    Not only can it imply skill, it can also refer to someone becoming more enthusiastic or involved in something, e.g., "He is really getting into that game" or "He's really getting into basketball/golf/hockey" etc.

    cold and evil feeling

    So...  feel terrible. It hurts my throat and head. I also hate the catarrh. Does anyone of you is sick too and i feel as badly as I do?

    1. "So... I feel terrible"
    2. What hurts your throat and head? To be clearer, when you use a pronoun, make sure you include an antecedent.
    3. What's catarrh?
    4. "Are any of you sick too? Do any of you feel as bad as I do?"

    IMPORTANT: bad/badly; when you say "I feel bad," you are feeling a bad sensation or emotion (e.g. coughing, sick, in pain, unhappy, depressed, etc). When you say "I feel badly," you are doing a bad job at feeling, i.e. you are not very skilled at feeling.

    <em>First notebook entry: Introducing myself</em>

    <em>hi </em>
    <em>I am from China. I want to make english speaking frends to improve my spoken english.I can help you to learn about China. we can help each other. And i am open-minded, we have many things to share ,like movie,music,health,faith,and so on .</em>

    Time for a crash course in grammar!

    Spelling correction: friend, not frend.
    Also, when you use commas it looks like this:

    <em>"However, I can't."
    </em>Not like "<em>However ,I can't"</em> or "<em>However,I can't.</em>"

    English sentence construction is a lot more structured than Chinese – when you say "And I am open-minded, we have..." you need to use a conjunction. A conjunction is a word like <em>as, yet, but, and, so, for</em>, etc. and is used between clauses. 

    A clause is a chunk of words with a subject and a verb. A subject is the thing that does something – for example, in "The dog ate food," "dog" is the subject, and "ate" is the verb. So in "And I am open-minded," "I" is the subject and "am" is the verb. That is actually not a clause, however, because of the "And" at the beginning. When you have a clause that starts with words like and, because, since, unless, although, etc. it is not a clause, it is a phrase. It cannot stand on its own as a sentence.

    So when you say, "And I am open-minded" and you also want to say "we have many things to share," you would write "And I am open-minded, and we have many things to share." However, it would be better to change that whole sentence to:

    "Since I am open-minded, we can talk about many things like movies, music, health, faith, and so on."

    I hope that wasn't too long or complicated. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me; 我会说一点点中文。
