- Self-introductionGood afternoon everyone!My name is Lavender, I'm 19 years old and I come from ChangSha, Hunan Province. My major is digital media art. I’m an outgoing, funny and friendly person. When I'm with my friends[ ]I always make them happy and comfortable. And I'm so helpful that I have a lot of friends.What's more, I have many hobbies. I like listening to music, whether it's pop music, rock, jazz or R&B. Recently my favorite band is the New Pants Band. I also love to read all kinds of books. The book I'm reading these days is the Journey of a Solitude by May Sarton. Besides this (In addition - better), I really love going to art exhibitions. My favorite art center is UCLA. I used to go to the UCCA to see art exhibitions. However, now I'm not in Beijing, so I have no chance to go to the UCCA. Fortunately,there are also some galleries in Changsha. To my joy, there has been an art exhibition by Araki lately (where?). In addition to all of this. I also enjoy watching American dramas, British series and movies. You are welcome, like minded friends, to communicate with me.This is my introduction. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. If you are interested<s> in me, </s>you are welcome to<s> play with me </s>(hang out with me, chat to me). Thanks for listening.(or reading)0 votedJune 11, 20201
- Een mooi reisherinnering Vorige zomer hadden mijn vriend en ik een geweldige vakantie gepland. We gingen naar Rusland, want mijn vriend is Russisch, dus wilde hij bij zijn gezin voor en paar dagen logeren. Na Rusland gingen we naar Georgië. Het zou de eerste keer in dat land voor ons zijn, maar voordat wilden we daar gaan, vanwege het lekker eten en de mooie landschapen. Georgië heeft een gezamenlijke grens met Rusland, en voor de vorige zomer was er heel veel vluchten tussen Rusland en Georgië. Daarom boekten we een vlucht van Kazan, in Rusland, naar Batoemi in Georgië. Dat was slecht gepland, want net op dat moment de relaties van de regeringen van de twee landen verstoord werden. Vanwege dit probleem, onze vlucht werd geannuleerd. We wisten niet wat konden we doen. Moesten we alle onze plans veranderen? Het werd duidelijk dat we Georgië van Kazan volgens onze plan origineel niet konden bereiken. En toen een idee had mijn vriend: hoewel konden we niet naar Georgië direct reizen, er waren veel vluchten naar Istanboel, en veel vluchten van Istanboel naar Batoemi. En die vluchten waren heel goedkoop. Ik was een keer in Istanboel geweest, maar mijn vriend niet, dus het was en geweldige kans. Na een gezellige week in Rusland, om 05:00 uur (nu kan ik niet meer de exact datum herinneringen) vlogen we naar Istanboel. Onze volgende vlucht was om 18:00 uur, dus we hadden een dag zoveel mogelijk te zien. Het kan vermoeiend zijn om een toerist te zijn, maar wanneer heb je misschien minder dan een uur geslapen, het is een ander verhaal. Alles is overweldigend: de bezienswaardigheden, de geluiden, de geuren. Als ben je moe, dan kan een korte keer in een stad als Istanboel je emotioneel maken. Het was een bijzondere dag en een mooi reisherinnering. Natuurlijk hebben we niet alles in Istanboel gedaan, alleen een klein beetje, maar de stad heeft op ons een indruk gemaakt. Ik ben zeker dat gaan we in de toekomst terugkeren.June 11, 202050

- Een route beschrijven Dit is een opdracht uit mijn leerboek. Ik heb een email op mijn collega te schrijven gehoeven. Ze wilde de route naar mijn huis . Dit is mijn reactie. Hoi Irina, Hier is de beste route naar mijn huis. Of kom je met de trein, je kan bij Rotterdam Centraal uitstappen. Dit is heel gemakkelijk, omdat het de laatste stop is. Dan hoeft je de metro te zoeken. Het is gemakkelijk te vinden, het ligt midden in het station, en er zijn heel veel bordjes voor je te volgen. De metro is regelmatig; het komt elke 10 minuut aan. De metrolijn E ga direct naar mijn dorp. Je stapt bij Berkel Westpolder uit. Dan je steek het pleintje over, en ga rechtnoot. Je kan de singel volgen. Aan het eind, sla rechtsaf en dan weer rechts. Op de hoek zal je mijn huis vinden.May 26, 202021

- Should students take a year off from high school to travel or work?Should students take a year off from high school to travel or work, or go directly to college? This issue has been controversial for many years. Proponents believe that interval years (gap year = better word) can expand students' horizons, help students accumulate social experience, and have a clearer understanding of the future. Opponents believe that students will be in danger during the interval, and the cost is too high, which will harm their careers. But I think it would be better to travel or work before starting school. "would be" is correct if you're referring to a specific hypothetical situation (for example, your own), if you mean it's better in general, you can just use the present simple.First, you will have more time to figure out what you want to do. Deciding to choose an interval year is a big decision, but choosing to go to university is a bigger decision, especially if you are in a country where tuition is expensive. One of the biggest benefits of having an interval year before going to college is that you have a few months to decide what you want to do next, instead of making hasty decisions.Secondly, it will make you more independent. No doubt going to college will force you to grow in certain areas, especially when you leave home, but the interval between years often prompts you to make your own decisions in a whole new way. Stay away from safe areas and you will find yourself having to make choices for yourself and getting used to independence.Then you will have a chance to make money. With the rise in tuition fees at many universities, it makes sense for so many students to take a year ’s leave to work and save money before going to college. In many ways, it is best to work while studying, as this will put a lot of pressure on your schedule. If you don’t like to work while studying, the interval year can provide you with a great opportunity to save money in advance. Besides, if the job you get has a certain relationship with the course you want to study, then you will add more value to your gap year.Finally, you will have a break. Postponing entry into college can also give you the rest you deserve while gaining some valuable life experience. Others may use this year ’s rest time to discover their hobbies, perhaps through an interval year plan. There are no rules that dictate when you must start college, so find out what makes sense to you and trust your decision.If you are not ready for college, the interval between years will be a good choice for you.Well done. I have to commend you on this writing. Is it for anything specific? (i.e. IELTS). It reads well and contains some advanced vocab and some effective structures. Good job :)0 votedMay 18, 20200
