因為春節要到了，所以我們剪「春」字。這是馬修第一次剪紙嗎？我覺得剪得很不錯！雖然「春」下面的部分有點胖胖的，但很有藝術字的感覺呢～兔年要到了，恭喜發財，兔年行大運！ 2023.1.10

这次给马修看了我剪的「春」字，没想到马修对剪纸有兴趣！我刚开始剪纸的时候觉得好像会很难，但一剪就停不下来，因为感觉很疗愈😄春节快到了，我们可以用这些剪纸的作品来布置家里喔！ 2023.1.3

科技进步给人们的生活带来了许多好处，但也有一些坏处。比如，手机及社交媒体的发达使人们的专注力降低；不像以前，看书可以看一个小时；现在看了十五分钟就会拿起手机滑呀滑。别说是小孩了，就连大人也无法克制地放下书本、拿起手机。我觉得这样好可惜，花时间耐心地思考，是很重要的一件事。嗯，我要去看书了～ 2022.11.16

很高興認識馬修。馬修的中文很不錯，可以流利地對答。只要多增加詞彙，馬修的中文水平一定會越來越好，能談論的話題也會更多。近幾年，親自烘焙咖啡豆的咖啡廳，在台灣越來越受歡迎；不只是馬修，好像很多人都喜歡親自動手烘焙豆子呢！除了親手做咖啡，還會親手做飾品和衣服；台灣常常有手作市集喔！我覺得馬修應該會喜歡。 2022.11.9

    Memorization of vocabulary #7

    Good day to you, travelers! I'm studying English and could use some help. Please, find my grammar and semantic errors, I'll be grateful ^^. I made these sentences for vocabulary memorization. If I missed with lexis - please, improve it too.

    1. You can't tackle the wind into a bottle.
    2. Don't scowl at me, I'm not afraid!
    3. I wish hope they will be able to be reconciled(Take off the 'd'), even after all these misunderstandings.
    4. I hear some coins are rattling in your pockets.
    5. The fence was reinforced with a thick wire.
    6. After breathing the stuffy air in a(Since it sounds like you are talking about a specific classroom change a to the) the classroom, the cold winter wind seemed a dainty touchwas a welcome change for Henry. (The second half of this sentence was a little odd. We usually wouldn't use dainty to describe the wind.)
    7. I like this book because it has such intricate plot.
    8. After John's resignation Mary could sleep well.
    9. With such a disguise no one will notice us!
    10. This child is God's handful(If you replace handful with punishment this sentence makes sense, but it sounds like the child is an unwelcome thing, as it is written its difficult to understand)for my crimes! (as punishment) \ Only a handful of all amount of(You don't need this) people knows(Take off the 's') about this issue (as quantity)

    Thanks a lot!

    technology & find job Technology & Finding Employment (Capitalize title, this is also a little more descriptive & natural sounding)

    In a word, In this era of science and technology, the increasing use of technology in the workplace can help people gain job work more efficiently, no matter whether they are young or old. Young people can benefit in their job search from having proficient technology skills, while experienced older people with these skills will be favored by employers from service industry(Is it just the service industry that will favor these people?). Finding a job sometimes can be hard difficult (hard is correct, but personally I prefer difficult here) but having the ability to work comfortably with technology will make you more attractive to employers. and sometimes not, it mostly depends on people’s own choices.


    Your first sentence talks about how technology in the workplace can help people work more efficiently, while your paragraph focused on how being able to use technology makes you more employable, no matter what your age/experience level is. This is a good article, but my advice would be to make your first sentence more directly relevant to the rest of the paragraph.

    I guess a bicycle is the most popular transport vehicle, isn't it? I remember having my first bicycle as a child. It was one for teenagers. I learned to ride it on the same day I got it. Unfortunately, it was stolen. After that, I got another one. At the age of 16, I started bicycling with a coach, but not for a long time. Now I don't have a bicycle, but I think I will buy one in the future.

    过得好吗？ 大家好。我上次在这里写了文章已经差不多两年以前！ 这两年的时间发生了很多事儿。 我去年回去了美国读完了大学。以前在北京留学的一年的时间。今年五月终于毕业了大学。毕业后回去我的家乡丹佛过度了。八月底我来到了韩国。我在这里参加韩语课，然后一年后在这里打算上硕士生。我觉得学习语言很好玩儿，所以就选择学习另外一种语言！ 我发现中文和韩文有很多相同的地方，但是当然不象的更多。比如说中文的语法特别简单，开始学习韩语才意识到这一点。中文的动词，形容词什么的都是有一个形式，每个情况都一样。韩语并不那么容易。韩语当中词形变化挺多的，而且要看什么情况之下在用。对比你老的人有尊敬话，对朋友们一样的句子有另外一个形式。这一点让我特别糊涂！一年之内我能学到够的水平上硕士生？这一点我也不太清楚。我的研究节目是关于中国其实，所以除了韩语课以外，还会有些中文来教的课。因此我要边学习韩语边继续提高我的汉语水平。好不容易的事儿 ；）。朋友们有什么推荐?

    Take a camera on the trip


    As is known to us all, people can not remember all the their past experiences. So how do we recall the happiness in from the past? I believe the answer is the photos we took in the past. A photo can record one scene, one activity, or represent a frozen moment of the past. (don't need to mention the past again since it is already clear)
    So, the most important thing that I’ll take on the my trip is a camera. This one-year-trip I am away from home seems remarkable in my past life. I’ll have many unusual experiences on the wonderful trip. And I can acquire more. Obviously, it should will be remembered for a long period years to come. If I freeze frame these in the photos, I can share my smile and the interesting experiences with my parents or friends after my I coming(come) back. And when I get old, I can deeply understand gain a deeper understanding about how splendid my life once be(was) by turning over opening up the photo album. Isn’t that the sweetest thing?
    That’s why I’ll take a camera on this trip. I wanna(want to) remember my beautiful memory(memories) and share them with others.

    在中国留学 大家好， 我最近很少上italki. 我八月搬去北京留学。在北京语言大学学习汉语。结果我常常繁忙，每天努力学习 ;). 我很久跟我的italki朋友们没聊天，你们过得怎么样啊？ 我最近不错。我交了很多新的朋友们，他们从四面八方来的，很有意思。除了学中国的文化以外，我还可以学很多别的国家的文化。住在中国也对我的汉语肯定有好处，已觉得我的汉语进步进得相当快。上课的时候老师就会说汉语，本来我觉得很困恼，然而我的听力越来越好。 住在北京很有意思，有很多好玩的地方。比如说昨天我去了圆明园。我跟朋友们一整天逛逛了。风景很漂亮及人比较少。虽然北京有意思，但也有一些方面不太好。例如北京的空气特别不好，北京的交通也很烦恼。现在我已经习惯了，但是到北京之后我有点难受。我大都喜欢在北语上学。我不是在赶回国。 大家再见
