I have always been very interested in other languages but have been unable to truly learn because there is just no need to actually use the things I have learned. It is for this reason that this site is so interested to me. If you are reading this, I hope to have given you a little glimpse into who I am. I also hope that you will message me and allow me the opportunity to learn about you as well.

    The first is better. However, you could just say, "Can you guess what animal makes this sound?"

    I even asked my husband to make sure I was thinking correctly but I believe that there is a mistake here. Either the speaker means to say, "The house that my brother is in has XXXXX." or "My house that my brother lives in has XXXXX." I think the first is correct though. It sounds like the speaker is just telling about that house that their brother is in.

    The introduction of myself

    Hi XXX
    It is good to meet you. My name is Frank. I work in an export company. Our core business is CNC machining and CNC prototype.(For details please have a look at our website: www.firstpart.com). As for my job , I am like a bridge to connect the foreign designer with our engineer. I am in sales and mostly translate the words to both of them. That means I have to be good at English , but the truth is I am not. That is why I want to find a native English speaker to help me to improve this year, especially with speaking English. Sometimes the clients call me or visit our workshop. When talking with them, I feel nervous and have no idea how to talk with them. I just want to end the conversation ASAP. Talking with them via email allows me to have some time to think and check. But meeting them face to face, I do not have too much time to think. It is so awkward and needs to be solved in the future  or I may need to worry about my position.
    I hope you can help me to overcome this issue, Mr. XXX

    Best Regards
    Frank

    The "out there" at the end makes it feel a little awkward to me. I agree also that "is" doesn't sound completely natural. Maybe instead of putting "fresh air and peaceful surroundings" at the end you could put it at the beginning. "The country has fresh air and PEACEFUL surroundings, so that is where I want to live." Saying it this way eliminates the is/are debate and sounds much more natural. The capital letters do mean that you are placing a strong emphasis on that point, so using so many loses their affect. It's like shouting all the time verses only raising your voice on specific words. You could even capitalized "fresh" without making it too much. I hope I've helped you.

    English has so many correct ways of saying the same things. It is often a matter of personal preference. However, I can offer you a suggestion. I would use "encourage", not "incentivize". That isn't a common word and in that context it comes off much colder than even a professional sentence should. Instead try, "Encourage them using more substantial rewards such as free days, vouchers, or recognition." I hope my answer helps you.
