About Chinese:how to use 吗ma/呢ne correctly?

I remember when I taught a Korean guy Chinese,he asked me the question that：why sometimes Chinese people use 吗 to ask question,while sometimes they choose 呢 ?

Actually i'd never thought about that before,as it seems like i was born to know how to use them appropriately. In my opinion, when you ask "is/does/are/did/have.....or not?" and look forward to getting the "yes/no" answers, you should use 吗。 For example: 你吃饭了吗？---是的，我吃过了。 你是学生吗？---不是，我不是学生。 这个东西有用吗？----不，没有用。 你会游泳吗？-----是，我会游泳/不，我不会游泳。

if u ask "when/what/who/how/why......?" in Chinese, you need to use 呢. For instance: 几点去吃饭呢？---8点。 这是什么呢？----我不知道/这是苹果。 谁会游泳呢？-----我会/他会。 电影怎么样呢？-----很好/不错/不好。 为什么他迟到呢？-----他生病了。 Besides,if you ask "when/what/who/how/why...?" without using 呢，it also makes sense. However, if you use 吗 when you ask "when/what/who/how/why...?" ,or use 呢 when you ask "is/are/does/did/have....?", it is not appropriate.

can i say"reading books enables me to kick-back and relax"?

letter I wrote a letter to my friend who i met in India. Last year both of us did volunteering work in a school of an India village.She comes from Netherland and I am from China.Though we are from different countries,we became friends during the work. I haven't written letters by hand for a long time.Nowadays,people can contact with others by using cellphones and emails.However,writing letters,for me ,is the best way to keep in touch with best friends.

The factors of a satisfying job Nowadays,most of adults are involved in their full-day jobs, devoting a predominant part of their adult life to work. Job satisfaction is now claimed by adults to be one of the most significant elements of individual wellbeing. Everyone,especially graduates, are sparing no effort to grasp any opportunities of getting a satisfied job. The decent salary may be the crucial factor when they take account for a job. Should the salary of the job meet with their expectation, they would be pleased with it. Besides,the working atmosphere is also worth mentioning that a harmony and friendly environment are conducive to their working efficiency. What’s more, having a reasonable supervisor and supportive colleagues would help them learn something beneficial and accumulate working experience. Last but not least, the job must suit their talent and what they have learned in the school before. It is disputable that not only do we get jobs to live ourselves, but also we would like to realize our individual values. As we all known, from 2009 the whole world has been suffering from the economic crisis, though nowadays the situation is not as severe as before .In the present economic climate,the contraction between increasing demands of jobs and decreasing number of jobs is becoming more serious. The graduates are less likely to acquire a well-paid job ,which loses their confidence. To make things worse ,the salary ,in some degree ,is not as reasonable as they expected. To sum up,having an unsatisfied job is not the necessary presence of so called “failure”. Though the social reality is not so optimistic as we hope, by unceasing efforts and unyielding spirits ,then we are bound to achieve our goals and acquire a satisfied job ultimately.
