Monday and a hellish morning bus
Have u ever tried to push urself into an overloaded bus in the morning rush hours? Well, I have. I have been reshaped by the crowd on such a bus every morning of weekdays. I never believed how flexible human body could be like this before i started commuting by bus. Acturlly, now I don't know why people spend so much money in gyms to keep fit. all they need is simply a bus in the morning. U'll have to use every piece of ur mucsles to get urself enough space for breathing, standing and to avoid tumble when the bus changes its speed or turns.
Usually it's quite an exercise and make u feel like a fighter. But things can be much worse on monday mornings. Just like this morning. When the bus arrived this morning, it was not overloaded anymore. It was overfilled! It was ridiculous that a bus could contain so many people and still move, and I even thought it was going to explode the next second.
I would love to step back and wait for the next bus if i could. But i was standing right between the open door and a dozen people trying to get on the bus recklessly. Thus I was forced forewards and magically got inside the door with half of my left foot on the 2nd step only, and the worst was yet to come——the door closed. I felt like it squeezed the last breath out of my chest and i had to turn my head as hard as possible trying not to bury my face into the butt of someone standing on the upper stair. And the girl behind me was pushing my waist probably to get herself some air. Standing on tiptoe, wrenching my neck, every minutes on the bus was a real torture. I suffered for over 40 minutes till I finally got the chance to get off the bus, totally exhauted with my legs cramping and used up all the energy for the whole day. The only comfort was that I should be very lucky for the following days as a compensation for this nightmare on this hellish morning bus.

the differences among some chinese words about "talk"
I‘m trying to help a friend understand the differences among some chinese words about "talk". i never realised those chinese vocabularies were so complicated before:P 欢迎各位指正！
说[shuo] = say ：
A对B说....（A says .... to B）
他说....(he says...)
说话[shuo hua]= "say sth"，or "speak":
for example: 不要说话（don't speak, or don't say anything）
他在说话（he is speaking）
对话[dui hua]= "conversation" or "have a conversation" or "talk with" .
“对话”here can be understood as"对"+"话"。
"对"here is like "towards each other", like "相对".
“话”means sth u say in a conversation.
so "对话" is like "talk" or "conversation" and should be used in a intransitive way or as a noun.
for example: A在与B对话（A is talking with B）
我们应该多对话。（we should talk to each other more.）
我们进行了一次对话。（we had a conversation）
我记录了我们的对话。（i kept a record of our conversation）
谈[tan]= talk about, disscuss
for example: 老板要跟我谈工作问题.(Boss is gonna talk about my work with me)
(Boss is gonna discuss my work with me. )
谈谈[tan tan] is similar to 谈 but less formal or less serious. "谈谈" can be used at the end of a sentence as an intransitive verb but “谈”can not.
for example: 老板要跟我谈谈工作问题。（Boss is gonna talk about my work with me.）
让我们谈谈。（let's talk.）
* U can say "让我们谈谈" but never "让我们谈"。If u'r not sure about "谈" or "谈谈"， it's safer to use "谈谈" as it can be used more widely.
谈话[tan hua]="conversation" or "have a conversation" or "talk with".
"谈话" is similar to "对话" and can be used almost in the same way. But these's slight diffence still. "对话" lay more emphasis on "对"，and it's more about the action of talking itself. "谈话" put more emphasis on the content of the conversation.
* If u'r not sure about "谈话" or "谈谈" as a verb， it's safer to choose "谈谈" cuz it can be more widely used as a verb. but "谈谈" cannot be used as a noun.
* "对话" sometimes is also used as "commutication" or "interaction" like in "人机对话"（man-machine interaction). "谈话" can't be used this way.
聊[liao] is similar to "谈" but more casual, more like a chat but not a conversation.
聊聊[liao liao] is similar to "谈谈" but more casual, more like a chat but not a conversation.
聊天[liao tian] is similar to "谈话" but much more casual. just a casual chat or even meaningless chitchat.

it's so annoying to see them all grey there. do I need to take language tests on the website or something like assessment?

First day here
It's quite a shame that I never knew this website before. I've always been looking for a language exchange partner to improve my speaking these years but never got a chance to find a proper person. There are a few agencies provide such service but they charge way too much money.
Now i'm here, updating my profile and expecting people to visit my page. I wish I could find a friend here that we can talk about movies and bands and our favourite food, or maybe just interesting things around us. I'm not so sure if I can really catch up with the conversation completely in English on these topics but I'll try. Meantime I'll try my best to help my partner with his/her Chinese. We could be good friends.
If anyone in Shenzhen finds interest of being my partner, it'll be even more lovely! ! We can not only chat online but also meet sometime in this adorable city and have fun together :D
