This is Zhenkang1's English learning footprint.
Until recently, I have not realized English is the window to the colorful world and I haven't totally open it. So, I decided to do something to re-understand the world.
In China, there are so many resources helping people to pass the IELTS2. Among them, excellent learning materials and methods are posted on the internet.
In the area of Artificial Intelligence, TRAINING may be one of the most famous and interesting. If you have enough DATA, you could train a perfect model by some advanced algorithms.
Therefore, I have chosen some learning materials(DATA) as input to train myself, to improve the Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking abilities. Similarly, words on this github page is the output of my brain model.
Small changes make a huge difference. To improve programming skills and seek employment in the future, I have been solving the LeetCode daily challenge. Similarly, I think it also helpful to practice English every day. So, the daily English studying is recorded here.
I stumbled upon the Vocabulary.com, which is a intelligent website to help to improve vocabulary.
Vocabulary.com combines the world's smartest dictionary with an adaptive learning game that will have you mastering new words in no time.

To achieve the goal above, I'd like to write something everyday. It may be a short story or a sparkle idea.
In Tsinghua, people focus on the story of an star professor or an excellent student, while a large number of those of the ordinary are ignored. Therefore, I have no choice but to put my story and idea here.
I'm born in a rural5 area of China, where I had a happy childhood. Working hard and showing perseverance in high school, I luckily had the access to almost the best tertiary education in China. Currently, I'm pursuing the Ph.D. degree in Tsinghua University, China.
A little bit unfortunately, to chase fame and fortune, my professor usually asks me to do many non-academic affairs and there is little academic guidance for me. In fact, the quality of academic guidance from professor does make a huge difference to postgraduates' academic performance and job prospects. It is a nightmare for me.
My time for study and research is fragmentary, which is the reason why you could see this page.
Low-cost university education makes it possible for students from less well-off backgrounds to have equal access to tertiary education. Online shopping has become a normal part of many students' everyday life.
There is good and bad in everything. However, I habitually think about the bad side of things.
However, our society is becoming highly competitive nowadays. The ageing population and soaring income gap make students feel under increasing pressure to study hard.
