I need a quiet place.

Hot 3929 views. 2015-12-16 16:24 |Individual Classification:Catherine| through, office, minute, things, watch

Although I had no work to do this morning , I got to my work unit . I thought maybe my students would need my help . And Usually I find I can make full use of every minute when I sit in my office . But if I stay at home , I may watch TV , go through the information on Wechat or other things .While in the office ,  I like doing some reading , studying English and so on . Yet , the colleagues were so noisy that I couldn’t focus on what I wanted to do . They talked loudly about what they thought of some kind of film stars and their personal life affairs .They also liked to talk about what they liked and disliked about some person and the society . Time seems valueless to them . Oh , women ,would you keep your voice a little bit down ? Please . Maybe next time I should stay at home to do what I want .

You appear to be an elegant, quiet and practical person. Most men like your type of personality, so I believe you would have sufficient admirers. Dear, to be sociable, we have no choice but to be knowledgeable about what is going on around us, otherwise we would become a boring and socially detached person. Like it or not, you need somebody you can talk to or you would have to shoulder all your problems yourself. There is no need to be too resistant to social gossip as that is part of life. I understand that some of those talks are annoying, but that is part of life and you can't avoid it.

Take me for example, I am a British person born in HK China. It is through these talks that I understand that some families don't like their daughters to marry a foreigner because their image of a foreigner is they are unreliable, promiscuous and unable to maintain a long term relationship. Certainly, not all families have those kinds of negative impressions but I do need to know how people see me and be prepared for it. Nevertheless, I am not affected by these impressions as I do have tangible advantages over others and it is their loss to view me negatively. Right or not?

Take it easy dear, life is never perfect.

Actually in the office we can not find such a quiet place to read and learn. The best choice is to find a good one where is far away from the noisty city. So when I am free I will go to the somewhere very quiet so then I can learn, read, and rest well.

Yes , life can't always be like what we want . I should try to adjust myself to adapt to the surroundings .It's not others' fault to talk freely and loudly when they are free . It is a good way to relax themselves . What I need to do is to find my own quiet place if necessary .
It's patient and gentle of you to care about our daily problems and share your ideas . Thanks ! Sometimes I have a lot to say ,yet my poor English can't express myself well .  Finally , I can only  say thanks to you .  It seems that you are so close to us Chinese .

You are quite a curious and inquisitive girl, aren't you?       
You said your English is poor? What do you expect?
Come on girl, your English is good enough.

Actually, you may not know it, but I get a sense of connectivity and do learn a lot from the blogs which our friend write here. It is just like talking to friends who are walking the tough road of life together with me. I enjoy that kind companionship. I had a tough and and repressed past but somehow I managed to survive all those odds and came out in one piece with reasonable success. I myself received a lot of help from friends, so in turn I try to help others. I am not connected with the website owners in any way and I am not interested in that either. I just write and respond to blogs which are of interest. Yes, you are right, I am sort of a volunteer to help improve the English standard of friends here. I respond to blogs to show them how  to write properly and use suitable terms and words. To my surprise, a lot of writers here improved rapidly and could write on difficult topics proficiently. Well, there is no never ending party in this world and someday I may not be here, so meanwhile. hope our friends can make benefit the most while we can. Have a great time dear.

Actually, I have noticed you-Imnonarcissus, Teadrinking and a few others have been giving tangible advise to our friends here written in good clear English. I feel you are walking the same tough road of life together with me. We all benefit from these interactions so I hope you can keep it up. We all don't know what could happen tomorrow and a safe tomorrow is not guaranteed to anyone, so lets do the best we can today.
