    I would say that many people in my country do not like someone to stand very close to them, especially children. I also think maybe if you look too long at their face (stare), they will feel uncomfortable. I have stayed in China more than 3 years and I have found my Chinese hosts always to be very welcoming.

    I think the answer above is partially correct. Americans often use humor to reduce tension in difficult situations. Once the people involved in the situation are less emotional, rational thought can be used. In China, I think people are expected to express less emotion, so humor is not often required to resolve these situations.

    富有与贫穷 富有的或贫穷的 -- 哪个比较满意?这真难说。贫穷的人会说 我所有的一切不够用。他说的是。但是富有的人也会说我所有的一切不够用。什么是够用?才是那一位心灵满足的人知道的。

Nowadays, English is a popular language and many good jobs require high English proficiency. A long time ago, I always avoided studying English because my English was poor.

    I think that, perhaps, there is a depth of meaning in your question that goes beyond language. I think that making friends can be easy if you are outgoing, compassionate, and others-centered. I think that developing friendships requires time, mutual respect, and a willingness to sacrifice one's own desires for the sake of the friend. I also think that we often confuse acquaintances with friends. In my work, I meet a lot of people whose company I enjoy, but in whose lives I have little time to invest. I would say that those people are acquaintances and the people whose lives I invest myself are my friends.

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself

    iam 20 years old . i would like to learn english
    and speak it well . and make friends from all over the worled

     

    Dear Soha, this entry is very clear. The comments I have involve capitalization and punctuation.

    "Hello everybody. My name is Soha. I am 20 years old. I would like to learn English, speak it well, and make from all over the world."

    Do you see what I mean?  Good luck with your language study.

    I am a big person (1.80 m, 170 kg) and get a lot of attention. If I were famous, I'd get even more attention.  I think too much attention is unpleasant.
