It's so hard to tell how much I love this kind of weather.

I love the sky when the sun starts shining every early morning

I love the empty streets lined with yellow leaves. Also I'm so much into walking beside the windy lakeside, watching small boats go back and forth and breathing in all the flavor of autumn.

My friends are striving for scholarships to study abroad but I'm not. It's not that I'm not ambitious but that I'm quite enthusiastic about the peacefulness of this place. The cool breeze makes me feel as if time was ceasing. Maybe there are more beautiful places than this, yet living among people speaking my language is the most relieved

What's better if you could sit alone on the lakeside, listening to a ballad song from your mp3. 

 Just drink in all the beauty that life can bring before the autumn is gone

"you're being so mean these days" means "you keep behaving way so mean, which irritates me".

About my chinese, i'm gonna get back to it next month when I have gone through my IELTS exam. Recently, I'm working on some revision to be well-prepared.

 thank you Miss_eos. you mean "you're being so mean these days. " equals to "something happens repeatedly, making people irritated." or "you're always making the same mistake." ? do it? how about your chinese?

you're being so mean these days. => something happens repeatedly, making people irritated. Anther example: you're always making the same mistake. just like that.

this is the use of tense rather than the use of being. Because "be" is also a verb and it is influenced by the tense of the sentence in which it stands. You could also see things like:

I've been being crazy recently => the use of continuous perfect tense to express something which started in the past and is still happening at the moment.

The above are some sharing.hope it can help :D

u r welcome. hehe

I think my hobbies are listening to music and studying language. I often start a day with some music, and then go on to study English because of my incoming exam next month. I plan to get down to Chinese as soon as I'm over with this English exam. And at that point, i may have to bother you a lot :D
