写作文当学语言的方法

我安排我学中文的计画的时候，我原来打算花更多的时间提高我的口语，因为我那时候的想法是口语比写字更实用。但是，我才发现写作也是个很重要的能力。

最近，我跟一些台湾的语言伙伴做语言交换。我们会约一个互相方便的时间，再见面，然后用我们学的语言一起聊天。 安排约会的时候，我们会用Line或FB短讯沟通。 虽然这是一个很基本的事情，我还需要好几次得用翻译的APP跟他们聊天，而且多看看我打的句子，查如果看得懂。

对我来说， 面对面的对话是练习语言的最简单的方法。即使你的文法都不对，对方听得懂你主要的意思就好了。 在面对面的对话，你也可以用表情和动作表达你们想说什么。 书面资料只有汉字。 而且，我还没学过写作文的正确方法，所以我很慢地写句子，也不知道我是否写对了。

可是，写作的沟通也有一些好处，比如说：我有更长的时间想一想，让我解释更复杂的话题。我发现我说话的时候，我会忘记一些词汇，再用最简单的字和说法。但是在写作当中，我被迫想出来最清楚表达我的意思的句子，会用更准确的文法和词汇。

When I was making my plan to study Chinese, I originally planned to focus on improving my speaking abilities because I thought it would be more practical than writing. However, I'm discovering that writing is also an important ability.

I've been having language exchanges with some Taiwanese language partners recently. We usually find a mutually convenient time, meet up, then talk in our target languages. When arranging our meeting, we usually use Line or FB to chat. Even if scheduling our meet-up is a simple task, I still need to consult translation apps several times and repeatedly check over my messages to see if my text is understandable.

In my opinion, face to face conversation is the easiest way to practice a language. Even if your grammar is all wrong, as long as your main meaning is understood it's all good. You can also use facial expressions or gestures to help convey our meaning. In writing, you can only rely on your words. I've also never studied the correct way of writing essays so I'm very slow in forming sentences, and can't tell whether what I've written is correct or not.

However, written communication does have it's advantages. For example, I have a much longer time to think and explain more complicated topics. I noticed that when I speak, I usually forget some words and default to using simpler ways of speaking. But in writing, I'm forced to think of the clearest way to convey my meaning, so I can prioritize my grammar and accuracy.
