Account of the recent language learning experience and insights gained through the course both inside and outside of class

      I have learnt some useful skills in the course in these months.(incomplete sentence) The most impressing (missing three letters) lesson teach me how to write a composition in an (article) appropriate (sp.) style. I do know it is important to choose the appropriate style and tone when writing. I also understand that language style can be classified as formal, neutral and informal before. However, I do not know how I can write in an appropriate style correctly. The skills are not taught when I am in secondary school. After the lesson, I understand choice of vocabulary, sentence structure and grammar, use of transitional words and phrases, use of punctuation and use of abbreaviations and short forms affect the language style. I feel happy that I know how I can write in an appropriate style now. I believe that I can match the type of writing more correctly and therefore, my writing will _not__ _be__ (Insert words here) awkward or unnatural.

      Reading English newspapers also helps me to improve my English. I am not used to reading English newspaper before. But I am required to buy South China Morning Post from the courses. From then on I try to make reading South China Morning Post to be my daily routine. I find that it is an effective way to learn more vocabularies. It also helps me to broaden my horizon(Review your use of not only but also) Now I read South China Morning Post form Yahoo. So I can read South China Morning Post everyday. I deeply believe that South China Morning Post is worth reading.

Personal changed feelings/opinions/attitude towards English language learning

    I am convinced that English language learning are stressful and frustrating before. I feel nervous when everyone is focus on me and when teacher is listening carefully. I believe this feeling comes from my self- doubt. I think classmates are step ahead of me. I also cannot correctly pronounce some sounds and sets of sound. To be frank, I have thought that English is no more important because I am in Chinese Language and Literature Programme. I no need to improve my English anymore.

However, my friends told me that mastery of the English language is important. Hong Kong being a service - oriented economy, the advantage of having a competent English-speaking work force has become all the more improtant. I know that being a Chinese Language and Literature student is only an excuse to avoid learning English (You shouldn't think like that! Nothing wrong with being a Chinese major.). This thought only badly affects my interest and progress of learning English. I do know that if I lose the interest of learning English, my English cannot improve anymore. I need to find some ways to prevent feeling so embarrassed.

     There are ways for me to prevent feeling so embarrassed. I think the most practical way is to improve English. I should study English continuously. When I find some words that I cannot pronouce, I will check the electronic dictionary immediately. I will also try to speak English with my friends. I believe I can speak English fluently if I often do that. My friends can also kindly point out my grammatical mistakes. They will not laugh at my absurd mistakes. Therefore, I will not feel embarrassed anymore.

Essay-2: Correction

Summer3 — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 10:42:55 GMT

Hi, I am posting another essay. Again, it is for my personal improvement for my future IELTS exam. My exam is scheduled on March 31, 2007. So I am describing some tables, graphs etc. Hope you will understand my request and check my essay for any grammatical mistakes. If you were an examiner, what score would you give?

This table is given on page no. 125 of IELTS preparation book by Wendy Sahanaya and two more writers. I am describing it below.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The table shows the average incomes of male and female scientists who work for the National Institute of Health. Scientists working for the institute are divided in to two broad categories â MDs and PhDs. Table also shows the salary difference between male scientists and female scientists.

There are total 483 male MDs in comparison to 71 female MDs. The average salary of male MDs is slightly higher than the average salary of female MDs. The number of male PhD scientists is 473, whereas the number of female PhD scientists is 118. The average salary difference between male and female PhD scientists is about 2.5 times greater than the average salary difference between male and female MD scientists.

The number of male lab chief MD scientists is 20 times greater than the number of female lab chief MD scientists. But female lab chief MD scientistsâ average salary is higher than the male lab chief MD scientistsâ average salary. Female scientists of only this category have higher salaries than their male counterparts. The average salary of male and female lab chief PhD scientists is almost similar.

The number of male section chief MD and PhD scientists is several times greater than the number of female section chief MD and PhD scientists. The average salary difference between male and female scientists in these categories is almost same as the average salary difference between male and female MD scientists. The staff fellow PhD scientists, both males and females have the lowest salaries of all.

From this table, we can conclude that females working at same positions are getting lower salaries than their male counterparts. Furthermore, the number of male scientists having MD and PhD is much more than females. It is a surprising fact that there is still gender discrimination even in highly educated positions and departments.

it is my motivation letter for a master in finland,i come from china

Anonymous — Fri, 04 Nov 2005 14:32:54 GMT

hello,everyone.my major is furniture design,now i am applying for international master program in finland.because i have to take the ielts test in 10 December,so i have no time to correct it. now my letter is a bit longer,but i donot know where should be deleted.i need your help and advie,thanks.the deadline is January 31,2006,but i have to print it on December 15.thank you for your help.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to you an application for the Masterâs Degree in Forest product technology in Helsinki University of Technology.

