- A Letter for Selling Furniture Task1 You want to sell some of your furniture. You think a friend of yours might like to buy it from you. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter: 1 explain why you are selling 2 describe the furniture 3 suggest a date when your friend can come and see the furniture My writing: Dear Jenny, We haven’t get in touch for almost on month. I hope you are doing well. I am writing to ask if you need to buy some furniture to set in your new place. I have some furniture on sale recently, such as table, sofa, bed, and a set of stuff in kitchen. All of them are good quality and almost new, because I bought them only two months ago. I’ve never think about I would leave and go to another city to work before I got the offer of a highly paid job in an international company. So I have to sell them out. I really like them, especially the sofa. It is so soft and comfortable, with yellow and white stripes, makes me a good feeling whenever I see it. I guess you would love it. I hope you could com to my place this weekend and see if you like them when you are available, as I suppose you are the right person who needs it. Looking forward to meeting you again. Your truth, TinaMay 3, 201500
- Happiness Task2 Happiness is considered very important in life. Why is it difficult to define? What factors are important in achieving happiness? My writing: It is undeniable that happiness is one of the most frequently topics which have aroused heat discussion in the whole society for many years. Everyone asks what is happiness, but it seems nobody could make a clear define which can be agreed by most people. Why is it so difficult to define happiness? From my point of view, the main reason is happiness is a feeling that are very subjective. Therefore different people have different opinions on it. And another reason is happiness is so complicated that it is influenced by many things, such as health situation, judgments from other people, comparisons with the experiences people have before, and so forth. Since so many things cause people are happy or unhappy, it is necessary to figure out what factors are important for happiness. As far as I am concerned, there are two main factors. Firstly and most importantly, experience is significant for people to feel happy or not. Because it can impact people’s attitudes towards the things they meet. In other words, it is possible that people would have different feelings even in same situation. For example, two persons have the same paid in the same company, but one are very happy for the high salary while another complains it is not enough for daily life. That is because the latter lives more expensive life than the former before. Secondly, happiness also depends on the situation that people are in. Situation includes not only what are happening now, what happened before and what will happen, but also social environment, places they live, culture and so on. For instance, a cake means nothing and it is hard to make someone happy. But when they are hungry or starve, they would miss it so much and imagine if they can have one that would be the best thing in the world and feel very glad. To conclude, happiness is hard to define because of its complication and subject. However, experience and situation take very important role in the feeling of happiness.May 3, 201500
我的猫
我有一只猫,黑色和白色,老和明智的。他是室外的猫,我喜欢。猫是独立的。有些人不喜欢这一点,但我认为它是正面。他的名字叫L.B. ('小獝')。我说他是明智的因为在我们这附近有野狼,他们不能抓到他,吃了他。我觉得他是比狼更聪明。他不是怕狗。当犬吠时,他看着他们好像在说 ‘为什么你做树皮-它是无用'。**************
以下是如果想表达同样的内容,我会怎么写,仅供参考:)小建议:如果有英文版本给修改的人参考,可能会更方便,比如我看不懂“做树皮”是什么意思,呵呵:)

我的猫
我有一只猫,黑白色,有点老并且聪明。他经常在外面活动,我喜欢这点。猫是独来独往的动物,有些人不喜欢这一点,但我认为这是他的优点。他的名字叫L.B. ('小獝')。我说他聪明是因为我们这附近的野狼都不能抓住他,吃了它。我觉得他比狼聪明。他不怕狗。当狗(朝着他)叫时,他看着他们,好像在说:“你们为什么这么做,这样根本没用”。0 votedMay 2, 20150- like or dislike change Task2 Some people prefer to spend their lives doing the same things and avoiding change. Others, however, think that change is always a good thing. Discuss both their views and give your own opinions *********************************************************************************************************** My writing: Some people like to spend their lives doing the same things while others love to have changes in their lives. Both sides have their advantages and disadvantages. For the people who don’t like change, they can focus on special areas for a long time. By doing so, they can accumulate their knowledge and experiences in a particular field. Furthermore, they generally form their stable social group/circle, which benefit not only their career but also their daily life. However, they might miss some chances to know other things which could be more suitable for them. For the people who think charge is a good thing, they can try many new things and compare which is their best love. There are lots of example who changed their careers or choices many times finally became very successful talents. At the same time, too many changes have some adverse impact for them, because they are always novices when they jump into a different field. As far as I am concerned, changing the things you are doing has different effect for different people. It is necessary for people are doing some creative jobs. Change means something new or creativity. However, for the people like stable social environments and doing jobs need longtime researches and practices, focus would be much more significant in their life. In conclusion, our society need different types of attitudes towards to change, since the society itself is various.May 2, 201520
- a letter for changing an appointed day Task1 You’ve just been oared a job, but you will not be able to start work on the appointed day. Write a letter to your boss explaining the problem and asking for an alternative day to start work. ***************************** My writing: Dear Sir or Madam, Thanks for giving me the opportunity to join the quality department as a quality engineer, I am writing this letter to ask if we can delay the appointed day to start work. As you know, I am in charge of preparing the ISO9001 Audit in last company. This audit is so important that there has to be a person who need to be very familiar with the ISO standard and the situation of the company’s quality system. Before we talk about when I can start my work, I had transferred this job to a colleague of mine. But my last boss called me today and told me this colleague was ill and need to stay in hospital until this weekend. I need to deal with the work for him these days. So could we start work on next Monday instead of this Friday? I am so sorry for the inconvenience for you. You sincerely, TinaMay 2, 201500

你们好,这是我在italki的第一天,希望可以交到很多朋友。
我是美国德州的一个大学生,现在学习商务。我跟我的弟弟住在公寓。这是我的第二个学期,学习核算、电子商务、经济学、商务统计学,和商务职业素质。我不喜欢数学,所以核算和统计学有一点儿难和没意思(枯燥)。我觉得别的三个课也没意思-哈哈,我觉得我有点旅游癖。
我在美国加州学习了一年半的中文。那个时候,我住在蒙特雷。蒙特雷是一个很美的城市,在海滩。每个周末我会去散步,经过市区、海滩和树下。我需要休息,因为课程很难。每周,每天,我们从早上八点到下午四点学习中文。每个早上有一个下考,每个周有一个大考。课后学生们还需要多学习差不多两个钟头。那个学校给我们很多压力,你总是觉得你需要加班,总是怕会(考试)失败。所以周末的时候学生们需要休息。一些学生打游戏机,一些去派对,我散步。我觉得加州有非常自然的美丽,所以经常散步,游泳,远足。现在我在德州,我觉得加州更有活力了,那是为什么我这么喜欢这个地方的原因。
当然,德州也有她独有的美丽。德州的美是更干爽和平坦。这是我的老家,我长大的地方。圣安东尼奥市的日落很美,罗贝壳市风很大。校园里有雪!在德州!我爱德州和加州,可是我认为那不够。我想看全世界,从塞维利亚到上海,奥斯陆到约翰内斯堡。我要去中国,然后日本。0 votedApril 25, 20150
