First Notebook - Decide to write To improve my English, today I decide to write small compositions and post them on italki in the next several months. Maybe it will be better to write without any translation tools for showing my real writing level . Hope I can make it. I read some articles on QUORA about the mistakes Chinese often make when writing and speaking. Some mistakes are very funny but I also find there are so much incorrect expressions I also used and didn't realize at all. I was surprised when I find the sentences are wrong. I still remember someone has said"forget the language you have mastered, don't try to translate one language to another. Just to study as a child, imitation, repeat, and master". I think he is right but isn't so difficult to forget something in my mind for more than 20 years.
