writting correction - recommaned letter from a trainer for applying further study
Dear Sir or Madam:
At the request of Miss Yang, a summer intern of my team at GL Law Firm, I am pleased to write this recommendation for her application to your postgraduate program.
Miss.Yang joined our team in July 2018 for a two-month internship, and she performed quite well during the internship period.
In terms of work ability, she was able to timely and methodically assist senior associates and partners to collect and classify the required documents, and conduct phone or face-to-face communication with courts and clients. She was able to think independently and actively learn from work, meanwhile, paperwork she helped to draft has effectively improved the work efficiency of the team. Further, I also appreciate her work attitude. Although it took her more than 90 minutes to commute, she was never late or left early. As a college student, she adapted quickly to the intense work of the law firm and cooperated with the team actively.
Based on her excellent performance during the internship, I am willing to be a referernce for her application for further study in law and look forward to your consideration of my recommendation.

You don't want to use simple past, because you're talking about a general piece of advice, not about a specific instance in the past. You can use either "is" or "will be" in the second part of the sentence - you're talking about the future, but sometimes we use simple present to talk about the future when giving advice.0 votedSeptember 8, 20180
- "Extravagant politicians' wives" is confusing because we do not know whether "extravagant" refers to "politicians" or to "wives." The phrase is not clear. If the writer is referring to the wives, it would be more clear to say, "The extravagant wives of politicians." But that does not sound natural in English. I would write something like, "Some politicians have wives who lead extravagant lives. ..." and go on from there.0 votedMarch 31, 20180
CAE - Writing Part 1 [Assessment Required #3]
Hey!
I've just done the Essay below, a review would be highly appreciated. The subject was the following: What type of book is more important to read nowadays?
- Fiction
- History
- Science
As usual, I had to write about two of the three points mentioned above and choose one.
--
Books are important to read, regardless of their genre. But what books are the most deserving of our attention?
Whether you want to showboat at a friend’s party or just plain broaden your knowledge of humankind, history books are full of nooks awaiting to be discovered. Not only do they give a better understanding of our world and where humanity stem from, but they also provide a sharp insight to our past. On top of that, and thanks to vulgarization, readers can now dive into complex stories filled with references, names and places in spite of their lack of knowledge of the subject.
On the other hand, science is often described as an obscure and dull field dedicated to scholars. Even though science books are necessary, there are not compulsory (here, you should elaborate on "compulsory" - as your reader, I would argue that science books *are* compulsory for science classes, and thus you have lost your authority as the writer -- that is, I will now start doubting other claims you are making in this essay. So, it's a good ideas so say something like "... are not compulsory for everyday life."). Should you find yourself sheepish and speechless when someone is asking you about the current quantic theory, no one would hold it against you. However, get asked who was the president of your country 50 years from now and you might find a pretext to head to the bathroom. It’s a fact, people tend to relate to down-to-earth stories and ideas they can grasp rather than abstract and obscure concepts made up of black holes and nano-technologies. (Be careful using "made up of" here -- you are saying that black holes and nano-technologies are the ingredients of concepts -- just as I might say, "The cake was made up of various ingredients." It would be better to write "... concepts about black holes and nano-technologies.")
In spite of the importance of science to ensure the perennity of our civilization, being knowledgeable in history will arm you with the best tools to get by in an ever-changing society. Not only will you absorb a substantial amount of facts about mankind, but you will also understand what is at stake in our modern world.NOTES:
(1) Be careful with capitalization in English. Check out https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/592/1/ for help with capitalization.
(2) Be careful about using informal words and expressions in formal academic writing. It is much better to just use formal words and phrases. For example, instead of writing "get asked ...," it is better to write something more formal such as "if you are asked ..." . Other words/expression you might want to make more formal:
* showboat
* just plain
* dive into
* sheepish
* hold it against you
* head to the bathroom
* it's a fact
