我的致辞 - My short introduction

大家好，我是亚当。 我住在东伦敦在差不多五年了，但是我来自英国的西北地区近曼彻斯特。在大学做教务工作。我是历史研究生，我的爱好是阅读，跑步，音乐和看电影. 我学习汉语差不多一年半了，汉语真是复杂，可是有志者事竟成。

Any corrections/advice would be gratefully received.

（Hello everyone, my name is Adam. I have lived in London for nearly five years, but originally I am from the Northwest of England, near Manchester. I work as an educational administrator in a University. I'm history graduate, and my hobbies include reading, running, music and watching films. I have studied Chinese for nearly 18 months, and find it difficult – but I know where there is a will, there is a way ;-)