I studied interior and furniture design in Northeast Forestry University from 1998 to 2002,and acquired bachelor of arts.During the four years university life,the teachers impart us plenty of theoretical knowledge,however,the major of furniture is stress on the practical ability.It is the first and most important step to a better furniture designer have a lot of working experiences.So,I often stayed in the library to look at the lasted the furniture periodical,and went to many furniture companies to practice in my own time.Through learning ,I deepen the cognition o furniture,and I master the ways of product and design to different furnitures.For instance,I studied in the list of furniture companies in my spare time.1.Pauls Furniture Company,it is the Chinese Bauhaus.2.GuangMing furniture Company,whose wood furniture are famous in China.3.LongShunCheng furniture company,in which there are the well-known red wood furniture in Beijing.4.TianTan furniture company,it is the best basis of producing office furniture in China.From these famous furniture companies,I could learn the technological process and production method.so,I spent lots of time on the pratice ,then I would discussed with my teachers. I often join in the design competition,in 2001 I acquired the award of freshmen in in HeiLongJing provinence industrial design product.because I costed most of my time to add the working experience,it lead to my academic record are ideal.however,I believe they donot represent the true ability,the plenty of working experience are the basis to success.my graduation project did not choose the furniture as the design title instead of the interior design of banqueting hall,because I feel the furniture are serviced for the interior enirovement,it is successful if the furniture become the light spot.

I came into the Beijing Shengshi Jiayuan Furniture company and become a furniture designer,which is the one of the ten biggest furniture company in Beijing.I worked on the ground ,as the salesperson,to learn the need of clients to different furniture personally ,then go to the clientâs home and survey according to the actual features,after that ,recommend every styles furnitue to them.Through six monthsâexperience,depending on the characteristics of yong people buying house,I design a small size and easy to fold sofa,which is well liked by the young men and women,and were favorably reviewed by the Janpanese and Korea clients,gave lots of overseas orders.It help me have a new discovery.In the March 2005, as the assistant of overseasâs salor manager,I attened the GuangZhou Furniture Show which is a exchange show help the Chinese furniture export to other countries .It give me more strongly touch.I found the furniture difference between china and other countries.The main reasons attracting the foreign clients are the low man power and raw material in china,however,part of the Chinese furniture copy the other countriesâs.It let me feel more strongly responsibility.

To me,as a yong female designer,it is my dream let the other people learn the Chinese furniture through my works and then drive itâs development .that must absorb the soul in Chinese furniture in Ming and Qing dynasties,at the same time prserve and save,then creat again.so,in order to learn the furniture design better,I choose the Finland as my studing country.Finland is one of the famouse design countries,have plenty of forest, two-thirds of the country is covered by forest. The most important is forest industry are the traditional main manufacturing areas,It have advanced level of technique on the technology.In the furniture design,the technology take a important part,and some innovations come from the technology,that all of all must particular learn on the technology,there are many excellent teachers on the technology in Helsinki University of Technology, they are experts in the field within both the University and industry.From them ,I should learn how to deal with the precious forest more reasonly and efficiently,then product the dairy furniture depending on every series of ways.I hope I should study the distillation of furniture technology,and link them with Chinese furniture,creat the resplendence again.

I am challenging,I hope to become the chinese Hans Wagner to understand the soul of Chinese traditional furniture so better,then add them into the simple style in North Europe,create a new style.

Next to the love of furniture design,I also like adventure.I go to a strange city to find out the nature of the city alone.During the holiday time,I have traveled the big cities in china ,it not only steel my fortitudinous and bravely character but also extend my knowledge.in February 2005,I went to the Tibet and Yun Nan province by myself,they are two of the most specially cities in China,which are the minority settlements.Local culture and custom give me another elicitation to life and new uptake to design.I spent three months to learn the furniture markets everywhere in China between April and July in 2005,that help me have a thorough understanding to the actual state of Chinese furniture.So,I deepen the determination to go aboard for study more than ever.I wish I should help the Chinese furniture keep up with the developed countries on the technology and design,decrease the gap .Let the people in the world look at the characteristic Chinese furniture.

After graduation,I hope I could come into the famous furniture companies to learn,then come back,let the soul of Chinese traditional furniture combine with the modern furniture,and help the Chinese furniture stand on the worldâs arena once again,expecially in 2008 BeiJing the Olympic Games,let the friends from other countries enjoy the charm of Chinese furniture.

Yours sincerely
