"how to improve on your chinese" plz.

lol isn't it very easy? Just the common stuff you'll write. And wtf, why'd you need an essay liddat.

I still need to write a chinese essay, I think its about teenagers' stuff.

Hate chinese.

 

[elixirdream]

ITS CONFIRMED FF13 17th December 2009

ipikachu,
you want that in chinese?

 

[iPikachu]

i got 40+ for my ca for chinese and my mother wants me to write this essay on how to improve my chinese in 200 words and more.

all i can think of is study read textbook etc, but the thing is its like half reflection(gah) so after she reads it she ould sa i have to do the stuff i wrote.

yeah in chinese otherwise why would i ask :3

 

[Domination]

Er, lol?

I would say reading textbooks isn't teh only way to improve your chinese. If you like the wu xia stuff, it would be of great help. Really, the xiao shuo are all very interesting. The ideas etc... i ahev never read them though

Too cheem for me. But you can sart by watching some dramas, really it can help. At least thats what I think they do for me. I'll say if you have interest in china history and culture, studying chinese is more fun.

And of course, watch my chinese versions of stuff. Watch chinese news instead. Chinese newspapers instead. Etc. These are actually more interesting than you think.

And the one that I never wish to do is... well read chinese story books and textbooks. Those are really boring.

Maybe i can write one, but I hate chinese, elixir can do it

 

[elixirdream]

reading won't help if you don't use it

so the first thing is practice it

spam your chinese with elixir, mrfatso and domination
that would help

when i say practice meaning ask you to type it out! word by word

 

[mrfatso]

yup, just typed it out here if u want, but to be honest, if its me, i usually just go find a newspaper and copy out a few articles and at the end just write in chinese of cos(by reading these, this is how i will improve my chinese)

and pika, since u did "so-called" "learn" "programming" in your school club (which i totally "believe" you) add comments to your essay on what this phrase means what in english lor.


well, its true and u are sure to get 200+ words buhahaha

 

[mysterio123]

watch more chinese shows and refrain from english shows as well as talking to your parents in chinese only and talking to people regardless of race in chinese. just the fucking essay a joke since ur mother wants u to do this kind of things

 

[iPikachu]

last time i lied, i had to write an essay too. i ahd to write (in which afetr i got caned scolded etc) what i did wrong and usually ending with i regret and will never do it again blahblah

[elixirdream]

我在gbatemp认识了一位大马的华裔男子.他常常欺负我说我是笨蛋,无知,没有用,爱说谎的小女孩.除此台还说我假纯情装可爱.我听了也默默赞许他那么的了解我这个撒谎的小女孩

translate this ipikachu!

and also translate those chinese on my signature

 

[Domination]

??gbatemp????????????.???????????,??,???,???????.

lol

How about: ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Ignore that, just me being shameless

Chinese is easier if you translate it sentence by sentence and comprehending it that way. And of course, you need to learn inference when you see words you don't know. Infer from the sentences or phrases around it.

Edit: elixir's sig is easy

 

[elixirdream]

with both of us brushing ipikachu's mandarin
i doubt she will fail her mandarin in next term exam

 

[Domination]

I think I would fail 'O' Levels chinese in october though... aw shucks. Oh and also fail both maths next term.

I think if you can get a high mark for cloze passage, should be ok, the comprehension can just stive for points enough to pass each question. Though summary, you'll die. Most probably.

 

[elixirdream]

do you all learn 文言文?

domination,
don't spend so much time on gbatemp! go study

 

[Domination]

I spend more time reading Jojo's Bizarre adventure and listening to music than on gbatemp anyways, i just open it alongside

lol

And elixir, still reading chap 515, White Album part 6 on the Vento Aureo arc.

 

[mrfatso]

fine i guess it is considered as u did do programming.
edit: what am i expecting lor, lego robot is easy, i just looked at one of the snippet, looks like they did most of the things for u, bt then again, wtf do i know anyway.

Hmm, Pika, just remember, if u really suck at chinese, then add some notes to your work, put some notes in your textbook/workbook, telling yourself what this phrase means what?

Like for example, lets say u find this phrase/idiom"一心一意" what the fish is it? if u check dictionary and found the meaning, then u can add a note next to '一心一意', explaining what it means.

Just read more chinese books, listen to chinese music for a while.

Domination, ai ya, just relax and study binomial theorem, then permutation, quad equalation, your trigo, and let's see, err, your graph(not that impt, probably just have 1 question where u need to draw the graph), but u still need to remember their formulaes, and etc(probably forgotten some other topic)

 

[elixirdream]

Domination,
ah.. part 6 and you mean jolin & white snake?
ehehehe
