Hello, Lori. You attended the INFORMAL TUTORING: READING & WRITING with me on Saturday, April 18, 2020. Since we did not receive a chance to discuss the subjects that you desire to learn during the INFORMAL TUTORING, you luckily provided me with some of your homework. Unfortunately, we did not have a sufficient amount of time to cover every question on your homework. However, I firmly believe that we covered the essentials, allowing you to continue forward with absolute certainty. Your homework was primarily focusing on the concept of slang, especially testing your ability to translate an informal phrase to a formal one, or vice versa. Overall, I genuinely appreciate your vigorous attempts to translate a slang into a more formal phrase. There were solely minor errors, but I can sense that you comprehended them once I provided further explanation. I am immensely proud of you. Thank you for attending the INFORMAL TUTORING: READING & WRITING with me. Sincerely, Ryan Shen

Hello, Lori. The INFORMAL TUTORING: PRONUNCIATION & LISTENING occurred on Saturday, February 8, 2020. The INFORMAL TUTORING primarily comprised an INFORMAL DISCUSSION, where we engaged in a conversation on the subject of “Silly Questions.” We mainly referred to several questions from the following website: http://iteslj.org/questions/silly.html I was exceedingly astonished by your capability to express yourself substantially in English. However, I noticed that you were occasionally not aware of your improper usage of the grammatical tenses, specifically the present and the past tense. Furthermore, you were intermittently not conscious of your irregular usage of the singularity and plurality of certain terms. It is significant to realize those errors, as they can allow you to improve your speaking. Overall, I was immensely proud of your progress in learning English. Thank you for attending the INFORMAL TUTORING: PRONUNCIATION & LISTENING. Sincerely, Ryan Shen

    Starship Troopers I have just read a book named "Starship Troopers". It's a masterpiece of Robert Anson Heinlein, the most influencial sci-fi writer in USA, and won the "Hugo Award" in 1960. It is more like a serious philosophy book rather than a science fiction book, and break my stereotype that sci-fi books only rely on sensory shock to entertain readers. This book contains responsibility, hard life and state system. Science fiction is only subject matter, thought is the essence.

    Actually you can read it whatever you what. But you can see, 十八 is just two syllables while 三百三十七 is five syllables. For easy pronunciation, we'd like to say 三三七.

    Cliches On the last class, our English teacher told us to aviod chliches when writing. Then, he gave us some examples which we are not supposed to use. Well, that was a really interesting class and I learnt a lot. However, I was a bit disappointed... Are they cliches for native speakers? Really? These words and phrases are so fresh for me that I even don't know their meanings. There is still a long way to go in English learning.

    Make noodles. Due to geographical factors, North China is suitable for the growth of wheat while South is rice. Because of this, people in different regions have different eating habits. As one who borns in the southwest of China, It's not very usual for me to eat noodles. However, I left home and went to Tianjin to study where is more than 2000 kilometers away from my hometown. I have been in this city for 3 years and my eating habits have been influenced a lot. It's winter vacation now. I came back home. I wanna share some northern specialty food which my parents haven't had and finally I decided to make Shanxi Oily Noodles. Making dough is the most difficult step for me, but thank god, I succeeded! My mom liked it! I'm so happy!

    First class of this semester As a result of the outbreak of novel coronavirus, I have stayed at home for several days. Starting school has been put off, and students were schooling on Internet. It's a very bizarre experience to have a class using phone or labtap. We can send emoji and commentaries when we are watching teaching vedio. We also have some unusual homework which needs smart phone to finish it. What's more, I found it's better to communicate with our teacher on class. Although there used to be many online lesson, it's learning with some strangers. Have class with familiar classmates is very interesting for me. Not hard to image, Chinese teaching system will be huge impacted. We see another potential form of teaching, and online education market went into people's sight. However, I still very miss my firends and want to go back school soon. Hope they are all stay healthy.

    My Hometown I was born and bred in Yibin, Sichuan province. It's a middle-sized city crowned as "Liquor City", because of the prosperous brewery. Located on the origin of Yangtze River, there are plenty of famous scenic spots, such as "蜀南竹海" and “兴文石林”. However, what I dislike in here is the changeable weather, and it's too wet.

    三月份的时候，我打算去釜山旅游，可是我的韩语还在初级水平。
    我听说当地公交车广播只有韩语，而且下次和下下次的站名一起广播。要是我听不清楚车站的话可怎么办呢？这样子真的很容易听错啊。
    我下载了Naver Map，它可以显示距离公交车到站还有几分几秒，韩国人可真是急性子。
    我得好好努力学习韩语了。

    Hello, Anee. This is a good question. To know what is "己丑", we should learn about "天干地支" at first. In ancient Chinese, nobody knows common era. However, we have our own chronology. 天干：甲、乙、丙、丁、戊、己、庚、辛、壬、癸（a total of ten） 地支：子、丑、寅、卯、辰、巳、午、未、申、酉、戌、亥 (a total of twelve) Chinese people arrange them together like 甲子、乙丑、丙寅、丁卯、戊辰、己巳、庚午、辛未、壬申、癸酉 and then we go 甲戌 and 乙亥.... Because 天干 has ten charactors and 地支 has twelve charactors, we can get sixty combinations. So you see, we can use them to name the year——今年是农历己丑年. Likewise, 天干地支 can also be used to name months, days and hours. 十二生肖, 也叫做属相，is evolved from the 地支. 子-鼠 丑-牛 寅-虎 卯-兔 ... 十二生肖可用于表示某个人的出生年份。 例如，小明出生于1998年，是农历戊寅年。因此，我们可以说： "小明属虎". 2020年是庚子年，也是鼠年。如果一个人属鼠，那么他今年一定是0岁、12岁、24岁、36岁…… 如果你不好意思问一个人的年龄，你可以试着问他的属相，这样你就知道他多少岁了。
