This is my first time to join the club. There were three parts in today‘s activity. Guests‘ Sharing, Members‘ Speeches and Table Topics.

In fact, as a guest, I made a statement only in Guests‘ Sharing and Table Topics.

Guests‘ Sharing

Although Ah-Counter told me that I only had one time Ah, I spoke a little. I found that when I said ‘I study computer technology‘, actually what I wanted to express was that ‘I major in Software Engineering‘. I only spoke five sentences, ending with ‘Thanks‘.

Table Topics

The question that I answered was that ‘Who do you want to thank during your chasing dreams?‘ I received too many mistakes from our earnest grammarian:

a) I‘m pleasure to.......................................I‘m pleased to

b) I‘m also come from....................................I also come from

c) one person to thank you...............................one person to thank

d) When I come back from Beijing.........................When I came back from Beijing

e) spend some time on doing..............................spend some time doing

f) Chinglish

g) Listen to BBC/VOA

Conclusions

Now I couldn‘t get every word that members spoke, but I caught the general meaning. I found that my words and phrases are so poor, which made my statements fractured and short. What I am preparing for IELTS is reciting words and practicing listening, ensuring the learning time not less that 6 hours per day.
