Day 23

Recently, I'm starting to feel that I don't write as well as I thought I did in my native language. Consciously or not, I do read a lot every day, but when it comes to writing, I don't do it nearly as much. The feeling gets stronger when I correct other people's writing on this website. I probably know what they meant to say, but somehow, constrained by the sentence structure they used, it's hard for me to correct it properly. Maybe I should write something like a diary in my language every day. And it might be easier to write a diary than to write online, since you're allowed to write something stupid or boring when the only reader is just yourself. XD

Corrections

也可以: Recently, I'm starting to have been feeling that I don't write as well as Ipreviously thought I did in my native language.

注意:在写作时,最好尽量减少使用"我"这个词,以避免显得以自我为中心。说话时,这没有问题。 这是口语和书面英语不同的一种方式。NOTE: When writing, it is best to minimize the use of the word "I" to avoid seeming to self-centered. When speaking, this is no problem. (This is one way that spoken English and written English differ.)

Consciously or not, I do read a lot every day, but when it comes to writing, I don't do it nearly as much也可以: I do lots of reading, but write less often.

原版是可能的,但相当笨重。 上面的修订更加简洁明了。The original is possible, but rather clunky. The revision above is more pithy and succinct.

The feeling gets stronger when也可以: This feeling intensifies as I correct other people's writing on this website.

I probably也可以: Despite knowing what they meantintend to say, but somehow, constrained by the sentence structure they used, it's hard for me to correct itheir writing properly.

Maybe I should write something like a diary in my language every day.

And it might be easier to write a diary than to write online, since you're allowed to write something stupid or boring when the only reader is just yourself. XD我的猜测: And perhaps I should keep a personal diary on paper rather than online, since I can write stupid or boring things without worry.

日记常常提供有用的方法来"映射"我们的意识。 Diaries often provide useful ways to "map" our consciousness.

Day 23

Recently, I'mve been starting to feel that I don't write as well as I thought I did in my native language.

To me, using the simple present tense (“I am”) with “recently” sounds wrong, but others might feel differently.

When I encounter a sentence like the ones you’ve described, where I know (or believe) the sentence is wrong but am not sure how to correct it, I usually either leave a note with my correction to let the person know I’m not 100% confident about it, or I simply skip that sentence and let others correct it.

"The feeling" is fine, "This feeling" just sounds more natural

"Just" is redundant, "only" is enough
