圣诞节快乐！我第一次帖子。

这是我第一次来这儿，请让我介绍一下自己。我已经在中国住了六年了、得到了中国的绿卡、已经定居了。为了找到新的工作我去年搬到北京了，不过那时候我没有成功。反而，我也开始更用功地学习中文学，甚至找到了一位私人导师帮助和鼓舞我。尽管我在中国花了很长时间，因为我总是忙于干活儿，我却没学会高级水平的中文，这样我错过了良好的机会，让自己相当失望。去年我开始较认真地学习，但是今年初因新冠疫情而封城时，大家最好少出门、少交际等等，所以我心里想着“算了”只呆在家里关注学习中文了。现在呢？尽管北京大约四月已经恢复了，我们随时可以出门，我照样努力地学习。此外，我出去能做什么？因此现在我还没有工作，我就在北京一直学习，而除了寂寞，今年是我一生中的最享受的时光之一。在我老师的指教下，我的中文水平比一年前高得多，不过还没完美。随着我中文水平的提高，我在中国的生活质量越来越好，而且因为我打算长期住在中国，所以我觉得最好我能流利地说中文，就像跟我周围的人一样。最后，虽然我不庆祝圣诞节，我却祝你们圣诞节快乐！节日愉快！

This is my first time here, so please let me introduce myself for a bit. I've lived in China for six years, have a Chinese green card, and have settled down. Last year, to search for a new job, I moved to Beijing, but at the time I was not successful. Instead, I started studiously studying Chinese, and even found a private tutor to help and encourage me. Despite spending a lot of time in China, because I was always busy with work, I never studied high-level Chinese, and having wasted this opportunity, I felt disappointed. Last year, I started seriously studying Chinese, but at the start of the year the epidemic led to the lockdown, and everyone should go out less, socialize less, and so on. So I though "bah" and just stayed home and concentrated on studying Chinese. Now? Despite Beijing recovering in around April, and we could go out as we pleased, I kept on diligently studying Chinese. Besides, what could I do if I went out? So now I still have no job, I've been studying continuously in Beijing and, except for loneliness, this has been one of the most enjoyable years of my life. With the help of my teacher, my Chinese level is much higher than a year ago, but it's still not perfect. As my Chinese level improves, my quality-of-life in China also improves, and furthermore because I plan to stay in China for a long time, I feel I should learn to speak fluent Chinese, just like the people around me. Finally, although I don't celebrate Christmas, I wish you a merry Christmas! Happy holidays!
