A Discussion About Subjects.
I have noticed that when native English speakers correct my writings they always put subjects where I omitted subjects. I also get confused because, based on the context, everybody will know what the subjects are. Why should we always put subjects? Don't you think they are so redundant? To be honest, I think every Chinese can easily understand all the example texts without any confusion. So I think cultures can be mixed unless they have very different meanings. Right now, I suddenly remember a famous saying from a famous Chinese writer, Luxun. The saying's English meaning maybe that there were no roads in this world at the very beginning, but with so many people walking, roads appeared. This paragraph doesn't mean any offensive, it's just my personal view about this issue, although it is not necessarily correct, but I think showing one's opposite points is also a kind of learning about different cultures.
<p>A native English speaker told us that Chinese people tend to omit subjects when they are writing, so I explained my opinions about this issue.</p>
A Discussion About Subjects.Personal Pronouns
I have noticed that when native English speakers correct my writings they always put subjectpersonal pronouns where I omitted subjectsthem.
I also get confused because, based on the context, everybody will know what the subjects are.
Why should we always putspecify subjects?
"put" seems a bit general and doesn't sound natural here.
Don't you think they a're soquite redundant?
Since you contracted "do not" to "don't earlier, doing the same with "they're" would make sense.
To be honest, I think every Chinese person can easily understand all the example texts they are shown without any confusion.
1. Note: Saying things like "Every [Adjective]", like "Every Chinese", "Every Black", or "Every Japanese", using an adjective as a noun, is actually *sometimes* seen as rude, so I'd recommend using "person" afterwards.
2. It makes more sense here to specify *which* example texts.
So I think cultures can be mixed unless they have very different meanings.
I don't really understand this sentence.
Right now, I suddenly remember a famous saying from a famous Chinese writer, Luxun.
The saying's English meaning maybe that tay be translated into English as: "There were no roads in this world at the very beginning, but with so many people walking, roads appeared."
Very nice quote :)
This paragraphI doesn't mean any offensivee with this post, it's just my personal view abouton this issue, although it i's not necessarily correct, but I think showing one's oppositeng points is also a kind ofimportant for learning about different cultures.
It sounds a bit odd to say that the "paragraph/post" "means" offense, lol

Overall, well-written post, and I definitely agree with your post. As someone who natively speaks a (sort of) pro-drop language as well, sometimes I drop subjects in English and people think I sound strange, hehe.

So I think cultures can be mixed unless they have very different meanings.
Cultures(languages) can be mixed together as long as the mixed one doesn’t have opposed meanings with the original one.
