Features: The purpose of this book is to help Chinese students with a certain foundation in English overcome differences in Western culture and thought, firmly grasp the writing techniques of English sentences, and thus cross the threshold from Chinglish to idiomatic English. The book discusses the dominant role of thinking in English sentence writing and uses specific examples from contemporary society to illustrate the impact of English sentences influenced by Chinese thinking on short passages. The book also provides examples of sentences and short passages from modern English publications as case studies, along with detailed analysis.
