As far as I know, when someone says "look round" they are just dropping the "a" and turning it into a kind of slang. When writing however, "look around" is the proper way to write it. Especially when talking about "looking around Kate's house." As in looking around a certain area. Hope this helps!

so strange,all the things Everything seems so strange.

It's never easy to settle into life in a foreign country. People look strange, food tastes strange and home seems a million miles away.

Besides the title, that's very good. Makes total sense to me. You can also use "adjust to" instead of "settle into." Other than that, great job. 

There are many ways you can make this sentence make more sense. I'll give a few of them. These are if you are expressing something about yourself: "I don't have to carry such thick books anymore and I don't have to spend too much time looking up words in the dictionary." "I'm so glade I don't have to carry those heavy books anymore so now I don't have to spend so much time looking up words in a dictionary." "I no longer have to carry such heavy books, therefore I do not have to spend so much time looking words up in the dictionary." That last two sentences express "cause and effect." Something does or does not happen THEREFORE it effects this other thing. You can also use "so" instead of "therefore" when talking. I hope this helps!

It's understandable that this sentence is confusing. I had to read it a couple time myself to get it. I'll type the sentence differently to where it hopefully makes more sense: "For example, should only the top performing people get world wide experience for higher paying jobs or should more people have to opportunity?" It's simply an argument about opportunities between people of different skill levels. This is the kind of sentence that would make more sense within a certain context. I'm not sure what that is in this case, because I have no idea where you got it, but yeah, that is my best explanation. Someone could possibly have a different idea.

The mystery of "jiaozi"

It appeared in chat.it is "jiaozi" The word "jiaozi" came up in conversation.
I heard I asked "What kind of food is it? meet? rice??" I asked
She taught only told me to only one word that "it's a type of Chinese food!!" 

(Another way to say this sentence is: "She only said that it is a type of Chinese food!")

I look up Web after a "jiaozi" After that, I looked up what "jiaozi" is on the web.

reflection in the monitor The "jiaozi"       <---

First notebook entry: Introducing myself

I'm 22. I like psychology, literature, philosophy, nature and photography.
And I nervous, when I try to speek in English I'm nervous when I try to speak English. =)

Very good. Not much to explain here without getting into advanced English. Just make sure to never use "and" at the begining of a sentence. If you want, you can use "as well" at the end of the sentence to say the same thing. However, that last sentence does not need that.

 

International Workers:

Currently, most of my colleagues are Japanese, and but some people of them are Korean. For the past several days, a Chinese woman started to work working at an adjacent division. She does not seems not to speak Japanese very well, so her colleagues usually ask to her her to something speak in English. Today, she and the her coworker had spoken spoke to her coworker in English as usual. However, she and he they wasn't were not able to understand what each other said, so he asked another coworker to help to translate into Chinese. She eventually got colleague's idea in Chinese. This helped her to understand her colleague's idea.

In During my childhood I didn't don't believe I would have looked at the this situation as such in such a way. In a way, I am in an awesome circumstance situation in a way, and I find it very interesting.

(OK, I corrected them, but those last 2 sentences don't make much sense when put together like that, so I'm not sure what it is you are trying to say here. So below, I'm going to write what I think your meaning is.)

During my childhood, I never thought I would be in a situation like this. I believe I am in a very unique and interesting situation. 

Hope this helps!
