Last week was pretty eventful for me. First, I went to the dentist because I had a cavity that needed to be treated. The dentist drilled my tooth, and even though it didn’t hurt as much as I expected, the sound of the drill was still kind of scary. After that appointment, I felt relieved that the cavity was finally taken care of. A few days later, I joined a school field trip to Chinatown. The streets were colorful and lively, and the smell of delicious food filled the air. My friends and I tried some steamed buns and walked around looking at different shops. It was a fun way to learn outside the classroom. I also visited a brow salon for the first time. The staff shaped my eyebrows carefully, and the result looked much better than what I could do by myself. It gave me a little confidence boost. At the end of the week, my club had a celebration party. I was one of the organizers, so I tried my best to make sure everything went smoothly. Ironically, I ended up being the one who got the most drunk. Everyone teased me about it, but it turned into a funny memory.

My grandfather passed away, so I went back to my hometown. It had been a long time since I saw all my relatives, and I was happy to see everyone again, even though it was a sad occasion. During the funeral, I gave the farewell speech on behalf of the family. Everyone was crying, and it was very emotional. Because of the mourning leave, I had to return earlier than the others, but my relatives stayed together and spent more time with each other. Although it was a sad farewell, I felt grateful to have such a warm and supportive family.

Many Mandarin learners tend to take a Chinese name especially when they live in Mandarin-speaking countries or engage with native speakers fairly often. Here are some cultural things in terms of picking a Chinese name. In Chinese culture, names usually carry good wishes for their owner. 强，斌 are a couple of most common names I have seen, 强 means “being outstanding among a group, which regarding capability”, and 斌 consist of “being educated well, plus showcasing abilities to be a general or military officer, or being physically strong that can overdo a number of people when it comes to a fight”. My name takes parts of the meaning of “original, capital(the most important),one”, which carries “stick with a dream or wish made by oneself when someone was little, and keep effort onto it until they finally get around to it”. In contrast with other cultures, people whose native language is Mandarin are likely to have too many options when they get to choosing legal names, a bunch of parents are not able to give their newborn babies’ names on their own that they prefer to seek help from experts who are good at giving names, even though they realize that people with various available names are around them in everyday life. The simple motivation for picking a special name that other people don’t use so much is at the bottom of that case. So it’s not strange to see or hear very unusual names over here, which you perhaps need some lookup to call out the names, then again, the certain groups did rack their brains to find a fascinating one to address somebody. Personally, I don’t like unconventional names at all. I am fond of common names or the names are not pretty “mouthful” at least, because they are easy to remember and pronounce. My name is simply made up of one syllable, I like it.

COMMON MISTAKES ENGLISH LEARNERS MAKE (And How To Fix Them) As an English teacher, I often notice that my students make the same little mistakes no matter their level. Let’s look at 3 of them 1. ❌ I’m agree ✔️I agree Agree is a verb, so we don’t need am. Example: • ❌ I’m agree with you. • ✔️I agree with you. 2. ❌ He go to work every day ✔️He goes to work every day Don’t forget the -s in the 3rd person singular. 3. ❌ I’m boring ✔️ I’m bored I’m boring means you make others bored. Example: • ✔️ I’m bored = I feel bored. • ❌ I’m boring = I’m not interesting! Tip: When you notice your mistakes, don’t feel bad, it means you’re learning!
