I want to learn different kinds of lanuages Hello everyone, Nice to meet you here. Hope we can be good partner to help each other. I graduated from university in July, 2013. My major is International Economy & Trade. Now I am an international sales in a trading company. Our main products are rotary encoders and couplings. Before I entered into the university, I always want to be a business woman. So, I chose this major. After work, I find that I really like my present job. When I negotiate with my customers from different countries, I can forget everything. I enjoy the process. But, my oral English is not very good, especially the intonation. I always want to improve myself, but I have less time. To be honest, I feel tired and want to have a good rest after whole day work. Therefore, I waste much time. In 2014, I am devoured by guilt. Today is the last day in 2014, I hope I can make a happy ending with my terrible 2014. Tomorrow is a start of 2015, the New Year. In 2015, I must value time to study more I want. Hope I can pass the exam of BEC Vantage. I missed the application this year..... Sincerely hope everyone enjoy your time. Happy New Year! ------ Carrie 2014.12.31

I want to learn different kinds of languages

Hello everyone,

Nice to meet you here. I hope [1] we can be good partners to help each other.

I graduated from university in July, 2013. My major is was International Economy & Trade. Now I am an international sales person [2] in a trading company. Our main products are rotary encoders and couplings.

Before I entered into the university, I always wanted to be a business woman. So, I chose this major. After work [3], I find that I really like my present job. When I negotiate with my customers from different countries, I can forget everything [4]. I enjoy the process.

But, my oral English is not very good, especially the intonation. I always want to improve myself, but I have less little [5] time. To be honest, I feel tired and want to have a good rest after a whole day of work. Therefore, I waste much a lot of time. In 2014, I am devoured by guilt.

Today is the last day in of [6] 2014, and I hope I can make a happy ending with my terrible 2014 year. Tomorrow is a the start of 2015—the New Year. In 2015, I must value find time to study more I want. I hope I can pass the exam of BEC Vantage exam. I missed the application this year..... [7]

I sincerely hope everyone enjoys your their [8] time. Happy New Year!

[1] When writing English, you should not omit the subject.  When speaking English, the subject can be omitted if it is obvious.

 

[2] There is a mistake in this sentence.  Either you omitted the word 'person', or the word 'an' should have been 'in'.  The following sentences have slightly different meanings.

"Now I am an international sales person in a trading company."

"Now I am in international sales in a trading company."

 

[3] The phrase "after work" is usually short for "each day after work", which I don't think is your meaning.  The following may be closer to your meaning:

"After having worked with this company for a while, I find that I really like my present job."

 

[4] While "I can forget everything" is indeed an English phrase, it seems out of place here.  I don't know what it means to "forget everything" while negotiating with customers.

 

[5] Saying "less time" requires a comparison.  For example:

"When I was at university I had a lot of time to practice English.  Now I have less time."

However, if you are not making a comparison, you can say "little time".

"I have little time to practice English."

 

[6] Saying "the last day in 2014" is fine. For a person's whose English was poor, I would not change this phrase.  However, since your English is so good, we can make it more natural.  A native speaker is more likely to say "the last day of 2014".

 

[7] Only three dots in an ellipses ('...').

 

[8] Truthfully, neither 'your' nor 'their' is the correct pronoun here.  However, most native speakers would say 'their'.
