    Dream of Hugh's Mom Mom’ Dream We lived near Huntington-the capital of New Zealand when I was a child, my dad was at that time a physicist working for the government. He loved his job, and he was also willing to go out. My mom liked to do farm work, hence she persuaded my dad to move to Nelson, and there they began to look after a farm. I was only six years old when we four brothers and sisters moved to what we lived now with my dad and mom, my uncle and another single-parent family . We moved together to this apple farm about ten square hectares——a beautiful farm in mom’ dream. The farm offered a brand new life for all the children and we were all happy to play here, we used go anywhere riding bicycles or horses, and we would be full of curiosity about little woods not far from our house and many times we walked into it with fear. Dad and mom were serious and hard-working, they were used to scrimp and save everything, they put their money together and they wouldn’t spend a penny more than they needed. （to be continued）

    dear Hugh, 我没有一字一句地改，大概写了写我的理解，有错请指正。

    妈妈的梦
    小的时候，我们家就住在新西兰首都惠灵顿附近。我爸爸是个物理学家，他为政府工作。
     
    我爸爸很喜欢他的工作，但是也很愿意去外面走走。而我妈妈最爱干点农活，所以就劝说他搬到纳尔逊，开了一个公社农场。
     
    我六岁的时候，我爸妈和我们四个兄弟姐妹，加上我舅舅，还有另外一个单亲家庭，一起搬到我们现在住的地方了——一个十公顷的苹果园，这就是我妈妈梦想的美丽家园了。
     
    我们几个孩子都觉得农场的新生活挺好，玩得非常开心，我们会骑自行车或者骑马到处溜达，也会去探索我们家旁边的森林等等。我爸妈都是很认真的人，他们总是很努力地干活。他们都很节约用钱，需要一点就拿一点，钱都是放在一起也没有问题。。。。。。
      
    然而，美梦难免会变得不再完美：人与人的关系真微妙，好朋友住在一起太长时间，关系往往会变的没有以前亲密，变的陌生甚至开始互相讨厌。
     
    我舅舅是第一个走的，他是大人中间最年轻的，他去别的国家旅游和生活了，可能是他不太喜欢他受到的待遇，加上他也会觉得有一点无聊。然后是另外一个女人扰乱了我父母的生活，我妈妈的身心因此受了很大的影响。最后我父母退还了那位朋友以前交的一些钱，请她离开了这里。
     
    我妈妈一如既往地在农场卖力干活，她种了很多不同种类的树木，花草装扮农场，她乐于看到自己的土地变得如此美丽，也很开心有两个五，六岁的小孙子住在这里——这应该算她终于看到自己的美梦成真了吧。
     
    跟我舅舅一样，住在这我有时候也觉得有一点无聊，我后来住过很多不同的地方。但是现在我有了自己的孩子，小孩非常爱这个家，也很崇拜他的爸爸和奶奶。呵呵，我怎么觉得我妈妈的美梦已经渐渐变成我的美梦了。
     
    Mom’ Dream

    Unfortunately the language toolbar is not functioning properly so I cannot highlight your mistakes, but must just delete and rewrite. Some areas I cannot correct at all because the cursor will not engage. I cannot always change the colour of my own text either. 
    It is good to see you trying some relatively advanced vocabulary - you can't progress if you don't experiment. I haven't corrected your spelling, you can use Microsoft Word for that. I have put question marks in where I was not sure what you wanted to say. Good luck with your language learning - Hugh

    <em>Hello Everyone</em> 

    Hi everybody, I really want to meet some friends and chat in English here and learn some spoken English usage.

    China is a developing country. This means more than just economic development, but also development of manegement methods and people's ideas about modern society. In fact, China has to face a whole new revelution of the mind, which has been generated mostly in the West. To know more about each other, breaking language obtacles is essential. For Chinese, learning English is a way to understand the real thoughts foriegners have about China, and a sign that China is willing to become a part of the wider world.  

    After not more than 300 years studying science and struggling for democracy, Western society has become what it is today. Nowadays these developed coutries have begun to affect developing areas. Ever since, they have had quality products, advanced ideas in manegement, and cultural diversity. China has begun to learn from these neighbours and indeed this has speeded up its economical development, but cultures of East and West converge is much more difficult. Obviously exchanging some of our ideas would help us to achieve that goal, and as a converstion between two persons of different backgrounds, we would have much more fun and suprise.

    Beijing is a modern city with ancient history, its history stories and unique cluture attracts many people coming here, I am sure you'll say wow if you come to Beijing, for Chinese are always warm-hearted and will try their best to let any guest feel at ease and be happy in China. Please feel free to ask me if you want to know more about Beijing!

    Your Chinese is fairly good, writing several paragraphes to describe your  journey is not an easy task.

    Retrying Lost

    I lost my keys. I will look under the sofa.
    我的钥匙丢<strike>失</strike>了。我去<strike>在看底下一个</strike>沙发底下找找。
    注解(Note)：丢失 is more fomal than 丢了，在 means  you are doing sth, 去 means you are going to do sth, slightly.  If we lost sth, we use 找(zhao)  to explain' look  for'.
