我家有没有鬼?

昨天晚上我正在看电视一下子我听到了响声。 起初,我想这个响声就是电视的问题。可是响声继续了所以我把电视的声音关了。听起来动物在电视后面。。。可能是一个蛇!我不知道了我应该做什么。当时我还在地毯等一下因为我很紧张。 我不会动我的身体。


然后在柜子里(电视在柜子上)我看到了一个小塑料的东西搬了但是没看到动物。我怕死了。一定是鬼!!我从地毯跳到沙发。我会听见我的心--我不要见一个鬼。好几秒过了。终于我的脑子回来了,我认识到了不会是鬼,呵呵。 我细心看了看。忽然我看见一个小眼睛。是老鼠的眼睛!它在柜子后面。因为我不喜欢老鼠在家里,我还在沙发上想想我应该做什么。老鼠很勇敢,它慢慢的出现。我把脚放在地上很快为了让它害怕。老鼠藏起来了。


我最后做决定了。我关电视关灯然后跑到楼上的卧室里!


我希望今天下班以后我爸爸抓老鼠。

人蛇




为了写我的上个博客文章,我用字典找怎么拼 “移民”。 查字典的时候,我也找到了这个单词: “人蛇”。 这个单词真有意思。。人的意思跟蛇的意思一起 就是人蛇。 中文实在很老的语言!可能有一天要改变那个单词。。呵呵

无聊

今天很无聊。其实,最近每天很无聊因为我不断找工作。

上星期我在三家公司面试了。我觉得我留了好印象。尽管我一定是最好的人选之一, 但是人力资源部还没联系我。既然他们很慢,我一定等他门,可是我急死了。


这个星期五我要去一个小学面试。在这个小学,学生学习英语和西班牙语。也许,这些学生的父母是移民到美国,他们的英语就一般,所以父母需要会说西班牙语的老师。我还不清楚这个职位的期望,但是我应该知道怎么说一点儿西班牙语。不过,自从我学中文,我忘记了很多西班牙语。太可惜了。。

我的新中文日记




大家好,欢迎你读我的中文日记。请原谅所有的我的写错了的语法。我知道我的日记有好几错误。我的日记的重点不但是要进步语法,而且是写对了的字。我的日记现在开始。。。!就像一个小种子成为大树,我要变成中国树 。哈哈

I'm back...

Hello again!

It's really weird to be using my blog again in the USA- the format is much more sophisticated. Blogger is blocked in China so I had to get to my blog through a VPN, and the blogging functions were very limited. Even putting up pictures was sometimes a challenge. So this is great, except I don't know how to use it now haha.

Well, I stopped blogging after I came back from China because this was my China blog...and I wasn't in China anymore :)

I've decided to start using the blog again as a daily diary in Chinese.  It's not going to be groundbreaking stuff- I just want to use it to improve my Chinese grammar and character recognition. I truly want to become fluent, which takes a bit more effort when you're not surrounded by the language everyday.  I don't really have a reason for becoming fluent except that I really like the language a lot, and the idea of being fluent in it is very appealing to me. I see my study of Chinese as an extension of my time in China, so I can still use my China blog for it. I'm also too lazy to create a new blog :)

I doubt it will be of must interest to anyone, but you can always put the text into google translate if you want. Also, if you are a Chinese-speaking person who happens to come across this blog, I wouldn't mind some corrections.

I miss pretty much everything about China and hope to go back one day for an extended amount of time (this time WITH zach!), even if it's only to travel.  There are still so many places I want to go there. I would also love to have a reunion with some of my students way on down the road but that's going to be tough. I think some of the Chinese teachers that I was friends with there could make it happen though.

Here is a picture of me bringing China home to my house in the form of a hot pot dinner. Yes, I went native while I was there :) Honestly, coming back home was a pretty big adjustment for me, even though I was only there for a year. Some of the other teachers in Dalian have been there for sooo long, I can't imagine how they could ever really come back. There's just nothing here that can really compare to what it feels like living in China. But I can at least try to keep that spirit alive with my hot pot and the language....

Good bye English blog!
