Jeff, 

Is the poem about somebody who loves you--- but you don't love that person in return - instead you're looking for something better, but you haven't found anyone better so you're sad.

First notebook entry: Introducing myself

Hello, everybody. My name is Paula, my Chinese name is Rao Jianxue, I'm from beautiful China.  I am a currenty a high school student.  I'm learning English, because I plan to study abroad in Canada.

Today the weather is not good

I live in Shanghai, China.  My home is close to the sea.  When the weather is clear and sunny I can see very far, but today the weather is bad so I can't see very far at all.

It sounds more natural to say "My home overlooks the ocean."  

My Little Prince

When I was in middle school, God gave me a lovely prince. He is my nephew. We call him Baobao. He is 8 years old. His eyes are big and bright, and they make him resemble a fawn.  His skin is the color of egg white (this isn't something I'd say though) and hey says very interesting things.

When Baobao was 4 years old, he said he would marry me.  I felt very happy until my sister told me that Baobao also had said that he would marry her.

But now Baobao does not want to marry me at all, he likes a girl in his class. One day over summer break (or summer vacation) I played with him.  He wanted the toy car that I was holding, but I told him I wouldn’t give it to him unless he marreid me. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Ok, I will marry you, little aunt." (little aunt sounds funny to me)


I wish my little prince Baobao can grow up healthy and be happy. 

First notebook entry: Introducing myself

I'm Kevin from China. I graduated from Zhejaing Scien-Tech University last year. I was lost and confused, just begining to face real society after leaving college. But I think that by learning more, people can can feel a greater sense of self-worth. I encourage myself to face the difficulties in my life and overcome them.

Your English is almost perfect.  =)
