Is this a good way to improve English writing I knew a way to practice English writing is : find a article which has English and Chinese version, try to translate the article from Chinese to English without taking the English version as reference. After the own translation work, compare the English one and see the error, fault and inaccuracy. If so, could you recommend some materials for me as an intermediate level?

Is this a good way to improve English writing

I know a way to practice English writing is to find an article which has an English and Chinese version, try to translate the article from Chinese to English without using the English version as a reference. After your own translation work, compare  it to theEnglish one and see the errors, faults and inaccuracies.

If so, could you recommend some materials for me as an intermediate level?


Hello Jian, 

I think this is a good idea because by using translation you get to see the differences between the 2 languages and gives you a greater understanding of the structure of the language you are trying to learn.

I don't know of any sites which offer this but I did find this site but you will need to visit a second site to get the Chinese version.
