Hi
Mary,
Thank
you for writing to me and I will try to give you some ideas about improving your
written English. The bad news, of course, is that there is no1way
to do this. It takes work.
Improving your English, like getting better at anything else, means lots
of practice. I think you already know enough words and grammar in English to
make sentences and to understand English, and the problem you have is as the
problem all Chinese students have when they learn English. You go to English
class a couple of times a week and2of the time you speak Chinese. If
you come to Canada, your English would improve very quickly because you would
use it all day, every day. It's just practice.
To
improve your writing in English, you should do3things.
First, you should try to read English as much as possible. It doesn't matter
what you read, so you can pick something that interests you. Reading English
will show you how English words are used together, how English speakers express
themselves and so on, so you can learn a lot from that. Then you should
practise writing. Ask your teacher if you can get extra assignments and write
things like short stories. Your teacher can show you where you make mistakes and
how to4them.
You can also write more letters to English speakers on the Internet. I will be
happy to exchange letters with you if that will help. Don't worry if you make mistakes5that is how you learn.
You
say you cannot obey your plans. In English we say, "Plan the work, work
the plan." You need a plan and then you need to follow your plan to
improve.
I
hope these ideas are6. I wish you luck, and if you want to
write to me, I will be happy to try to help you. We can talk about China, about
Canada or anything else you like.
Best wishes!
Brad
