The Winter Solstice (冬至) The Winter Solstice is a day of the conventional chinese solar terms. In this day, the people of the northern part eat dumplings and the southern par eat Tangyuan(it maybe called Glutinous Rice Balls). I eaten Tangyuan for breakfast this morning, because I am a southerner. It's kind of sesame taste, but too sweet to eat much. Then at noon, I wen to a Northeast dumplings restaurant with my colleague. She is a northerner, so we eaten the dumplings for lunch. We had three kinds of dumplings, all of these are delicious. We eaten them up. I think chinese traditional food is really tasty, and eat traditional food in the traditional festival is good custom.

Living with or without your family when you grown-up?

Please let's talk about that should a person living without family when he or she  has worked? Are you living with or without your family since you have grown-up? Which way is the better for you and your family? Why?

Looking for language partners I am so happy to talk with others that in different social customs . But I have a problem,why people greeting me then no following text . Maybe I am an boring troverted, do not good at talking , I don‘t know how to communicate with others especially people of different languages.Maybe they are in a super busy ,maybe they do not really want to learn Chinese,or maybe they just do not like talking with me. I am just want to improve my english there.So I hope I can find a native speaker that do not maid my poor english ,and would like to talk with me .It's better you are know much about china or you really want to learn chinese well . Anyway my Mandarin Chinese is good,and I still need language partners that interested in Chinese customs and Mandarin Chinese.Hope you doing well ,have a nice weekends!

The first composition: How to talk with people ? I don't known how to talk with foreigners. When I chat whit someone in the first time we meet .Someone may say 'Hi, how are you?' I should say 'I 'm fine , thank you ,and how are you?' Then someone say ' I am ok , and you ?' Oh ,no ,circle again . I don't know how to continue . So I just say 'I am ok , but I have something important to do. See you next time!' I am a little shy to chat with people , I am afraid that if I have say something wrong may hurt people who is talking to me. And my English is not well ,so I always don't known how to express my thought in a right way . Maybe I should do more practice. How I wish I could speak English fluently once I open my eyes in the morning.
