    【2020.3.18】A Good Guava Tree-1

    A few days ago, my mother and I went to<s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);"> the</s> downtown in the afternoon to collect my social security card <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">at afternoon</s>. However, due to the <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">new-corona-virus</s> new coronavirus, the bank had changed its service time. So we got there only to find that the bank had stopped receiving new<s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">-come</s><s> </s>clients [You can also use "first time clients"].
    On the way home, we found a strawberry field where we can pick <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">up</s> strawberries by <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">our self</s> ourself and buy <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">it</s> them at a price of 40 RMB for each [using "per" here sounds a bit better than "for each"] kilogram. We enjoyed ourselves there and later we found the owners have some good guava trees, which we really like. The owners of the strawberry field, a kind couple, agreed to sell us a little guava tree at a very low price --- only 30 RMB.
    The interesting thing is that, after we planted the tree in our back yard, we realized that tomorrow is Arbor Day! What a fun coincidence!
    From <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">then</s> now on, we have a nice little tree; every family member, including our doggy, harry, loves this tree, and takes care of this tree.

    However, the leaves of guava tree began to fall down [or "fall off"]. Though that kind couple promised that this is a normal phase of planting a tree, for it needs time to recover and adapt to the new environment, we still worried about our little tree.
    Today is a rainy day, I hope our little tree <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">could</s> can survive as they say. (a <s style="background-color: rgb(250, 204, 204);">bad</s> good rhyme :) )


    This was a great, well written story that I thought was fun to read! Keep up the good work!

    Salary

    This month, my son has finally received his salary for the first time in his life. He has been so excited about this for a long time. He says his salary seems to be deposited <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">on</s> in his bank account on the 25th of every month. So he went to the bank and checked the details of his bank account yesterday. However, he couldn't find a record that his company paid on the payday for some reason. As [you can also use "Since"] he seemed <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">like unrest</s> worried, I asked him <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">that you were</s> if he was expecting <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">someone</s> something today. Apparently, he already ordered his favorite chair and a special display for <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">video game online</s> online video gaming [or "gaming online"] even though he had yet to get his salary. They were delivered <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">at</s> to my house today, so he owed my wife some money. He is going to inquire to his company about this issue <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">the</s> first thing in the morning tomorrow, <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">but</s> and I pray that he will be able to find out about his salary somehow and withdraw money from his account. <s>For now, I will wait for returning his rent to us one day without expectation.</s> [For now, I will wait for him to repay his rent to us one day without expectation.] Wish me luck (haha)!

    I really liked your short story! It was well written and there were only a few grammar mistakes that are easy to fix. Good job!

    story

    I’m going to tell a story that happened <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">with</s> to me last week. I was coming back <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">at</s> home from a party <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">about</s> around 02.00 a.m. on Saturday. And when my <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">way</s> trip [or "going" or "journey"] was <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">getting</s> almost finished, unexpectedly <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">for me</s> I saw a naked guy <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">that</s> appear<s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">ed</s> from the bushes. He was only <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">worn just in</s> wearing underwear and he <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">kept</s> held plastic bag in his hands. I was extremely shocked. He asked me to help him.
    “Could you tell me where I am?,” asked <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">me</s> the strange guy.
    “Leninskiy district, Agalakova street,” I answered him.
    “No, no which city?,” <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">asked</s> he asked again.
    “Chelyabinsk,” I said.
    He was very disappointed in my answer because he had had a trip from Yamal to Ufa. He didn’t remember anything - e.g., how and why he left the train and got <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">in</s> almost 500 kilometers from home. I<s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">’ve</s> decided to call <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">to</s> the police. After a brief conversation with the operator on the hot line I told <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">that</s> the guy to stay and wait for a police officer [or "wait for the police"].
    After this strange meeting I continued on my way. <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">In</s> After 500 meters I saw a police car. There <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">was</s> were two policemen. In that moment I was really proud<s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">ed</s> of the police because it seemed they work very fast.
    “Hello, the naked guy there,” I pointed <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">direction</s>.
    “What? Who are you? Which guy?,“ amazedly answered a policeman.
    “A naked guy, he’s lost and he needs <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">for</s> help,” I said to them.
    <s>“Has he had a knife </s><s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">on</s><s> </s><s style="color: rgb(102, 163, 224);">in</s><s> his hands? Has he had blood on his stomach?” </s>
    "Did he have a knife in his hands? Did he have blood on his stomach?" [While the sentence you wrote above is correct, it has a different meaning than what I think you intended to write.]
    “No, he <s style="color: rgb(240, 102, 102);">hasn’t</s> didn't," I answered them.
    “So, we are looking for another guy. Good bye!”

    This was a very good story and I think that it was well written - there were only a few easy to fix grammar mistakes. Also, remember that commas go inside the quotation marks when someone is talking.

    Communication and leadership

    #trying to use more acadamic words
    An effective leader must have good communication skills. Without such skills, lots of misunderstandings or troubles might occur, such as not being understood while negotiating or even being tricked by some of the rivals. Conversely, a leader with a splendid ability of speech can get a lot of publicity and make a good first impression. Take Steve Jobs as an example: he has won a great reputation in his arena of technology. it This not only comes from his creativity but is also triggered by his ability to convince make audiences and partners convinced.

    Besides, Communication is also used inside a group or corporation; getting every employee satisfied and then focused on their work for a greater output, coordinating the relationship between all the colleagues, and the aptitude of an effective dialogue are required in such situations. In short, communication skills are essential to a successful leadership.



    You could replace situations with "organizations", but I think using "situations" is sufficient. Overall, this was really well written! I especially liked the way you wrote "a leader with a splendid ability of speech"; I thought that was quite clever wording.
