Hey Guys, I joined Italki a few months back because my family and I traveled to China and I had to learn some basic Mandarin. I went to Shaanxi Province in April and returned to the United States in late May. I had a wonderful experience and I look forward to visiting China more in the future. I'll be on here occasionally to pick up some more Mandarin. I'm also interested in learning more Korean. I have a pretty hectic schedule, so if I cannot contact or speak with you as often as you would like me to, I do apologize. I will try my best!

    Nearly Caught

    One day, Alf and three other dustmen were collecting rubbish along the street. Mrs. Frost, a good friend of Alf's wife, lived just down the street. Alf and his fellow dustmen soon began collecting rubbish in front of Mrs. Frost's house. Unbeknownst to Alf, his wife was visiting Mrs. Frost at that very moment. Alf was just getting out of the dustcart when he suddenly saw his wife leaving Mrs. Frost’s house. Surprised by his wife's sudden appearence, Alf immediately hid himself behind the dustcart. He didn’t know why his wife was at Mrs. Frost's house. There was not much time to think. Deciding to hide behind the dustcart was a poor decision because part of his body could still be seen, so his colleagues attempted to block his wife's view of the dustcart. At that moment, Alf's wife turned to talk to Mrs. Frost on the doorstep. She didn’t know her husband was nearby at all. The dustcart drove away just as Mrs. Blogs came towards it.

    Sounds good! I would say "If you really want to thank me, you can buy me a cell phone. Just don't go overboard on the price!"

    I'm Learning 中文！ Hi guys ~ Ahem. First let me just say that my last notebook entry was a link to a joke -- it wasn't meant to be offensive but clearly some people didn't like it. It was just a silly web cartoon about words people tend to misspell and misuse. Althought it is meant to be silly, it is very helpful at the same time. Anyways. My friend Guanying was teaching me some awesome things to say to my in-laws and I thought I'd share the list: Mom, Dad – Have a rest...Let me work! Māmā, bà ba, nǐmen xiūxí huì, ràng wǒ lái. 妈妈，爸爸，你们休息会，让我来. Mom, Dad, I can take good care of your son Māmā, bà ba, qǐng nǐmen fàngxīn, wǒ huì zhàogù hǎo tā de 妈妈，爸爸，请你们放心，我会照顾好他的 Don't worry about us. Bùyòng wèi wǒmen dānxīn 不用为我们担心 How is your health? Nǐmen de shēntǐ zěnme yàng 你们的身体怎么样 You should pay more attention to your body. Nǐmen yào duō zhùyì shēntǐ 你们要多注意身体 I brought you some presents! Wǒ gěi nǐmen dài le yīxiē lǐwù 我给你们带了一些礼物 Do you like it? Nǐ xǐhuan ma 你喜欢吗 Are there any other helpful phrases I should learn to say to my in-laws? All your suggestions would be extremely helpful! 谢谢你！

    My husband is from China and he hates most Western styles of food. We try to stick to organic foods as much as possible.

    Diary

    Today i was very sad,because the children`s test was bad,i am a primary teacher,so i felt very defeat.i don`t know how to teach them?i hope they will gain good score.

    I am sad today because my students' test scores are bad. As their teacher, I feel very defeated. Do I not know how to teach them? I hope they can achieve higher scores soon.

    Cheer up Apple! Primary school is a rough age to teach to! Try to get your students excited about what they are learning, then maybe they will pursue their studies more passionately. :)

    My Trip to See Cherry Blossoms!

    A few days ago I traveled to some very beautiful places.
    I feel pretty good (about?). ex: I feel pretty good about my experience!
    First, we witnessed the beauty of cherry blossoms at Tianyuan Palace ,Tamshui Taipei County, Taiwan.
    After that, we walked on Danshuei Old Street and went shopping. Then, we took a ferry(boat) from Tamshui to Bali and walked along the river. Walking along river is very soothing! While walking along the river, I chated with my family and co-workers. On our way back to Chungli(Taoyuan), we sang on the bus. 
    It was a very great trip.
