回复 @leonhart：Hope the daily topic in English Club Bar could help you.

回复 @leonhart：To be honest I have once learnt German to a very high level and I can speak German as if I were half German native speaker. But I know deeply in my heart that I am still not German native speaker. There is always a gap between my level and native speaker level. And I am always unable to cross this gap. Now I have been back from Germany for many years and my German level has dropped significantly. I still don't know how to cross this gap

回复 @圆环之理：yeah that's also a problem that I have also encountered. From my perspective, it is not a must to cross this gap. There is no need to integrate into the group of native speakers. Just be yourself and enjoy your life. If your language skill is enough to deal with all daily things, then I think that's enough. As for me, if I go to the US I may still make friends with Chinese people (since I once tried to make friends with some white people and found it uncomfortable) . However if you really want to cross that gap, you may need an environment that everyone is using this language. This can be a tough problem and hope this will help you.

回复 @leonhart：In fact I have a question to you. When you are in the US, when at Halloween, will someone pretend to be a ghost and scare people (namely do ghost pranks) on the street?

回复 @圆环之理：that's a good question, but I cannot answer it since I only stayed there for half a year as an exchange student. Well I think people don't do such things. They will dress like ghost and attend party, but won't scare others (otherwise the ghost may be shot by the gun as it is common for an American to carry a gun).

回复 @leonhart：Thank you for your answering
