Does anybody have any tips on how to sound less fluent in English? The other day, a friend of mine asked me for help reviewing an English essay she was writing for her uni course (neither of us is a native English speaker, but I've been living in the UK for nearly 10 years and am pretty fluent), so I made some corrections. However, as she checked it she said that it was too good, that it was obvious the fixes weren't hers and that her teacher would've found out immediately.How can I improve by getting worse for the future?
You're not writing with her tone of voice. Like drawing a part of someone else's painting, we can tell there's two artists.You can practice writing and reviewing essays with her so you both get better.
>>33924139"Making some corrections" directly on your friend's paper is plagiarism. You are supposed to explain to your friend what errors she made, and then let her correct them herself.
>>33924139Off the top of my head:Be more flexible with idioms and colloquialisms.Fluctuate the level of formality.Switch up the prepositions and articles etc.
