Please correct spelling and grammartical errors in the letter. Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing this email to inform you of the possible impact the new plan to expand the local airport has on our community and me. I resides beside the middle of the airport runway where airplanes usually take off. I have been living here for 5 years now and enduring the noise since I have lived here. The noise is bearable when it occurs during the day but if it occurs during the night, it will not be able to sleep. I and my community members have been complaining about the noise for years but when we heard the new plan, we thought that you had not been listening to us at all. We firmly oppose to the new plan as it will mean an increase in the number of flights, which will make a lot more noise . This will directly and inevitably impact our lives. We ask you to listen to the residents of our suburb and re-consider the development. Your Faithfully, Yeoungmin Gwon

Could you please correct spelling and grammartical errors and unnatural expressions in the essay? Essay topic: "It is generally accepted that families are not as close as they used to be." Give some reasons why this change has happened and suggest how families could be brought closer together. Essay: In modern society, families are not as close as they used to be in the past. There is a number of reasons why the phenomenon occurs. First of all, people in general have become busier than before and as a result, they have less time to spend with their family. In this modern society, many people spend the majority of their time on working and, their work and family commitments have increased. This makes it hard for people to visit their parents and relatives. Second of all, there are some social forces that have contributed to the phenomenon as well. For example, many people think that family traditions are not as important as before and big families such as nuclear family no longer exist. In addition, a grown-up person who lives independently away from his or her family is considered to be normal in modern society. As a consequence, many young people live away from their family when they become adults. Having more frequent family events and gatherings could be one way to bring families closer together. Meeting on a family member's birthday is a good time to get family members together. Moreover, it would be good to organise sporting events where all family members participate and enjoy playing sports. Perhaps the most important thing to bring families closer together would be to realise how important families are and to be ready to sacrifice their time. I have always been enjoying the time with my family and relatives on special days such as the New Year's day. We enjoy playing traditional games and eating traditional foods. I firmly believe that meeting on traditional days such as the New Year's day and Christmas would be the best to bring families closer together as they share common family traditions and culture.

Please correct spelling and garmmartical errors and unnatural expressions in the short letter Dear Sam, I am writing this letter to inform you that I need to withdraw from your evening Chinese language course. As I told you on the first day of the course earlier this month, I am working full time and it seems that I have reached a point where I cannot juggle between work and study. Yesterday at work, I was given a warning from my boss that if I continue to show unprofessional behaviours such as sleeping and not listening to the boss during a staff meeting, I would be fired. He also said that I would be undertaking a project, which is of high importance. As a result, I need to withdraw from your course and concentrate on work for a few months. Once I finish the project and become capable of juggling work and study, I will re-take your course. I apologise for any inconvenience my withdrawal might cause. Thank you for your assistance. Best wishes, Yeong

Please correct spelling and grammartical errors and unnatrual expressions in the short essay Essay Topic: "Nowdays we are producing more and more rubbish. Why do you think this is happening? What can governments do to help reduce the amount of rubbish?" Essay: In the 21st century, we are more affluent than ever before. As a result, many people spend money no unnecessary goods, some of which are hardly ever used and thrown away in the bin. The amount of rubbish we produce is increasing due to the following reasons. First of all, people are now wealthier than ever before and therefore, they spend money on goods and items that make them happy. For example, many people buy more clothes and shoew than they neeed and some rich people have a wide range of clothes and shoes that are barely used. This spending habit is often driven by consumerism in society, which encourages and lures people into buying excessive amount of products. People are often attracted by luxurious accessories and clothes worn by celevbrities. Secondly, we are producing more rubbish because of treade with other nations and an economic theory that claims supply creates demand. In wealthy countries, a lot of products are usually imported from developing nations where labour is cheap. Therefore, people in wealthy nations can buy products cheaper than they would have been if they were prudced in their country. There are several actions that governments can take to help reduce the amount of rubbish. Governments can implement a policy that restrict the amount of rubbish individuals and corporates can throw per week. For example, if the maximum amount of rubbish they can throw is 2 rubbish bins per week, they will be fined if they do not comply with the rule. Furthermore, governments can make campaigns that raise awareness about the amount of rubbish we produce and the consequences of producing excessive rubbish and how harmful it can be to our environment. Besides, government can limit the amount of products coming into their countries from outside by placing quotas on certain products that tend to become rubbish quickly. When I was young, I was told by my teacher not to throw away my school uniform and give it to other students. This helped reduce the amount of school uniform waste. In conclusion, there are many reasons why we are producing more rubbish these days. However, if governments implement policies appropriately and timely, the amount of rubbish will be reduced.

