  Knoy - Overcoming Chinese-English Colloquial Habits in Writing (I-TESL-J)
From the perspective of a Chinese writer in a non-native English speaking environment, the nature of Chinese-English should be the initial concern, instead of how to emulate the writing of a native English speaker.

While focusing on the unique situation of a Chinese writer in a non-native English speaking environment, the Chinese OWL advocates an alternative approach in which the tutor makes the Chinese writer aware of his or her colloquial habits (separate of writing style and grammatical errors).

For that is the exact feeling of a Chinese grandfather holding his grandchild by the hand and going to the shops to buy some candy, with the thought that in five or ten years he will be returning to his grave or to his ancestors.
That feeling of chivalry found clear expression in Mencius in some such saying as, 'The people with gray hair should not be seen carrying burdens on the street,' which was expressed as the final goal of good government." (p.
