Essay Question: “Prevention is better than cure”. Researching and treating diseases is too costly so it would be better to invest in preventative measures. To what extent do you agree.
It is widely believed that prevention from of illness is more efficient than treatment. Some argue that (the government? you could also say governments when speaking about all governments) government should save (while save money from investing makes sense and is technically correct, saying "take money" or "divert money" would sound better) money from investing (you could say investment here, sounds a bit better) in treatment which is too expensive, and invest(note: the word investment would not work here) in prevention instead. In my opinion, I partly agree with it this approach, because of the fact that researching on treatments is still efficient(i would use necessary instead of efficient, or say "researching treatments is still an efficient use of money.....") to tackle some diseases which has have no treatment yet.
Investing in prevention improves the people’s health in the long term. From education to of the general public, to as well as clinical measures, would reduce the risk of disease outbreak. For example, in 2003 Hong Kong experienced SARS, which has gradually been weakened (reduced would sound better) in the city since citizens later had learned to put on a mask to prevent illness due to active general health education proposed by the government and hospitals. In addition, nowadays many vaccines are available as a way of creating immunity to certain diseases, thus people are much healthier, and have longer lives.
However, there are still diseases which are unclear of the cause (which have an unclear cause would sound better). Take AIDs as an example. It becomes is known that some measures can be taken to reduce the risk of having AIDs such as to use using condoms while having sex. However, some AIDs patients may be have inherited the illness from their parents, in which treatment becomes important . In addition, research on treatment is always beneficial as it can help people better understand the pathology of the disease and develop accurate cures (or you could say to develope a more accurate cure) in the future. A certain amount of expense is still required to examine and develop treatment.
In conclusion, it is efficient that we take prevention measures to keep healthy, but we cannot deny the usefulness of medical research which is consistently improving health science as well as our health.0 votedFebruary 21, 20170Living in the city vs living in the countryside
If I had to decide between living in the city or living in the countryside I wouldn't know what to do.
The advantages of living in the countryside are many: there is a quieter atmosphere; there is not such as much contamination as there is in a city; if you like flowers and plants you can have a garden in your house and, as everybody knows each other, when you go out of you house and you can chat with your neighbors... On the other side, there also are (are also) disadvantages such as: there isn't aren't too many offer of cinemas or theaters and if you want to watch a film, you have to drive to the city; there are also less shops and sometimes if you need something specific, you don't (can't find it sounds more natural) find it...
On the other hand living in the city is gorgeous. There is are a lot of people going up and down (the streets? the sidewalks? where are they going up and down?) and you have a lot of shops, restaurants, cinemas or theaters to go to. There also are hospitals, so if you feel bad, you are going to be attended to in a very quickly way. But, obviously, there are traffic jams, pollution, much more noise than in a village... and all those things doesn't don't make your life better.
So, in summary, I think the best option is having a flat in the city and a house in the countryside if you have enough money to afford it!.0 votedFebruary 17, 20171How to work with colleague--Second Part
Second , you should do something that your colleagues like to do .For example , if your colleague likes playing basketball ,you can play basketball with him in your free time .Third ，don't badmouth your colleagues behind them their back (to go behind someones back is a very common saying in english, it means without their knowledge, or when they are not around). Any rumor will crack the fragile relationship, Praising colleagues is the best choice whenever time is (whenever time is what? please give more detail) .Last but not least ,finishing your own tasks on time is a basic pillar of the relationship ,if you don't do your work done (you could say if you don't do your work, or get your work done) , your colleague may complain and report it to your superior . you could Even you will be fired ,then you won't need not to worry about how to work with your colleague .0 votedFebruary 16, 20172My fourth note
Today I want to write about e-shopping.
In my opinion, it is one the best and comfortable inventions in on the internet. Maybe the best one is Wikipedia, and social networks are also more important. But e-shopping is also on at the top of my imaginable chart list. (" **** is at the top of my list" is a very common saying in english, the word chart while technically correct simply would not be used because a chart is something usually used when giving a presentation of some kind)
It is amazing what that you don’t need to go somewhere to looking for something, and You don’t need to spend your free time for traditional shopping. And one of the main reasons to choose e-shopping for me is a global character (character would be used if something had a personality, try and find a different word here) of it. I can buy something anywhere. I can observe (search or look) all over the world to find goods what that I need in 10 minutes.
