First notebook entry: Introducing myself
大家你好! I am a new member learning mandarin chinese.
I am having trouble with describing my search for a new job in chinese...
......................
Because of changes in technology I have used a computer to help me search online for jobs. Not only do i want a job in my area, but also I don't want to be paid too little.
Because I really like cooking, I got a job in a restaurant kitchen. My house from the restaurant is 5 minutes. This is very convenient because I often walk to work!
..............
Does it make sense...?
我很难描述我在中国找一份新工作的经历
因为技术上的巨大变化技术有变化很大, 所以我用电脑上网帮忙找工作。
我不但想要找一个在我居所附近的工作不但我要了工作里边我的郊区,而且我不希望薪水太低(如果直译可能是我不希望被支付得太少)我要了收入不太低。
因为我真的(really也可以是十分、非常的意思)喜欢做饭,所以我在一家餐厅获得了一份工作(因为中文习惯把地点放在前面说,比如我在学校上课)得到了工作在一家餐厅的厨房。(It' s five minutes' walk from my house to the restaurant会不会更好?)我的家到餐厅是五分钟。
这是真方便因为我常常步行去了到工作!
谢谢 :)Welcome, I' m an English learner and hope to make friends with you~
0 votedOctober 30, 20110- The Difference between Since and Until When I chat with a new friend in English, I made a laughable mistake which I can't stop laughing. I wanted to tell him I didn' t learn English and read English book after graduating from secondary school. Then I typed that it's three years since I communicated with others in English. Then I felt something wrong. I found a dictionary and hoped to find out how to express it. Finally I realized that the sentence ought to be I didn' t chat with others in English until I talk with you. Is the meaning right?October 28, 201100

0 votedOctober 27, 20110- How to Improve My Conversational Skills? It's ok to make me write something in English while it seems quite hard for me to talk with someone in it. Maybe there are three obstacles in front of me. They are my Chinese thinking style, lack of practice and my fear of doing so. For example, while I want to say a word, I will convert Chinese to English, and maybe in this process I will even make some mistakes as called Chianglish. I often react slowly and incorrectly due to lack of practising speaking English. I think it must be the most serious problem which should be solved at once. Then I come here to find someone talking with me. Anyone want to talk with me? Practice makes perfect. And I think I should spend more leisure time talking with others in English.October 27, 201100
I hate Time Differences
In order to overcome the fear of talking with somebody in English, I found this website two days ago. To my great surprise, I got several language partners and prepared to communicate with them. However, most of them are living in America and Canada. The time here is about twelve hours past the one there. I'm just talking with my dear friend named Doug at half past twelve after having my lessons, but he implied that he was tired though he didn't want to sleep. It occured to me that it was already half past eleven in the evening there and maybe he should go to bed and have a rest.
Although I don't think time difference will be a barrier between the people who want to learn languages together, it's still a tough matter which may reduce the efficiency.
Tomorrow is my dear friend, Doug's birthday. I wish him a happy birthday in advance. Give you a big cake, Doug, haha~. Wait,maybe it' the day after tomorrow? I'm terribly confused. What hateful time difference are!0 votedOctober 26, 20110
