Great job! The maining of this e-mail is clear all the way through. When the second part of a sentence explains the reason for an action in the first part of the sentence we usually use 'so' instead of 'for'. Keep up the good work!

A piece of work about my study studies...

The formation of Chinese city morphology, with its rigid symmetry and formalized symbolism, was based on the guidelines of Rites of Zhou, chapter 'Kao Gong Ji'. Rites of Zhou was actually a work on bureaucracy and organizational theory and, in chapter 'Kao Gong Ji' ,it was documented a set of assignments and guidelines were compiled by realm officials officially, acting to act as an official technical regulation.

When we talk about a topic we are studying we generally refer to it in the plural sense ('my studies'). The phrase 'my study' usually refers to a room in a person's house which is used for studying.

Also, when we want to give a piece of information in a sentence which isn't necessary for the sentence to work, we often put two commas around it. For example, 'The formation of Chinese city morphology, with its rigid symmetry and formalized symbolism, was based on the guideline of Rites of Zhou...'. You can see that the sentence does not need 'with its rigid symmetry and formalized symbolism' to work. If we read 'The formation of Chinese city morphology was based on the guidelines of Rites of Zhou...' the sentence reads just fine. Still, the extra information is nice, so we can surround it with a comma on each side to show the this is just a little extra information we have included but not the main poiint of the sentence.

Very good work though! The meaning is clear and it's very well written. Well done!

An informal letter. In reply to a friend's email

Hey Sam!

Thanks for your email. I’m glad to hear that all our classmates will be able to come to the party. I’m sure we’ll have a nice time.

Firstly, I’m happy to tell you that I know some guys who could be invited for to the occasion. They are young, energetic and cool, though not so popular. And it won’t cost that much for us. The meaning of this part of the message is a little unclear. When you say 'not so popular' it suggests that people don't really like these guys. When you say 'And it won't cost that much for us' I would guess you are trying to say 'Inviting them won't cost us anything.'

By the way, I called Mike and he will organise food for the party. His uncle is the owner of some a local restaurant and they are glad to offer a great discount for meals. (You could say 'some', people often speak like that although it's not technically correct. 'a' is better though.)

I also thought through your idea about making it a fancy dress party. I think we need to set the theme of it. How about a mexican style? Isn’t that great?

Let me know if you need anything else.

Best,
Egor

Overall, this is a really excellent use of English. Apart from one line the meaning is clear and the grammar is really great. Great job!

Would someone correct my English?

Hi there, how's it going?

I plan to apply to the university in the UK.
Sentences below are from my paper.
I need your help to correct them.
I am especially worried about grammar and the use of ":".

"I am particularly attracted by your distinctive feature: offering the opportunity to learn the marketing skills from both theoretical and analytical aspects. I am especially interested in A and B modules A and B. These will be very beneficial to me and ideal to gain for gaining a deeper understanding of practical analysis skill to analyse customer’s potential needs."

Note: You don't need to use a colon ( : ) here as it sounds more natural without it. However, if you really wanted to use it, you have used it correctly. Well done :)

I would make it more clear by saying 'I am attracted by your institution's distincitive feature' or 'I am attracted by your course's distinctive feature'.

Or you can change the colon for an 'of', as suggested above.

Good luck! If you need any more help you feel free to contact me directly :)

The story about cat of Dewey the cat

This is my first English book-DEWEY.

Dewey is was a cute cat raised up by a librarian. (This sentence was in the PRESENT TENSE, which was fine until I read the next line and realized the rest of the story is in the PAST TENSE. Both are fine but you need to be consistent.)
There was a servere, cold winter,.
One day, Dewey was abandoned in a returning book box at least one day, when a lady the librarian went to work in the next morning, Dewry almost die due to the cold weather.

After their the attentive care of the librarian,
Dewey survived and to be became more active!
Everyone in that the town all know there a knew the chief librarian, and her cat Dewey, who was always with her. there and accompany with them.
He can was always warming people's hearts. (If there is more than one person then there is more than one heart, so we use the plural.)

It's The book is meaningful for to me, because it was
Because it's also my birthday gift from my brother few years ago.  (This should all be on the same line.)

Whenever I practice my language, I always imagine that Dewey is also by my side. and courage encouraging me.
Cheer up. (This doesn't really make sense. You could say 'It cheers me up.' if you want but the end is already nice without it.)

GREAT JOB! Very nice work and not many mistakes :)

One day without WiFi

What does people do to entertain themselves without the Internet？That's This is what I was pondering after living a day without WiFi. Whoops! Actually I did connect to some wifi for 1 or 2 hours in the Starbucks. And my answer is that I feel like an ape who has just falls to the landed on Earth without knowing what's going on and what people are laughing at.
However, I somehow felt glad to be able to concentrate on making my favorite potato salad. Looking and looking at those the plants I planted in on the balcony,. I felt excited that a baby tiny leaf was coming out sprouting. Besides, reading I also read a book which that I have always wanted to finish, which made makes me feel deeper in thought.
So, maybe I should rearrange my time schedule. In addition to peppering my life with social networks and fun youtube videos, I could also make myself busy with things that have physical entities like a book or nice food. (Underlined - What you've said works but it might be better to say 'in the physical world' or 'in the real world'.

I haven’t got anything on this afternoon, so I will go to bed early. (underlined - did you mean 'this evening'? Both are okay but evening makes more sense given the rest of the sentence.)
