一个人的行李还在传送带上!我取回行李后,还要办理通关手续。 我找不到刘老师,他看了别的游客都来比我早,他以为我不在飞机上。我又想哭了!我没有他的联系方式,我的手机在中国不能用,我真的不知道怎么办。。。 我找到了一个公用的电话,给我妈妈打电话,可是没有人在。我等了十分钟,然后一个男人来问我“你是Lynnette Martin 吗?你会说中国话吗?”。 我听不懂他说什么,可是我很高兴他找到了我!他也不会说英语,我安静得跟着他去他的车。 我们坐车去他的家,我从窗户第一次看看中国。那时候,我还不知道这个人是谁,可是好像他认识我,我只是希望他不骗我。我用很简单的英文问他:”Who are you?” 他回答了: “you will live in my house”。 欢迎你到大连。October 13, 2010155
beatriz's notebook entry: Oct 12, 2010: "reading"
I like to read very much. If you ask me what my favourite hobby is, I can say without a doubt that it´s reading. Yes, when you take a new book in your hands and you open it, you can feel how a world of sensations is beginning. I read one, two, three pages and... I´m in a new world. Then, it´s very difficult for me to abandon it. I feel the characters are like my friends and I live the story like a parallel life. Of course, if the book is really special, magical... when it's a good book and a great writer.
Sometimes, I try to write a special history like those great writers, but... I have not yet been able to do it... I think that I must keep reading to learn.... and especially to enjoy.
Hi Beatriz, I love reading too! I really enjoyed reading your notebook entry, hope my suggestions are helpful for your English studies0 votedOctober 12, 20101
