My First Note

Hi everyone. It This is the second time I have logged in italki. Yesterday, I found this website and I registered on it. (Or...I opened an account on it.) an account. I received an email from an Indian who was looking for language partners. about looking for languages partners from a Indian. Then, I replied to him that I was glad to help him with his Mandarin.After adding his him on Wechat and Skype, we had a voice call. I was so awkward when I talked to him, because he could speak Chinese very fluently and I didn't think he needed any help. Later, there was nothing to talk about except for the beautiful girls in India. It really was a weird topic between two people from different countries, because I was not good at acclaiming/praising others but I did. He didn't exactly agree that there were a lot more beauties in India than in China. Maybe, he was just being nice. Or maybe, we had different standards of beauty. I preferred the girls with a pair of big eyes and adorable nose rings like Indians. Lastly, it was difficult for me to carry on the conversation in English with him, so he gave me homework to think about how I can introduce my country in English.

It's time for beginning

Hello. My name is Helen. And I am graphic and web designer from Russia. I have decided to start writing about me and my life in English. I learned this wonderful language from when I was 12 years old. (As you are still learning this language, it is better to say 'I have been learning this wonderful language since I was 12 years old.' or "I was first introduced to this language first when I was 12 years old.") In my class, I was one of the best pupils until graduating if from university. However, though I am 23 right now, in my 23 most part of this knowledge has already been washed out with the passage of time. kniledges forgot. It's sad, but maybe, I can fix it with your help.

Stepping up to my next level of English

This might be really a typical question for a non-native English speaker he who wants to step up to a higher level of both, speaking and writting English. And I'm actually one such speaker. such a one. I'm actually a freelancer working online. But I'm not a native speaker at all. I believe that the best way for learning English is using it in the real world, communicating with a real native English speaker.

Actually, my freelancing experiences did help helped me a lot to improve my English. And, I have found that while discussing with my clients about the work, they normally don't/won't point out my mistakes of English. I think, mostly, I can clearly express what I want to say. But I have no sense/idea if what I wrote or said is good from the perspective of a native speaker.

This is the major reason I'm here on italki, looking for more native English speakers as friends.

A Language which sounds good

Talking English is is a sort of language which is directly proportional to sense of self esteem in modern era. I am really very eager to get any buddy online to talk with them, him......... with my tooti footi broken English language. I hope he/she would not be disappointed with my English level. I will try my level best to take my skill out. improve my English skills with their help.

Two Radio Programs - NPR and BBC

Most of us know that one of the good ways of learning English is listening to English radio programs. So, the purpose of this essay is to compare and contrast the differences between the two radio programs, NPR and BBC. There are a number of important major differences between NPR and BBC. Yet, Then, the four main differences are in content, topic of news and features.

The most notable difference between these two radio programs is in their content. NPR tends to cover mostly the news related to America whereas BBC tends to cover while 's take on the contents leans in favor of local of America news. BBC's take on the contents instead leans in favor of mostly the international news. It is logical that Also, BBC has a greater range of contents and because you can get a lot of different knowledge or stories from it.

Comparing both companies, we notice another difference. BBC has many kinds of different topics for the people to choose from for learning English. which topics they want to learn. For example, six minutes to learn English, adult learning and BBC music news. On the contrary, though NPR also has many kinds of different topics, but these topics they aren’t suitable than BBC’s topic for the people to learn English. BBC is suitable whatever for all age groups to learn but NPR is only more mainly suitable for the adults to read.

On the other hand, there is a another similarly between these two types of radio programs which can be seen in is about their scripts. Both radio programs have many articles, essays and themes. In addition, both websites are not only scripts can be downloaded from these websites, but audios also can be downloaded from them. (Not only scripts but audios also can be downloaded from both these websites ....or...Both these websites allow downloading of scripts as well as audios). They are very helpful for English learners. to learner to learn. Simultaneously, Most importantly, we can register at the BBC and or NPR on using our mobile phones because and we can learn the latest articles or news at any time on our phones. It is not only can This not only promotes our learning but also is a very convenient way to learn.

So, overall, this is the comparison between NPR and BBC. As we can see, it comes down to a personal choice while choosing any one of the them. and also based on everyone interested in radio. So,Yet, according to me, it is important that you consider all the above points about that when you're trying to choose the best type of radio for yourself. To me, Listening to the BBC is a better option more than NPR out of the two because it’s a good way for people to learn English. (or...To me, listening to BBC is better than listening to NPR because it provides additional help to the people who want to learn English.)

I hope that you can give me some advice. Thanks!

What's the quality of work in Taiwan?

I am a mechanical engineer, but I always question myself think why I ever chose this job. To be honest, I don't like my job even though it can bring me much money. In Taiwan, social fresh people is always get bullied bulled by seniors at the job, because they don't have any experience in regarding their job. Sometimes, so they also need/have to withstand many scoffing in order to finish their job. I am curious that whether Taiwanese salary is lower than than in other developed countries. Maybe, I think, our country needs to change their its way of education.
