Hi Matt,

I was merely sharing with you my perspective of your letter. I did say âI got the ideaâ; didn't I? Since you âbeggedâ so sincerely, so I gave you my honest opinion. Responding to your comments, Iâd say this. Writing letters aside, if we ask a few people to describe an object, or to deliver a detailed account of some kind, the same topic may show up in different shades of colors, tones and clarity. The point of my comment was, the intended thoughts or contents by one author may or may not be the same as the rest and therefore the delivery will be perceived respectively. The difference is in the thought composition, rhetoric, fluency and clarity in the delivery. If I had caused you any mental anguish, or irritated feeling by comments I made, please donât take it personal. There are good advices and not so good ones in any forum. You are the one to decide which good ones to keep and discard. But responding to the helpers with an attitude wonât advance your cause. Iâve learned through experience, defensiveness is an unfavorable quality.

My Dear Goodman,

There seems to be a great misconception. Let me take it to its grave. You did NOT say anything that would cause me any mental anguish, or irritate me in any way. In fact, I respect and appreciate your comments and perspective from the bottom of my heart. To me attitude just means a personal view of something, it can be positive or negative. However, I always try to keep it positive. I can be a little casual at times but don't mean any harm. At work I like to have a healthy skepticism about the management. It keeps me from taking them serious and thus prevents me from getting too upset about their stupidity.

The advices you have offered me are very precious, and a very few people offer such advices. You people are the precious gifts of God, and I dare not disrespect you ever. I apologize, if you think I have offended you in some way.

By the way, I did NOT "beg". I just made a request, because I think "begging" can be irritating.

So, shall we get back to the letter now? Could you please tell me if there are ANY grammar mistakes in it?

Thank you,

Great regards,

Matt

With regard to I have been writing ..., you end your post with the question

so you mean i I have done six letters

The answer is "No". When I explain have been writing in terms of were working on, I don't mean have done; I mean have been doing.

Maybe a point of confusion lies with the progressive tenses - the ones with the -ing forms.
If we can say that we were writing letters, and we continue writing them up to the moment of speaking, we can say we have been writing letters.
If we can say that we wrote letters, we can say that we have written letters.

were writing does not mean wrote.
have been writing does not mean have written.

were writing and have been writing both say that an activity was in progress, not that it finished.
wrote and have written both say that the writing finished.

Re: HELP! I wish feedback on my motivation letter

Hello Emilia,

It seems you did a quite good job! I have highlighted several phrases that caught my eye. I hope they will be useful in your quest for a scholarship!

Remember that you should use "Yours faithfully" instead of "Yours sincerely" if you do not know the name of the recipient. By the way, it is often beneficial to add a succinct summary of your letter in the last paragraph. People tend to remember the contents of your last paragraph, so try to make it clear why you should get the scholarship in that paragraph. A convincing conclusion is very important when writing letters to people who read umpteen letters a day

If you should have any further questions, please feel free to ask! I am by no means reprobating your letter, so don't be discouraged

Good luck!

Dear Sirs and Madams, (comma)
Here I am; an open-minded Swedish-speaking young Finnish woman. I am studying for a masterâs degree in Mathematics with a specialization in teacherâs training at the Faculty of Mathematics & Natural Sciences at the University ***. I have always wanted to incorporate an international experience into my degree; however, the moment has not been right until now. Receiving one of the scholarship offered by the YY Organization would make it possible for (Consider "enable") me to participate in the degree program called the (Unnecessary) âJoint Masterâs Degree in Mathematics and Educationâ at the University ZZ. Courses in this program would definitely provide my degree with an individual profundity. (Full stop) Of course, having studied at one of the top U.S. universities is a notable experience for the future.

Presently, I am in the fifth year of my degree program (Full stop). I have a strong academic background and my plan is to have completed all courses in the main and minor subjects (Are there other subjects? If not, this part is unnecessary as you already refer to "all courses") by the end of this academic year. My intention is to take some additional advanced courses and write my masterâs thesis in the academic year of 2006-2007. I am contented with my choice of study field. I have worked full time as a teacherâs substitute for one semester and it was a very positive experience. Topics on mathematics education and how a young person develops his or her mathematical thinking interest me. In five years I picture myself working professionally with these issues. Full stop It is very likely that I am doing research. At the University ZZ I intend to participate in courses from the âJoint Masterâs Degree in Mathematics and Educationâ program. There are special courses focusing exactly on this special area of mine (unnecessary) and simultaneously this program will give me the chance to interact with other like-minded students in an intercontinental environment. Since I also would participate in the program representing the good Finnish reputation in mathematics, I am convinced that I could contribute to broadening their international point of view as well.

I describe myself as a social, positive and ambitious person. Furthermore, comma my personality shows a big (not very formal, consider large) sense of responsibility and consideration. I easily adapt myself (remove) to new situations and I only regard it as a multi-faceted experience to study and live at a big campus. I have been volunteering one year as a tutor for exchange students coming to Finland so I am quite familiar with what one might come across abroad. I enjoy meeting new people and getting acquainted with other cultures. I particularly hope to befriend native speaking people in order to improve my English skills in a natural way. As link in the chain, this would also facilitate the work on my masterâs thesis, since I opt to write it in English. I am an active person with a lot of energy and a big passion for nature and outdoor sports, comma so the region of Madison with its magnificent nature is an ideal place.

These compound words

Are they completely the same between writing letters and letter writing? Do we normally write a heading in plural or singular e.g. Writing Letters or Writing a Letter? I think i post this in a wrong section. Anyway, hope any response from you.

Re: Tense meaning

Dear CalifJim,

I'd like to clarify one point in your answer. You told me that in the PAST TENSE an adverbial of DURATION works more with the SIMPLE form of the verb, whether in the PRESENT TENSE it works better with the PROGRESSIVE form of the verb, is that so?

ex1: We WATCHED tv ALL NIGHT.
We WERE WATCHING tv AT 10 o'clock last night. (AT = adverbial of point in time)

ex2: It RAINED ALL DAY.
It was raining WHEN I went to bed. / When I woke up it was raining.

ex3: I WROTE letters ALL morning.
I WAS WRITING letters WHEN the phone rang. (WHEN = point in time)

but:

ex4: a) It has rained ALL NIGHT.
b) It HAS BEEN RAINING all night. [b) is better than a) ? but is a) OK?]

Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards,
Hela

Letter Writing

Dear all,

I am a new comer and now I am learning English - especially letter writing. Could you please explain to me how to write a reply to one of my close relatives on his letter? Also I would like to know how to write a request to the management to promote me to the level of supervisor and give an increse in my salary.

Also, when I am writing letter to anyone, it is taking more than an hour (sometime more than two) to complete the letter. It is because of fear of mistakes and I used to correct it for perfection. What shall I do to reduce the time for writing letters without mistakes?

Thank you and best regards,

cbakumar

(If any mistake found in my letter please forgive me and correct it.)
