Writing practice Since I came to China, plenty of time has passed me by. Since then, I have zoomed in on learning Chinese and there has been few chances to speak in English. it has been a while to write something down in English so writing in English is pretty akward and I forgot tons of words. Yesterday, I met a friend from USA. His Chinese is not strong enough to have a conversation, we talked in English. But when I talked to him, I was so confuesed about English, even when I tried to speak easy words, I had a trouble on making a perfect sentence that I could speak perfectly a few months ago. It embarrasses me. Because I had not thought that it would take not that much time to forget what I studied. The prime problem is that when something I want to speak flash upon my mind, my head goed blank and nothing in English comes up. Instead, Chinese words come to my mind. So While I speak English, Whithout realizing it, I blurt out Chinese words. I think it is because that recently I use Chinese more that English, though when I only learned English, no matter how difficult and uncomfortable, I had never used Korean while Speaking. And though lots of parts of grammar between English and Chinese are more similar than between Korean and Chinese, because more than 70% of Korean words comes from Chinese, when is comes to words, Korean and Chinese are linked strongly and it may cause the problem. I feel that whatever I am familiar with, a great wall comes between mother tongue and foreign language. So to come over it, there is a only way to practice. I know that sort of writing is so boring to read but at the end of the writing, I can feel it has definitely become easier.
