"...which is of great value to..." I wonder what the difference is between saying "an experience which is of great value to their careers later in life" with saying "an experience which is great value to their careers later in life". I find formal documents use a lof of phrase "subject + (to be) + of + noun".

I spend almost my free day doing a lot of exercises at home I don't like to come to noisy and crowded places. In my free day, I prefer staying at home to train myself rather than going out. I love doing a lot of physical activities, such as dancing, jumping, stretching... so I spend almost day on training my body. Sweating during a workout makes me feel better and also helps me to release stress.

It took me two hours to write an essay Today it took me around two hours to write an essay. I didnt know what to write and how to write, so I spent a lot of time to read related essays and search information on the Internet. Finally my essay ws done, and I felt proud of myself. Even it took me very long time to finish an essay, but it was a good work. All I need to do is practice, practice and practice.

Feeling lost is not completely unhealthy I can say I'm a result-oriented person who is working very hard to achieve my targets. But sometimes I feel lost on my pathway. Sometimes I don't know what to do next and become suspicious of my own abilities. I've gradually realized that feeling lost is not completely unhealthy, it looks like a pause before going further. Anytime facing that feeling, I know that I need to relax and take a break before coming back to the war.

Keep reaching out to the ones you love I've gradually realized that my parents who maybe not exactly the kind of mom and dad I desire but they are real angels for me. They're the only people patiently waiting for me to come home.

I've just known that "check" in American English means "cheque" in British English This morning, I sent an email to an American team with the term "cheque" and they replied to me with the term "check". I also find out "a quid" means "a pound" in British English. Last night when watching "How I Met Your Mother" Season 8, I heard the characters mentioned "prenup" instead of full phrase "prenuptial agreement". The above things my English teacher didn't teach me. That could explain why I've studied English for nearly 10 years but my level is just at, maybe, upper intermediate or lower advance. And I'm still so scared when communicating with native speakers. I think I'm on the right track now, just continue to learn English consistently and it must be improved day by day.

Start using iTalki since today I've known iTalki for a while but still delay to use it for many reasons. But today I give myself a try to see how it works and how it helps me to achieve my goal. I'm afraid of writing English because first of all, I don't know what to write. Maybe because I didn't practice writing a lot and I didn't read books enough. I'm afraid of listening English because when the native speakers speak too fast, I cannot follow them and quickly get confused and lose my confident. I'm also afraid of speaking because I think I pronounce not accurately. After all, I didn't spend enough consistent time to improve my English.
