Re: Noun clauses Vs adjective clauses

Dear Ms

I'd really appreciate your reply to my first letter. But in the sentence: "The news that he won surprised us all." that he won- is the noun clause;according to one of the website on the Internet. In the sentence "The fact that the earth is round is obvious." that the earth is round'-is a noun clause, according to you and many other refferences. What is the difference between the two sentences? Please expound clearly. In addition, I've come across some more difficult sentences such "It's a time that wars should cease." -that wars should cease is a noun clause used as an apposition to the word"time"; is it correct?- According to the high school grammar book from India.
To me, it seems to be complicated when there is not precise explantion on using noun clauses and adjective clauses.

I am looking forward to hearing again form you.

Yours faithfully,
Sothy Sin

Hi,

This is a good letter. I've made some suggestions, so please read carefully. Look at my changes about articles. Also, try to avoid repetition of words, like 'stereo'. Use pronouns.

Dear Sir/Madam,

     I am writing in connection with a personal stereo which I saw advertised in your mail order catalogue. Last week I bought one of these, and I am sorry to say that I was very disappointed when I received it.

     First of all, your advertisement stated that the price would be lower than in any shop but I saw the same stereo at a price of $14.99 instead of $19.99.

     Furthermore, your advertisement promised that it would be a high-quality stereo complete with all necessary accessories. However, when I received it, the headphones were missing and there was a broken zip on the carrying bag. As well, the recording facility did not work, and I have already destroyed two tapes that contained my favourite musical compositions.

     Finally, you also promised that it would be a compact and portable device. However, the stereo was so big and heavy that it could not be carried in a pocket.

     Could you please arrange for me to receive a new one or refund my money in full?

     I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Peter Petrov.

Thank you very much for your corrections and useful advice.

Re: Writing a letter of purpose - may anyone help me?

nona the brit — Wed, 27 Dec 2006 12:12:33 GMT

I've only thoroughly checked the parts you've highlighted in blue as I take it these are the words you are not sure of. If I've left them blue, they are ok, or I've made corrections in red.

However, a quick scan shows many other problems. I get the impression you wrote this with a dictionary in your hand and have tried to force in as many complex words as possible to impress the reader - but you are not using them all correctly and the effect is rather comical in parts. Go through and re-write with your normal, natural, language. I've highlighted the worst errors for you in yellow but there are also others, for example you have problems knowing when to use an/a. and with captialisation of proper nouns.

Dear Sir or Madam,
with this letter I want to explain my motivation to spend one semester in Norway generally and at the BI Norwegian School of Management in particular to broaden my business acquirements and my individual experiences. I am currently in my seventh semester of my studies in Business Administration and Engineering (Dipl.-Ing.) at the University of Technology and I am scheduling my stay abroad for the 10^th semester which is my last graduate semester, starting in january 2008. After an internship I am going to finalise my studies at the end of the 11^th semester.

From an experience abroad I am expecting a challenge in professional and personal domains and I hope to improve my in-depht knowledge, my language ability and other crucial qualifications at a distinguished university in the culturally and historically very interesting capital city of Oslo. Getting a new perspective on my life from a foreign european country is one of my major intents.
I finished my undergraduate studies very successfully in the fifth semester, whereupon I was furthermore permited to attend some graduate courses.
In my graduate courses I focussed technically on automobile engineering and logistics, economically on infrastructure and in business on finance / investment and strategic management, whereupon my performance was above average. Because my semester abroad is going to be my last one, I will bring along plenty of knowledge, what keeps determined and prosperous studies at BI Norwegian School of Management in good stead.
Among my studies I am working at the ***, an economic teaching and research unit in the School of Economics & Management at Berlin University of Technology as a project assistant. This is were I also wrote my âStudienarbeit â which deals with an economic topic concerning comparisons between âPublic-Private-Partnershipsâ and the traditional procurement approac h. In the framework of the project work at the ***, where I am assigned basically technical work, my skills to work arduous, motivated and my ability to work under hard pressure have received very positive apprasials. Due to a project lasting until December 2007, it is regrettably not possible for me to spend a whole academic year abroad. After my degree I am planning a career in the field of management with a bias towards automotive industry, whereas am not commited yet. Work placements and other practical experiences as well as my work at the *** should encourage my decision making.

I choose the country of Norway as my desired destination abroad, because I have been fascinated by this country for a long time. With an unique history and its inimitable residents and the terrific nature, Norway provides a multitude of well worth knowing and unique peculiarities. Because the language of instruction is going to be English and this language accompanied my until my âAbiturâ in an specialised course, I discern no problems in communication during and besides the studies. Thereby I think it will be feasible to settle in the norwegian society and to experience the culture and people. During three long journeys, I had the chance to discover â even if from a perspective of an vacationist â the interesting and enriching sides of Norway and its citizens.

