To myself Nothing is impossible! Believe in yourself! From now on! NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE! FROM NOW ON!

Part 3 l don't know there are many impolite expressions when l speak English until l read this article. After reading the article, l have many thoughts and feelings. ln fact, most Chinese are polite and want to be friendly to foreigners. However, as they don't know much about English and western culture, they speak English in the way of Chinese thinking pattern. Much of the time chinese try to be polite to foreigners but foreigners think them impolite and Chinese don't know that. l hope foreigners can understand and forgive Chinese. They don't mean to offend you. At the same time, l hope we Chinese can have a good command of English and know more about western culture in order to avoid misunderstandings. What's more, if there are some impolite expressions in my sentences, help me with pointing them out, please. Thank you very much!

Part 2 We chinese can sum up some skills to make us polite when speaking English. Firstly, westerners always use modal verbs in conversations, such as can, could, may, might, would. What's more they always use subjunctive mood, such as would (had) rather, would (had) sooner, would (just) as soon. Besides, they often place "please" on the end of the sentence instead of the beginning. ("请 (please)" is always placed on the beginning of chinese sentences). For example, when asking somebody for doing something, we chinese will say, "请在周一前给我回复，谢谢！" When the sentence is translated literally into English, it is "Please reply to me by Monday. Thank you!" Chinese think it sounds polite. However, native English speakers don't think so as they feel you order them. It would be better, if you say, "Could you please reply to me by Monday? Thank you." lf you are afraid it appears impolite when using declarative sentences, you would better use as many questions, negative sentences, subordinate clauses as you can to guard against subjectivism and arbitrariness. Also, you should place others on the centrality in conversations and always appreciate others, making ourselves modest and small. Still, we should say, "Thank you." in the end of sentences. ln fact, this polite expression comes from ancient China and it also is the common between China and the West.

Part 1 As my essay is so long that there isn't enough room for it to be placed, l have to divide it to three parts. This is a Chinese article that l ever read. l think it is a good article. So l translated some of its content into English. Could you please help me revise my essay? Thank you! Why do native English speakers think chinese are impolite when they communicate with chinese in English? English in China is world-famous for Chinglish. The biggest problem about English pronunciation is that there is no continuation. However, all above are not the mainest problem of language. What foreigners always talk about is that it sounds impolite when chinese speak English. As a matter of fact, it is not chinese themselves are impolite, but they are not used to or don't know the polite way to express themselves in English. For example, when in restaurants or coffee shops, chinese will say, "l want to have a hamburger." or "l want to have a coffee." Native English speakers think it is impolite of chinese to say so. Of course, foreigners will not tell you the fact.But when these sentences are translated literally into chinese from English, it is polite in China. So chinese think they are polite if they say so. While in the West, the locals will say, "Could l have a hamburger please?" or "Can l have a coffee, please?". For another example, when refusing an invitation to a luncheon or a dinner, chinese will say, "sorry, l can't. l have another appointment." If you say so, people would not invite you for the second time. Facing this situation, locals will say, "That's a good idea! l would like to join in but l have another appointment today."

My hometown and childhood:Part 2 There were much fun in the summer evening. At the time many people came out from their homes to enjoy the cool and the starry sky, to chat with others with them sitting in their rocking-chairs and waving their fans leisurely. A lot of children then went to my father to listen to him to tell stories. My father knew many fairy tales that many people had not ever heard. My father was such an interesting people that children were willing to play with him. l have a friend called Jia who was my neighbor and is as old as me but moved house several years ago. l still remember that when we were eight, l once waited for him to go to school together. But l waited for so long time because of his dealing with something that it was hard for us to get to school on time. Both of us were afraid of being late. Jia suddenly came up with an idea that l cycled to school with him sitting on the back of the bicycle. We usually walked to our school and there was a fact that l knew how to cycle but he didn't. However, l had never cycled with someone sitting on the back of my bike. After l told him my worry, he said it was nothing and let me be relaxed. l had to have a try with there was not any other better solutions. Things seemed to go well in the beginning. However, my bike became increasingly shaky. At the end, we fell off the bike. l was OK because l fell on to a pile of straw. However, the goddess of fortune overlooked Jia who fell into the ditch. Although there was no water in it, it was full of mud. l ran to help him. At last he was free from the ditch. Watching him with mud on his clothes, l was very sorry for this consequence and made an apologize to him. With a big smile, he said,"lt is nothing.l am fine". But after a while, he started to cry, which made me bewildered. Later he laughed again, which really puzzled me. l had no idea what the matter with him was. What l only knew was that we were late for school. Thinking back, l find it really interesting. There are many interesting things happening every day in my childhood. As l study in other place most of the time, l am seldom at home now. As for my childhood playmates, they have been of age. Some of them have got married. Some of them have moved house. With time going by, those memories not only don't disappear, but also become more valuable.

My hometown and childhood: Part 1 My hometown is in Jingzhou in southern Hubei, located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River on the Jianghan Plain. lt is identified as National Historical and cultural city. Jingzhou, a cultural ancient city, has 2000 years history, which is full of stories of three kingdoms. My hometown is in a small town in the city which is common in many people's eyes but it is special in my eyes. lt is because of those people, scenes, emotion and memories existing here and that l spent my wonderful childhood here. When it comes to my childhood, happiness is full of my heart. There were many children in the town but all of them were boys except Dong and me. When playing games, they were all boys except me as Dong was fond of playing with Barbie dolls disliking playing games that boys enjoyed. Many children liked to come to my home to play with me every day. There were many interesting games we could play, such as rubber band skipping, playing marbles, playing at hide and seek and so on. Many games don't exist in many western countries and l don't know their English name. l still remember that every time when playing at hide and seek, l always left myself in a sack that was used to be filled by the cotton. To my pleasure, l had never been discovered. l didn't tell anyone where l was hided because if l told them, l would lose a good place which could make me succeed in this game. What a smart girl!