Could anyone correct spelling and grammartical errors and unnatural expressions in the letter please This is a letter sent to my friend. Please let me know if the expressions in the letter are too formal or informal. Dear Alex, I hope this finds you well and your family. I am sorry that I have not been in touch with you for the last couple of weeks. I have a surprising news for you - I moved to a new house last week! As I told you earlier this year, I had a lot of troubles with the landlord in the previous house because of noise he made almost every night. As you know, I am a morning person so I usually go to bed at 10 pm. The landlord played guitar nearly every night and I could not put up with it so I eventually moved out last week. Although my previous house is better located as it is closer to univeristy, I like my new house much better as there is no noise at all. Every housemate is so police and nice and they respect each other. I also like my spacious room and a pool in the backyard. There is a big bbq area in the frontyard as well and it is free to use for the tenants. I would like you to come and visit my new house sometime next week. Please let me know what day you are available. I look forward to talking to you soon. Best wishes, Yeong

Could anyone correct spelling and grammartical errors and unnatural expressions in the letter? Dear John, I am writing this email to inform you that I need to take some time off work next week. This is because I have a couple of exams next week at university. As I told you earlier this year, I started doing Master of Business course at a local university last Feburary to gain a solid understanding about how a business works. I have not been able to put a lot of effort in my study due to work. Therefore, I would like to ask if I could have the whole next week off to catch up on study and prepare for the exams. I firmly believe that skills and knowledge I earned from doing this course would contribute to our company and I hope to become a more skilled staff. I have already talkted to my co-worker Susan about this and asked her if she could cover my work for next week. She hasn't replied me yet but as soon as I receive her email, I will let you know. Thank you for your understanding and assistance. Best wishes, Yeong

Could anyone correct spelling and grammartical errors in the letter please? The letter below is semi-formal. If you could find some unnatural expressions and give me some suggestions about what expressions would be better, that would be great! Dear Alex, I would like to let you know that I have recently changed my job. I started to work as a language teacher at a local high school and I teach year 8 and 11 Chinese. So far, I've been really enjoying it. How is your life going Alex? I hope eveything goes well with you. As I told you earlier this month, I didn't really like my previous job as an accountant. I didn't like the amount of pressure that my boss put on me during the end of the financial year and I was really stressed about the never-ending workloads. Besides, I didn't want to work overtime even though they paid me more. I really wanted to spend night time with my family as family-first is my motto. This is the biggest reason why I changed my job. In my new job, I don't have to work overtime and I have more free time as long as I do what I have to do during my work hours - marking student assessments and creating lesson plans for next day. Because I've changed my job, I had to move out and find a new place near the school I work at. So now I am living in Maroochydore. How's everything going in your life Alex? I am keen to hear how you went with your English test last week! Best Wishes, Yeong

Could you please correct spelling and grammartical errors and unnatural expressions in my essay? If you could give me some advice on how the essay could have been better (e.g. coherence and so on), that would be greatly appreciated. Essay topic: "Some people think that the teenage years are the happiest times of most people's lives. Others think that adult life brings more happiness in spite of greater responsbiilities. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. Essay: Many people consider their teenage years to be the happiest times of their lives for many reasons such as not having to bear responsibilities of their behaviour and having a lot of free time. On the other hand, some adults think that they are happier now than they were when they were young. I think that individuals define happiness differently and therefore it is really hard to say what stage of people lives is the happinest. I personally feel that I was happier when I was a teenager. One of the reasons why people say they were happier in the past is that they did not have to bear any major responsibilities or commitments. As a school kid, they were looked after by teachers and parents and thus their level of stress would have been low. Moreover, kids had a lot of free time after school and they were able to experience and do diverse activities as part of their school curriculum with their peers. The teenage years are often seen as the stage of finding out what they like and what they are curious about, therefore the experience they had in the teenage years might be felt as more precious or memorable. In contrast, some people say that they are more satisfied with their adult lives now despite having to bear greater responsibilities. Most adults know what they are into and thus know what to do to feel happy and pleased. Adults also have more freedom than teens, which means that they re free to do things that make them happy. Furthermore, adults are not controlled by parents or age limit, so they have greater access to activities such as watching age restricted movie and drinking a beer. In other words, they have much more freedom, which arguably has a high correlation with happiness. In conclusion, individuals have different opinions as to whether their teenage years were happier than their adult lives depending on the circumstances they were under when they were young. It is important to note that everyone has different ways of finding happiness and there possibly cannot be one definite answer to the question. Thank you for taking time to read the long eesay!
