Today's study Today is the first day to restart my English learning, and I have watched s short video, and learnt an important idea for learning languages, and I want to share it here with you. Make an analysis of your personality before learning languages, are you an extrovert or introvert? This is a simple view, basic but easily neglected. It is important because for different people there are different learning methods, and finding the right ways for ourselves to learn a language means that we can do half the work with double results. In terms of me, I'm an introvert, I'd like to spend time alone, study alone, I'm a chatterbox when I'm with my family or my close friends while I'm a wallflower when I with the casual acquaintances. But, although I'm a chatterbox when I'm with my close friends, I'm shy to speak English in front of them. It seems like, the closer we are to each other, the better I wish to perform in front of them. So the proper way for me to learn English is to learn and practice alone instead of studying with others I know. There are some advantages for studying alone, for example, I could have more time to spend on memorizing vocabularies or grammar, and I like writing something in English, besides , I'm better at listening. But there are some obvious disadvantages , for instance, I'm not good at oral English, I don't know how to express my feelings. Sometimes I know what I want to say and I have made sentences in my head for thousands of times, but I couldn't open my mouth for being tongue-tied. And I don't practice the new words for enough times, so I learn some and lose some. So how to improve my spoken English is my top priority. And what I'm doing now is to talk in some chat groups of some apps, since there is nobody know me in the real life, I won't be worried about that they will laugh at my accent or pronunciation although I know they won't do that. And also, I watch some videos, and after that I talk with myself about the idea, the expressions or something else of them, and question myself then give answers. Well, I hope I can keep on learning everyday, and practice in the chat groups, and improve my oral English day by day.

Feeling mentally exhausted recently This is the first note here, and I had planned to write something pleasing in the first note when I registered in this website, but unfortunately, nothing pleasing happened in these days. So I think maybe I have to write what is going on exactly as it is, something upsetting, depressing...And all of the unhappy things are due to the hurt of my knees!! My knees hurt right after I bought the membership cards in the dancing center and the gym !!! And that blames me myself. I did 160 squats in gym on the first day I went there, and after that I run for 1 hour at the speed of 8km/h. And because of the lack of common sense for fitness, I've done nothing for warming up, and done the squats in a wrong way. So, it seems to be inevitable to feel pain in my knees in the next day. I should have had my knees for a rest , yes , but I was so stupid, I did the opposite. I went to dance, and do some yoga, although I intentionally tried not to use my knees hard, they were getting worse. So I went the hospital to do a X-ray, thankfully, there is no problem with the bones. And I stopped dancing and exercising after that. There should be an end to this matter right??? But! Yes, there is always a but! But I checked on the internet during the working time, and found some net users said that the quiet squat could work to build muscles in the front sides of the legs to protect the knees, so I did some quiet squat down during lunch time, to the contrary, the pain intensified. SIGH. So I went to hospital once again, to do a MRI this Tuesday, and the doctor said there was no big problem, and he suggested I should have a rest, walk less, take elevator instead of stairs. SIGH again. So, now I'm at home without exercising. And due to the hurt of knees, I wasted my annual leave at home instead of traveling to Qinghai, with a computer and some movies, no Qinghai Lake, no rapeseed flowers sea. Maybe I have to wait until the next year to make this journey come true. I'm so sorry that this is a note full of negative energy, thank you for reading and helping me. I will keep on learning English, and writing more about English learning. And in the end, I wish myself a speedy recovery, and wish you a happy day.^.^ (The picture was photoed by a friend who travelled to Qinghai in the early of Jul., see you next year Qinghai.)
