A Reference Letter for Applying Graduate School
Dear Admission Committee,
I have known Wen-hsin for one year in my capacity as the Manager of Sales Management Section of Topview Optronics Corporation. As a sales assistant, Wen-hisn impressed me with her diversified abilities and positive work attitude.
Wen-hisn has excellent language skills in English and Japanese, and she is also a helpful and responsible staff member. She is highly proficient in working with colleagues in different sections and communicates well (decently can sound negative) with foreign customers to tackle critical problems like customer complaints and shipments delivery. Her statistical reports for sales and payments are precise and concise. At a personal level, she shares her work experience with coworkers and maintains a good relationship with them.
Wen-hisn accepts all challenges from work and provides suggestions to (to who?) improve job efficiency. She demonstrated a 15-minute long English oral presentation to introduce our company profile and product features. Each section of her presentation was readily understandable and emphasized on the important parts. She also finds out problems at work and gives the advice to others in order to improve the working process.
When Wen-hsin told me her desire to study abroad, I appreciated her motivation and encouraged her to work hard to pursue her goals. In all of these areas, Wen-hsin has performed beyond expectations. I am pleased to recommend Wen-hsin as a suitable and capable candidate to pursue a Master’s degree in e-Business at The University or Warwick.0 votedJuly 26, 20171My job experience(1)
After I came back from Dublin, I decided to go to another country on a working holiday again. (You said 'another' so there is no need to add 'again')
But I thought I needed some skill in order to get a job easily.
As I was interested in coffee, I decided to become barista in Japan firstly.
I applied for several cafes and one of a the cafes gave me a chance to interview!
Then they hired me.
The cafe is located in the Roppongi area, there are many embassy around the cafe.
The Majority of customers were foreigners so that I could easily practise my English while working there too.
Good job! Keep working hard and practicing every day. :)0 votedJuly 25, 20170- Think about different situations: 1. I need his help to conduct my research. Here, you may need his help to start your research (in order to... conduct my research). 2. I need his help in conducting my research. In this situation, you need his help- but long term. You need his help for the whole project, maybe.0 votedJuly 25, 20172
- Hi Dinghui, 1. Are you familiar with the "bell curve" concept? The word "curve" here is used in a similar context. The author is trying to say that the drug itself will not heal or battle the epidemic of Ebola. The more important factor is the relationship between health workers and the general population. 2. The word "stakes" here is similar to the phrases "high stakes". Something that has high stakes has a small chance of being very successful, but also has a chance of great loss. A good example is in poker- in a game where the stakes are high, the player might win a lot of money, but also might lose a lot of money. It is high risk, dangerous, and has a potential for big wins or big losses. So in this situation, climate change is an issue where the stakes are high- there is a big possibility that the seas will rise and humans will be in great danger.0 votedJuly 25, 20173
I would also like to mention that language is always evolving and change like this is only natural. Change happens due to the need for brevity, and also sometimes to make sentences flow more easily.
A few examples; "Who are you talking to?" might've sounded uneducated in the past, but now it sounds natural. It completely ignore the old fashioned rule that sentences should never end with a preposition.
We also don't use "whom" often anymore, sticking to "who".
We also are starting to use "their" as a singular pronoun more and more often- "students should get their jacket" rather than "students should get his or her jacket".
It's generally agreed upon that the double negative in language serves to add emphasis to the sentence, rather than being completely incorrect. "can't get no satisfaction" sounds much more upset than just "can't get any satisfaction" (plus it makes a better song).
Yous- having a plural form of "you" that is short and easy to say sounds fine to me- plenty of languages have a plural form of "you". It makes sense that English should have one too. In different parts of the US, people use different words "Y'all" "youse" "you guys" "yinz".
Then for the "we was"- losing the conjugational distinction isn't too much of a surprise, English has been heading that way for generations. We no longer say "thou sayest" <- the "est" distinction used to be an important part of English. "He don't", We was, etc.. it's just simplifying the language.
Language changes! If it didn't change, we'd all be speaking Old English.
I can see how it might be difficult for ELLs, seeing how many students are taught really strange grammar rules that we don't think about (like when to use each pronounciation of the word 'the' is it 'thee' or 'da'?) But it also shouldn't be something that you should look down on people for. I'm sure that if these people met an ELL, they could easily switch to a more Standard English.0 votedJuly 16, 20170JUST A DIARY ON FEB.28TH
I want someone to correct my diary. Could you do that for me, please?
JUST A DIARY ON FEB.28TH
At last, (yesterday night,) I quit my part-time jobs which I have been worked for about 4 years yesterday at night. I'm really sad so bad because I was excited to do my job. (I was also) Feeling so happy, though, as my boss gaves me some gift when just I went back home. Thank you guys so much for 4 years.Notes: "yesterday at night" ----> "quit part time job" these two should be next to each other!

Today is Tuesday. So, it is a working day. However, today is the national holiday and the memorial day of Korea. Very unfortunately, in 1919, Korea was ruled by Japan. To resist against Japan, our independent fighters recited a declaration in Korea to let the world know. In addition, large crowds were gathered and resisted against Japan by waving Korean flags. To remember this day, our government decided to make this day a holiday . I hang the flag on the outer wall of my house. I like to hang the Korean flag on national holidays. I am very proud that I am Korean. Even though many years passed, we still have an uncomfortable mind between Japan and Korea about this historical issue. I think that it will take a long time to solve this problem between two countries.
Anyway, I will enjoy this holiday with my wife. We will take a walk beside the river where it is closed my house. While talking about my sons and other issues, we can see the landscape of this river and the city that is located in front of this river. Then we will have a lunch at a restaurant. It is good method to make her happy. She likes very much to eat out.
Unfortunately, even though, today is the holiday, due to some jobs of the my company, I have to use about one hour to do this job. I can not delay it. This job is related with dedicated date (This job has a established due date). It makes some problems on my private holidays. However, it is my job so I have no choice.
Even though, I have some block points to enjoy these holidays, I will enjoy my life.Some notes:
"Like very much"- is not commonly used in English, instead, you can use "really like". I really like to go to the movies.
The first time you introduce a noun, use "a" not "the".
