I'm trying to broaden my understanding of Chinese and Chinese culture. Both mainland and Hong Kong. I'm a native English speaker, living in England so happy to talk to anyone wanting to learn or wanting to practice English.

    An interesting circumstance

    I live in a big community. There are lots of young couples with their babies. Most of these couples are office workers. When they left home for work, their kids were taken care of by grandparents or a nanny. In all of the sunny days, you can see lots of these kind of combinations of grandparents or nanny with someone else's children, all across the square. When you walk through it, you couldn't help but think: My! Am I in a kindergarten or children's park?

    Looks good to me, although a couple of minor changes might help: Not only has this experience helped me to gain a better understating of analytical chemistry, but it has also introduced me to different validation protocols, quality systems, guidelines and standardization bodies.

    Hi, I'm not sure if you would like comments on the introductory text or just the letter? For both parts of the text I'm not quite sure why there is so much capitalisation of words, capitalisation should be used sparingly. In particular, a formal letter should not use capitals unless it is the name of something, such as a company. In the intro text, can not is usually written as one word i.e. cannot. Additionally, full stops are not normally included within a pair of brackets, they should go just outside, but this is quite minor. On the letter, it should start as I am rather than I AM, no capitalisation is needed. Also, and this may be a personal thing, but I would say either I am looking forward to...or I am anticipating but not both, as they both have a similar meaning. Formal letters usually don't use colons, a comma would be more appropriate, for instance it should be - Just think, after all these years... Finally, letters to someone a person knows, which is the case here, are usually finished by 'Yours sincerely' as 'Yours faithfully' is usually to someone who you are not acquainted with. For instance, if you were applying for a job, it might be addressed to 'Dear Sir or Madam' and finished 'Yours faithfully'. Hope that helps
