That English is not advanced results in Chinese leaning English hard.

Chinese has a history of five thousand years, whereas English is born in less than one thousand years; therefore, it is inevitable that English has some disadvantage when it compares with Chinese. The disadvantage of English restricts people to use English flexibly. Not only Chinese but also native English speakers must deliberate for a long time and revise again and again before finally compose a satisfactory essay. The disadvantage of English is the reason why Chinese learn English hard.

That English is not advanced leads to countless long and fixed English phrases. Since poor English words are not able to transmit exact and full meanings to readers, some of the single words are bound up to form phrases; furthermore; transitions and infinitives are added to sentences. Long and fixed English phrases are complemented in English because of the disadvantage of English.

That English is not advanced results in a great many confusing tenses. In English paragraphs, word tenses constantly change from one to another while there is not any tense for Chinese words. That is because English is not so advanced that it can describe matters without the help of tenses. People must use different tenses to describe the things that happen in the different time. A great many of confusing word tense is the result of English being not advanced.

That English is not advanced results in complex sentence structure. Due to the fact that there are not enough narrative and descriptive adjectives in English, people have to invent adjective clause as a supplement of adjectives. For another example, because of the special position in a sentence, a shout sentence has to be changed into the noun form so as to form a noun clause. English is not advanced; as a consequence, there are complex sentence structures that are used in English.

Long and fixed phrases, confusing word tense, and complex sentence structures result from the fact that English is not advanced. These disadvantage results in Chinese learning English hard, for Chinese, who are used to the superior language, are difficult to adapt to the inferior and complex one. Maybe as years passing by, English will evolve into a language that is as superior as Chinese and become easier for Chinese to learn.

I am aware that it is an offense to native English speakers and hereby certify that all statements in this paragraph are not real. As a matter of fact, English is another kind of beautiful language besides Chinese. Although it is hard for writers to write English essays, it is easy for readers to understand them.
