The places where it is "incorrect" are places where you are mostly grammatically right, like the things Richard pointed out, which just sound wrong to us as native speakers. But even those "errors" do not detract from my ability to read your writing. They are just tiny reminders that you are not from an English speaking country :)Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08407133004841846661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1486602821494849561.post-35264985199149557632013-12-28T07:16:15.777-08:002013-12-28T07:16:15.777-08:00thank you elephant, very encouraging! thank you elephant, very encouraging!

I didn't know about the VW presence in Shanghai.<br /><br />As for your English, I think it's usually excellent. It strikes me as generally American. There are occasional small lapses in idioms or grammar. For example, "Growing up in such culture, I'm sure one another German fan" would sound better as "Growing up in such a culture, I sure am another fan of Germany."Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.com
