Self-introduction for applying part-time English TA in EF Good morning, My name is Chen Ge, and my English name is Cherry. I am 27 years old, born in Hunan province and my major is English.I’m open-mined, patient and work hard, what’s more, I like kids very much. There is a very classical line in the movie Under the Tuscan Sun “You have to live spiritedly in many directions, never lose your childish enthusiasm, and things will come at your will”, I really like this sentence, when I feel upset, it cheers me up. Since graduated in 2011, I’ve worked in several schools and training centers as a TA or English teacher. In 2012, I worked in a kids English center, the boss and colleagues were all very kind and easygoing, and the lovely kids, I did love that job. In that year,I learned a lot and enjoyed my life. As a TA, you should try your best to cooperate with the TR, enliven the atmosphere and keep order in classes. Sometimes you are a TA, other times you become a student; sometimes you are a adult, other times you become a child. In the class, you should switch your roles flexibly. Sadly, after one and a half years, I had to resign and move to another city. So I came to Huizhou in the second half of 2013, I worked in 2 different private primary school as an English teacher, but I don’t feel very well, although the students were very cute, maybe because I don’t agree the way of teaching kids English in those schools. I think the most important thing for learning a language is communication, but for those schools even many other schools in China, examination is a prime consideration. Now I quit my job and I’m preparing for civil service examination. Except studying I have lots of free time, so I want to do something interested.I know EF is a world-famous English training school, if I can work here, I’ll learn more at the same time. Thank you!

How do you like Man vs Wild?

My dad always watches this documentary.  I wonder whether there is only one person there (of course with the photographer), or they have a team there?

My Running Diary----Week 2 Why people here don't like running? I persist in running for 3 times a week, now it's the second week. I'm so happy i didn't give up. Every time I run one more circle, and now my legs and arms haven't ached any more after running. But i still felt tired. There're few people running in the morning, less than ten,and most are the old. I remember a Saturday morning, I went to HK, there were lots of people running along the Victoria Harbour. Why people here don't like running? maybe here is a small city, the population is smaller, I don't know. maybe people in some big cities like Beijing, Shanghai are also like running. I hope i can stick to running. Get busy living,Or get busy dying~~~

My Running Diary----Day 1 This moring I decided to run. Actually, I made this decision earlier in April, but I havn't taken action. At six thirty, I got up with the beautiful song from my alarm. After wearing my sports suits, I looked ouside through the window, oh my god! the sunshine was so strong that I even want to give up.I thought over and over again. I even afraided the people walking around the road, if they look at me, I would be very nervous. Oh, I had to think so many things, and time flies fast, the sun rised higher. At last, I opened the door and went running. I felt so tired after just running two circles around our community park. I found so weak myself, but I insisted in running two more circles. Back home, I was tired to die.My legs and arms sored, even my shoulders ached. Besides, I felt dizzy, and I had a headache. What I want to do most at that moment was lying on the bed and sleeping. After this morning running, I found my body is so weak. I should do more sports in the future. The reasons for my failing first running may be as follows: 1st. I didn't sleep very well last night, that means I didn't have a good rest before running. 2nd. The sun has already rised and the sunshine is strong. Next time I should get up earlier, maybe six o'clock. 3rd. I wore a pair of casual shoes, not running shoes, so it's not very convenient for me to run.

How to improve our spoken English on Italki?

Last month, I lost my Italki account and I've been confusing how to improve my speaking here~~~

"n"&"l",. I can't pronounce these two letters well~~~~who can help me? thanks very very much!! I'm from Hunan, which is a south-central province in China. In our dialect, "n"&"l" are pronounced the same, so I can't tell the difference between them. Anyone who has a good way to distinguish them， please tell me~~~thanks very very much!!
