    Hi Daichi, I think the same rules apply to when you meet any new friends, not just foreign friends:

    - be friendly

    - be a good listener

    - have good/consistent communication with one another

    - try to learn about the person you've just met or you're meeting

    - share your experiences and stories with them, try to relate yourself to the person if possible 

    - respect their cultures and beliefs 

    - be natural


    And if none of the above works, then have a little alcohol for Dutch courage or to lighten things up. Then perhaps, both parties would open up to one another. You then might be on your way to building a good relationship. I hope this helps.

    Hi everyone. Thank you to you all for leaving your comments here, and sorry I'm just replying now. Whilst I appreciate your kind offers, I've already buddied up with a language partner. Hope to see you on the community posts soon and keep practising the language you're learning.

    iHola Carlos! 'Pitch' has several meanings as you've probably found on Google translate. But in the context you have provided above, pitch is a type of tar. I think there're different types of tars. Wood tar, in particular contains resin acid. So you were quite right on that. I hope this helps.

    1. David hasn't been bringing his book to the class 2 weeks in a row. 2. David has been leaving his book at home 2 weeks in a row. 3. David is so behind other students. He is very weak at English grammar. He needs to revise more. 4. The boys kept using their phones in the class and have not been focusing on the lesson.

    Looking for a language partner (Mandarin and/or French)

    Good day, italki community! Is there anyone on here who would like to practise conversational Mandarin and/or French with me, in exchange for conversational English sessions? 这里有没有人愿意和我一起练习会话式普通话，以换取英语会话？Y a-t-il quelqu'un ici qui voudrait pratiquer le français conversationnel avec moi, en échange de sessions d'anglais conversationnelles?

    CLASSWORK: Letter of complaint

    Dear Mr. Kent

    I am writing to express my strong dissatisfaction with your vacational package which I booked with your company for me and my family.

    First of all, when I checked in at the hotel, we had to wait nearly one hour and half because there were problems with our hotel reservation which caused some stress and worries to my family. Second of all, we were deeply offended by the behavior of the receptionist. *Or you could say- Second of all, the receptionist was rude to us.

    To make matters worse, we were forced to change rooms, services and facilities without given any reasons after the long wait upon arrival. When I asked to speak to the manager of the hotel to try and fix the problem, he was very impolite and rude. 


    Lastly *(this would be a better word choice than 'overall' because you used 'First of all' at the beginning of the email. So it's better to start your sentences in that sequential order), I would like to point out the incompetence of your staff in general and also they were not able to resolve any of the issues me and my family have encountered/experienced at your hotel.

    I very much hope that you will make a note of my comments and avoid giving your future guests the same treatment.  Also, I am afraid to say that I will have no alternative but to put the matter in the hands of my solicitors.


    I look forward to hearing from you within the next days.

    Yours Sincerely,
    Peter Parker. (no punctuation necessary after you sign off at the end of a letter of email)
