These days
Feb 04th 2010 05:58
These days, I have felt discomfort during English writing many times. Every time when I write English sentences, I feel, "Something's wrong with this sentence. It's totally different from what native speakers write," while I can never figure out what is wrong with it.
The more simpler I am trying to write, the more often I get stuck. Difficult words go far beyond my writing and speaking ability. If I use even a single word of them, the meaning go off my intension. The more bolder I try to become, the more I am afraid of making mistakes and said "it's nonsense." Even a most deliberate corrector are not enough kind to give me full of stories about my mistakes.
What I am scared of most is when the communication doesn't work how hard I try to convey what I want to say and quit. That's a seemingly everlasting embarrassment. I would even curse the my language inability and my cowardice. I blame even others and surroundings. It is a kind of what I hate most. I can't help it.
I'm weak. Why I am weak? Probably because I am still afraid of being told "you are fool," and I am scared of making friends, like a 6 years old boy.

Your sentence is correct, but this is better: These days, I've been frustrated while writing English.
Every time when I write English sentences, I think, "Something's wrong with this sentence.
It's totally different fromhow native speakers write,"but Ican never figure out what's wrong with it.
The more simpler I am trying to write, the more often I get stuck.
Difficult wordsare far beyond my writing and speaking ability.
If I use even one difficult word, my intended meaning is lost.
The more bolder I try to become, the more I am afraid of making mistakes and being told "it's nonsense." Even the most thorough correctors are not kind enough to give me full explinations of my mistakes.
What I am scared of most is that when I can't communicate what I want to say, I will give up.
This sentence is correct, but this is better: It seems I'll always have that to be embarrassed about.
I despise my language inability and cowardly nature.
I tried to show you how a native speaker would write with my corrections.
Let me know if you have any questions, I'd be happy to help you :]
It's okay to make mistakes! In fact, make lots of mistakes, it's fun! There is no need to be stressed out or embarrassed about it. The truth of the matter is, native speakers of a language study their own language their entire lives. All day long they are practising listening and speaking and reading and writing, and they don't even realize it! Whenyou study a language your input (reading, listening, watching television, etc.) needs to be 100x greater than your output (speaking, writing). The more "native" language you absorb, the more information you have to speak and write like a native. So just write the best you can, mistakes and all, and slowly over time it will improve!
I knew that you would kindly give me a good correction. I love your "This is natural."

Indeed, I know the theory. But I still can't stand in the embarrassment. Without you, foreign friends, I cant get by. You all are always truly generous and kind.