The BI Norwegian School of Management provides an opportunity for me to achieve the goals I expect from a stay abroad. The BI as the largest business school in Europe is a worldwide known and reputable, international orientated school and it would be an ideal supplement to my attended studies with the courses (predominantly in strategic management) I selected from the wide range of course options. The consequent demand to educate for an successful career accomodates me very much. The courses offered fit very well with my hitherto existing studies, my interests and my abilities because teamwork, ??? and ??? looms large . Studies at the BI Norwegian School of Management would furthermore, due to the internationality of the school, provide an insight into nationalities and cultures throughout the world. This would open up new and diverse perspectives and it would broaden my horizon with supposably grandiose experiences.

I hope with this letter I revealed my impetus and my desire to spend one semester in an amazing country at an unique school of management. I feel confident that my qualifications are more than sufficient and that I am able to meet the postulated and the forthcoming demands.

I am looking forward to a potential semester at the BI Norwegian School of Management and I hope I managed to convince you of my personage and my request. Hopefully you get down toa positive appraisal of my application.

Thank you very much for your efforts.

Yours faithfully

Hola Kriss, let me make a stab at it... Mind you though coz I'm not a native...

Dear Madam or Sir,

I would like to put myself at your disposal for the position of Spanish language conversation(nal ?) assistant at education centres in your country. I wish to explain my motivation in a few words.

I am a 4^th year Translation and Interpreting student at the University of Granada (Spain) and I am applying for this position that I view as a unique occasion for sharing my knowledge in Spanish language and culture, while at the same time ** seeking to complement my skills and experience ; my goal being to acquire the background necessary for my future as a professional translator and language teacher.

I believe this program as conversation assistant would provide me the ideal opportunity to contribute at your university and to improve my skills in English language and culture.

As I am seriously considering specializing in teaching languages after I qualify as a translator, I am keenly interested in gaining more theoretical knowledge and practical skills in this area, especially in teaching Spanish as a foreign language ; so I would hope to be given the opportunity to work as language assistant abroad.

In addition to my university studies, my experience includes working part-time as a English and French teacher with children from Primary and Secondary school. So I believe that the combination of my little experience and my academic training is well-suited to the language assistant position you described.

United Kingdom is my first choice as a foreign country, both because fellow students have spoken very highly of language training there and because I visited UK (? Birmingham ?) in summer 2001 and fell in love with the country. I am very eager to return whenever the opportunity arises.

I am seeking a career that will allow me to work with people in many different ways. I hope you'll give me this opportunity as much as I believe that I am qualified for the position you are trying to fill.

I have enclosed a copy of my qualifications and some information about me. Also I'm enclosing a reference ?letter? from Clara InÃ©s ---------. Should you need any further information on my background and qualifications, please let me know.

With these words, I therefore wish to submit my candidature for your consideration, and I thank those who already have expressed their support. I am available for your comments and questions at any time.

Thank you very much for your time and for assessing my request. I am looking forward to your reply.

Yours faithfully,

I think you made very few grammatical mistakes. I felt I should change few words because you would sometimes use the same word twice (or the verb and the corresponding noun whithin the same sentence).
Definitely not as good as what you could get from a native but I sure did my best.

Buena suerte con tu applicacion (!?), chica (mon espagnol est trÃ¨s 'petit nÃ¨gre').
WaÃ¯ti.

Re: Can someone help me to write my motivation letter? (A Spanish in trouble..)

Nef — Fri, 06 Jan 2006 07:14:06 GMT

Hello,

Here are a few ideas. I am being fairly picky (critical) because you asked for comments. I understood most of your letter very well. Good luck with your application!

---------------------

Dear Sirs, (If you are sure that only men will read your letter, this is fine. If it is possible that either men or women will read your letter, I think it is better to say Dear Sir/Ma'am, Dear Sir or Madam, or To Whom it May Concern. If you can find out the name or job title of the person who will read your letter, you might use that as a form of address.)

As you know I'm recently graduated in Chemical Engineering. (I'm wondering if you are sure the reader will know this.) Also, you might want to say "I'm a recent graduate in Chemical Engineering." or "I'm a recent graduate who majored in Chemical Engineering."

At this point, I find very important the election of the first significative job, because it can determine the future development of my professional career.

At this point, I find the choice of my first significant job very important, because it can determine the future development of my professional career. (I'm changing the placement of the "very important" and using "significant" rater than "significative," which is not a common word.)

It's very easy to explain why I want to work in a brewery: in one hand, it fit fits my technical expectatives. expectations.

(1. I am not sure what "in one hand" means here.

2. "It fits" is because "it" is third person singular. (I fit, you fit, he/she/it fits...

3. "Expectations" is a common word; "expectatives" may not be a word at all.)

