Less than one month remaining to entrance exam of colleges…

It's been a long time, and I believe you can't remember me.lol

Today, I took the last lesson of the course of my cram school, which I have been going since I entered my junior high school. In this course I faced a lot of English question, and I found out that I was really poor at English composition. I think I should take some measure to this. This is because I made up my mind to write this diary in English(But I'm not sure I will keep this diary…). So I think there are many grammatical,spelling and expression errors, and I'll appreciate it if you point out them.

After center-exam one of my friends told me to write your diary, and then I started an-hour-painting everyday to renew this site. But I'm sorry I have not finished it yet. Now I will write about the interesting story I heard in today's lesson.

Today I encountered a writing in my textbook which is concerned with language and our mind. It was interesting and especially the story of a language called Guugu Yimithirr was interesting and surprising for me.
When we want to inform the others that something exists, in our language we usually use a relative system (ex. "An apple is 'left' of a cup" or "My house is 'next to' the post office"). However,according to the writing, people who speak Guugu Yimithirr use a different way. They rely on the cardinal directions of north, south, east and west. If you are standing facing north then your right hand is the eastern hand, and if you are standing facing south then it is the western hand. And I'm writing this diary using my computer, which is northern corner of my room and on the western edge of my desk. This is so difficult for us, isn't it? Farther more they can use this way even if they are in unknown area. I thought it can't be true, but it's true.
