Still a little worried I bit off more than I can chew with my paper topic. Keeping all the relationships straight, and describing them in Chinese is not easy. I think part of my problem is at times I am clinging to English; when I get to a complicated part of the paper, I start trying to think it out in English and then translate–this leads to some really convoluted grammar. So this week I am trying to let the Chinese flow, focus more on thinking and writing naturally in Chinese rather than worrying about whether my grammar is formal enough, or if I am including all the facts I might if I were to describe what I am writing about in English.
