Weaknesses and Strenghts
It is such a difficult life. I sometimes feel as if we are all puppets whose strings are pulled by hidden evil forces. Even those who think they are powerful enough to rule the world are in reality weak humans whose confidence and pride can be shaken once they experience pain or failure. Wealth, power and all the worldly goods can't also save us from being damaged, hurt and destroyed. We struggle to achieve success and happiness, yet life is never devoid of moments of pain and suffering. So the fortune that you spend your whole life amassing, and the social status that you are striving for cannot guarantee you eternal youth or happiness. They cannot guarantee you an eternal life, either. Just remember that life is too short to spend hating ohers or competing with them. Try to be always ready for unexpected circumstances, and learn to deal with life's trials.--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, Jo,
An excellent article, well written and very good advice! It reminds me of Desiderata (http://www.alittlebookof.com/desideratapdf.html)
Corrections: Strengths, Other.
Notes:
*As a native English speaker, I would say 'Strengths and Weaknesses', but I understand this may have been your intention?
* 'Also' is an unnecessary word here ('Also is normally used when adding information about a person or thing).
Regards, Morgan
0 votedJanuary 15, 20171- Will you come with me?
Here is question!!
Does this below sentence make sense?
Are you come with me?
I think 'Do you come with me?' is right expressions!!
But I saw someone using this sentence.=======================================================================
Two missing words 'want' (A verb) and 'to' (A preposition)
Do you want to come with me?
If you want something or someone, you feel a desire or a need for it.
You use 'want' in questions as a way of making an offer or inviting someone to do something.
Do you want another cup of coffee?
Do you want to leave your bike here?
or Did you still want to come with me?, Are you going to come with me? Will you come with me?

Hi (Comma) Folks! Do you think that I explained everything clear below?
Give us an example of a difficult problem at work that you have solved. Include your understanding of the causes of the problem, the actions that you took and why, and the results that you achieved.
When I was working as a Staffing Coordinator at ABC Employment Agency, there was one occasion that (when?) one of our clients - a soup factory - requested 1 (one) part-time palletizer to work in their Re-cart department every Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday on a long term basis. My co-worker and I contacted lots of our temp employees who were qualified for the workload of the position; however, nobody wanted to take a position that was scheduled like this. Most of them preferred (to) go for either a full-time position during weekdays or part-time for the weekends only.I realized that Tuesday was the obstacle for us to find a suitable candidate. We had already placed some palletizers in another department of the same company, the work schedule in this department called ‘ continental shift’, Meaning, temp employees who worked in this department had to work every Mon (Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sun (Sunday) for the first week; and wed (Wednesday) and Thursday only for the second week. The schedule of the third week would be the same as the first week, the fouth (fourth) week would be the same as the second one. It was a two weeks (week, circle (cycle?.)
Then an idea came to my mind, instead of having 1(one) part-time palletizer work on tues (Tuesday) sat, (Saturday) and sun (Sunday) in the Re-cart department, maybe we could advise the client to dispatch the assignment to two employees with different schedules from the continental shift, who would like to take three extra shifts every other week. They have already worked in the company, familiar with (the) work environment and reliable.
The only problem is, in this case, these employees would go over time and the client would have to pay extra. So I adjusted my plan, we could find someone to work every weekend, then found two employees from continental shift to take turns to work every other Tuesday if they were only scheduled to work on wed (Wednesday) and Thursday that week. In this case, nobody would go over time; the client wouldn’t have to pay extra.
I spoke with the client about my plan and they were OK with it. After getting their approval, I easily found the three good candidates with this new arrangement. The client said to me,’ thank you for all the effort that you made to get this done.’

His book " Arkhipelag GuLag-The Gulag Archipelago" (Published in the West in 1973) is about the Soviet forced labour camp system.
It was not officially published in Russia until the creation of the Russian Federation.

Alison read the note, smiled, and immediately put on her coat. She decided to go for a walk, so he (she) could clear her mind in the street.
She was wandering through the streets of Southampton when, out of the blue, she realizes (British English-realises) that the handwriting was not from him. Later as she was walking (by) the river, following a narrow path that continued through a dense forest she felt a frightening sensation starting in her chest. She panicked so she started running blindly without looking at where she was going t(h)rough the woods.
She realised that she was lost and started crying for help. Then, at that very moment Alison heard a loud but strange sound. It was almost as if someone were dragging (their) feet through the leaves. She soon recognized the pattern and realized that “the sound” was him, so she felt relieved. (Him? Who is this character? Did you mean "The sound was from her own feet?)0 votedFebruary 15, 20140- American English or British English? If you want to improve your conversational skills and test your fluency, a native English speaker, tutor or teacher is the way to go! Immersion in the language and culture would stimulate your interest, even to the extent of becoming an "Anglophile"0 votedNovember 9, 20130
Shall we dance? (Song lyrics) from "The King and I"
Shall is one of the modal verbs used in the "Future Tense" with "I and we" in questions such as "Shall we dance"
When referring to something that you are sure will happen to you in the future you use shall, "I shall miss him terribly"
