Tiny Pleasure #02 I posted a funny video in a Wechat(a popular social app in China) group and a person replied with "Lol"; I made my friend laugh when we were chatting; I almost finished all my work; I studied a lot; I got a free ice cream And I think I can get your correction. Thanks

Tiny Pleasure #01 Last night, I went to bed early, about 11 o'clock. Much earlier than before. I used to sleep late, which I know is not good for my health. I have been thinking to adjust my work and rest time for a long time but I can't help staying up late for the desire to finish all the work on the same day. It is becoming a dream to me. Last night, after I finished a 1 on 1 lesson I felt tired. I walked on the road for a long time with making a decision that I would put aside all my work, take a shower and lie on bed. I did put aside all my work but I needed to answer a phone from my friend who got some trouble. It turned out things are not always going on as your wish. However I lied on bed at 10:50pm and fell in asleep soon. It was sort of making my dream come true. After a deep nice sleep, I woke up at 7 o'clock this morning. Everything seems be refreshing, including my mood! Have a nice day everyone!

Mood Down #01 This morning I gave my colleague who is also my friend, a suggestion about an teaching accident yesterday. We are a training school supplying tutoring service for adults and kids. Here's the thing: a class canceled their lesson of yesterday one week ago, but my colleague forgot to notice the teacher. So apparently, the teacher arrived on time and was told the students asked for leave already. She left with anger. But she still can get one hour compensation, which is not my point here. Anyway, thing happened while our head tutor didn't know anything. I think this accident should be known by the head tutor. So this morning when I asked her whether she already told the head tutor and she said no and not necessary, I gave her my thoughts, as her friend. However she kept saying it's unnecessary to report, because it already happened and the teacher would get her compensation in the end and the head tutor might don't care about it etc. Now it seems that was a bad idea to give my suggestion, because she didn't want to talk with me. I am upset and I don't know what should I do. :-(

Things not to do when you hanging out with Chinese people [1] It's already hard to live in a strange country, and learning to get along with local people makes it harder! Since you are living in China, you have to eat with Chinese people and deal with the paying stuff. So how to avoid awkward situations? 小S is giving you a list showing what Chinese people are not comfortable with you. First of all, I need to explain an important word to you: 吐槽（tu3cao2）means “to question or comment creatively on something ironic/funny” and is often oversimplified to mean “complain, grumble”. Well, as for eating with foreigners, what are Chinese people discussing and complaining about? Let's see. 吐槽1： Gāng huílai, gēn wǒmen gōngsī xīnlái de wàiguó tóngshì chīfàn le. Yòu qù chīfàn le? Tā qǐng nǐ? Bụ̀ shì, chīle liǎng cì fàn, dōu shì wǒ fùqián. Wàiguórén zhēn de juéde Zhōngguórén dōu xǐhuan mǎidān ma? comments: Foreigners are welcome in China. Most Chinese people would like to treat foreigners especially when they come to China for the first time. They'd like to show their kindness and friendship to them, but that doesn't mean they like paying for the bill.There is an important word “礼尚往来(li3shang4wang3lai2)” in Chinese social culture which means:"You treat me this time, I treat you next time." If you keep others paying, you are consider as a stingy unpolite guy for them. 吐槽2： Wǒmen lạ̌obǎn tài xiǎoqì le! Zěnme le? Jīntiān gēn wǒmen yī̠qǐ chīfàn, zhǐ fù zìjǐ de qián. Wàiguó lạ̌obǎn dōu zhèyàng ma? comments: Chinese people hold that the boss is supposed to pay when he eats with his employees.That shows the boss value and care to his eploees. So if you invite your employees to have dinner with you, you should be ready to pay.

How to express your emotions in the coolest Chinese lingo(2) (3) 靠 (shit) The two above are only warm-up. We are closer to get to the real words you want to know. haha! “靠!” in Chinese is “shit!” in English. “擦！” is stronger than “靠！” while weaker than “F*”. What? You want to know how to say “F*” in Chinese? Well, contact me privately, ok? When your favorite football team is about to win with the last important score, but unfortunately they missed it. The moment you realize the failure, you really need this word to express your anger and disappoint: “靠！” If it doesn’t work, you can say it three times:“靠靠靠！” (4) “XX你妹！” (fiddlesticks) This is a structure which is used to exclaim against someone who is speaking nonsense and offend you. It is as good to use as “fucking” in English. Basically, you can put anything before “你妹” to show your antipathy. There was a popular video online before. A man ate sunflower seeds on a public bus, another man couldn’t stand it and told him not to do such things on a bus. After that, the first man began to repeat one sentence:“我跟你什么仇什么怨？！”[Why do you have hatred to me?!] again and again. After 7 minutes for 37 times, the second man finally kicked his ass. I guess the second man must say：“仇你妹，怨你妹，唠叨你妹！烦不烦！” while he was kicking that man’s ass. 小S thinks people will live a better life when he knows how to swear or vent his bad emotions,espacially he is living in a foreign country and he can make the local people understand his feeling.But you won't use them frequently,right? [Test：reply “我想知道”to SpicyChinese, we'll send you the answers to refer.] You liked a girl for a long time. Today you told her you liked her and she told you she likes woman, you were shocked and say:" !" Your friend said he wanted to introduce a beautiful girl to you, you were happy. Today after you met with her, you found she is ugly. Your heart was keep saying with complain:" !" You are travelling. Today you walked for a long time to find a restaurant. When you were about to pay, you found your wallet was stolen. You might say loudly:" !" Today you were on a metro.A man was staring at you

