    南澳岛Nan'ao Island Last week, my parents and I travelled to Nan'ao island.In spite of recent typhoons here in southern China,the place became quite busy with tourists. Nan'ao is under 汕头city.It's both the bigest island, about 160 km2, and the highest in the city.The island shapes like a calabash,with two main mountain peaks. Our trip was mainly made up of seafood,swimming and climbing.8 in the morning we were in water,at noon on the mountain,afternoon in sea again,dinner on boat. In Nan'ao and many other place in China, people prefer to have their seafood totally fresh before cooked.Fishermen catch sea creatures before dawn and keep them in net around their boats.When costomers come, they(we) are showed around and order dishes.

    我的周末

    这个周末的时候，我很忙了！

    每个星期六上午，我都练习普拉提。我真的很喜欢普拉提，已经练习两个年了。我是普拉提班里最年轻的学生，别的人都和我妈妈差不多大有一样的年龄，哈哈。

    昨天晚上，我在学校睡觉。二十个学生左右都在那里。（在那里的学生有二十个左右。）我们为慈善机构筹款。今年我的学校希望能筹款两万新西兰元。

    昨天和今天，我见了好朋友，她住在别的城市，所以我们一年只能见两次面。我也见到了她的朋友和两个法国留学生。她们都很友好，可是一位法国女孩不喜欢说英语。我们两个人不怎么说话了。

    今天下午，我的朋友们来我家，有五个女孩但只有一个男孩。我们一起聊天，玩得（很）高兴。^___^

    虽然我这个周末很忙，我也很高兴。周末真的很好玩儿。

    TEST : writing about the youth unemployment I used to think IELTS very challenging.Now I have completed the test and I actually feel all excited to get a reasonable score except the writing... The task was " what does youth unemployment cause in terms of the individual and the society" and " what measures can be taken to solve the problem". I wrote about education but I don't think my point of view was persuasive enough... What's your opinion?

    我的朋友。

    我的朋友喜欢微笑爱笑，我有时候开玩笑叫他白痴但只是作为一个笑话。他喜欢教我(add something he teach you)，我每天都会学到一些新的东西。他喜欢唱歌和玩电子琴。他使让我听很多音乐，但我喜欢听新音乐。他喜欢做鬼脸 而且每次都让我笑，因为我也喜欢做鬼脸。他的个性很好，我很高兴快乐我们是（能成为）朋友。我想和他有更多的回忆，他是我珍贵的朋友。 

    you have made a great proress!

    mandarin,cantonese and other dialect

    Mandarin,also called Putonghua, is the official language of China.The nothern east part of China,Beijing,Tianjin and place nearby,speak Mandarin only,but only Beijing accent is regarded as the nomal accent.

    As for other part of China,there are people understand little Mandarin,people speak Mandarin with such a strong accent that I may never get it(Deng Xiaoping had a strong Sichuan accent.Have you ever heard his record?),and people speak both Mandarin and local acent or dialect.

    Cantonese is one of the successful dialects in China.It' spoken in Hongkong,Guangzhou,western Guangdong Province with strong accents,and most importantly,in some Chinatowns all over the globe.It may be more convenient for a Cantonese speaker to work or live with HK people because many of them speak English and Cantonese fluently.

    In other parts of China,numerous dialects are used. In fact,they may come from other language families,such as TIbetan and other languages spoken by other ethic minorities,Chaoshan dialect(came from Mingnan language family,the same as Taiwanese),Wu dialect one of which is very famous:Shanghai dialect.

    In all,you may understand Mandarin all right,but it's possible that you couldn't manage to comunicate with local people.Me too.
