Urgent Question: What's a motivation letter? What's its difference from cover letter? As above, help!!

Do you think it is a good idea to learn English through a 19th century novel? I haven't been using English for a really long time, ever since I came back to China. It feels like everything I konw about it is slipping away noiselessly and it got me really worried. So, I found myself a English tutor. The class has been great. But I am have a problem now, sort of...... We use journal articles as study material until now. The thing is, normally they are quite short and I want to read something longer than that. Although I read other stuff in my spare time too, reading for pleasure isn't quite the same as reading with a purpose. Since I'm not a diligent person at all, I need something or some one to motivate me or even push me from time to time. Since I always wanted to read Wuthering Heights, I was about to suggest that we use that as our text book. However, again, I couldn't be sure if that would be a good idea. I had a start with the book and find the wording quite different from the comtemporary novels I had read so far. So, now, I don't know if reading a 19th century novel is a good method to employ or not. What do you think?

Is Skype used more often than MSN to communicate with language exchange partners?

I would love to know more people and find language exchange partner on this website, but it seems that not many people use msn. Is this true?

Professionals, these days!! Part two. Here comes another of her opionion that I couldn't stand. All through the second half of her lecture, she seperatly talked about how female and male should dress. For male, shirt and tie combination rules. For female, you should keep the color and pattern simple, always wear stockings and make you're not showing anything, such as cleavage, shoulder or too much leg, etc. Otherwise, it's not fare for the men as they maybe suduced and commit crimes such as sexual harassment. And then, she stressed on the last part again, saying "when someone grabs your ass and you're ready to accuse them of sexual harassment, you should always check what you're wearing first'. OMG!!!