My favorite website for e-shopping is aliexpress.com. I have bought a lot of cheap things there. And good luck was in on my side. All my purchases were nice (while nice can be used here, try and think of a different word so it sounds better) and had a were good quality. But I know a lot of examples from my friends when their buys were not so successful. (But i know of many times where my friends bought things and were not so successful "or perhaps you could say lucky" would sound better)
So e-shopping seems to me to be like a big lottery.0 votedFebruary 16, 20171Thanks for my leadership.
All of a sudden (you could also say All of a suddenly) I would like to borrow take the opportunity to write a small essay to thank my leadership (leadership would be a team of leaders, or if you said i would like to thank my boss for his leadership. or you could say i want to thank my boss). Even though I have never personally told him that he would never see, this is also quite good~. ("never see, this is also quite good" is a bit confusing, try and say it another way so i can correct, what would he never see? what is quite good?)
The company I work for is in good order and business is stability stable，so everyone is happy. My leader is very friendly and never loses his temper. Basically do not work overtime (you could say he does not ask me or make me work overtime) and not too much work pressure (it would be better to say "he does not pressure me too much at work"). So that I have enough time and energy in my spare time to do what I like and what I am interested in. Such as take an interesting course. For example, after the completion of the work (it would sound better to simply say "after work"). I can spare time to write a small essay.hah~
My life is not just work, I can focus on more interesting things.
I think it's that is lucky.0 votedFebruary 16, 20171to keep up my English skills (keep up or keeping up is a way to say you are staying current with your studies, it can also be used if someone is falling behind when walking with a group, or failing a class, you would say "keep up!")
I started learning on italki to focus on output. I wanted to use what I learn.
At first, what I need to do to keep up my English ability(you could also say skills) is to keep writing on italki. So I
If there's a wrong sentence or word, or if you think there's another sentence or word to express what I want to tell, I would like you to correct or make a suggestion. (you could also say correct or suggest alternative words)
I'm looking forward to your comments.
Thank you!0 votedFebruary 16, 20171[picture six]
Would you mind correcting my sentences? And if you were me, how would you go about describing these pictures?
I hope that my descriptions of these pictures give you a good idea of what they look like.
[Picture six]
This picture shows a glossary store or a convenience store in somewhere.
I see two men and a woman in the sweets (you could also say "candy") area (you could also say section).
One man is taking (you could say placing or putting) a candy in his breast (you could say he is taking a candy and placing it in his breast pocket, or slipping it into his pocket or jacket (if he's wearing one). the candy is covered (with or in) a yellow package. It seems to be a chocolate.
The other people are not looking at what he is doing ,because they are looking back.
The picture notice the depicts a scene of the shoplifting. (depict is the proper word when describing an unseen photo or video)0 votedFebruary 16, 2017198 day----A well-meaning conspiracy
I am very lucky, because I have many nice friends. We had a party yesterday, and we talked about learning of English. They were surprised(past tense) for with my English. I think Chinese people always were were always shy to open their mouths (when referring to all chinese you must use a plural "s" ) to speak English. And it would be difficult to find a suitable environment for English speaking in China. So I never told to them that I was learning English.
But I think yesterday was a special case. Because I introduced a foreign friend to an education center to teach English for kids. So after the class, I took him to our party. I think this is useful to inspire in the others (or other people) in the interest of English learning to be interested in learning English. Then I think I get success was successful All of my friends opened their mouths and were{past tense) ready to learn English.
Although someone would think it looks like a conspiracy, but I think it also was a well-meaning conspiracy. After the party, many of my friends called me on this morning. One of them told to me that he can provide a free room for class and he suggested to me that we should make an English speaking party like the yesterday, every week.0 votedFebruary 13, 20171my winter hoilday holiday

With the wild animals, and the comfortable ocean wind ,it is a wonderful place to relax, l think. l want a once one more chance at spending a hoilday there！！(corrector's note) Overall this is ok, you just need to work on the use of past tense.
