Hi there. I read it from a fiction by Kellerman: A few men passed, a few men sat in the dirt. The sun was even hotter. I wonder why a comma can combine the two sentences. Thank you for answering.

is it correct? I read it on a test sheet. Peter doesn't eat ______ beef ______ chicken.  Do you have any fish dish?　 A.  both; and B.  neither; nor C.  either; or D.  not only; but also the book's answer is C.

I wana make sure if I can write this way or if there is any grammar problem. The worker was off guard eating under the machine. Please tell me if the usage or the grammar in the sentence is ok. Thanks.

May I say it that way? The worker is off guard eating under the machine. Thanks.

A Letter to Apply for a Job Dear Sir or Madam: Several days ago, I passed by a store, I saw a great school with such beautiful trees, grass and buildings. I heard your school's reputation is very good and has a vacancy in language department. In the meanwhile, I am searching for a teaching-related job. I think I am just the very person you are looking for. First of all, I was an English major in university and my grades were very great at school. Every year I could get scolarship from the school. Therefore, without a doubt, my English is second to none. Second, before applying for the position, I were an English teacher in a cramschool. I have taught there fir about two years. Most of the students I tutored could get good grades at school. Their parents were very happy about that. I kept in touch with the parents, and our relationship was good. I think teaching is not only about how to improve students' grades but also how to deal with the relationship between teachers and parents. Finally, I think a sense of humor plays a role in a teaching field. I am just the person with that trait. Usually, I start a lesson with a joke, which can help students relax a little bit and be more interested in my class. I do my best to let my students love English. That way, I don't have to spend much time watching them becaue they like to study English. My thought about teaching is that professional knowledge is one thing. How to get well along with students and let them love studying are more important. Best regards, Rock P.S. Feel free to edit it or give some comments.

Keeping Garbage off the Ground For the past decades, the Taiwan government has been concerned about environmental issues. Garbage problems are no exception. Athough the policy of keeping garbage off the ground isn't very convenient for most citizens, it is a great way to keep our environment clean. Before the policy was announced, people felt free to throw away their trash at any time. It was long before there was a lot of trash which was accumulated over time in one place. A huge pile of garbage was not only bad for the city view but also gave off terrible ordor, which might bother the nearby residents. In my opinion, I do agree with this policy. At first, the citizens may think it is a little troublesome. Later on, they will get used to it and know it is good for them and the environment in the long run. In addition, if we don't follow the rule, it may cause some conflicts among residents. That is because nobody allows their place to be plied up with plent of garbage. Moreover, none of them can stand the ordor from the outdoor trash. For the reason above, I do support this policy.
