- This is just my two cents on this: "Fit in" is used when an object or a person is trying to "get in" to something, like a pair of pants or a group of people. Examples: I want to fit in these shoes. I wish I could fit in their awesome group. Are you fitting in your class perfectly? "Fit" has several meanings, but in context on the word "fit in," they're almost similar. They are used differently depending on the structure of the sentence. Here are some examples. Are you fit for this? Do you think you're fit for this job? "Suit" and "match" are two similar words you can use, but it really depends on the sentence/idea you want to convey. "Match" is often used when you are comparing something to it. Examples: You suit the job perfectly. Among all the applicants, you are the perfect match for this job. You are the perfect fit for this job. You are fitting in nicely in your new job. Being happy suits you more. Being happy matches your personality better. Being happy is a good fit for you. Being happy will help you fit in with your classmates.

- Is it that difficult to get new friends once we are adults?I believe that when we are kids, it is easier to have friends and be surrounded by them. Once we become teens, sometimes that could change; we have less friends than before. However, we could still have friends because adolescence is also the time when we also need to socialize.But what happens when we grow up? Once we leave high school and/or the university, we sometimes lose contact with our friends. Time flies and then, we have new jobs. Sometimes we move far away and have our own family lives. With these, I believe that it is more difficult to make new and long-lasting friends once we are adults.Sometimes, the more lonely we are, the more difficult it is to connect with people. Some people may think it is easy, like you just have to subscribe to a club to meet new people or join outdoor activities to make new friends. I'm not that sure if it is that easy. Once you lose the habit of approaching other people, you tend to stay aside, like a shadow. You get used to solitude and even if you want make friends, it is similar to forgetting the how-to of "socializing and making new friends."I also wonder if Italki contacts can really become long-time friends. Can we be friends with people that we won't meet in real life? Can friendship be limited to texts, voice messages, or internet calls (Skype)? Is that enough to make real friends? Should we just focus on the content of our conversations and not the means of communication?[Edited this; I hope it gets your message through. Just for fun though, I'd like to answer the very last question. There are times when the means of communication matters in friendship. A call weighs more than a text. A friend being there, in person, at your lowest point, is different from a friend who simply texts, "too bad for you."]0 votedMay 13, 20191
Hi Leslie, I took up my education up to my doctorate in the Philippines, but I live in the US. There are public universities and the best one is almost free. It's just very hard to get in. The private universities are also expensive (relative to the cost of living). However, getting scholarships for both college and post grad is a great way to make the cost manageable (which I did, really grateful for those). Some universities are generous with scholarships and students can apply to work under their respective schools (like library assistant, etc) and their tuition is almost free or about 50% off.

Referral letter
I am writing to request an urgent admission for Mrs XXX. She is experiencing persistent chest pain.
Mrs. XXX is a known case of hypothyroidism, hypertension, and glaucoma. Her current medications are: Karvea 10mg (daily?), Oroxine 0.1mg once daily, and Timptol Eye Drops 0.5% one drop twice daily. She also takes Golden Glow Glucosamine one tablet (daily?) for her arthritis and Normison 10 mg as needed (for insomnia?).On 29/06/2009, Mrs XXX complained of indigestion, which was initially managed with Mylanta. After one month, she mentioned sleep disturbance and pain in her (left or right?) shoulder. She was then given Panadol and Normison. On 09/07/2009, her shoulder pain, indigestion, and poor sleep recurred (persistently or intermittently?).
This morning, she was generally weak and remained in bed. Her blood pressure was 180/95, and her general practitioner was informed. Tonight, she mentioned slight nausea, sleep disturbance, and pain in her shoulder and neck. Her blood pressure was 175/95 and she was given Panadol and Normison at 10pm. After 45 minutes, her blood pressure increased to 190/100 and she was observed to be pale, sweaty, and distressed. Therefore, an ambulance service was called and the patient was transferred (to the hospital? ER?) (tiNotably, the patient is allergic to penicillin (or has a drug allergy to penicillin).
[I think you could elaborate more the chest pain on the last paragraph, since it is the chief complaint. It seemed like her high blood pressure is the reason for admission. Lastly, the patient complained of shoulder pain, instead of chest pain. I think you mean chest pain that radiated to her left shoulder? Hope my suggestions helps.]
