Hi,everyone,I'm a college student in China,and I'm from Beijing.

I want to improve my skills in writing,but there're so much problem for me.

For example, I always committed some mistake of grammar,and I couldn't use the word in some correct way, and some mistake in spelling... :confused::confused:

If you have some ideas,just tell me ,please.

Thanks a lot!:)

I'd suggest you join some websites or boards so you can practice your English by posting, and see how people reply to you. If possible, speaking is good too, but that might be harder to arrange.

Hi again, shihouzhuge!

Thank you for starting this thread! I've already indicated to you that you can practice things on this site in many ways.

I'll be around...

Thanks!

English is a very difficult language. I think you have expressed yourself very well.
Research idioms because the English language is "rife" :( new word) with them.
The mistakes in grammar come with practice.
Talk to people who you can learn from and have confidence that you are doing a good job.
Take one word at a time :)

Hey, artlady!

"Rife" would seem to me the correct word to use with the message that you were trying to convey!

Thanks!

Thanks,artlady.
But people around me are all Chinese , talking to them makes my English does like "Chinglish":D
Though I have always made some mistake, there's no such problem in vocabularies.
And I do hope you all could point out the mistake that I made.

Thanks! :)

I'm here right now, shihouzhuge!

But, I do need to get up early in the morning for me! I can work with you for awhile, though. I'm also going to combine your two threads about this since they have the same title.

Thanks!

Thanks,Clough!
I didn't take the threads in a correct way, and sorry for my publishing two same threads...
In my opinion,Regularly resting and working does make a sense, I hope you could do it properly... :)

Gosh, you're really starting to get to know me here! That was very insightful!

I try to do those things properly, but probably, not hard enough!

Thanks!

Your use of the mini-phrase "on it" is admirable! You "catch on" quickly! The use of "on it" is called a colloquialism, which means that the word or words used in a sentence are idiomatic to certain regions and ways that people in general might use certain words and phrases.

Thanks!

Lol!:D
My teacher told me that the phrases"i'm on it " means "working hard",thus I could use it so often...
On the other hand, the popular words are always strange to me...
Lol!

Thanks,Clough.
By the way, I want to go to bed for my noontime snooze...

See you next time...
Lol!

Okay, I'll "see" you sometime soon, then!

Sweet dreams to you! :)

Thanks!

Yes. Definitely. Also English language telelvision

Hi, Eileen G!

How would shihouzhuge best be able to see television that's in the English language, please?

I don't normally watch television and your thoughts concerning that would be really helpful!

Thanks!

CNN is available in most of the world, often BBC World news as well. I'm open to correction here, but I'm willing to bet that a lot of American shows are shown throughout the world, with subtitles.

Maybe surfing in the internet is free for you, but it's not for me:o
Thus, See the TV is not so proper for me.
Thanks...
How about the <<Time>>?
