During that time, I know some history about cocoa beam and several steps of chocolate production. When I came back, I shared my pleased feelings with my roommate, a native speaker. What is a jolly day!]]> 2017-10-03 15:47:09 UTC https://padlet.com/XUANYIJIN/3dlgo0s3z4wl/wish/193500657 nraffin1 https://padlet.com/XUANYIJIN/3dlgo0s3z4wl/wish/196325594 2017-10-12 09:05:38 UTC https://padlet.com/XUANYIJIN/3dlgo0s3z4wl/wish/196325594 XUANYIJIN https://padlet.com/XUANYIJIN/3dlgo0s3z4wl/wish/196651115 On Thursday, I made a new friend called Jack. He is a British boy who really likes hiphop. These days, I am crazy about Chinese hiphop. There are many differences between English hiphop and Chinese hiphop. He shared a lot of famous British rappers and British raps to me. We talked about our understanding of hiphop, such as old school, flow and freestyle battle. It is very lucky for me to know a friend who has the same hobby as me!]]> 2017-10-12 22:17:46 UTC https://padlet.com/XUANYIJIN/3dlgo0s3z4wl/wish/196651115 nraffin1 https://padlet.com/XUANYIJIN/3dlgo0s3z4wl/wish/197260951 2017-10-16 09:29:13 UTC https://padlet.com/XUANYIJIN/3dlgo0s3z4wl/wish/197260951 XUANYIJIN https://padlet.com/XUANYIJIN/3dlgo0s3z4wl/wish/199309688 On Friday afternoon, I distributed leaflets in campus. It is not easy, as I not only had to send these handouts, but also needed to quickly tell some information about the event to passengers. For instance, this event called Taste of China, which will basically teach you how to cook traditional Chinese food and how to use chopsticks. I must show them more information and answer some specific questions in a short time. This experience help me to talk with natives more confidently and fluently.]]> 2017-10-22 00:58:20 UTC https://padlet.com/XUANYIJIN/3dlgo0s3z4wl/wish/199309688 XUANYIJIN https://padlet.com/XUANYIJIN/3dlgo0s3z4wl/wish/200210779 On Monday morning , I took part in the event called Taste of China which was holden by Chinese Society. I am a member of staff of it. In this event, I was teaching natives how to cook traditional Chinese food. However, sometimes I do not know how to explain some motions such as kneading. I have to collect and use more new vocabulary to improve my speaking.]]> 2017-10-24 21:21:44 UTC https://padlet.com/XUANYIJIN/3dlgo0s3z4wl/wish/200210779 XUANYIJIN https://padlet.com/XUANYIJIN/3dlgo0s3z4wl/wish/201517920 speaking log-effective communication.]]> 2017-10-29 18:13:45 UTC https://padlet.com/XUANYIJIN/3dlgo0s3z4wl/wish/201517920 XUANYIJIN https://padlet.com/XUANYIJIN/3dlgo0s3z4wl/wish/203464478 This Wednesday, I went to city center for board games. I made some friends, and they taught me how to play a board game called Uknow. It is easy for me to communicate with natives in daily life. However, sometimes I cannot understand some vocabulary in specific fields. Therefore, when they tell me some rules of Uknow, I was confused. I think I have to collect more vocabulary in daily life.]]> 2017-11-03 19:59:26 UTC https://padlet.com/XUANYIJIN/3dlgo0s3z4wl/wish/203464478 nraffin1 https://padlet.com/XUANYIJIN/3dlgo0s3z4wl/wish/205306655 Good logs.

We talked about some personal experiences of playing badminton, when we had lunch. In addition, I introduced some Chinese traditional cultures to her, and she shared some French songs to me. I learned a lot by talking to her.

From pronunciation to grammar, Chinese and English are totally different, which means it is very difficult for English native speakers to speak Chinese. As they did not learn any Chinese before, I had to talk with them by English. After this workshop, they shared their feelings about Chinese culture with us. I think it is a good experience for me to expend Chinese.]]> 2017-11-26 18:46:54 UTC https://padlet.com/XUANYIJIN/3dlgo0s3z4wl/wish/210181763 nraffin1 https://padlet.com/XUANYIJIN/3dlgo0s3z4wl/wish/213801240 VERB + VOCABULARY have | acquire, learn Learners of languages acquire vocabulary through practice. | build, develop, enlarge, enrich, expand, extend, increase, widen This book has been designed to help you expand your vocabulary. | enter The word ‘think tank’ entered the vocabulary (= became part of the language) in the 1960s. | use Specialized vocabulary is used in all the major disciplines.

We shared some interesting stories of daily life to each other and talked about some news had happened in China. He said he recently read a piece of news on line which reported that the Chinese government said any rap music containing  ‘inappropriate content’ must stop. In other words, some rap songs which have nasty words or illegal content in lyrics are not allowed to play on any music apps or video apps. Some dirty words may be seen in the rap of America, but the Chinese authorities think that they may have a negative influence on the growth of children and teenagers. Oliver, however, thought that this kind of rap music might have some bad effects, but it should not be totally banned from playing. I said that it was not widely accepted in China, and the government was aim to protect Children from unsuitable content.]]> 2018-01-30 20:06:12 UTC https://padlet.com/XUANYIJIN/3dlgo0s3z4wl/wish/226315461 XUANYIJIN https://padlet.com/XUANYIJIN/3dlgo0s3z4wl/wish/230311715 This Friday, I went to a bar called Circo with Jack who comes from Wales and studies Accounting and Finance in the third year. Recently, he has learned Mandarin, as he wants to go to China to open his business after he graduates. He said he felt lonely when he had studied in Hong Kong  for two months last year, as there were around forty students in the class, but only a little British students. As an international student in Britain, I knew that feeling. I encouraged him to try to make more new Chinese friends, as I thought if he tries to speak more Mandarin with Chinese friends, it will be helpful for his learning of Madarin.]]> 2018-02-10 22:38:46 UTC https://padlet.com/XUANYIJIN/3dlgo0s3z4wl/wish/230311715 XUANYIJIN https://padlet.com/XUANYIJIN/3dlgo0s3z4wl/wish/239432200 This Monday, I went to an event of Global Bodies and chatted with new friends. One of them who called Nancy comes from Thailand and studies Business Management in year three. Currently, I was interested in Thailand films very much, so we deeply talked about it. She said that nowadays the competition between actors was particularly intense, as the number of actors was generally increasing, but excellent film scripts are limited. Therefore, if an actor wants to get a good movie role, he not only has to be charming, but also needs to show perfect performances. I thought good actors may be the reason why Thailand movies are more attractive than before.]]> 2018-03-07 22:21:52 UTC https://padlet.com/XUANYIJIN/3dlgo0s3z4wl/wish/239432200
