Hello everyone,
I'm here again, not because I love to write, but I want to learn and practice English. I have never liked to write, I am not a great writer, but I am a good speaker.
When I try to remember at least one moment of my life, when I wanted to write, I can't find one.
I can't believe how I was able to write my dissertation in order to graduate from the University.
What I do remember is that I read many books, I walked from library to library, I talked with many people in order to finally do my Dissertation. I was and am proud of that.
Even in my language, I can have so many ideas on my brain, but when I want to reproduce my ideas I can't. I do not know where lies the problem, maybe the problem is, you know when your brain tries to debug all the information that you have and then put it on a sheet.
My brain, I guess I am not sure, my brain tries to say all that he thinks.
But I have told you before, I don't have a problem talking, I can, and I do that well. I don't feel panic or shame.
And how you can see, or should I say, how you can read an interesting story.
Ok bye
You write quite good actually. Maybe try to learn more formal ways to write and punctuation rules.
The keys to writing well are a) keep writing b) read LOTS
I'm quite the opposite of you. I can write and I love writing but I can't absolutely speak. This is because I lack confidence and also because, when I write, I have more time to think and I can correct the text until I find the right words to express exactly what I mean. As you have said, this reflects our behavior in our native languages. Actually, I'm not a great speaker in Italian too. I prefer send messages or e-mails rather than make calls or leave vocal messages.
I thought you wrote very well (I am a native speaker). Just a few little comments.
It‘s great to see your text in German and English. Good idea to recycle it.
Maybe you could speak into a transcriber and see what it writes for you! A great way also to focus on pronunciation.
One comment for you about your use of commas (,). There are lot of instances where it is correct rather to just start a new sentence. My literature teacher always said that if it can be it's own sentence, always best to make it that way. However, commas are very tricky and most native speakers struggle with it or use them incorrectly. Generally, the rule is that if you would take a breath or a pause when speaking then that's where a comma might go. Hope hat suggestion will help!
