No. 10 Proposal I have written nine essays since I signed up on italki. I had never written so much in my life before this. Many language partner corrected my essays which I appreciate very much. I learned a lot from my language partners especially from David whom not only corrected my essay but also taught how to write. I want to repay their kindness. I have a proposal. When I write an essay I will write two version. One is written in English which is my target language. The other one is written in Chinese, my mother tongue. When my language partner reads my essay, he/she could do three things as follows. 1.Correct my essay as usual. 2.Translate my essay to Chinese which is his/her target language, then he/she could compare his/her translated version with my Chinese version. 3.Adapt my essay in English. So I could compare his/her English version with mine to find the difference. I could learn how a native speaker write. With comparing we can find the difference which is most difficult in learning a new language. We can discuss the difference when we have a conversation. I will do the exactly same thing if my language partner writes an essay in two languages. This work needs a lot of time. I think it is effective. So we could do these all or any part we like. This is my proposal. I start with this essay. 我的提议 自从我在italki注册以来，我已经写了九篇作文了。在此之前我从来没有写过这么多。很多语言伙伴改正了我的作文，我很感激他们。我在我的语言伙伴那里我学到了很多，尤其是David，他不仅批改我的作文，还教我如何写作。我想回报他们对我的好意，我提出一个建议。 当我写一篇作文的时候，我写两个版本。第一个用我要学习的英语来写，第二个用我的母语——中文来写。 当我的语言伙伴读我的作文的时候，他/她可以做三件事情。 1、像往常一样的批改我的作文。 2、把我的英语作文翻译成中文，然后对照我的中文版与他/她的翻译版。 3、用英语改写我的作文，这样我就能够对照我的英语版与他/她的英文版来需找区别。这样我就能够学习如何像一个native speaker一样的写作。 通过对比我们能够发现两个版本的不同之处，而这正是学习一种新语言最困难的地方。当我们能够交流时，我们就能够讨论这些区别。 如果我的语言伙伴用两种语言写了文章，那我也会做同样的事情。 这个工作很耗时间，我认为这会很有效。当然我们可以全做，也可以做自己喜欢的某些部分。 这就是我的提议。 就让我先从这篇作文开始。
