The notice is not posted till last week, which should be 2-3 months earlier. Do you know why? Because they try to lure people into extending membership as much as possible. I still remember the site manager trying so excessively hard to persuade me to extend it another year, with a good discount. As a resident here for decades, the scam detector in my brain is alarming as he was trying too hard. "It's just feeling not right" Says my brain. Even though it's a chain brand that I can keep using existing membership in another site 3km away, the way they opearte this brand is just neither honest, nor decent. So the tip is, do not buy long term service, better just pay it monthly. **Language**: English *7 likes · 2 comments · 68 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/MzSwIyTTRFnNHD.md) --- ## 2. 8/27/2025 Hi, I need some help. Where can I find Russian voice movies or series with dual subtitles (English/Chinese + Russian). Anyone know such websites? Тhank you! Привет, мне нужна помощь. Где найти русские фильмы или сериалы с двойными субтитрами (английский/китайский + русский). Кто-нибудь знает такие сайты?

I got a score of 8.5 9 6 7.5 in listening, reading, writing and speaking and got a grade of C1. My strength isn’t in writing. I have been learning Russian for 5 months, but not any exams taken. Yesterday I decided to take a self-test from ESL (institute which offers IELTS tests). It says that now I have an approximately B1 level of Russian (I don't believe it yet), but that obviously makes me happy. Четыре года назад я сдавал тест IELTS, чтобы подготовиться к обучению в Соединенных Штатах. Я набрал 8,5 9 6 7,5 баллов по аудированию, чтению, письму и говорению и получил оценку C1. Моя сила не в писательстве. Я учу русский язык уже 5 месяцев, но никаких экзаменов не сдавал. Вчера я решил пройти самотестирование от ESL (институт, который предлагает тесты IELTS). Там написано, что сейчас у меня примерно уровень B1 по русскому языку (я пока в это не верю), но это, очевидно, меня радует. **Language**: ZH *13 likes · 2 comments · 302 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/NNWEujNbSUXNHD.md) --- ## 6. 8/21/2025 学习俄语的时候，我尝试对照着英语的语法结构，找到句子里的主语、谓语、直接/间接宾语、定语… 但他们不完全一样 When I learn Russian language, I’m comparing it to English. However, the construction of a sentence is not made by each specific components, but rather by the variation of cases. Когда я изучаю русский язык, я сравниваю его с английским. Однако построение предложения производится не по каждому конкретному компоненту, а скорее по вариации падежей. Here is an example： Этот человек объясняет нам дорогу к кафе This person explains to us the path towards cafe 这个人 解释 向我们 通往餐厅的路 Here the indirect objective нам (to us) is defined by дательный падеж (Dative case 与格） form of мы While the direct object дорогу винительный падеж （Accusative case 宾格） **Language**: ZH *21 likes · 282 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/qxMyVLIjN4TNHD.md) --- ## 7. 8/20/2025 反身动词，及物动词，宾格 I learned the concept of reflexive verbs and transitive verbs. Transitivity also exists in English while reflexive is a new concept. Сегодня я узнал концепцию возвратных глаголов и переходных глаголов. Транзитивность проста, потому что в английском языке то же самое, в следующих существительных используется винительный падеж. В то время как возвратные глаголы – это интересное и новое понятие. **Language**: ZH *15 likes · 2 comments · 310 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/IcyGRRMzNkTNHD.md) --- ## 8. 8/18/2025 苏州河人像风景 Shanghai Suzhou Creek photo shoot Photographer & today’s model Sabrina holds a Fuji Film **Language**: ZH *44 likes · 484 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/OLu0pGnQAvyjHD.md) --- ## 9. 8/15/2025 Sichuan dish, savorily spicy.
