Do you know what's IPA yesterday i had an online lesson.it's about how to improve your pronunciation and explain the main reasones why you can't speak like English native speakers . it's very useful to learn it. but in the middle of the lesson, i was surprised by what the teacher told us.he says "i know that when chinese they started to learn English, they learn 26letters and IPA first, but the truth is that almost 99%English native speakers,they even don't know what's IPA let alone learn it, if they do learn IPA, it must be for doing linguistic research . " then i was like "whattt? "native speakers they don't learn phonetics? but why their pronunciation so good ?well, i know it's a silly question.haha but i am really curious about how native speaker learn to pronounce a new word they never know before if they don't learn IPA. is there any different way to learn how to pronounce? if so, please tell me, cuz it might be a good method to learn it. cuz i really don't like IPA that much .

what's "porochial "meaning in those sentences? ? i have been reading Oliver Twist .but there are some some sentences i don't exactly know what that mean. ""they had better not！"said Mr. Bumble ,clenching his fist. 'let me see any man 'porochial or extra-porochial, as would presume to do it; and i can tell him that he wouldn't do it a second time " and do you have any good advice for reading a masterpiece like that? appreciate

Tiger Mom and Helicopter Parent Recently, I happened to read an article from a book. it made me think a lot. it talked about a quite interesting topic for me,like "Tiger Mom "and "helicopter parent".I am not sure that phrases like that have really made their way into everyday language? if so, how do you about it? I am a typically chinese girl. I didn't mean to stereotype, at least, I have a traditional chinese parent.when I was a little girl I was not allowed to do anything with my parents permitted. but that's fine by me. I thought that all parents would do like that:just pay attention to their kids, clear all the obstacles ahead of them.,being a parent is minimizing risk for their children. but I found out maybe I was wrong. when I was talking about our parent with my best friend ,it reminds me of what I have gone through. I was not allowed saty at a friends' house overnight; I had to come back home home before 10:30 at night; I need to keep distance from those boys, yep, and they would stop me do anything that they thought what would bring dangerous for me. I think it's not mere a coincidence, I talked about my parents with my friend, and Uh-oh, after a short while, I read this article. so I was wondering is there something wrong with kind of "overparenting style "?

A MOODY GIRL A MOODY GIRL I think I am a moody person. when I am in bad mood, I usually think a lot of bad things too much. I will become upset and just want to set alone and do nothing. "I wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on high over vales and hills " as painful as Bella when she thought Edward got away from her. it seems that she lost everything, no friends, no parents, nobody want to feel like that. it's so painful. Maybe I am not fledged enough, so I don't know how to control my own mood in a right way. but also I am not a robot. I can feel the world, I have my own mood and mentality. even it's out of my control sometimes. fortunately, I gonna not let it ruin my life.

English Grammar I am not good at English grammar. it's troubled me a lot.Is it important to learn it well? I am not sure. but I don't think those native speakers focus their attention on grammar when they communicate with other people. I am so confused.

The best choice for me? it's really hard to delete your "language partner "from your QQ or skype contact. but I have no choice. because they wanted to make friends with you. but I don't know why we can't keep in touch with other after I become friend with them. Maybe it's was my fault for I can't found a probably time to keep in touch with my language partners?or we no common topic? I don't know. Maybe study alone is the best choice for me. ugh, that's not so good. :(

你只是看起来很努力 本是打算写一篇英语小作文的，可是只能悲催的承认，以我现在的英语水平还不足以表达此刻我的内心感受，不写吧，又实在是憋的慌。所以那些看不惯看中文小作文的同志们切勿提意见。李尚龙老师的这本书写的确实不错。不过我并不是附和《人民日报》对他的盛赞。在他的书里面，我确实找到了一些能让我震撼的内容，他讲述的故事生动又真实，其中有些经历让我有种感觉很熟悉。有些故事读完只感觉汗毛都竖立起来，心里一阵阵的轻颤。 你只是看起来很努力 你以为你在合群，你在浪费青春 优秀不够，你是否无可替代 没有一条路是白走的 尤其是这几个章节，真是每一个字，都写到我心坎里面去了，现在的我只觉得脑中一片混乱，有太多的东西想要表达却没有想到合适的方法，或许我应该把我读到的东西消化沉淀一下。就像是火山爆发的前期，总有一段酝酿的时间。
