Hello everyone！I'm coming. Some people say: "When you learn English, output is more important than input. So in order to learn English more better, I decided to translate one of my favorite novels into English. This is a very romantic fairy tale, I hope you will love it. Now, here we go!Lian Zaoyu runs a small jade shop which is only a space of 9 square meters, but it sells unusual trinkets: life-like green jade butterflies, jet black agate pendants, emerald Chinese zodiacs and so on.
Lian Zaoyu is an orphan. Her parents died in a great earthquake when she was two years old, so she grew up in an orphanage. Ten years ago she was looking for an adventure, she met up with a jade master, and then she became the master's pupil. When her master died, she inherited some precious jade.
Jade is different from gold. There is no big buyer, unless the jade is very fine. Therefore, her shop is penny-ante and she struggles to make both ends meet.
Luckily Lian Zaoyu doesn't have any ambitions, so she has a well-regulated lifestyle and feels very happy.

Good effort, your story is very interesting. Let me just give you a few tips:
1. Remember to use capital letters at the beginning of a sentence, and for names/titles.
2. Always use a space after you insert a full-stop or comma.
3. Use "an" if the word after it begins with a vowel (,a,e,i,o,u).

Hi, steve. Thank you for your opinion. I’m not saying input isn’t important. If we don’t have input ,It’s like fetching water from a dry well. When I learned a new word or phase, the most efficient way for me to learn it was to use it. Just like this article I wrote ,someone helped me to correct it and gave me some very useful tips. I’m impressed. And we can share ideas as now. I think maybe that’s why this Notebook is designed.

Input and output are equally important. Input is for learning; output is for fluency. Focusing solely on output makes a student-of-English fluent at something, but that thing is not English. Study a bit, write a bit, get it corrected, once you're no longer making errors then write a lot. That's the formula for learning and fluency. Pitting input and output against one another like adversaries is the wrong mental model IMO. :)
