Confusing about the speaking and writing in English. There is really hard to realise these two situations: saying some really formal and old-school words which are usually for writing with friends, otherwise writing the informal and over-fancy slangs and words in essay. I do not know whether it is caused as lacking of vocabulary, or whatever. It is embarrassing under some cases, especially in exams. I really appreciate having your comments below.

Translation: How Come for Killing a Healthy Giraffe to Feed a Lion? How come for killing a healthy giraffe to Feed a Lion? "The law of nature is far away from Disney Land." The superior of zoo said. 為什麼要殺死健康的長頸鹿去餵獅子？動物園園長：自然界可不像迪士尼卡通 A two-year-old healthy giraffe, Marius, was killed and dismembered in public as for feeding a lion in an zoo in Denmark, in February 2014. In terms of the overwhelming public echoes of such decision, the superiors of the zoo, Bengt Holst, even was threatened by his death. 2014年2月，丹麥動物園殺死了一隻兩歲的健康長頸鹿Marius，並將其屍體公開餵獅子。這樣的決定，引起各界不同的聲音，丹麥動物園的園長Bengt Holst還因此收到不同的死亡威脅。 Currently, he had a interview with Stern Magazine. During the interview, he talked about why he had made that decision back in those very days and the relationship between human beings and animals. 最近，他接受德國《星辰（Stern）》雜誌的專訪，談及他當時的考量和決定、以及人類和動物之間的關係。 The reason for euthanising Marius was since the strong fight between Marius, a two-year-old giraffe, and his father occurred. Naturally, it was the period for every giraffe to become independent. Therefore, the zoo had realised that it was time to spot an new home for Marius. 當時決定要讓Marius安樂死的原因是，二歲的Marius開始與牠的父親有強烈的對決。在自然界中，這樣的年齡通常已經自立。丹麥動物園開始意識到，有為Marius尋找新家的必要。 At first, an zoo in England was willing to receipt Marius, but as there were several giraffes sharing the similar gene-pool with Marius. The number of giraffes was already fulfilled in that England zoo already. 當時，英格蘭有動物園表示願意接收Marius，但是該動物園已經有Marius血緣相近的兄弟，整體而言和Marius相近的長頸鹿數量已經足夠。 Holst pointed out that, in the past, zoos would look forward to the special species. However, at present, zoos are prefer the variable species. Generally, the specie of Marius was not concerned about the extinction. Holst指出，過去動物園會爭取擁有特定物種，但現在各動物園都試圖追求多元物種。綜觀整個動物園的情況，Marius這個長頸鹿的品種，目前沒有面臨滅絕的可能。 As feeding lion by the body of Marius, in Holst's opinion, is a part of nature. "In reality, the relationship between animals is far way from the likelihood of DisneyLand." 至於讓Marius的屍體去餵食獅子，Holst認為，這是自然界的一部份。"在自然界之中，動物和動物之間不像迪士尼卡通。"

Which accent is better, British, American, or Chinese? As my memory, the first time I talked with a English speaker on Skype was around six years ago. At the end of that conversation, he told me that I had a mix up accent between British and American, due to I spoke several words in British accent, as well as several words in American accent. I was surprised by his mention. Actually, I did not notice which accent I had until he told me. Because of this event, I will pay more attention about how I pronounce words, and categorise them into two groups. I prefer British accent as its rhythms. Yet my friends consider that it is unnecessary to train your accent, thus it may drag the fluent and speed of my speaking. I appreciate having your comments below. :)

Dream in English I am wondering whether having a dream which all of the people are speaking English is a good sigh of learning English or not. English is sort of my second language, though. That is weird, right?

Introduce myself Hello, I am Chris. Nice to meet you. I have been studying English just for a couple of years. During these years I have spoken with so many non-English or English native speakers from different continents, countries, and cities in English. It is always marvelous to discover various mysterious cultures with actual human beings, not with a drab textbook. That is why I started my first English blog here, intending to meet more people from different places. I love reading different kinds of books, both fiction or non-fiction, as well as writing. Quickly jotting down some fancy thoughts, updating my books reviews, posting some of my funny stories, etc. I will share all the amazing things in my life with you. Hope you will enjoy this. Have a nice day.

First notebook entry: Introducing myself My name is Chris.And I come from Macao China. I am doing my beat at English. Why?Because I want to meet more friends around the multicoloured world. Also I love feeling more different culture. Of course,I enjoy my life by more and more friends. So if you are similar to these. Please be my friends. Have a nice day.
