Welcome
[edit]
Hello, Chensiwen! Welcome to Wikipedia! It appears that you are here to participate in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we highly encourage you to go through our training page that's specifically created and catered for students such as yourself:
If you need help, check out Wikipedia's page for questions. You can also ask me by visiting my user talk page and leaving a message, or you can ask your question on this page by editing it and placing {{Help me}} before your question. Please make sure that you sign your messages on discussion pages, which is done by entering four tildes (~~~~) at the very end of it; this will automatically insert your username and the date. I also highly recommend that you review the advice for students page.
Before you create an article, make sure that you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.
Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one, please tell your instructor about creating one. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know that the article is a subject of an educational assignment as well as aid your communication with them.
Here are some more pages that you might find helpful:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page (editing policy)
- Introduction to Wikipedia
- Help pages index
- Visual editor tutorial
- Wikitext tutorial (if you're choosing to edit pages using the Wikitext source code instead of the VisualEditor)
- Wikitext cheatsheet
While editing:
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Be bold, but do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
- Provide reliable sources to the content you add. If you are adding biomedical information, please follow this guideline.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay with us as a member of the community - even after your assignment is finished. Your time, energy, and your contributions will be highly valued and appreciated among us.

My evaluation
[edit]Overall, this translation is quite successful. You have demonstrated a clear understanding of the original text, and the English version effectively conveys the author’s intended meaning. In many parts, the content is complete and accurate, with no major misunderstandings or omissions. This shows that you have a solid grasp of the topic and are able to interpret the ideas in context.
The language in the translation, while not always completely natural, is generally clear and easy to understand. Especially when explaining abstract concepts, you chose simple and direct English expressions, which worked well. The structure of the writing is also logical, and the flow between paragraphs is smooth. It’s clear that you were not just translating sentence by sentence, but also thinking about the overall organization of the text. This shows a good level of awareness and maturity in writing.
Another positive point is your word choice. While some sentences may sound a bit literal, you still selected vocabulary carefully and accurately. In several cases, you avoided overly complex expressions and instead used simple but precise words, which made your writing easier to follow. This shows that you're already making an effort to avoid “Chinglish” and trying to write in more natural English.
That said, there is still room for improvement. Some sentences, although grammatically correct, do not sound very natural to native speakers. The sentence structures are also somewhat repetitive. Adding more variety—such as using compound or complex sentences and more idiomatic expressions—would help make the translation more engaging and polished.
Finally, there are issues with APA citation formatting, which your instructor has pointed out. You should pay closer attention to the rules of APA style, including how to format the author’s name, year, punctuation, and italics. Correct citation is an important part of academic writing and affects the overall quality of your work.
In conclusion, this is a solid and thoughtful translation. The meaning is conveyed clearly, and the organization is logical. There is clear evidence that you put effort into the task. With improvements in sentence variety, natural expression, and formatting accuracy, your translation will become even better. Keep up the good work! Ryuthefang (talk) 10:35, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
