Second English homework
My work is nine-to-six. I have to clock in and clock out every day. We use a special cards, whereby top managers can see an entry time and an exit time of each office workers. I would like to find a flexible job because I have two little children. I also can't working in shifts. A lot of time I spent commuting. I lived in a small city near Moscow 7 years ago and I went to work by train every day. I would be happy to have part-time telecommuting but my current employer doesn't want to introduce telecommuting. I prefer active team work with human contact and problem solving. Now I'm looking for a new, stimulating and fascinating job. I work as an auditor and internal controller. When my job only requires checking the accounting system my work begins to be dull and boring. I don't like repetitive work and a routine is tiring for me. I am always ready for a demanding job. I hope my “soulmate” employer is waiting for me and I will find a satisfying and exciting job.

The 'to ask' part of the sentence simply tells the reader why you wanted to speak with Tom. The use is short hand to cut out longer sentences. In the long form you would say, 'I missed Tom. I wanted to ask what he wants to eat.'0 votedSeptember 29, 20150
- Yes you can! 'happy' is very plain so when talking about how a person makes you feel actually you should use something more descriptive than 'happy'. Personally I would say 'Just talking to her makes me shine like a diamond.' The combination of 'shine' and 'bright' is like repeating the same thing twice. Of course popular music adds in double words like that to make lyrics sound good while singing, but when talking or writing best to just use one.0 votedSeptember 29, 20151

SENT: 25 September
SUBJECT: Answers to your questions
Hi Rupert
I'm glad to hear that you are going to attend our school for a term. Yes, of course, I can answer all your questions.
Unfortunately we have no pool at our school, but there are three good swimming-pools in our city, one of them is not far from school.
There is a computer lab with over fifty modern computers connected to the Internet in our school. It's hours are from 10 am to 6 pm every day except Sunday but you can't use it for your personal purposes, only for your homework!
There also many after-school activities at our school. For example, I play basketball three times a week. My best friend plays chess and my younger sister goes to the drama club.
I like my school because I have a lot of friends there and I think our teachers are excellent too!
See you soon.

At the national mathematical modelling contest my team was about to give up after being stuck for 3 days but I refused to stop trying. I encouraged the team to divide the work and we finally found a picture online that perfectly explained the problem. I didn't sleep all night the last day of the contest to finish the paper but I didn't feel tired at all. The excitement of finding the solution in such a difficult challenge overcame the tiredness. We won second place!0 votedSeptember 26, 20151
