First notebook entry: Introducing myself

I'm Ella, and I am from China. Nice to meet you. I want to learn English and improve it, so I hope I can be your friend. I would be glad to teach you Chinese.

Hi Elle! Nice to meet you too! I'm sure you will learn a lot of English. :)

It's a boring day.

Monday is always boring. I can do nothing but study. But I don't want to study now, although I might fail in my test. I don't feel like doing my homework at all. And I even don't want to play. I don't know what I should do. I want to talk with someone, but there is nobody.
Why is Monday always a boring day?!

You should sing :)

My homework.

Does Having a High Degree is Equal to Having High Ability?

Nowadays, it is widely believed that a person who has a high degree will have a big advantage while hunting for a job. In the job market, masters and doctorates are everywhere. However, is a high degree equal to high ability?
Some people think it's true. They would say that if you don't havehigh ability, you can't get a master degree. And it's impossible to get a PhD if you only have a master's ability.
Does everyone have the same opinion? Of course not. There are many people, including me, who disagree with the view that having a high degree means having high ability. High degree means more knowledge, but knowledge is not equal to ability. There are many people who have high ability without having a high degree, such as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and so on. And there are many people who have a high degree but low ability, too. I think a man will improve his ability only when he is faced to a challenge and then do well on it. Ability has nothing to do with degree. It only depends on who you are.

Hi Cookie :) Nice homework (^^)b Sorry for being late.

Thanksgiving Day

Today is Thanksgiving Day. I had an English class in the morning. I don't like my English classes because I don't like my English teacher. I know it's bad for my English learning, but I am trying to change my mind.

In my English class, my teacher said that American turkey is very cheap today. Is it true? I want to eat turkey but in China we don't have the custom. And I have a stomachache today, so I can't eat turkey. I will only have porridge for my lunch.

Anyway, happy Thanksgiving Day to everybody!

Note: I changed "to take English classes" to "my English class" because the first one means that you may not like ANY English class, and that your teacher is at fault for not liking English classes at all, not only the one you take.

Hi Cookie :) Well, I don't know much about prices... but I guess it depends on what kind of turkey you buy. There are some expensive ones because they are very well prepared, and there are some inexpensive ones that are not well prepared. I hope you get well soon :) See you later!

My Skype ID

In China, people prefer to use QQ instead of MSN, and use renren.com instead of Facebook, so I have no MSN nor facebook. But in order to make more friends, I registered a Skype ID just now. I also want to register an MSN account, but I won't have enough time to use it because I have to prepare for my physics test. Next time, I will create an MSN account. For now, my skype ID is ruocookies.

Hi sevencookies ^^ Your English is very good! Just remember to write a space after any punctuation mark (periods, commas, colons, etc).

Good luck on your physics test! :D Also, I'm sure you'll make a lot of friends ^^

Hi, nice to meet you. I want to make friends and learn English. Would you please add me to your friend list?

Requests are always better written with a question to make them politer.

Welcome! I hope you find many new friends here ^^

First notebook entry: Introducing myself

Hello, everyone. I am a Chinese girl living in Shijiazhuang. I am a university student. Recently, I have been studying English because I want to pass the IELTS examination. But my English is not good, so I want to make friends with the person who speak English. If you want to learn Chinese, I would be happy/glad to teach you.

Wow, your English is very good! I don't know why you say that's not good haha. Just some notes: remember to insert a space after a punctuation mark; 'well' is and adverb, 'good' is the adjective.

I want to improve my English and my Spanish.... I hope I can do/accomplish it.

"make it" is generally used in time situations. Like in the movies when the main guy needs to reach a helicopter in 10 seconds before everything explodes and someone says "He's not gonna make it!!" ^^
