From now on, I don’t want to control and to correct my text anymore by ChatGPT. I think, I betray myself with this corrections. This diary should reflect my current state of English competence and not what I could perform in some years. I thought it would be better to have only correct texts in order not be used to wrong sentences or words. Up to now I will correct it afterwards and will put them in parentheses or something like that: bold, cursive or so.
Here I’m quoting the text I sent to Henri. I took over two small grammatical corrections from ChatGPT.
I am glad that you agree with my proposal to have in future English conversation with each other. One of my greatest helper for improving my English is at the time ChatGPT. But with respect to my last post I can say that I didn’t use it. Afterwards I put the text into ChatGPT and asked it to correct only the heavy mistakes, there weren’t. As always, it corrected something more and I asked it if the corrections are really necessary or if my original text would be understandable and sufficient. ChatGPT agreed that it can be taken as I wrote it. So it happens without changing.
To use the time up to your coming back I would enjoy to chat with you from time to time. I’m always interested in all things related to China. My part would be to report such things which are happening here in this time, but which can’t be found in the world press.
I wish you a good jump in the New Year (not knowing if this is a suitable wish in English).