- El arte de criticar: Parte 2 Entonces, ¿es que las reseñas me han convertido en un zombie sin mi propio gusto o sentido de lo que me apetece? No. Simplemente, fuera de la universidad y sin mucho motivo de aplicarme críticamente a lo que leo o veo, las reseñas me dan un perspectivo. Este perspectivo existe para que podamos decidir si estamos de acuerdo con ello o no. Las reseñas son una oportunidad de reflejar, y pensar sobre lo que acabamos de ver o leer. Puede ser que un libro está en un listo de clásicos y no tienes ningún idea por qué. O quizás encuentras el revés, que un programa a menudo recibe malas reseñas y te gusta. Durante este tiempo me lo he pasado un buen tiempo con las reseñas de dos obras que han tenido una presencia constante durante las últimas semanas de mi vida: la serie Crazy Ex Girlfriend, y el libro Normal People. A sus salidas respectivas, estas dos recibieron mucha aclamación (de hecho, ahora que Normal People se ha adaptado por el BBC, recibe aclamación casi universal), algo que era interesante para mi. Bueno...me gustan las dos obras, pero la última serie de CXG me decepcionó, entonces me extrañó de ver tantos comentarios positivos sobre la serie y el episodio final. Y en cuanto a Normal People, era fascinante de ver la diferencia entre los comentarios de los críticos profesionales, y aquellos del público. Había (todavia lo hay, se puede decirlo) muchísima gente que odió el libro y los personajes a dentro. Este era el momento cuando me pregunté concretamente si mis gustos era dictados por los pijos críticos. Pero al final, he llegado a la conclusión que no es el caso. Bueno...sí, para obtener nuevas ideas, autores, directores et cetera, a menudo empiezo en las páginas de las reseñas. Pero estas reseñas no me deciden mis gustos finales. De hecho ya las considero como parte de mis gustos. Algunos críticos son escritores fantásticos por si mismos. Por ejemplo, me encanta leer la escritura de Roger Ebert, encuentro con frecuencia que no comparto sus conclusiones finales. Sin embargo, su ensayo sobre ET, escrito como una carta a sus nietos, todavía queda ser uno de mis artículos favoritos. Lo he utilizado mucho, en muchas clases. Todavía lo uso y seguiré utilizándolo.May 13, 202020
- El arte de criticar: un comentario (Parte 1) Durante los cinco años que han pasado desde que empecé esta carrera como profe de inglés, he hecho un esfuerzo de mezclar los libros de texto típicos con los materiales reales. Es decir, algunas cosas que leía (o que leo todavía) en mi tiempo libre. De vez en cuando, en el marco de una clase sobre la lectura, el cine o la televisión, los textos reales que escogía eran una selección de reseñas. Siempre preguntaba a mi alumnado si hubieran leído cualquier reseña o comentario y, casi siempre, la respuesta era un “no” universal. - Pero, ¿por qué no lees las reseñas antes de ver una película? ¿No es muy difícil decidir cual será lo mejor_ - No sé teacher. A mí no me importan las opiniones de un escritor. Yo tengo mis gustos y ya está. Al principio la respuesta me sorprendió porque, ¿no es que todo el mundo escoge lo que quiere ver o leer después de leer las reseñas? ¿No es que todo el mundo sea como yo? Porque es así, a mi me gustan mucho las reseñas. Es fácil ver porqué cuando se trata de las negativas – una evisceración de una obra terrible me da tanta diversión y es buen ejemplo de schadenfreude – pero en cuanto a las positivas, se puede decir que el placer es todavía más grande. Cuando es posible compartir la alegría real del crítico, por sus palabras en la página, que se resulta de haber leído o visto algo increíble, ya se sabe que se lee una buena reseña (en los dos sentidos de la palabra). Sin embargo, ¿no es que vaya seleccionando mi propia colección de literatura y de cinema no como un individuo con sentimientos y pensamientos, sino como un esclavo a las tendencias más recientes, por causa de una desesperación de parecer un iniciado, un experto? ¿No es que los críticos, los dichos “expertos” me decidan mis gustos en la literatura y el cinema? ¿Ni siquiera es que, de hecho, no haya cultivado mis propios gustos porque he dedicado tanta energía a las opiniones de críticos?? ¿Por qué no puedo ser como mis estudiantes, completamente seguros en sus gustos y con sus preferencias concretas?May 11, 202010
- TransportToday I would like to talk about transport. We use different transport every day especially if you live in the city. You can choose the kind of transport you want. In my opinion the most useful and convenient transport (form/means of transport) is the metro because it is fast and quite a cheap method to get to your destination. But some cities don't have a metro so I would say the/a tram is useful public transport in those cities because trams ride on a special road, on rails and rarely get stuck in traffic than cars (a few options here - they rarely get stuck <em>unlike </em>cars; they get stuck less frequently than cars). At the same time owning a car has a lot of advantages. You can go wherever you want. You don't depends on the schedule of public transport. Owning a car helps you transport goods or heavy bags. Also, a car is more comfortable then public transport. You can listen to loud music, eat or sleep in your own car.But using a car has disadvantages. For example if you have your own car you have to spend a lot of money on oil or fixing it.0 votedMay 4, 20200
