Chinglish or native English,that is a question
When I started to learn English,my abecedarian told me that we must try our best to be native.I was doubted,because we have British English,American English, Australian English and so on,why couldn't we have Chinese English,also called Chinglish,as well?Then I realized that Chinese English is not correct English.For instance,“good good study,day day up” we mean “study hard and make progress everyday”.Along with the time goes by,I studied English for about 4 yeas.I gradually figured out the principle of leaning English.As a language learner,we have to obey the rules which language creator had made in that this is the what foreigner speak.Then I will show you some comparative examples and please help me to judge if they are Chinglish.

When I started to learn English, my abecedarian told me that we must try our best to be native.
I have to ask... what is an abecedarian?
I was doubtful, because we have British English, American English, Australian English and so on, why couldn't we have Chinese English, also called Chinglish, as well? Then I realized that Chinese English is not correct English.
For instance, by “good good study, day day up” we mean “study hard and make progress everyday”.
The pattern is usually "by (A) we mean (B)"
Time went by as I studied English for about 4 years.
I gradually figured out the principle of learning English.
As a language learner, we have to obey the rules that the language creator had made because this is how foreigners speak.
Then I will show you some comparative examples. and Please help me to judge if they are Chinglish.

If you say "A because B", then usually "B" caused "A".
If you say "A in that B", then usually "B" is a more specific way of saying "A".
E.g.:
The test was hard because I didn't study.
(This is a simple cause-effect relationship).
The test was hard in that it could not be done without studying.
(This is explaining what was meant by "hard").
