What is easy to do? What is hard to do? For me - it is hard to learn Katakana It is easy to learn Hiragana and Kanji 多分… Mark 先生の日本語は分かりにくいです🙃 Teacher Mark’s Japanese is hard to understand **Language**: Japanese **Voice**: [Listen to recording](https://eu-ht.oss-eu-central-1.aliyuncs.com/mvo/eu-ht/210825/9125788_a7e53a053af3aac352359f70b09eed41.hac) *903 likes · 50 comments · 3158 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/IkLTXNubR5NNDD.md) --- ## 4. 12/25/2019 My first Christmas away from home. What can I say? I'm blessed to be surrounded by people in the same position as me, these guys and girls have come to mean so much to me. Merry Christmas to you all😄 **Language**: English *86 likes · 6 comments · 1 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/ORtFxHEmDIuSZD.md) --- ## 5. 11/15/2019 今天的问题：on the bed, in bed, in the bed On the bed 是指你在被子上盖着被子，玩电脑，玩手机等 'A child is jumping on the bed' In the bed 在床上，被子下，'the' 给我的感觉是你想强调这张床. 'I was in the bed, as it broke' In bed 是指你等一下想睡了，或者你刚睡醒了，还没醒来了。 'I don't want to go out drinking, I'm already in bed' 这样理解清楚吗？ **Language**: ZH-CN **Voice**: [Listen to recording](https://sz-ht.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/mvo/sz-ht/20191115/9125788_bc6e967f74f0b6b53628604302eea433.aac) *59 likes · 12 comments · 3 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/uRHVTGRIxtxIZD.md) --- ## 6. 11/5/2019 今天的问题： pursue 和 chase 的区别 普通的翻译：追求，追寻，追捕 都代表有什么还不能得到的东西，或者人。 pursue 也代表追这个东西，做法有次序，做法不是随便的。chase 的做法比较乱，没有规划，文明。 例子： (pursue) I'd like to pursue a career in teaching 这样写代表我想好好做每一步才成为一位老师 The police will continue to pursue the criminal 这样写代表警察很懂怎么追寻罪犯，不是乱七八糟 例子： (chase) The lion chases the zebra 是自然的感觉，像动物一样 He's 11 years old, of course he's going to chase girls. 也是自然的感觉，没有办法不追 Sometimes It's difficult, sometimes It's easy. Sometimes you have to wait, sometimes you get it straight away. And Sometimes you get it, But Don't want it any longer. Because you're already off *chasing* some other dream in this '*pursuit* of happiness' world. **Language**: ZH-CN **Voice**: [Listen to recording](https://sz-ht.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/mvo/sz-ht/2019115/9125788_5d3eae1eef623e68e0eed18199d608d1.aac) *61 likes · 11 comments · 4 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/ROWFAHOIAQRIZD.md) --- ## 7. 10/29/2019 Today's conference was based around education and how we can see education from different perspectives. This is an area I'm particularly interested in. 我们学校今天有国际教育的活动，题目包括：西方和东方教育系统的区别，少数民族高考加分制，以及儿童语言习得。 **Language**: English *62 likes · 10 comments* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/vRJSNxvVTFLSZD.md) --- ## 8. 10/21/2019 今天的问题： You can leave now 和 You may leave now 有什么区别？ 两个有一样的位置的人之间可以用 'you can'，而且关于机会的句子应该使用 'you can'。 老师，父母，有比你高的位置的人可以说 'you may'，而且关于这些人让你做什么东西也要使用 'you may'。 如：朋友提工作的机会 Friend: You can (have the opportunity) earn a lot of money. 如：临考试的时候。 Teacher: You may begin the exam. **Language**: ZH-CN **Voice**: [Listen to recording](https://sz-ht.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/mvo/sz-ht/20191021/9125788_1d0036202580b9c56d722b7199564b0b.aac) *66 likes · 10 comments · 5 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/tWOmqlMGDRNSZD.md) --- ## 9. 10/1/2019 Let me share a story.
