I'm going to describe my English teacher at university, who came to China about 15 years ago and speaks excellent Chinese. His name is Mr. Harris, and he's from the USA. I first met him during my first year of university, in a compulsory English writing course that everyone in my department had to take. To be honest, I wasn't too enthusiastic about taking that course, as my English was very poor at the time and I hated studying it. However, right from the start, I really enjoyed Mr. Harris's class. He's a great teacher and has a talent for explaining things in a fun and engaging way. Moreover, even though he made a point of never speaking Chinese during the lessons, he was always available to help us after class if we had questions about the course content. He helped me a lot throughout my time at university, and we quickly became good friends. Although he studied Chinese and English literature at university in the USA years ago, I believe that the main reason Mr. Harris speaks Chinese so well is that he makes a point of practicing every day, with his students and others, any time he isn't teaching. He's very extroverted, and is always inviting former students, colleagues, and others over to his apartment in the evening. In addition, he loves to discuss literature and has some very interesting opinions about English and Chinese literature and the differences between them. I really admire how well he speaks Chinese, and I hope my English will be that good someday.

I'd like to talk about my friend Alex, who is originally from Canada. We met at a local language exchange event in Shanghai, where I was immediately taken aback by his fluency in Mandarin. Alex comes from Vancouver and moved to China about five years ago for work. What sets Alex apart in terms of language acquisition is his unique approach to learning. Rather than sticking solely to textbooks or online tutorials, Alex adopted an immersive method. He actually spent the first year of his Chinese journey living in a rural village where hardly anyone spoke English. He told me this experience was instrumental in forcing him to adapt and learn quickly. Moreover, Alex is an avid fan of Chinese movies and literature, which has not only expanded his vocabulary but also honed his understanding of cultural nuances. It's intriguing to see how he incorporates idiomatic expressions effortlessly into conversations, much like a native speaker would. The cornerstone of his proficiency, however, lies in his insatiable curiosity and relentless practice. He engages with local communities, frequents Mandarin-speaking social events, and never misses an opportunity to practice. Alex told me that he even thinks in Chinese now, which is probably why his language skills are so ingrained. In a nutshell, Alex speaks Chinese well because he has blended traditional learning methods with real-world experiences, showing a deep commitment and genuine love for the language and culture.

복잡한 문장과 간단한 문장의 결합: 응답은 주종 복합 문과 병렬 문을 사용했습니다. 예를 들어 "교과서나 온라인 자습서에만 집착하는 대신 Alex는 몰입형 방법을 채택했습니다."이 문장은 대조를 도입하기 위해 "Rather than"을 사용했으며, 동작을 나타내기 위해 "adopted"를 사용했습니다. 시제의 적절한 사용: 응답은 주로 현재 시제와 과거 시제를 사용하여 보편적인 견해와 역사적 경험을 설명했습니다. 예를 들어 "그는 실제로 중국 여행의 첫 해를 영어를 거의 사용하지 않는 시골 마을에서 보내면서 보냈습니다." 표현의 계층성: "한 마디로," "더구나," 그리고 "그러나"와 같은 구문을 사용하여 응답은 표현의 계층성과 깊이를 나타냈습니다. 이렇게 함으로써 문장의 복잡성을 높일 뿐만 아니라 표현의 정확성과 풍부성을 향상시켰습니다. 논리적인 일관성과 시간적 연속성: "where," "when," "which is probably why"를 사용함으로써 응답은 시간과 논리의 일관성을 보장했습니다. 이것은 전체 설명을 더욱 유창하고 논리적으로 만들었습니다.
