I found out that it's very hard to find a language exchange partner.
Of course, i mean a right parnter.
Finding a person to talk is easy，but if you want to have soild learning and eager to improve your level, that would be different.
Everytime i got a partner,it ended with boring chat.
At first, we both all interested, talked movies,music, weather,sports and so on.
But little by little the topic became dreary.
Finally, it's over.
Then another parnter, same repeat.
This is really frustrating.
So, what about you ?
Can you tell me ?
How long have you been studying Chinese ?
What level are you at now ?
And what's the reason that promoted you to learn it ?

According to the ancient Chinese mythology, Cangjie created the Chinese characters.
The ancient Chinese book "Chun Qiu Yuan Ming Bao" reads :
Changjie traveled to the confluence of the Yellow and Luo rivers, and he saw a turtle with lines on its back that seemed to form a picture called Hetu. Changjie, inspired by Hetu, desired to understand other meanings between heaven and earth that could be expressed with lines, so he looked for changes in the stars' movements, he looked at the feathers of birds, the patterns of fish scales, and he observed trends of rivers and lines of roads. Through the observation of these natural phenomena, he created Chinese characters.
Perhaps this text deified Changjei, but it also reveals the advantages of Chinese characters.
The advantages can help you to learn fast.
One way to create Chinese characters is through Pictograms. Based on Pictograms, other ways are added, gradually developing into ideogram.
So learning Chinese is like playing Lego, where the characters are like Lego bricks.
