自我介绍：原来为汉语桥大赛写出的。。。 以前一位很著名的美国人曾经说过，“我有一个梦想。” 他的名字叫《马丁·路德·金》后来，他这个梦想给我们美国一个很重大的影响。从当时一直到现在成为一种强大的，改变一切的力量。这就是梦想的力量。 我小的时候，不止一次做过一个，一样的，奇特的梦。在这个梦里我突然发现我在亚洲的末一个国家，面临了人生地不熟的困难，努力的，认真的，学习这里的语言，文化，和习俗。 在现实中，我经历的生活跟我所做的梦，我不少共同的特点。因此，我把我做的梦，当成我真正的梦想。 我来自西安交通大学，来自美国。我叫莫凯文。一听我的名字，我希望各位就会想到我梦想。谢谢孔子学院给我这个难得的机会来到中国。谢谢我的老师们在我前边儿领路。 —————————————— 比赛时他们只给我两分钟，所以这版比我原来写的还短一点。谢谢你的意见！！

日记：为什么要开始没几天写一个呢？ 各位好， 我最近两年在中国学过汉语。现在我到韩国去了。我很害怕如果我小用我辛辛苦苦学会的中文，他就会没了，被忘记了！另外中国还有我很多--会很生气如果我以后不会跟他们聊天--的朋友们，我今晚决定应该要开始练习练习。 好了我现在就开始说今天发现什么事，对你无聊的话就不看了！ 我今天给我一个韩国朋友帮忙。她上上个星期搬过家。因此近日她下班以后只能想，这个“新”的房子累，怎么装修才好啦。本日她在韩国最流行的网站“naver”找到一桌二手的化妆台。她给我打电话告诉我这个“好”的消息，可是我都很明白了，她就是这样来问我能不能帮她把这“小宝”带回家。 最后我当然搭手了。我一个人带着她的台子，她在我前边儿拿着本桌个小凳子领路。。我们俩这样通过首尔的地铁回到她家了。我不需要告诉你们多小人尴尬的看我这个有1米85，在地铁提着家具做的外国人。虽然有点不好意思（这个行为在首尔好像不正常）可是我把它放位(put in place?)以后看她高高兴的表情时，我都觉得很值得，感到好爽啦。

What is a good price for a plane ticket to Xi'an China?4 I'm going to be flying to Xi'an China the last week of August. I'm buying a one way ticket, and my dates are flexiable. Using American ticket websites, I've found a ticket from Omaha NE, USA to Xi'an Shaanxi Provence, China for $604 USD. Would it be cheaper to buy the ticket using a Chinese website or airline? Does anyone else have an even better suggestion? Thanks SO much for you help! I'm really looking forward to my trip!

Chinese Pop Music Awards A few months ago, I was on tudou and saw a video of some award show for pop music in China. I liked the music of the groups who were nominated for the award, and I'd like to download their songs, but I have forgotten what the award was called. Can anyone guess? The video was all in Chinese of course, and the group who won were in their 20's and I think the lead singer was a guy.Thanks for all your suggestions, I really appreciate your help! I still haven't found the group I was looking for, but I also couldn't provide you guys with very much helpful information to go off of. :)

When someone compliments me, how can I respond modestly? When people tell me I'm good at something, I want to know how to acknowledge their compliment, but also respond with modesty. How do I do this?

Lost Website: A wikitionary-like chinese dictionary website. Help me remember! I stumbled upon the aforementioned website about a month ago. Unfortunately, I did not bookmark it and cannot seem to find it now. It was a great site. You would type in the Chinese word (in pinyin I think) and the results for your search were definitions and examples of use that people submitted--thus it was wiki based. I have tried many times to find this site again, but in vain. Please offer your suggestions if you think you might know the site I'm talking about. Additional Details: I think the correct answer should be nciku.com.
