Let him enjoy his maiden tour to Europe first. When he returns we will see a freshly & totally recharged JYG. He may even grab the beautiful European accent then. -redneck(Cracker); 2014-7-2 (#8855276@0)

I'm afraid that he would fail to pick up the European accent cuz u know it's heavier than American. -caveat(emptor); 2014-7-2 {8} (#8855282@0)

I rarely see English in paragraphs in this forum. I can't help myself, taking the liberty to edit it. Hope you don't mind. Doesn't matter what you write, be it technical or creative, it has to be clear, logical and convincing. -iamnotanangel(Wolf); 2014-7-2 {2501} (#8855830@0)

==> you need to continuously repeat those English words in order to keep them.... The show Redneck and I HAVE just put on....

are actively involved in such a conversation you kinda repeatedly enhance the memory of these words in your brain.

==> ...reinforce the memory of these words. (no need for "in your brain")

This is good for seniors, but I would not talk much about that today. The thing is, when you are in such a communication you have to dig out some long lost words and put them in use. By getting in such process your memory gets refreshed, in which English, such a language requires you to share a piece of brain and award its priority.

==> This is good for seniors, but I would not talk much about that today. However, what I want to talk about is when you are in such a conversation you have to dig out some long lost words and use them. By engaging in this process, you have your memory refreshed, parts of your brain shared and its priority redistributed. (Don't change concept easily. You used "conversation" before, then stick to it. Count how many "such" you have used! It drastically reduces your persuasiveness. )

You may cry "oh my, craps all over the place!", but please be noted, when you get into it, even you put down simple words like "morning, good to know, thumbs up...", it helps bring you into a mode of interactive learning (redneck gave it an academic name, creative learning, which I have no problem with), in which, technically quick input and respond let you get response right away verifying your thinking, helping you carve words into your mind. It's just like you are talking to people.

==> ...but please note...quick inputs and responses give you instant feedbacks, which verify your thinking and help carve those words in your mind, like talking to people in real life.

Whatever you put here is positive, don't mind those typos and grammars. I know everybody is bust at work, but such activities would not need much of your mind and time. As you want to improve language then you gotta invest some time. Make sense?

==> ...is positive and I don't mind those typos...your mind and time. If you want to improve your English / language skills....

Another good example of misjudgment. Nothanks is way better if you compare the two's level of English literacy. -redneck(Cracker); 2014-7-3 (#8856399@0)

Yes on the surface but not fundamentally. -redneck(Cracker); 2014-7-3 (#8856509@0)

Terrific. It's very nice to have your comments. Thank you for your time. I agree that your modification makes my paragraph look more clear, logical and convincing. -dandelion1(蒲公英); 2014-7-3 {408} (#8856349@0)
I did not intend to write a thesis, and by the way, I finished this piece in about 15 minutes. I imagined I was standing there talking to my audiences, so my words were oral. If I had to compose a thesis I'd come up with a very serious one.

As I said "everything you put here is positive", it helps everyone. Keep being active. You are welcome.

Again thank you, and most importantly have a nice day.
Reasons I worded this way. -dandelion1(蒲公英); 2014-7-7 {1677} (#8862450@0)

Equals to:
English words are those [words that] need you to continuously repeat ...
, which emphasizes the characteristic of English words, however your rephrasing, " you need to continuously repeat those English words...", I think is bland.

Quote: “The thing is, when you are in such a communication you have to dig out some long lost words and put them in use. By getting in such process your memory gets refreshed, in which English, such a language requires you to share a piece of brain and award its priority.”------
"The thing is" means "the fact is", but is more oral.
"communication“ refers to "conversation" mentioned before, I think obviously. I purposely chose 'communication' to avoid duplication.
I chose ‘such' to emphasize the specialties of interactive learning. The last 'such' again emphasizes English words that need to be continuously repeated compared to other languages, specifically Chinese.

Quote: "...., but please be noted, ...."-------
This expression is stronger than "please note", because it wants the audiences to be aware/to get to certain status.

Quote: "Whatever you put here is positive, don't mind those typos and grammars. I know everybody is bust at work, but such activities would not need much of your mind and time. As you want to improve language then you gotta invest some time. Make sense?"------
"...don't mind those typos and grammars." is encouraging all Rolians not to bother those mistakes instead of "I don't mind".
"As you want" equals to "Since you want", it was not "If" that I wanted to say.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

That is my point. You don't care grammars and typos. I only want to show you how confusing it can be with those grammar errors or wrong choices of words. -iamnotanangel(Wolf); 2014-7-8 {1596} (#8863787@0)

==> It sounds weird and it does not emphasize anything at all. Avoid passive tense whenever you can.

==> It is not duplication. They are two different things. If you keep doing this in a long writing, you will definitely lose your readers. I certainly don't have the patience reading such writing.

Quote: "...., but please be noted, ...."-------
This expression is stronger than "please note", because it wants the audiences to be aware/to get to certain status.

==> No. If you want audience to notice something, use "please note". If you want something to "be noted", then use your version, but it still sounds weird.

"...don't mind those typos and grammars." is encouraging all Rolians not to bother those mistakes instead of "I don't mind".
"As you want" equals to "Since you want", it was not "If" that I wanted to say.

Point is well taken. -redneck(Cracker); 2014-7-8 {6} (#8863794@0)
by me.
Was my essay confusing? I believe most people got my points when they read it at the first time. -dandelion1(蒲公英); 2014-7-8 {619} (#8863843@0)
"Avoid passive tense whenever you can."
I can't agree with you. There are many ways of expressions. We don't have to stick on one style.

"communication“ and "conversation"
With context, they refer to same thing. Why do you think keeping one word is the best? Where comes the standard?

"but please be noted"
It is just like "please be advised/notified". It is not weird at all.

" As...Then " comes from your Chinese. People without any Chinese background understand "if...then", not "as...then".
From MY Chinese? Maybe I should remove "then", but most people DO understand "as...then".

Let's fuel up! -redneck(Cracker); 2014-7-8 (#8863847@0)

Yes, YOUR cyber brain only reads "if...then", not any other form. 100% agreed. -dandelion1(蒲公英); 2014-7-8 (#8863858@0)