As an (you need "an" here) engineer, the beer industry is a very complete sector where I can learn and share with you my recent knowledge, acquired in all those years, in the last latest technologies of water and solids treatment, fermentation processes, refrigeration systems, gas recuperation... or, related with the management aspects, such as production and distribution control, supply chain, environmental and health implications, as well as the economics of the operation, etc..

I am not sure if "recuperation" is the right word here. "Recuperation" usually refers to recovery from an illness (regaining good health after a disease). Would "recovery," a more general term which might refer to regaining or gathering something, work better?

Also, this is a very long sentence. I'd start a new sentence to discuss the management aspects. For instance, something like: "A job in this industry also would provide me with an excellent opportunity to apply and increase my knowledge of management aspects such as...")

On the other, (OK, now I see what the first hand was for! But your hands are so far apart here, are separated by so many words, that the connection between the two hands gets dropped. I'd suggest not mentioning the first hand at all. If you want to, for the second hand, try saying:

On the other hand, it's pretty hard to explain my personal desire in working in a "life" industry like this. As an enthusiastic enthusiast ("enthusiast" is a noun, "enthusiastic" is an adjective; you could say as an enthusiastic ______, )

If you wanted a shorter sentence, you could say "As a beer and wine enthusiast (in the good sense), I've participated..."

of the culture of the (you don't need, and shouldn't have, this "the") beer and wine (in the good sense...), Iâve participated in the recollection (I'm not sure of the meaning here. Is it possible that you are talking about a harvest?) campaign of the last seasons in one of the most important wine shires (This is the right word for English English; if you want American English, say "counties" instead of "shires") of my country and I would like to work in the production area or any similar like engineer. or in a related area as an engineer.

Furthermore, I have always had a strong desire to work in an international environment. Youâre one of the most important beer productor all over the world and I find this as an unique opportunity. Your company is one of the most important beer producers in the world, and I think this is a unique opportunity.

I would describe myself as an active, mature, curious, hands-on and flexible person. Iâm willing to work on new
projects with new colleagues and to increase and share my knowledgement knowledge. Iâm an enduring a loyal team player but Iâm willing to accept responsibility.

I would be pleased if my application wakes your interest. I enclose my CV for your consideration. Please do not
hesitate to contact me if you require any further details.

Yours faithfully,

Re: How to end a letter

Anonymous — Thu, 13 Oct 2005 09:41:14 GMT

If you know the name of the person you are addressing - e.g. if you started the letter Dear Mr... then you should end the letter Yours sincerely,...

If you do not know the letter of the person you are addressing - e.g. if you started the letter Dear Sir or Madam or To Whom It May Concern, you should end the letter Yours Faithfully or Yours Truly.

It is possible to end the letter:

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Yours sincerely (or faithfully or truly),

[your name and signature]

"IÂ´ve found several choices:
a) I am looking forward to hearing you
b) I am looking forward to meeting you
c)Thanks in advance
d)Sincerely yours. "

Firstly - it is best to drop the personal pronoun "I" from this sentence in a formal letter and simply to use the construction shown above "Looking forward" instead of "I am looking forward" - The sentence under a) is not correct s it is missing the from - the sentence under b) is correct and could be used if you are certain you will be meeting the addressee (e.g. if it is an RSVP or something) - c) is not formal a more formal construction of this sentence would be 'Thank you in advance' and d) the word order should be switched - 'Yours sincerely' not 'Sincerely yours.'

response to P.D. - the sentence It is suppose that I have to write a letter is incorrect English the second is correct.

Hope this helps.

Re: Plural Nouns without Quantifiers

Hello aruzinsky, and I'm really sorry for my misunderstanding. These kinds of problems don't exist in my mother tongue, so I'm afraid I cannot give you any convincing data or analyses.

I need other members' help!

And, by "extreme," I meant not "uncommon."
I don't think that some hyperbolic effect is contained in bare plurals. I intended treat only this constant.

I've never visited the Legal English forum, seems interesting. I'd sincerely recommend it and wish you success.

And the last one: [It seems to me that a classification of usages should begin with a collecting of survey data to be statistically analysed. It might be determined that some language constructs are used very inconsistently, even in the same contexts, in which case, it may not be appropriate to give such a language construct a single usage (?) or logical form (?). ]

Sure, I'm interested the function of the language in communication, too. But we don't have tools for proper analyses. And you misunderstood what I said before, I'm afraid. As I said, even sentences with definite /indefinite articles, too, have two (or several) usages. Needless to say about bare plurals.
I've never said that we should give [such a language construct a single usage or logical form].

Anyway, unfortunately the problem of bare plurality concerns my theme. I'll be interested in your discussion, and will be glad if I could do something for you..!

Yours faithfully,

The possessive of "your" is simply "yours". It is not correct to use an apostrophe at all with possessive pronouns.

Correct usage is:
