my essaies and pictures

Your trip is fantastic, Lewis! I like swimming in the sea, too. It is easier to control one’s body than swimming in the river, though the salt doesn’t taste good. Meg and I both like sushi, especially tuna fish sushi. There is a Korean restaurant near my home. In recent years Korean TV series and restaurants became in fashion. Once I tried to cook sushi at home, but I totally failed. I like riding bike, too. However, I haven’t ridden bike for a long time since I lost my bike. I have already lost 3 bikes until now.

Today it is still hot. Since I have writing my blog, I always took my camera everywhere, like a journalist. It is a little funny! I don’t have confidence about my English writing, so I post lots of pictures to compensate for readers.

table tennis tables

This is a playground not far from my home. There are lots of table tennis tables. So it is easy to understand why Chinese athletes have got so many gold medals in table tennis competitions. This building is where the students have classes. It is quiet during the summer vacations. A mother was playing table tennis with her son when I took this photo. After this photo is uploaded, they will be too small to be seen clearly.

If someone speaks like BBC broadcasting--- formal and using lots of decreasing tones, I regard he speaks with a London accent; if someone speaks with rolling tones---like VOA broadcasting, I guess he comes from the USA; if some speaks really fast, I expect he comes from New Zealand. However, I often realized those characteristics only after they have told us where they are from. Actually English with accents never bothers me. It is easy to understand each other after talking for a while. Different Chinese accents can be totally different. Cantonese sounds like foreign language for me, though I like Cantonese songs.

I have been to terra cotta army many times. My parents were born in xi’an and I was also born in xi’an. All things that surprised tourists are very common in my eyes. But after traveling to some places in China, I found xi’an is unique. You can find the traces that human lived and left. I haven’t been abroad yet. Hopefully, one day I’ll saved enough money and get the chances to visit some other countries! I really want to try my English in an English spoken country!

I am glad you are interested in our history. I am interested in the UK history, too. Like Hyoshil, I was also never good at histories. What is more I am not good at geography, too. 2 or 3 days ago I looked at the map and found the UK is small geographically, but why it has so profoundly influenced the World? What is the most important thing that made the UK ahead other nations? Do you know the answers?

hi,Jenny i think we have a lot in common. i like swimming and riding a bike. i go swimming as many times as i can and i can swim about one mile without stopping.i've heard many korean entertainers and singers are very famous and demanded in China.i am very suprised that your town has a korean restaurant. do they serve good dishes? the other day i met a lady who is from scottland and i barely understood what she said.her accent was very different from english people. my husband is from lincolnshire and he uses the local dialect and speaks very fast and loud when he meets his family or friends.sometimes it sounds Greet to me.i want to play table tennis but it is not easy to find a place where has a table tennis table in my town in Britain. to be honest with you,i think your english is wonderful and your writing is fantastic.i think you are very humble and polite to think your english is not good enough to give the readers satisfation.so Jenny keeps your head up and keep on writing. i am waiting your next post.bye now

hey, jenny, I can see you have make progress in your english writing, good for you! I am your loyal reader though I didn't write too much. But, today, I want to write sth. Keep hardworking, dear jenny. The only one is that there is a lack of fluency in your expression. So, Learn more from Lewis's writing and other orginal English writing. It will help you a lot. Maybe, the imitation is possible if necessary.
