First notebook entry: Introducing myself

First notebook entry: Introducing myself

I am learning English because I want to make friends from America.
My native language is Chinese, and I grew up in Tianjin, China.
I enjoy badminton and basktball. On weekends I will go fishing to look for joy.

This is a very good introduction, Abe!  The second sentence would read better as follows, "I grew up in Tianjin, China and my native language is Chinese."
