"Under way" is similar to saying "in progress" - I wouldn't use "working" as a synonym. Like: Students are busy because exams are under way. Building construction is under way.

"Guys" - technically, it means males, usually used to refer to young men. However, if someone uses "Hello guys!" or "Hi guys!" in a casual context, it's the same as saying "Hi everyone!". Just don't use it like that in a formal setting.

A "vice" in this case means a weakness. It is often used for something that might be considered wrong in some way, like smoking or drinking alcohol. The dictionary defines it as: bad or immoral behavior or habits a moral flaw or weakness a minor bad habit http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/vice

Typically, a "breakout" would mean you got a lot at once. If someone does not get them a lot though, they may use it even when they just got one or two.

In the The early 20th century, Frederick Taylor claimed developed "Scientific Management." Taylor was an engineer and tried to adjust the scientific way of thinking to management. His approach was the great work and remarkable.

However, if when trying to adjust apply scientific management to the a real business, many problems were happened occurred. Because human beings are not machines, workers feel pain and stress while with completely planned and calculated working.

Scientific Management has meanings methods for measuring the quality of working, but Scientific Management is not enough for running the a real business.

 

Hi Kuu3,

I'll try to explain some of the corrections, hopefully that helps:

 

"claimed" - This is usually used when you are taking ownership of something that already exists. For example, if there was a cookie on the table and I "claimed" it, that means it's mine. :) In this case, Frederick Taylor made something new, so I used "developed".

 

"the great work" - By saying it's remarkable, you are already saying that the work was great, so I just took this section out.

 

"However, if" - I changed the "if" to "when" because it sounds like he actually tried it. "If" could make it sound like he planned it, but never actually tried.

 

"adjust" - I changed it to "apply" because to adjust means that you're changing something. Apply means that you're using it. For example, you could apply a wrench to a nut to changed something, like Taylor applied Scientific Management to a business.

 

"the real business" - I changed it to "a real". If we were talking about the specific business he applied it to, I could use "the", but since it could have been any business, I used "a".

 

"were happened" - You can take out "were" completely. "Happened" can be used, but "occurred" sounds a little more formal, which matches up with the rest of the writing better.

Hi Chris, I would use these: Port - for the thing that you would connect the wire to. For example, if you look at the back of a computer, those are all "ports". http://www.coolnerds.com/newbies/ports/ports02.jpg Plug - for the connection on the end of a cable. You may also hear this called a "connector" http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Usb_connectors.JPG Jack - I usually only hear this used for phone cables and CAT5/CAT6 cables, but I thought I should mention it since you asked about data cables too. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d7/Ethernet_RJ45_connector_p1160054.jpg

It's been a long time since I wrote a notebook entry last time.
I have been busy these days to get getting used to my new job, but I'm enjoying learning new things and make a making new relationships with my coworkers.

Now, I decided to get another qualification to improve my skill in work. I'm going to have an examination next year, and I have to write 20 reports in about 5 months to take an exam. That would be a hard work for me.

To keep working while raising child is difficult, but I want to try it. I like my job, and of cause course I love my family! I'll enjoy my challenge.

 

Hi Marie,

Here are some notes on the corrections:

"last time" - I took that out of the end of the sentence because it was not needed. Since you already said it has beeng a long time, it's implied that you are reffering to the last time you made an entry.

 

"to get" - I would use "getting" here instead since it's something you are continually doing.

 

"make a new relationship" - Since "coworkers" is plural, it sounds more correct to use the plural form "relationships" too. I also changed "make" to "making" since you're describing something you continually do (like "getting").

 

"cause" - Just a small misspelling - plenty of native speakers make little mistakes like this too :)

 

I'm sure it is hard working and raising a child. Your English learning seems to be going very well though. I wish you the best in your new job and with your family!
