I Helped My Friend Move This is just a short essay for what happened on my weekends. Yesterday, I helped my friend move to a new place. We rented a Uhaul, but it is not big enough. She has a lot of things like bed flame, mattress and bookcase. We came and backed three times. When I walked in the elevator, I was holding a lot of things in my hands. I wanted to ask other people to push 5 for me( or ask other people for pressing 5, which one is correct? ), so I said ' Would you please press 5 for me? Thanks.' And when the elevator stopped and opened on the 2ed floor, I did a very stupid thing that I went out by mistake. I didn't notice which floor it definitely is.(Should I use the word 'definitely'? If not, which word should I use?) When I noticed that this is not the floor I pressed, I suddenly turned back and nearly hit the person who was supposed to go out on the 2ed floor. I saw him smiling at me. I thought I needed to say something, but I didn't. So does someone could tell me what reaction should be for this situation? What should I say? Maybe I should smile at him and say ' Oops, wrong floor.' I was very tired and exhausted yesterday. When I waked up this morning, I felt hurt on(not sure for this word) my arms and wrist. I mean the the muscle on my arms and wrist hurted. So I stayed at home and watched some movies and TV shows on my bed all day. Tomorrow, I have to go to class. I really don't want to go to class. I have one more question, If I want to introduce myself in email, what should I say? 'Hi, This is Katie from xxx. ' or ' I am Katie. ' or ' My name is Katie.' Thank you for reading my essay. I am looking forward to your response.

I Helped My Friend Move

This is just a short essay for what happened on my weekends.

Yesterday, I helped my friend move to a new place. We rented a Uhaul, but it is not big enough. She has a lot of things like a bed frame, a mattress, and a bookcase. It took us three trips. When I walked into the elevator, my hands were full. I wanted to ask other people to push 5 for me, so I said ' Would you please press 5 for me? Thanks.' And when the elevator stopped and opened on the 2nd floor, I did a very stupid thing and stepped out by mistake. I didn't notice which floor it was. When I noticed that I was on the wrong floor I pressed (pressed what?), I suddenly turned back and nearly hit the person who was supposed to go out on the 2nd floor. I saw him smiling at me. ' Oops, wrong floor,' I said, smiling back at him.

I was very tired and exhausted yesterday. When I woke up this morning, my arms and wrists hurt. So I stayed at home and watched some movies and TV shows on my bed all day. Tomorrow, I have to go to class. I really don't want to go to class.

I have one more question, If I want to introduce myself in an email, what should I say?
'Hi,
This is Katie from xxx. ' or ' I am Katie. ' or ' My name is Katie.'

Thank you for reading my essay. I am looking forward to your response.

Hi Katie! All three of those introductions would be fine in conversational situations. I would recommend "Hi, I'm Katie" or "Hi, my name is Katie" as the two best choices.

Great job!

This is just a short essay for what happened on my weekends.

Yesterday, I helped my friend move to a new place. We rented a U-haul, but it was not big enough. She has a lot of things like a bed frame, mattress, and bookcase. We went back and fourth three times. When I stepped into the elevator, I was holding a lot of things in my hands. I wanted to ask other people to push the floor 5 button for me, so I said ' Would you please press number 5 for me? Thanks.' And when the elevator stopped and opened on the 2nd floor, I made a big mistake, I didn't notice which floor it was and I walked out. When I noticed that was not the floor I pressed, I suddenly turned back and nearly hit the person who was supposed to go out on the 2nd floor. I saw him smiling at me. I thought I needed to say something, but I didn't. Could someone tell me what reaction would be appropriate for this situation? What should I have said? Maybe I should have smiled at him and said ' Oops, wrong floor.'

I was exhausted yesterday, when I woke up this morning I felt pain on my arms and wrist. The muscle on my arms and wrist hurt. So I stayed at home and watched some movies and TV shows on my bed all day. Tomorrow, I have to go to class, I really don't want to go.

I have one more question, If I want to introduce myself in an email, what should I say?
'Hi,
This is Katie from xxx. ' or ' I am Katie. ' or ' My name is Katie.'

To introduce yourself in an email you could start in numerous ways, some depend on what kind of email you want to send or your relationship with the recipient.

Start the email with:

- Greeting ("Dear Sir/Madam" or "Dear _____") *If you don't know the name of the recipient use "To whom it may concern,"

- Your introduction [If you haven't sent them an email before] ("This is Katie from xxx," or "My name is Katie and I am writing to enquire about" - Formal
