You had to stretch your mind to think many times during our lesson and you did! I feel that we had some good conversation going on to help you speak better English. :}

    Bridges on I learned much information about rivers and all sorts of bridges near the Oregon and Washington State from my English class tonight.The colorful styles of bridges over Willamette river are pretty attractive. There is a particular one called Steel Bridge whose middle part can rise up in order to make big boats pass through under its body.Steel Bridge was opened in 1912, so today is the 100th birthday of it. Other totally different kinds of bridges have served on this river and we can find them from books. They are absolutely fascinating buildings,but I feel really disappointed after realizing them.Because in my own country we even have no safe modern bridges.That might be a bit of an exaggeration,but so many accidents involving bridge safety happen almost every year from 1990s,moreover, lots of common people lost their lives at the same time.Construction quality stemed from corruption is a severe problem even in every field of this country,so we could be walking toward worse.

    My Conversational Class My first conversational class was taken just a few minutes ago tonight that lasted about an hour. We talked about basketball games, lovely pictures and some phrases. I find that the most important thing for me is to do more listening exercises involving English idioms, because I could never know what people are talking about even though I can figure out every word from them. I felt kind of nervous and depressed because I wasted much time on thinking of what I wanted to describe. However, I really believe I can get better and master English language.

    My first class on italki I took an English class tonight with a professional teacher who comes from the United States. I understood what she said if she spoke slowly, but it would be difficult to catch all meanings for me as long as she talked quickly or used some idioms. In fact, usage of English idioms is a big mission for non-English speakers in my opinion. Some teachers told me that the more phrases you have mastered, the better your English could be. I agree with them. In this class, I learned some which I never used such as drop off, on the wrong foot and pain in the neck. It is useful for me and the class is great I think.

    How do I improve my listening English efficiently? I spent much time in English tapes, dictation or something like that, but it seems not take effect. I 'm very depressed. Maybe my practice is not enough and I know it is difficult to be better quickly, but I really want to find an efficient way.

    个人觉得从语法层面去解释是很难受的，虽然一定能解释地通，但我们使用中文的时候基本不会去想这么细节的差异，基本上用习惯了也就接受了，成立组织、成立公司、建立友谊、建立信心，等等，多找些例子、多组词造句或许比分析细微的差别来得实用些吧，就跟英语start/begin，around/round等等类似，虽然肯定有差异，但你们说英语时估计也不会仔细去想为什么吧，呵呵， 祝 学习顺利~~

    I must write something! (*0*)/

    七天以后我有汉语考试。 我学会了四个文词（“文字”,“字”or“词”），还要学（会？）五个。这个不很难做(“不是很难”)，可是我不太明白一些汉语文法（you could also say “语法”）。我决不会很好的汉学家（I don't understand your meaning clearly here, I supposed you could mean Sinologist. you could say “我还不是一个中国通”. “汉学家” is not suitable here） /(т_т)\

    明天不好的天(明天天气不好 or 明天不是个好天气)

    啊啊啊啊···期末考试就要到了。明天我有一次经济政策的考试。一定会考得糟糕！这门课的内容很多。我没办法一切（"一切"works here, but sounds odd, you could say "全部" or "把一切都" instead）学好啊！
    我可以擦地板而不是学习！也可以干很多别的东西(事情)，而不是学习！
    你们怎么准备啊？ 有什么建议-让我知道! ;)

    -------------------

    in fact, you'd be totally understood saying this
