My mother and I do the Chinese character quiz on newspaper every Sunday morning. There are sentences in which there is a wrong but same sound Chinese character for each sentences. So we find out which one is the wrong character and revise it to the correct character. Our result of yesterday was 8 correct answer out of 10. So if there is someone who is studying Japanese or Chinese and is struggling with remembering Chinese characters, don't worry. Although I have studied Chinese characters for 12 years in school, additionally read and write it everyday, I'm far from complete. I am sure that learning Chinese character is difficult for everyone.

My mother and I do the Chinese character quiz in the newspaper every Sunday morning. There are sentences in which there is a Chinese character which is wrong but has the right sound. We work out which one is the wrong character and change it to the correct character. Our result yesterday was 8 correct answers out of 10, so if there is someone who is studying Japanese or Chinese and is struggling with remembering Chinese characters, don't worry. Although I have studied Chinese characters for 12 years in school, and I read and write them everyday, I'm far from perfect. I am sure that learning Chinese characters is difficult for everyone.

I tried to make it sound more natural! I think as a rule, when you’re ending a sentence and starting the next sentence with “So”, it’d be better to merge the two sentences together. In school, we get told that you shouldn’t start sentences with “but”, “so”, or “because”. This isn’t really true but it might be a useful rule of thumb.
