我的中国老师 （修正） 我二月在学校里遇见一个中国女孩。她教几个小学生汉语， 但她不是很忙。她给了我几本汉语书。我通过这些书学了很好汉语。在汉语学习上她给了我很多帮助。学中文是一件很棒事，就是太难。她打算回家了，所以今天我给了她一个礼物， 一个布娃娃, 一头小猪。他是一个吉祥的象征，特别是在西方文化。她很可爱 嘻嘻 而且她很有耐心。我会想念她。。。

London - Jack the Ripper - Sherlock Holmes I´m going to go to London in the beginning of July and I want to visit the London Dungeon to inform myself about Jack the Ripper at the scene of crime. I also want to go to the neighbourhood is called “Whitechapel”, where most of the murders were. I´m a little bit scared of these murders, because of this kind of brutality. It´s unbelievable (to me) how a human can do something like that. The murderer is still unknown. I think it´s because of the bad possibilities of figuring out a criminal in the ending of the 19th century. The official list of Ripper´s victims is constituted of five women, who were prostitutes. The police wasn’t sure about more victims, but maybe he killed more than these five ones. The suspect list was limited of four men, but even Scotland Yard couldn’t prove anything. So no one could be arrested, although there were some men who purported they had been the murderer. More than seventy men were suspected, but the investigations came to nothing. Today there are still suspicions and investigations. I´m interested in the detective Sherlock Holmes as well. To connect Jack the Ripper and Sherlock Holmes is a very good idea in my opinion. But you have to keep in mind that one is non-fictional and the other one is fiction. Sadly Sherlock Holmes is the fiction and not Jack the Ripper. It might be that Sherlock Holmes could have solved this cruel crime. I´m very enthusiastic by Holmes´ powers of observation. The creator of Holmes, called Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, said he had been inspired by his professor Joseph Bell in Edinburgh. Interestingly this professor tried to help Scotland Yard to figure out Jack the Ripper, when the fourth dead woman was found. But also he couldn’t produce a corresponding result. So I want to visit the Sherlock Holmes Museum in the famous Baker Street 221b, too. It will be a very exciting crime day. Maybe the modern possibilities make it possible to crack this about 100 years old case someday.

Resa91's notebook entry: Sep 15, 2010 It was a busy day. I have to stand up at 6 o´clock every day when I have school. Most of the days I have 10 lessons! Sometimes there is free time between them but I cannot go home then. So I have to stay in school. I try to mark the time in a wise way. Tomorrow I´m going to do my homework for the lessons having after my free time. Many other pupils sit in the room for the pupils who are in an upper class. So everyone knows everyone, I think so. It´s helpful, if you don’t know anything or you have forgotten something like a ruler. Next week I will have to write three tests: Latin on Monday, English on Tuesday and politics on Friday. I hope that English will be okay… We shall analyse a speech, maybe by Martin Luther King or Malcolm X… Our topic for this semester is: The African-American Experience. It´s always about slavery and segregation and the rights of blacks or rather the nonexistent equality of black and white people in the USA. I think it´s an important topic, but analyzing a speech is very hard. I don´t understand sometimes what the main statement is of the speaker, because they often use so many figurative phrases, which I cannot classify correctly. Do you have any tips for me?

Please write your correction in Pinyin, too. It´s easier for me =) I have some questions, too: What is the difference between中文 (zhongwen) and 汉语 (hanyu) and when do you use which one? What is the difference between 可以 (keyi) and 会 (hui) and when do you use which one?

Resa91's notebook entry: Sep 01, 2010 I am ill. I have a cold and fever… I lie on my bed, most of the time, but it´s very boring. I listen to the radio and read an English book, so I Take time by the forelock. Sitting in front of my computer is sometimes really stressful for me, because I´m hot and cold again and again. I drink a lot of tea. That is a really delicious tea, mango-kiwi. I hope that I will have a better feeling tomorrow, so I can go to school because of having a class exercise! I think about my boyfriend and his little cute rabbit…! I miss them… and his best friend, too, but maybe I will see the two guys on Sunday! I look forward to meeting them!

Resa91's notebook entry: Aug 29, 2010 I don´t know what I could write down, but I want to write something. Sometimes I just lie on my bed and listen to music. After a while I doesn´t hear the music, because I´m lost in my thoughts. Then I can have good and bad feelings. I think it´s difficult to stop bad feelings, if I have some ones. In this situation I try to think about good happenings, but it doesn´t always work. After this it helps to chat with my friends or to read a good book. It´s hard for me to think in another language. I don’t know accurately why. Other people haven´t a big problem with it. I have learned English for 6 years, I think, but I`m not sure of many sentence structures and tenses. There are many things which you have to take note. Instead of having problems with that it can be easy to chat with other people. So It´s nice to meet new people and get to know them.

"Cookie" My boyfriend has an extreme cute rabbit, a Lionhead Rabbit. She is called “Cookie” and she is also scrumptious! I like her very much. She is very cuddly and gentle. The color of her coat is a bright brown. So she looks a little bit like a very cute lion lady. If she moves, her tail (?) looks also very dulcet. I love rabbits. They eat all the day and they often are gentle. So you can cuddle them, but just if they want! Sometimes they just want to move and then they get themselves way!
