First notebook entry: Introducing myself

Ok......To start with, I realy like the English language. I like to read books in its original (language?), listen to English songs, and <strike>to</strike> write my own... And as we all know, it's very important in the modern world to speak English. <strike>The</strike> Great Britain is also great with it's elegance <strike>and</strike> . The people - sensible and interesting. I'd also like to learn Japanese because it's a dream <strike>of</strike> from my childhood. I am interested in all that has connection with this country: history, culture, fashion, art, music, and so on. That's what is important <strike>for</strike> to me. My friend Elly supports my obsession. ^_^)))))))

A very interesting read and good English. :]

I think it depends on the two people breaking up (friendship or something else). From personal experience, I've stayed good friends with some and also have it not work at all with others. All you can really do is try if you think it's worth it.

I am (or "I'm") going to quit next week, but I feel <strike>sorry</strike> sad because I have to leave my dear colleague. This job is very stressful. <strike>and</strike> When we <strike>went</strike> go out for dinner together, everyone will give a toast to our boss or ("and our clients"?) our clients, but I never touch alcohol. So my boss looks <strike>not</strike> unhappy. I think I should change my job.

It's a little unclear whether the business dinner <em>will happen</em> or <em>has happened</em> already. 
(I changed it to <em>will happen </em>so correct me if I'm wrong)

<em>"10.am.got out of bed,then practiced English hearing.Now practice reading."</em>


At 10:00 a.m., I got out of bed. Then I practiced English hearing. Now, I'm practice reading.


"practice reading" sounds a little awkward and might be wrong, but I'm just not sure based on the context of the sentence.

Anyways, I hope this helps!

"I had a cake." means you ate the whole cake by yourself. -------- "I had a piece of cake." means you ate only a portion of the cake. -------- You will more often want to say "I had some cake." because it does not specify how much cake you ate just simply that you ate cake. -------- Saying "I had some cakes." means you ate more than one cake by yourself. -------- "I had a cake." and "I had some cakes." should be avoided as they sound funny.

First notebook entry: Introducing myself

Hello everyone! My name is Diandian. I am from Sichuan Chengdu of China.
I am a college student of Sichuan University. I am majoring in ACCA, but my English is so poor.
Could you help me?


Grammar (capitalization, punctuation, etc.)


On a scale of 1-10, I'd say you get a 9. You have no misspelled words and very little errors in general. Learn to capitalize after each sentence and for proper nouns (e.x. Diandian, Sichuan Chengdu, etc.).

Wonderful English!
