Hi Clive,

I see, thanks for your kind support.

Actually, I want to learn more about the standard original English. In my country, we always use English in our own way,we call it Chinglish.Mostly we are not so concrete and accurate in our expressions.

For instance, when we are talking about something in English, we often use simple common words and sometimes describe simple things in rough and long words.That is the problem I have.

Also I want to improve my Listening English, sometimes I found it was very hard to follow with English speakers in different accents.

Thanks & Best Regards,

Sunny

Hi Sunny,

I understand what you mean about Chinglish. However, don't think that using simple, common words is always a bad thing, becuase it's always good to keep your language as clear and simple as possible.

If you have any Chinglish expressions you'd like us to make suggestions about, please just post them, OK?Smile [:)]

Clive
