About Me

Hello,

I'm happy to come here to learn English. I hope that I can improve my English. Also, if you want some help with learning Mandarin Chinese, I will try my best to help you. Also, I am glad to make some friends and have some communication. I'm looking forward to it.

We don't use bar in that way. It's an idiom only used with "none" and it means "without exception." Here are some examples from the link below: She is the brightest student I've ever known, bar none. [=I have never known a student who is brighter than she is] We have the best stadium, bar none, in college football. This is, bar none, the best ice cream I've ever had. My brother-in-law is the single most boring man on the planet, bar none. .................................. http://www.learnersdictionary.com/blog.php?action=ViewBlogArticle&ba_id=92

Talk

Do you like talk with your family or your friends? Actually, I don't like to talk even to my family. It seems there is no such habit in my family since my parents seldom talked about their life with me when I was young. Now I have the same problem. Sometimes I don't know how to communicate with my daughter. I don't know which topic can drag her from computer games. I am quite worried about her eyes, as well as her ability to communicate.

I guess I need a real English situation.

Memorizing new words is the only thing I did to improve my English today, I don't think I can achieve my goal of English learning this semester in that way. I have classes every day in my department, which makes me a little busy, but I really want to make a lot of progress in English this year. I don't know what to do. I guess I need to be in a real English situation as often as possible, but that seems impossible. Can you give me some advice? Also, for those who want to learn Chinese, I can help you.

Self-introduction

My nickname is Diane Fox. I work in a translation company now. However, I am not a translator. I do management. A friend introduced this website to me. Thinking of my good Chinese ability, I'd like to teach some foreigners Chinese, and it will be wonderful to improve my English conversation ability through our communication.

Life or Legend

When we were young, most of our parents told us to accomplish something and honour the family. We worship the elites from all walks of life with the hope that one day we could be as successful as them. However, dreams rarely come true. Frustration haunts us day after day.
'Hang in there. You are gonna pull through.' We get those inspiring words all the time but sometimes we just intend to stop the exhausting expedition, letting ambition fade away. We choose to stay till the end of our days. It's the life that it's supposed to be, which differs from the legends created by the elites.
People always make the choice from the two. Is the life option wrong or inferior? Everyone probably has an answer.

Today it is very cold, and there's a strong wind outside. i think maybe summer is gone. This is really not good news for me because autumn is always short, then winter comes too soon. In all honesty, I don't like Winter.