How to express your emotions in the coolest Chinese lingo(1) There are always some people or something that make you want to say swear words. Since you are living in China, it would be cool to relieve your bad feelings in Chinese. So let’s talk about the top 4 words to vent your negative emotions in a safe range. As for the dirtiest words, let me know with private message if you are interested in. (1) 晕 (You kidding me) “晕” literally means “dizzy; faint”, e.g.”头晕”. If it is used alone as a modal particle “晕！”，you can express your surprise even shock to things or people, usually in negative ways. Imagine you are at your office Christmas party and you and your colleagues are gonna to have a “Secret Santa”. The moment you found your “secret santa” got you a bottle of soy sauce, you would feel definitely lucky you know this word “晕！” The voice circles and circles and circles in your heart … [Continue! There is a test at the end of the article.] (2) 坑爹 (deceiving me) Have you ever travelled to scenic areas and the prices of commodities are high to believe there. One Chinese noodle costs 100 kuai? One ticket for a small mountain costs 500 kuai? Ten minutes-trip costs 50 kuai? One hotel room’s price raises from 200 to 800? 小S know there is only one word to describe your mood at that time:“坑爹啊！” [Say it out loudly like the person in the following picture.] So “坑爹” is used when you encounter a situation that makes you feel cheated or the situation is the reverse of your expectation.

How to describe a man with the most Chinese popular words Since last week 小S published an article about how to describe a girl with the most Chinese popular words, people have been keeping saying how they like it and asking how to describe a man. 小S appreciate your support and today let’s talk about some topical expressions that can be used for men. 男神 handsome, dashing, Just like “女神”, “男神” refers to the man who is good looking , dashing and well-built. “男神” is also can be used to describe a man whom you admire but find difficult to attain. You must have heard of “高富帅”，小S think “高”“富”and“帅” may be the basic quality to be a “男神”。 Most Chinese girls think “Beckham 是她们的男神”, what do you think? 屌丝 poor, low social status, hard working for survival “屌丝” is fundamentally different type of people with “男神” and “高富帅”. A significant feature of this group is “穷”。They have to work hard to live a better life because they were not born with a silver spoon in their mouth. “屌丝” was translated to “losers (but without a distinguished family background)” in English. It often be used to laugh at oneself both for men and women and Chinese young people do like it! 小S wants to say:”小S也是一个屌丝。你呢？” 【Here is supposed to be a picture of “屌丝”， so picture it as yourself or 小S.】 宅男 like staying at home The original meaning of “宅” is “house/home”, “宅男” refers to the man who likes staying at home all day long, generally for playing video games. This kind of people are lack of social connections living in his own small world. Most people equate “geek” “nerd” or “IT guys” with “宅男”。 You can also use “宅” as an adjective or a verb itself. If you ask me:“小S，你这个周末打算做什么？” I would like to say:“宅在家里！哈哈” 大叔 middle age, gentleman, responsible “大叔” literally means “uncle” who is in middle age. In addition, “大叔” should be mature, responsible and reliable. “大叔” with a moustache will be more in favor by Chinese young girls. In this light, George Clooney 是 “大叔” 的代表! 暖男 caring, considerate, domestic “暖” means “warm”, so literally “暖男” means “warm man”. It is used to describe a man who is family-oriented，considerate and protective. “暖男” is just like a big blanket that wrapped you up when you need. “暖男” are not only good at caring about others’ feelings but also good at doing housework, especially cooking. A girl told me she won’t marry “暖男” who is not enterprising.

Internet Slangs Hey friends, I really need your help to correct me. I am trying to explain some popular Chinese internet slangs for people in English.

Learning to write English cover letter. Hey friends, I am learning English Practical writing now. It's not easy for me. Maybe it's easy to correct the grammar mistakes, but it's difficult to keep the way of expressing and thinking to conform to a foreigner's habit. Thanks for helping me on either one. Dear Hiring manager, I am writing to express my interest in the Placement Assistant in Shanghai office.I have been working in a consult company as a Chinese teacher for almost three years. Technically, I can do noting except teaching Chinese. But that doesn't mean I don't have the potential to become a placement assistant. On the contrary, my current job makes me qulalified to the positon. 1. Multinatioal culture. The company where I am working in is a multinatioal company. I am familiar with people from multinational culture,U.S.，England, Spain, Norway, Sweden, German, Frence and so on. So I know differences between China and English-speaking countries. 2. Good communication skills. Communication is very important in our class. We need to listen carefully and response properly in order to keep the conversation going and going well. 3. Responsibility and patience. Once I had an English student who liked to have class from 7:30am to 9:00am. I said "yes" before I knew his address. It turned out I had to spend at least one and a half hour to get to the meeting place for one trip. And that student was a forgetful person, which made my teaching harder. But I persevered with it for two years and he is at intermediate level of Chinese. I think that's my responsibility and patience helped me a lot. In addition, I am passionate about what you are doing. To communicate with people of different cultures? That’s good. To help young people enriching their experience? That’s cool! “Keep an open mind.” That’s what I need now. That’s why your company is my next step! Best regards, Cuir
