To Whom it May Concern,

     This is my recommendation letter for Mrs. Noor. She worked here for two years; from 22/1/2009 to 25/1/2011.

     What and excellent woman, with her high morals and her love for people of all ages! She has all the traits of modern women.

     For these reasons, I am awarding her this recommendation.

 

 

Overall, this recommendation letter is good! My only suggestion is that if this is a real recommendation letter, I would add more specifics about Mrs. Noor. What she did at her job and why she did well, for example.

Hello anne09! "Thank you for your help" usually only means "Thank you for giving help."

An easier way to say "Thank you for offering help" would be just "Thanks for offering" or "Thank you for offering."

Hi Cathrin! Technically you could as a nickname... but it's not used often. For example, when you use sweetheart as a nick name for your boyfriend or girlfriend you say, "Hi sweetheart!" Saying, "Hi sweet boy/girl!" though, is rarely used.

That phrase IS used often to describe someone, though. For example, you can say, "She is such a sweetheart!" OR "She is such a sweet girl!" and they would mean the same thing.

Does that help?

Hello! Good and nice generally mean the same thing depending on what you are referring to. It would be a personal preference to say if you had a good or nice year. However, if you are applying it to a person or pet it could mean two different things. For example, a good boy would mean that he is well behaved and respectful. A nice boy however, tends to mean that the boy is sweet and pleasant. Does this answer your question?

Hi newbie. In this case, set would be the word that you would use. Placed pretty much means the same thing and most of the time you can use either of them. When it comes to stories, though, the word "set" is used more often. You could use the word "placed" when you're talking about stories, but a better choice may be the phrase, "take(s) place." So your sentence would be: "I really enjoy stories that take place in the distant future." So, you're not wrong, really... the English language is just very picky. Does that answer your question?

You need the inverted commas because you are naming something. You do not need the indefinite article unless you are going to specify that it is a movie in your sentence. For example: I have seen "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets." OR I have seen the movie "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets."/ I have seen the "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" movie. The same rule applies for your second sentence. Does this answer your question?

The way you said it works, however you can say it two other ways that may be appropriate as well. You can say, "My first friends, first achievements and first disappointments are all connected with my school life." OR "My first friends, achievements and disappointments are all connected with my school life." With the second sentence, it is assumed that the word "first" applies to all three. Does that help?
