Hi, I'd like to join the C2 group, please. My Skype is kexia1988 and I've sent you an add request there.

I would say the fact that so much vocabulary in 书面语 is borrowed from Classical Chinese and the fact that there are so many different ways of saying/writing exactly the same thing.

Of course, many European languages have these same types of problems so it is not unique to Chinese, but with European languages there are a lot of Greek/Latin/Old French borrowings for higher level vocabulary that learning these words is easier because the words might be the same or very similar to those of another European language you know (including your native language).

So this will probably be less of a problem for Japanese/Korean/Vietnamese speakers whose native languages contain vast amounts of vocabulary borrowed from Chinese.

But for me this has been the hardest part.

A Little Disappointed...

Hello there! This is my first time writing in this notebook, and I want to start by saying that I am truly interested and motivated in learning English, this tremendously fascinating language is full of interesting books and thinkers, not mentioning all movies and fiction like "The Walking Dead" or the outstanding fantasy TV series "Game Of Thrones" (which I am eagerly anxious to watch in April). But being honest, so far I never had the possibility to find a motivated study-partner with whom whit I could practice over and over, having fun! So I have to say that I am a little disappointed! :( Anyway here I am ready to see what happens on this site, and I now openly ask: is there anyone who wants to learn Italian and who can help me learning English?

What can we do to help people around the world have clean water to drink?

Water is the something we can't avoid, because it's extremely important for us, the second most important thing after oxygen. Having said that water nowadays is not everywhere very clean everywhere, because of careless people. It seems to be complicated to solve this problem, mind you, I'm inclined to believe that, there are some possible ways to make our water cleaner.

First of all, we obviously should stop polluting lakes and rivers. People really do not avoid throwing rubbish into rivers, or other water areas. bodies of water. This pollution gradually affects rivers, lakes, and if pollution is not stopped and there is the water there is not cleaned, that those consequences will reach us as well. Water The water we drink becomes polluted, with a lot of unhealthy to people impurities.

Second, we should start protesting against huge, well known factories, which are using water for cooling systems. The used water becomes slightly becomes polluted, even though most of the factories have cleaning systems, and it's sent back to the rivers. Of course, it's impossible to shut down all these factories, but protests and other actions may force at least some factories to be shut down, or at least to buy new cleaning systems.

Finally, ships is are another reason of for polluted water. There are a variety of accidents, when millions of tone tons of chemicals appear in the water. Engineers always try to make sure that each ship will reach the its destination safely, having said that it doesn't happen all the time. it's It's obvious that they should take pay more attention to this, because such an accident gives has serious consequences.

Taking everything into account, It's obvious that we could fight for the clean water. We must force polluters to understand, what may be the consequences of that, they are doing may be. It's easy, we just need to try.


I feel that it's one of the weakest essays I''ve I've written. However, maybe i'm I'm wrong.
