What I Said:

Today I started to translate an introduction material for TMAN Consulting to English version. Because I found we have only Chinese version last year. But until today I had no free time to do this task. I came up with this because I had a chatting with ChenXu — one of my former colleagues. He had been living in Singapore. I asked him to help my business. Then I found I have no English version materials again. Let’s get started.

ChatGPT’s Revision:

Today, I started translating an introduction material for TMAN Consulting into English. I realized last year that we only had a Chinese version, but I never had the time to work on it until now. This came up after a chat with Chen Xu, one of my former colleagues who now lives in Singapore. I asked him to help with my business, and that’s when I realized, once again, that I don’t have English materials. Time to fix that—let’s get started!

Fixes and Explanations:

  • “Today I started to translate an introduction material for TMAN Consulting to English version” → “Today, I started translating an introduction material for TMAN Consulting into English”

    “Translating” flows better than “to translate,” and “into English” is more concise than “to English version.”

  • “Because I found we have only Chinese version last year” → “I realized last year that we only had a Chinese version”

    “I realized” is smoother and more natural than “I found,” and “only had” correctly reflects past tense.

  • “But until today I had no free time to do this task” → “but I never had the time to work on it until now”

    Simplified for better readability and natural phrasing.

  • “I came up with this because I had a chatting with ChenXu” → “This came up after a chat with Chen Xu”

    “This came up” is more concise, and “a chat with Chen Xu” sounds more conversational.

  • “I asked him to help my business. Then I found I have no English version materials again” → “I asked him to help with my business, and that’s when I realized, once again, that I don’t have English materials”

    Smoothed out the phrasing for clarity and added “once again” to emphasize the repeated realization.

  • “Let’s get started”

    Kept as is. It’s simple and motivating.
