Hi,

You wrote these responses/corrections:

2. If a group is thinking of holding its 2008 Teacher Workshop which is to be an annual event, how should a person who is writing a correspondence write the following types of words in his/her correspondence -- capitalize or not capitalize when using the full or partial name of the workshop?

Hi, our annual Teacher Workshop for this year is to be held at the *** Hotel in ***. Or,
Hi, our annual teacher workshop for this year is to be held at the *** Hotel in ***.

Either way sounds OK. If you view the phrase as a proper name, use capitals.Which phrase to view as a proper name -- 2008 Teacher Workshop or the post-referenced "Teacher Workshop" (just used two words without the year)? If you capitalize the first letters of words, eg Teacher Workshop, you are indicating that they are a proper name. If a number is involved, eg a date like 2008, it can sometimes be unclear as to whether the number is part of the proper name.

3. Let us think that a school has one day designated as the day to reduce unnecessary left-overs and to promote that issue, the school is thinking of designating an Wedneday of every week as "Clean Your Plate" day. How would write that on paper so it can be posted on the bulleton board or send notices online?

Hi, guys, we have designated every Wednesday as our __.
It clearly seems to be a proper name, as indicated by the quotation marks, so I'd say
Hi, guys, we have designated every Wednesday as our "Clean Your Plate" day. If a person puts some word in quotation marks and the first letters of the words are captialize, Is the word considered a proper name?It often indicates that the phrase is an unofficial, informal kind of name. 'If I was putting the name on the calendar, how should I write it: Clean Your Plate Day or "Clean Your Plate" Day (in capital letters)? I would write it as you first wrote it in your sentence above, ie "Clean Your Plate" day. You could omit the word 'day', since everything on a calendar already indicates a day.

Best wishes, Clive

Hi Feebs,

There are many other expressions of the kind c/o like:

D/O - daughter of

S/O - father of

D.O.B. - date of birth

Should these expressions also be written in small letters, but generally these expressions occur in the beginning of proceeding text?

SUMMARY

A highly motivated, determined, and dedicated 29 year old general practitioner (GP) with practical work experience in conducting evidence based medicine during my 16th month compulsory national service, when I was working as a GP in a health clinic handling most aspects of a GP responsibilities. My appreciation for importance of â evidence based medicineâ has led me to propose surveys and researches to gather appropriate data concerning most daily encountered medical problems. My commitment to humanitarian activities and my professional obligations led to a two-week voluntary work for Red Crescent during the very first days of catastrophic *** earthquake ( date), when I experienced working with the least equipment and facilities during a natural disaster of massive number of casualties and lots of emergencies. I spent two month of my internship and one month of my clerkship in a rural health clinic where I became familiar with the the country health system and policies in rural area while under supervision I was responsible for daily patient care and visits, handling and updating patients records, doing patients follow-ups, vaccination, pregnancy and pediatric routine cares, birth control, consultation, monitoring community health and addressing any health problem in the community. I proposed a survey during this invaluable experience of my internship to find out the results of failure of patient for following up their routing visits especially for pregnant women and juvenileâs which resulted in 23 percent increase in their attendance. The rest of my internship was in a large medical center in *** city during which we were trained for conducting a wide array of medical skills in all medical disciplines. I understand the value of research in medicine and have always been keen to conduct practical researches to solve some problems of community or bring new treatment to practice, which could be noticed from my research background. I have always been eager to connect my current knowledge to perpetual stream of new medical breakthroughs and practices through reading reputable medical journals, however my research background makes me to be critical to new article and research papers form content and methodology perspective. Playing Basketball has taught me the value of teamwork and to be more proficient in indispensable art of time management. I studied medicine in and graduated from a medical school listed in both WHO and IMED directory of medical schools.

WORK EXPERIENCE

Re: this dating

Clive — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 21:49:45 GMT

Hi,

you really upset me a lot when you did not have a date with me, because I probably found a lot of enjoyment in this dating.

There are quite a lot of things about this sentnece that are odd in meaning and that are unidiomatic. Let me suggest that you say it this way:

You really upset me a lot when you would not give me a date, because I would have enjoyed dating you.

Your sentence did not start with a capital letter. This probably seems like a tiny error to you, but it is the first thing that I noticed. It makes me think 'Hmmm, this person does not care about simple things, yet seems to care about more complex errors. That's strange.'

Let me put it another way. If you write to me for a job and you make mistakes about capitals, I won't give you the job, because I will think that you are a careless person.

So, please be careful about such simple matters.

