My 3 Month Review

When I was going to write a story I thought in Chinese then translate to English 3 months ago and now I think I can think half of stories in English  and  half stories in Chinese in my mind. I should try to think , speak and write by English, to avoid chinglish . I should notice the pastime in sentences and make whole sentence even shorter to finish my stories. I try to make long sentence in my stories but I think I should write perfect sentence even it is very short. I’m going to Try to read books to improve my reading.  Watch tv dramas in English to increase words to improve my listening. Speaking is very difficult because I don’t use English after SE and I think I should make a English friend to speak with them.

My 3 Month Review

Three months ago when I was going to write a story I thought in Chinese then translated to English. Now I think I can write half of my stories in English  and half in Chinese in my head. I should try to think, speak and write in English, to avoid Chinglish . I should notice the pastime in sentences and make whole sentences even if they are shorter in my stories. I try to make long sentences in my stories but I think I should write perfect sentences even if they are simple they need to be easy to understand. I’m going to try to read English books to improve my reading. I’m going to watch English tv dramas to increase my vocabulary to improve my listening. Speaking is very difficult because I don’t use English outside of SE and I think I should make friends who speak English to help me.
