new here,anything I can help you all?

my Eglish is very poor!

Your English was good enough for me to understand.

Well, the biggest problem for us Chinese people's speaking English is that we don't have enough confidence. Be confident, you will easily be understood when speaking English. :)

en...YaoMing's English was very very poor before he went to USA,but only after 1 year he can communion with other people easily.

I have studied English 9 years and my CET 4 have not pass yet...

You`re doing fine, keep going. We`re here for you to practice with if you want.

I have studied English 9 years and my CET 4 have not pass yet...?

and I haven't passed ~ yet....

Carl, China English Test System = CET, ~ is for junior university students, CET-6 is for senior university students.

Thank you!

Communicating with you,I put many translating book besides me....haha

I heared the place where inshore in China,people's English are more better than our place...they must pass the CET 4 in grade 1 in the univercity,isn't it?

tfzjn, perhaps you never before saw the reason for learning English and our coming here will spur you on.

The more you read and practice the more you will learn, the difference here is you can have some fun while doing it.

xie xie (thank you)

I think when we talk with foreigners who speak English,we needn't speak every word,many times the foreigners can guess our meaning.

but the problem is what they(like carl.h) type is some different with what we studied in the school,which has strict phrasing.

It is also different in our forum as we use slang ( local dialect names for things), it must be hard to follow.

We probably also talk different to what you would expect with different accents as is probably the case in China. Shanghai is probably different accent to Beijing and different from Hong Kong.

Language like life evolves and each new generation has different expressions, I know some of you are about 19 years old but if you spoke with an English 19 year old you would think they are not speaking English.

I try to stick to established guidelines and not use words you may not have in your diction.

It's very kind of you to teach me so much,,It's too late to me...I must go to sleep,

this is my pic photoed in SiChuan province when I travel there.

That looks very beautiful area with Mountains etc.,

to tfzjn:
Is there xizang?I have seen some towers and buildings which really look like temples in xizang.....

to carl.h:
it's very kind of you to help us to improve our spoken-English :)
Actually, as a high school student I don't have enough chances to practice my English speaking. So because of lack of practices, I really feel nervous when I was talking in English :p