Best wishes, Clive

Re: as and when

Clive — Tue, 05 Sep 2006 04:55:34 GMT

Hi Vincent,

i would be grateful if someone can shed some light on the use of "as and when".

i have an example here: We will update the information as and when necessary.

it seems to me that "as and when" is similar to either "as" or "when". so why say both at the same time?

It's really just an idiomatic expression. It sounds a little 'legalistic' and precise, so perhaps that's why some people like to say it.

Vincent, it pains me that you don't start your sentences with capital letters.

Best wishes, Clive

Re: writting cancelation letter

Clive — Thu, 31 Aug 2006 05:17:41 GMT

Hi,

First, put your address at the top right corner, followed by the date. A little lower and on the left, put the company's name and address. Then say -

Dear Sir/Madam,

I wish to cancel my Sky Box Digital service immediately.

I'm not satisfied with the service or with the equipment.

Yours sincerely,

(now sign your name)

(now type your name)

Although you don't seem to think so, the correct use of capital letters is an important part of the English language. It makes it easier for the reader to understand what you have written.

Best wishes, Clive

Re: Hidden role of mass media

nona the brit — Mon, 07 Aug 2006 10:58:55 GMT

Hi,

I've gone through the first paragraph for you and highlighted problems in the rest. Your main difficulty seems to be the use of singular/plural, verb tenses and knowing when you need a determiner. There are other errors as well though. Once again, NO CAPITAL LETTER AFTER COMMAS! Nicely planned essay. Sender/receiver not the right choice of words. You might want to find an alternative to 'set agenda' as well.

The hidden role of mass media

Many people think that the mass media has two roles, that is, for entertainment and for information. .In fact, the mass media has a hidden role; agenda setting. Agenda setting is controlling what news can or canât be released . Agenda setting has three factors, that is, media policy, media type and government policy. Firstly, media policy has a role in agenda setting, for instance, if that newspaper is a sport newspaper and it has two stories, one about the football league and one about the World Bank, then they will put the football story on the front page and wouldn't use the World Bank story. In additional, the editor may use agenda setting for the newspaper's image.If that newspaper is a 'hard news' newspaper, they must put any news on the front page that is compatible with their policy. If they put odd news on the front page that may degrade their image.

Next is media type. Much of the mass media chooses news or message that compatible their type and receiver. If the sender want to send message about anatomy to well educate people, The sender may send in feature or article form. On the contrary ,if the massage want to send in feature or article form and receiver is child or teen , The sender must send via another form. For example, when I was child I have seen cartoon about anatomy . If mass media isnât choose message or news in right way and right form that message may be lack of effective message.

Last, about government policy. Government policy is greatest factor to be made up agenda setting of mass media. In Many country, the governments can control mass media via law and policy by prohibit something that may can country to unstable status. In addition, the dictatorial leader use mass media for propaganda that can convert people attitude. In the same way the democratic government may control people via news. If the news has effect with cabinet in that country, they may bribe news station by broadcast news that can improve their image or distort news in other way.

All above factor that made up agenda setting, that effect public opinion. If many mass media have policy about war in Lebanon that isnât important news and put that news in small section. People may think about war in Lebanon is unimportant event or ordinarily events. Moreover, agenda setting can change attitudes about exalted person by report bad news about that person only. That may change attitude about that person. In advertiser, many brands put brand âs product in many way, especially in film and cartoon that can set agenda in receiver mind â everyone use it â or â do you want to outdate? â. In the same way , mass media can change social value by put â everyone use it â or â everyone do it â in public mind, for example, if media want to change attitude about wars âcause some people think war is commonly events in the world. The media may broadcast about effect of war in many ways. Finally, agenda setting is used in many way but base on one purpose â persuade receiverâs mind â.

1. Run a spell-check. You seem to have problems with plurals as well, so work on that.

2. Re-write the first paragraph. The first sentence has you tying yourself in knots. Just state that you are writing to apply for the internship. The second sentence needs to take a different emphasis: why should they care what you want - they want to know that you have got what they want!

Moreover I have already gained some international experience.

lived in the USA for a year

intern for three months at...

questions relating to terrorism.

You don't state what your mother tongue actually is.

"I have no doubts that my work in your organization would be mutual beneficial. Such an internship would provide me with the ideal opportunity to obtain important experiences in regard to my future professional career, which I see in the field of conflict studies. More importantly, I am convinced that your organization and the vision for which it stands would benefit as well." Again - it's ok to mention how it will help your future career but what they are interested in is HOW will they benefit by choosing you instead of one of the other candidates.
