Unshakable belief.

Without noticing,my nine days holidays was over.Damn fast!

Tomorrow morning I have to get up early and go to work.I don't know whether I can get along with my new colleagues or not.I knew that there are surely countless uncertainties awaited for me:new working environment,new faces,new policies,and new challenges.

Life is a trial to every human being,so do I.Fighting hardships alone in my life wasn't an easy job after all.I have shed my tears silently in a secret corner where people can't see me.Nobody ever knew that I'd had a extremely fragile and breakable heart underneath my ostensibly optimistic appearance.With the hope within my heart,I started seeking help earnestly from the God.I've tried and tried to connect with the God even if people laughing at me and thinking I was a freak.

Finally,my efforts was paid off.One day,I heard the sound from the Almighty God.He whispered and led me to his route,using his omnipotent power to solve my problems.I thought I was indeed blessed.Then,I told my friends about my heavenly experiences hoping them could share my joys. Only a few of my friends believed in my heavenly experiences.Most of them thought I was superstitious and crazy.Never mind,to believe or not to believe is their problem.They could have lost the most precious opportunities to exploring the secret of life and afterlife.

No matter how people look at me,my unshakable belief to the God will not be changed.

有时总觉得工作时间太长，休息和学习时间太短。
因此我特别珍惜任何可以学习英文的时间和机会。比如说在等地铁和巴士时，走路回家路途中。
我相信一天付出一点努力，在不久的将来必定能有美好的收获。
最重要的是持之以恒。

在学术和语文的进步，让我平凡无趣的人生更加富有意义。
在学习英文这方面的进步和突破让我在精神层次方面有更好的满足感。
我不认同人生活在世上，就只是为了努力赚钱然后享受物质生活，以为这就是一切，而忽略了其他方面的学习和发展。
因为掌握了新的语言，我们能够更加好的去学习，认识，把握别的民族的文化和生活的美。
以上只是我自己个人的观点。

Finally,my efforts was paid off.

楼主，请问一下，“effort” 这个字有分 singular 跟 plural 吗？

nick666666

effort的确是可数和不可数名词。
【U】（不可数）时，effort的意思是（做某事使用的）力量和精力。给你个例句：They lifted the heavy rock without effort.他们没费劲就把石头抬起来了。
【C】（可数）时，是指努力，奋斗。 例句：His efforts was much appreciated.大家都夸他很努力。
如你的第一句中，她芭蕾舞联系很努力，花费了很多精力。这时就是不可数名词，指（做某事使用的）力量和精力。
第二句则是由于她在这个领域里的奋斗给她赢得了许多奖项同时也获得了大家的尊重。

明白了吗？

老师你好，刚刚我又胡乱写了一篇博客，帮帮我看看那里要改吧。

People said...


The architect said,"Everything you could see is constructed by spaces and materials."
The policeman said."Everything you could see  is a very important evidence to us."
The prophet said,"Everything you could see  is a bad omen of doomsday."
The communist said,"Everything you could see  is belonged to our country."  
The doctor said,"Everything you could see  is only a symptom of a cold."
The actor said,"Everything you could see  is a performance in disguise."
The genius said,"Everything you could see  is none of my business."
The missionary said,"Everything you could see  is created by God."
The artist said,"Everything you could see  is painted by my heart."  
The poet said,"Whatever you see is an inspiration from nature."  
The Buddha said,"Everything you could see  is merely an illusion."
The salesman said,"Everything you could see  is value of money."
The scientist said,"Everything you could see  is formed by atom."
The teacher said,"Everything you could see  is a word of wisdom."

The youth said,"Everything you could see  is ruled by us."
The idiot said,"Everything you could see  is full of shits."

I  said,"Everything you could see  is only a state of my mind."

Don't you agree with me?

我挑一些来讨论......

Everything you could see

为什么不说 Everything you see？

The architect said

为什么用指定的人 the architect？还有为什么用过去式 said ？

is constructed by spaces and materials

如果你说 "xxx is made by yyy": xxx是yyy制造的； “xxx is made of yyy": xxx 是用yyy制成的。空间和原料不可能会制造东西吧？所以应该是 constructed of : The walls are constructed of concrete. 此外还似乎存有逻辑上的问题，空间算是制造房子的材料吗？为了避免这些引起争议性的问题，或许可以考虑 consists of... 这只是我的个人意见。还有，space 如有“空间”的定义，是个不可数名词。

is belonged to

xxx属于我：xxx belong/belongs/belonged to me; is belonged to = 被属于，不通。

formed by atom

一个原子组成的？如果是也该说 an atom，因为atom是单数名词；当然合理的应该是 atoms。

full of shits

这里的shit应该是不可数名词吧？但不同定义的shit可以是可数名词。

"Everything you could see  is only a state of my mind."

捉不到逻辑......哈哈

这种态度才是学习的关键，很多人火候不到已经开始自满了。

Coffee is my ecstasy,honesty is my policy and book is my legacy.


FYI:A few days ago,I had caught a very serious cold ; my body ached all over.Feeling numb and drowsy,I was unable to focus my attention on my work.My brain seemed to have malfunctioned and consequently I can't manage to achieving the sales target expected by my company.

Today is my off-day and it supposed to be an extremely productive day to me.But it isn't.After I woke up early in the morning,thinking that should I spend my time on writing some articles, doing some house chores and drawing comics.It turned out that I was totally surrendered by my drowsiness, falling asleep again.

Finally I woke up around 3.With the help of the icy coldness of tap water,I felt myself refreshing and reviving.I quickly dressed up and went out for lunch.A cup of hot coffee would be the best medicine for me to cure my illness and cheer me up.In my life,there all three very important things to me-- drinking coffee,being honest and reading book.And I come up with such a slogan as below: Coffee is my ecstasy,honesty is my policy and book is my legacy.

Whenever I feel sleepy I drink coffee,whenever I tell a lie I hate myself and whenever I get my paid I buy books.It might sound strange and funny to people who don't know me well.However, my close friends knew that I can't control myself for buying books,quit drinking coffee and telling the truth.In order to survive in sales line,a good sales man in this century have to tell a lie to his customer very often just to close the deal successfully.It is very obvious that a deceitful sales person can contribute more sales figure to the company than a honest sales person.Unluckily,I am the latter one.

Lately I have pondered long and deeply whether should I change a job.The answer is already floating on my mind now.I want a change...
老师，好久不见。我最近生病了，所以脑袋空白不能运作。现在病好了。写了新的文章，请老师帮忙改正错误的地方。也只有你比较细心。这里先谢谢你了。
我最近在筹备一个搞笑的中英文漫画博客，是用日记的形式写的，加上我的漫画插图。目前还在努力备存稿。迟一点，会第一时间让老师过目。我因为英文差所以写英文博客锻炼文笔，找寻自己的错误，也要靠老师指导。中文的漫画博客，是要把自己的观点用写的，画的呈现出来。

你的标点符号问题似乎还在原地踏步，没纠正过来，所以说学习语言最大的问题还是错误的习惯带来的障碍限制了前进的空间。
太长了，我恐怕无法抽出那么多时间......
如果要认真写书、博客或漫画集，我认为还是以自己擅长的语言来写比较恰当。

Today is my off-day

新加坡人都这么说的吗？
off day 和 day off 意思并不相同。
休假：take/have a day off; take/have a few days off
Today is my day off.
如果说 off day，这里的 off 应该是形容词，有“失水准，表现比平时差”的含义，例句：
I'm having an off day today - I just can't seem to do anything right!
Brian never usually loses his temper - he must be having an off day.

（Wiktionary 接受 off day 是休假的定义）
