These idea left in the bottom of my brain. I also wanna fluently organize these phrases to show my great ideas. These day. I parted in fews of english corner. I exactly am an extremist. I make something perfect. But perfect isn't something. Lots of people haven't such a level. They wanna. But shy to "enforce ".

- Hey Hi Loong. Thanks for your nice words and I appreciate it. My willingness to write is because of the sincerity of friends here. It is so heartwarming to see you and others write out whatever is on their minds in English. It is really not easy to write it out because you need to think out the contents, organize and compose the article. I am also happy to see them improve through writing here. Furthermore, I am encouraged when I know the advice I gave are of practical value to them and helping them. You are one of the progressive writers here and I am sure readers like to read what you are writing. Keep it up.
I can fathom what you want to express? Oh come on, you do not have to be so humble. You have sufficient proficiency in English to write properly and you also have the ability to respond to other writers.
Keep writing my friend, it is always nice to have you around. Cheers.

- Pls pardon my silly words here.enough with I have a faithful reader. Maybe these word make u laugh. As for me. Around SNS. It hard to find a sincere man. In these blogi either read another article. To be honest. Chinglish. Freaky grammar. And simple thinking suck me. I want not to offend against someone here. After all english as second language to us has magic but we suffered cuz we haven't excellent surrounding though. We read many english edition novels. After we conversation. I still use chinglish. We shy to vocalize. We find foreigner to practice. But they tolerate ours bad english enough. We want to make sense. But ppl nationwide haven't such a level. However I try to switch this. I hope I can make some friends like you. What I learn is dedicate to show my ideas Just for dialogue.

- Dear sir. I puzzled cuz I looked at your personal infos. I am distrustful a little. It writes you come from Britain. And is it true. I have a question. As I downloaded more than 10 ebooks. They are english edition. Yes. I admit. I understand wholly. While. I use those words ideas. Or something refer to local slang. The problem came out. Such as aficionado. Is an Italian. It mean crazy. Hectic. As I describe I am fans of pop music or art. I will say. I am music and art aficionado. While people thought i am eccentric man. What I said can't make and sense. Actually I like learning then using. I don't how attitude of ppl around me. Am I mistakenly expressing? Or english as second lingua. We just learn general lexicons. Approximately. We the Chinese english learner need to grasp basic 2000 words. To me. Insufficient.

- Well, I don't know why a person should claim to be British, if he is not. It is hard to impersonate a British national and if anyone tries that, he would be quickly uncovered. I am 100% British and so are both of my parents. However, I was born in Hong Kong when my father was serving in the British Army stationed in Hong Kong prior to 1997. Should it make you more comfortable to verify that, do let me know.
It appears that you have misunderstood the word 'aficionado' which originates from the English word 'affectionate'. The word means you are fond of something or crazily fond of something. It is not appropriate to use an unadapted Spanish or Italian word in an English sentence. However, if you insist on doing so you should write phrase it as follows;
I am an aficionado in music and art.
(Lo sono appassionato di musica e arte).
People who knows the word should be able to interpret the meaning as ''I am a man eccentric in music and art''.
To be proficient in English, a person should have a vocabulary of at least 3000 words, and be able to use them effectively. He should also be able to organize and compose an article pleasantly. Hope I have solved your query.

- I have to disagree with you that Chinese people have inherent difficulties in learning written English. I have met so many Chinese who can write very well in English and I am quite surprised at their skills and ability to learn a second language so well. However, I have to agree that quite a lot of them have problems in spoken English and I have identified the problem as lack of practice and shyness in speaking openly. This problem could be solved by practice in person one to one.
Don't worry, it won't be long before you can write and speak proficiently.

- If you were Englishman. Maybe there is a invisible ring on your head. It is authentic What we write. We express can be judged by a english spoken countryman. Like me. I inhabit in Tibet. So we do talk with stranger. They just care about all thing in Tibet which is mysterious place. While I am storyteller. They doesn't care how about my mind. My sphere! If you were a biritish. This mean your english to you is pretty general. We talk. And write. If u think ours articles are readable. To us it mean ours english level go up. We feel cloud nine. U were not. Maybe it isnt only helpful. But a bored reader as well and presently my article has less reader ever. I don't know the reason. Maybe I use some more neologism can't make sense. Maybe what I write is a pointless things.

- 'Ring on my head' ... LOL, love your humor. Anyway, there is no need to be too concerned about my ethnicity. I am here to exchange ideas and and learn about problems facing people and try to help solve them. To be honest, you are in an interesting region Tibet which is indeed mysterious. I need a visa plus an additional Tibet visit permit just for a visit as a tourist.
There are also restrictions as to the places I can visit.
There isn't much problem with the way you write, but certainly, the more you read and write, the more you would improve. Have confidence in yourself.

- Your ethnicity isn't serious things. And could u tell me more about what I write can draw some more readers attention. I care about that. I know I have thousands of lexicon. I eager to take good use of them. The one side. I want not to simplify whole paragraph that can't make any sense of my own ideas or opinion. Overused simple words might decreased fluency of whole article ?

- Actually, your writing is not too bad, although there are quite a few grammatical mistakes. In fact, I found readers are interested in how to solve their personal problems, getting opinions from other readers about their comments and also learn how to write effectively and professionally. I believe they can learn these from the my responses to the blogs. Through my responses, I try to let them know how words should be used and how to write in a pleasant and attractive way. It is not appropriate for me to correct each and every blog because that would be private tuition and should be a task for schools. Just keep on writing and be rest assured that you would learn as you go.
OK, here is an example of how to write better; EXAMPLE:
''Your ethnicity isn't doesn't really matters. Perhaps, you could suggest what I could write about in order to attract the reader's attention. I am concerned about that. I know I have thousands of lexicons on hand, but I wish to put them to proper use. Honestly, I have no desire to simply write a whole paragraph where I cannot express my ideas or opinion. It is true that repeated simple words would affect the smoothness of the whole article?''
You still feel you could not write as smoothly and effectively like the example here? All you have to do is to read more. Eventually you would learn how to write properly. Have patience my friend.
