- leftover women In China, the pressure for young women to get married is huge. If a young woman over 27 is still single, her parents or even aunts and uncles will anxiously to find a suitable young man for her. This is possibly because the parents would feel shame if they have "old" daughters at home, and their neighbor could look them down just because of this. Traditionally, a single woman is considered to be incomplete. As a matter of fact, in the past, no woman would have kept single living with her parents as long as there was a man willing to marry her. Unmarried woman probably lives with her parents, and most parents would not complain about it. However, sons rather than daughters are supposed to live with parents. When sons get married, their wives could complain that their sisters are still living with them, which of course could cause some inconvenience. I have a consin who is 30. She thinks she's good-looking with a good education. Everybody of her family is looking a man for her, but she doesn't seem to be satisfied with anyone who has been introduced to her, no matter how wealth their families are. Maybe she will keep single all her life, but who could look after her when she gets old.August 27, 201720

- A Letter to a friend (for IELTS) Your friend wants to send her/his child to learn music. He/she asked you for some information about the music academy that you went to. Write him/her a letter and say - Describe this music academy. - Suggest a teacher or a class to go to. - Explain why you recommend it. - Provide some extra information that may be needed. Dear Jenny, I'm writing in response to your letter asking for information about the music academy. I must say that the academy would be your best choice, as it's always been the top three of its kind in China. It's renowned for its most experienced teaching staff, advanced musical equipment and best students. As your daughter has a consuming for piano from an early age, I'd recommend Mr. Lee, who used to be my teacher in those days. I'm sure you'd surprised by his insight into this musical equipment, and you should learn what you can't learn elsewhere. But remember, he may be somewhat strict with his students. Since the academy is located in north-east China where she may never have been, it might take some time for her to adapt the cold climate there. Taking extra warm clothes would be helpful. I look forward to seeing you next time.April 12, 201700
- a letter for IELTS Someone in your company is organizing a trip abroad for language learning training. Write a letter to him/her and say why he/she should choose you for this trip, as there is limited number of places available. - Describe who you are. - Why do you think this trip is good for you? - How can it help the company? Dear Mr. Smith, My name is John Lee, working as a software engineer from the software development department. I am writing to express my strong interest to take the upcoming overseas French-learning trip. If I were allowed to join you in the trip, it would be a fascinating one. Not only could I improve my French pronunication, but also I would also be able to take a visit to my aunt, who has lived there and I have never seen. I have learned this language for the past a couple of years, but I am still not that confident about pronunciation. Hopefully, with chances to talk to native speakers face-to-face, I would make progress in this regard. The improvements in the level of competence in my French will also benefit our company as a whole. I have come across a few customers from France, and, unfortunately, my poor pronunciation sometimes leads to misunderstanding and possibly a loss to our company. Furthermore, if I were there, I could solve matters for our important clients in person if necessary, rather than through video calls.April 10, 201700
- I am confused about the word "relaxed" 1. It's a very friendly bar with a nice relaxed atmosphere. 2. a relaxing holiday, I find swimming quite relaxing. In my opinion, both situations we should use "relaxing" , meaning "to make people feel relaxed" but why we use "relaxed atmosphere"?April 10, 201760
- A letter to a manager (for IELTS ) You have recently visited a tourist attraction and were very pleased by the help given to you by the staff. Write a letter to the staff manager and say - Give details of your visit. - Describe how the staff helped you. - What do you want the manager to do? Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to express my gratitude to your staff for their immense practical help. Without it, I would have got into trouble. Last Saturday, my family and I paid a visit to the Forbidden City. We entered the place around 9 a.m, and stayed there for about 3 hours. That was my first time to visit this attraction, and it was a really eye opening experience. However, what made me so impressive was the helpful staff. My five-year-old boy suddenly suffered diarrhoea. It was pretty urgent, yet there was a long queue in front of the toilet. A young women, one of your staff, who must have notice our embarrassment, let the little to use the staff toilet. Furthermore, she gave us a few pills. They worked and my boy recovered very soon. The lady was so warm-hearted and compassionate. I would like to suggest taking her good deed into consideration when deciding her next month's bonus.April 1, 201700
- should people should be allow to work until 80 Some people believe that no one should be allowed to continue working after the age of 65. However, others say there shouldn’t be a limitation on age and anyone should be allowed to work regardless of their age. Discuss both views, give your own opinion and include relevant examples. Should working people be allowed to work regardless of their age as long as they are willing to ? People have different answers to this question, but I think it is pointless to have to such a limitation. Those who support an statutory age of retirement believe that prolonging working life would have adverse effects on society. If workers continue working at an very old age, it means they keep the positions in the workforce. If these positions went to young people, it would certainly improve employment among them. Actually, in some part of the world, the rising umemployment has become a hot potato to the government. Furthermore, with sufficient pension, some retired people may choose to go on tourist trips, resulting in a boost in the tourism industry, in which a large number of people are employed. However, I believe that allowing old people to continue their career are beneficial both socially and individually. After working for decades, old people may have unparalleled working and social experience, a great asset to society, and at the same time, they are usually fit enough to stay in a career. For example, some US presidents can be as old as an age that some people think they should retire. However, none of them are thought to be incompetent because of their old age. On a individual perspective, some people enjoy working, and if they were force to leave their work, they would feel confused. In conclusion, some people think the fact that old people continue to work at their own will would lead to unpleasant social issues, while I think there should never be a limitation.March 31, 201700
