    Family member who I like (Speaking)

    I like my mother. She has a brown short wave* hair and high is pretty similer (similar) to me. She wears red clouthes many times frequently, so I think she likes red colour*. she is good at cooking. When i was young, I saw her cooking in the kitchen every day , so I wanted to have a great cooking skill like her. At that time, my dream is* cook. One of my favorite things about her is that she always smiles at people. Most people who meet my mother say she is so positive and lively. She is generouse and kind. Sometimes It looks little tire*, but I like the way she is. On the other hand, my father is puiet quite conservative. When I got a scolding by my father, my mom gave me relief. Before I came to Canada, my father didn't want me to study abroad, but my mother tried to persuade him. And then, I was able to come here.

     

    *Adjectives usually come in this order:

    General opinion; Specific opinion; Size; Shape; Age; Colour; Nationality; Material.

                               SIZE  SHAPE  COLOUR 

    Example: "She has short, wavey, brown hair..."

     

    *the colour red =Adjective before noun

     

    *was to become a chef (or cook) You need was because you are talking in the past. 

     

    *Maybe you want to say, "Sometimes she looks a little tired"?

    Here is something that might help! Use "to" when there is some kind of transfer happening or something is being moved from one place to another. "To" expresses direction. Here are a few examples: "We went from the restaurant to the party." "Talk to your teacher and get more information about the exam." "I go to the office every morning at 9am." 1) Use "for" when something is being done to benefit something or someone else. 2) Use "for" when you are trying to express purpose or the reason that something is happening Examples: "I bought this gift for you." "He runs for his health." "Bring this tea upstairs for your grandmother."

    An eternal company =)

    It's very rare that I write about my family or people who I know. But I must talk about my twin sister... yes, I have a twin sister. Everybody says us that we are very similar physically: same ears, same eyes, same hair, same voice and more...

    It's funny because until this year I was always be with her, she was an eternal company during my life and I didn't know how it would be to be alone. When I was a child I asked myself how people could travel by bus or go out alone; and when I imagine that situation I think that it would be very boring! because you could not talk or laugh with somebody anyone (I remember I always laughed with her on my travel going way to school).

    I must add that I really get along well with her but we are really different! Not only physically but also psychically*; well I always think that each person is unique. We have different styles and ways of thinking... but far* inspite of that, I had really good moments with her.

     

    *or "in the way we think" 

    * I think that inspite is what you want to say here "a pesar de" 

     

    Great job! If you have any questions on the corrections send me a message and I would be happy to help!

    I have to make this opportunity efficient.

    These days, I can back home early about 6:00 PM. So, I have a lot of time to do anything. Of course I should study English using this opportunity, but I can't stop youtube. Someone tell me how can I be serious person? I'm really lack of strong mind.

     

    I have to take advantage of this opportunity.

     

    These days, I come home early, about 6:00 PM. 

     

    Of course I should use this opportunity to study English

     

    But I can't get off youtube

     

    Can someone tell me how I can be a disciplined person?

     

    I lack discipline. 

     

    Keep up the English study! Your doing well!

    Farewell Letter

    I want to bid farewell to you all and inform you that I am leaving XXXX Company until* the end of Octember (October)2015. I would like to introduce A , who will take over my duty and temporarily use my existing email address.

    I have enjoyed working for this company and I appreciate having had* this wonderful opportunity to work with you all.

    However, I feel that it is time for me to move on to new opportunities. This decision was not an easy one and it took a lot of consideration. I think this decision is in the best interests towards* fulfilling my career goals. I want to do my best in completing my existing responsibilities and then ensuring a smooth transition.

    Finally, I would like to thank you xxxxx Company , and all others for the help and toleration during all these years.

    Best Wishes,
    xxx
     
    * "I am leaving XXXX Company until the end of..." This is good grammar, however I don't think it is what you want to say. This phrase means "I am leaving for a while but I will be back at the end of October" But the rest of the letter is saying that you are leaving the company and will not be back. So "I am leaving xxxx Company at the end of October 2015", is more accurate. 
     
    * Sometimes words like grateful/thankful/appreciate are interchangeable. However in this context I think that thankful fits best. "I am thankful for having had this wonderful opportunity..." 
     
    A good rule to go by is: grateful/appreciate are usually used when you receive a benefit from a PERSON. 
    Example= "I am grateful for all that you have done for us" or "I appreciate all that you have done for us" 
     
    Thankful is usually used when you receive a benefit from a THING or SITUATION. 
    Example= "I am thankful that it did not rain today" (grateful/appreciate would not work in this example)
     
    Like I said, the words can be interchangeable but this rule should help you sound more natural. 
     
    * "in the best interest towards fulfilling my career goals." The prepositional phrase "in the best interest of..." is used when referring to A PERSON or something with a personal identity like a company. Example: My best interest, your best interest, their best interest, the companies best interest. 
     
    The reason for this is because only <em>people </em>can truly have interests in something. Career goals do not have interests.
     
    I would recommend "I think this decision is in my best interest towards fulfilling my career goals" or simply "I think this decision is best for fulfilling my career goals" 
     
    I hope that is CLEAR and HELPFUL! Keep going because your English is great!

    Hello! Just thought I would help you a little, 

    "I wish my English could get better and that I could speak more fluently"

    or

    "I hope my English can get better and I can speak more fluently" 

     

    The rest is good! I hope your English gets better too!
