I went to a Thanksgiving party with my classmates yesterday..

Where is my swimming glasses? I lost it in the swimming pool yesterday. I found my swimming glasses in the school bus today, but I lost my swimming  hat in the swimming pool..

游泳眼镜叫goggle，游泳帽可以叫hat 没错，游泳衣叫swimming suit 或者swimming gear swimming gear 也可以指所有的游泳装备

游泳帽是不是叫Swimming cap 更合适啊？.

外国人说这个的时候不严格，但是说 hat 的人多。.

  我就是查字典， 是Cap.

不过我也觉得用hat , 记得Cap 是那种前面升出来帽舌的。.

I was very busy yesterday..

We made a robot crocodile yesterday. It can bite you if you put your finger inside it's mouth. My classmtes are I are very interestesd in this activity.

总的看下来，Andy写英语的精神可嘉，但确实需要增强 1.阅读所带来的英语思维和语感  2.针对性的写作指导
如果有以上两点英语的写句，写作才会进步。
英语思维和中文差很远的，一般的作文一看就能辨别。对与不对就在思维里，而非语法或字词里。
Andy得写作热情值得表扬，

Totally agree with you!

But I don't know how to help him.

He does read some originaledition, but I know that's not enough..

I am thinking to help him find a pen pal of the same age from native English speaking country.

Maybe that will help.

But maybe it's hard to find out suitable one..

现在的水平，就是有笔友也比较难持续。国外一般水平的二年级孩子的作文已经很不错了，虽然会有拼写错误。三年级有的孩子已经读哈里波特，甚至Twilight了。

不要急于先和别人交流，要趁年龄还小先增加阅读量，到中学时就自然能和同龄人有话讲了。因为外国孩子也不一定有耐心，看到你写的说的不明白，是不会和你多交流的。还有，国内孩子的接触面和他们不一样，关注的事情也不同，所以共同语言要慢慢培养。我女儿说：至少要经历过，才能在那个圈子里有发言资格，否则人家直接忽略你，他们都很现实的。.

先增加阅读量！

I have suggest he spend less time on writing and spend more time on reading.

He said he only spend 1 minute on wrinting one short sentence, so he will continue...................

The sentence when corrected should look like this:

My elder sister got the flu last weekend..

I caught cold last night. And I'm coughing now..

I caught cold last night. And I'm coughing now.

This one is a little different because I believe in British common useage "I cought cold" would be correct, in American english common useage it would more correctly be " I caught a cold last night."

If you're going to use "and" it should probably be all one sentence. (I know there are cases when starting a sentence with "and" is acceptable, but I just don't like it stylistically.)

So it should either be:

"I caught a cold last night and now I am coughing."

Or

"I caught a cold last night. Now I am coughing." (or "I am coughing now." is fine too).

No coughing today. I'm almost recovered.

"No coughing today." isn't a sentence just a fragment.

To be a sentence, it needs to be something like:
"I'm not coughing today."
I also think the useage of recovered in that context is a little off (not necessarily wrong, just a little awkward. It might be better with "I have almost recovered." or "I am almost well.".

My elder sister has recovered. She will go to school tomorrow.

Perfectly fine sentences (other than the spelling os "Sister" that's probably just a typo.

The use of "elder" while correct, is pretty formal in American english (it's probably pretty common in British english) In america, we'd probably say "older" more often..

I won 4 chess games today..

I made a box of chocolates with my classmates this afternoon. They are very delicious. I love them..

加油加油！

今天路上坐公交的时候，车身因为路上施工的关系严重震了一下，Wini顺口对我说：
The bus system is really not reliable!

有次爷爷奶奶和她开玩笑地说：今后要不要去国外读书啊？她摇头随口回答：
I don't want to go abroad.  Otherwise, I'll forget my language, my country and my culture.


Andy平时除了每天坚持写有没多多开口呢？最好双管齐下哦！.

4 should be spelt out as "four". Any number below "10" should be the word (ec. 1 should be One, 2 should be two, and so on)..

Wini is really great!

Andy he like to speak English in daily life. But due to my problem, I can't help to much. That's a pity.

We will try more!.

Both my younger sister and I like jumping on Mom's bed. It's just like a bounding table. We love this activity.

In England we would say, We are very happy today, because all the students in our school went to the Ocean Aquarium this afternoon..

We have lots of homework today.

Someone correct me if I speak out of turn, but I think this is the wrong preposition for any english dialect. It should be "for" winter holiday. Again, in the US we'd more likely say "for winter vacation."

We don't go "on holiday" we go "on vacation" and we celebrate a holiday, but going on hoilday is perfectly fine in British useage..

This one crosses some cultural lines again.

One quarter of the teachers are available today (at least need a verb in that sentence) The others went to (the) hospital for physical checks.

In the US we go to "a' hospital or "the" hospital, I realize it's not the same in other parts of the english speaking world. The physical chekcs either needs to be plural or have an indefinite article. I chose the plural route since we're talking about plural teachers. One could argue that the others individually went for "a" physical check and I don't think that'd be wrong either..

佩服的， 怎么教会孩子说一些比较抽象的词语是我的困惑， 比如胶水橡皮他们很容易会， 比如，system就比较难教给他了。
你们平时在家怎么教口语的？ 来分享下经验吧！多谢！.

在我看来,Andy就已经写的很好很好了。 .

小车子才6、7岁，还小吧，看他写的每日一句不错啊！受年龄限制是个不可避免的问题。其实我也常困惑的，不过总相信基础知识累积到一定程度总会有反馈有输出的吧。

家里就教材教的，书上每个角落都不放过；单词都要求的，只是有的认知即可，有的需要背熟及运用；尽量补充一些近义词、反义词；尽量用英语解释英语单词、词组或句子。另外，尽量鼓励她在日常生活中脱离书本讲英语（目前她远远不够）；读原版简版小说给她听，语速不能放慢，不懂的用她知道的语句或单词复述给她听。目前为止仅此而已。看到很多有经验的妈妈介绍大量阅读和看原版片的，Wini7岁多点目前还不行，年龄上去基础扎实了再说吧。.
