Writing

Do you think that writing in Chinese is more "colorful?"
In China, there are many forms of writing. Chinese poems are totally different with any kinds of poems. In ancient age, the poems of Tang dynasty are very beautiful and colorful. However, by old and famous writers dead, the young writers couldn’t restore writing in modern time. The books are always about the love in high school and college. Even the way of writing and language is good. It also can’t make people happy and comfortable. The young people need write deeply.
That is to say, when you are writing in Chinese, what images do you form in your head?
I would like free to write anything what I am interesting in. I want to limit by format, write statement and topic sentence. I don’t like that.

Chinese characters are very beautiful - when writing with these characters, tell us what is going on in your mind. China has a long, rich, history - how does this long, rich, history affect you as a writer when you are writing in Chinese?
Because of the long history of china, I can add many things in my article. But I also have my own opinion in my article, I don’t write too many facts in my essay. I prefer to write my opinion about everything which is happening everyday.

How do you feel when you must write in American English?
I feel ok. American writing is totally different with Chinese writing. We need to learn from the beginning. American writing needs correct format, main idea, and topic sentences. I must learn it well because I have been here which different with China. I need to change my way to think about the problem. At first, I need to study English.
In ENGL 396, many of your projects have involved the use of images, photos, and/or videos. Did using these items help you to express your ideas better in English? Why or why not?I have added photos in my essay. It makes my essay look better. Sometimes, when I use images and videos in my article, it will make my essay become more colorful and powerful
