First notebook entry: Introducing myself
I am learning English, because I want to go abroad for further study after I graduate from the university next year. My native language is Chinese, and I grew up in Changshu, Suzhou, Jiangsu province...umm...I enjoy dancing, singing, reading, jogging, and maybe drawing. Actually, I have many hobbies. And ...umm.. my major is computer science. I like it too.

Great English. You say, "maybe drawing." This sounds like you aren't sure if you like drawing. This may be your intended meaning. Or you may mean, "I kind of like drawing," i.e. I like it a bit.

Tomb sweeping Day
Today is the first day of the three-day Tomb Sweeping Holiday.
This is a generally. good time of year, but my family still was worried that the weather wouldn't be suitable. Still, today's weather was OK. So my mother asked me to drive her to the cemetary. We left home at 9:30 am and spent one hour driving. We met my father there.
My father was an eye doctor. He helped over a hundred blind patients to see the world again. He's my idol, although I'm not a doctor. Standing in front of his tomb, my mother began to tell him about all that had happened this year. She asked him to bless me with a good life, a good job, health, etc. Then I told my father sth about my plans for this year.
On the way home, I thought about my father. I do feel a bit sad. I miss him. Anyway, I'm happy my mother and I got a chance to see him.0 votedApril 3, 20110- RESTRICTIVE CLAUSE--THAT A restrictive clause is just part of a sentence that you can't get rid of because it specifically restricts some other part of the sentence. Examples: "Cars that have hybrid technology get great gas mileage." "Gems that sparkle often elicit forgiveness." The words "that have hybrid technology" or "that sparkle" restrict the kind of gems you're talking about. Without them, the meaning of the sentence would change. Without them, you'd be saying that all gems elicit forgiveness, not just the gems that sparkle. NONRESTRICTIVE CLAUSE--WHICH A nonrestrictive clause is something that can be left off without changing the meaning of the sentence. You can think of a nonrestrictive clause as simply additional information. Here's an example: "Diamonds, which are expensive, often elicit forgiveness." "There was an earthquake in Japan, which is bad news." Here, leaving out the words "which are expensive" or "which is bad news" doesn't change the basic meaning of the sentence. (Also note that the phrases are surrounded by commas. Nonrestrictive clauses are usually surrounded by, or preceded by, commas.)0 votedMarch 22, 20111
