Aber ich meine, dass ich Lehrer in einer Hochschule bin! Im nächsten Monat werde ich anfangen wieder eine Menge von Studenten Musik zu lehren. Ich bin aufregend, aber ich bin auch ein bisschen bange, weil dieser Jahr ich zum ersten Mal Gitarre lehren muss! Ich bin kein Gitarrist, und bin ein bisschen erschrocken darüber zu unterrichten...Ich hoffe, dass alles gut klappt! Wünscht mir Glück!
lol self correcting

First notebook entry: Introducing myself
I want to improve my English. For one thing, I want to study abroad in America; for another, the colorful cultures and histories of foreign countries interest me greatly. I grew up in China, which is full of history and culture, such as Confucianism, the book of change (<--is this referring to the I Ching? We call it that in English, if it is...) etc. Chinese is my native laguage. if you want to study it I can help you and we can improve our language together. I like to travel in nature, play ball games and swim. Finally, I believe communication is valuable.

I like watching American movies. But sometimes i just cannot understand ('get' works but it sounds better spoken than written) them, such as some of the high-ranked movies on IMDB. I don't know whether it's the cutural thing or what. For instance, i wanted to watch some comedies when i had some free time. especially comedies about school life in America (there's not really a good way to say this...maybe 'teen movies and movies about college, like American Pie and Van Wilder'?), .This summer vacation, i worked with two guys from Pennsylvania. They recommended some movies that they thought i would like. Hangover, 21 jump street, pineapple express, knocked up,etc,i can't remember all of them. I liked the first two a lot. But I can't really understand what's funny about Pineapple Express--does it have something to do with marijuana culture?
i do think that there are some jokes which make sense, but others which i can not understand.
Do you have any great comedies to recommend? I would appreciate that. Action movies and feature movies (<--all movies are 'feature films'...do you mean dramas?) are also OK!
thx! please correct my mistakes and recommend some movies.As for movies, try Mean Girls--great high school comedy movie :)

Here's Lankao County, China, about 800km away from [the] coast.
I'm now traveling and experiencing varieties of China by bike.^I'd say "Right now, I'm traveling by bike (or 'biking cross-country') and experiencing the variety of the Chinese landscape". 'Varieties' makes it sound like you're talking about different types of things. Like, in a grocery store you would find many varieties of apples.
I prepared [<use past tense here] [for] this trip for two years[,] and finally [stepped onto] a ferry (ship)<--'ferry' is fine, no explanation needed :) towards Chingdao, one of [China's] beautiful coastal cities.
From there, I've been pedaling [westward], following the sun.
[The] scenery is beautiful and [the] people are so kind to [me, a] Korean.
Almost all of the people I met said it's their first time [meeting] [a] Korean.
Today's the 12th day of my [trip] and Kaifeng city is waiting for me.
Also, today's Sunday, so I'm going to [pray alone] before putting my luggage[singular] on my bike to go.
Thank God [for] always saving me!
and Thank you guys [for] always praying [for] me!0 votedAugust 26, 20120
