Please correct my English- Night owls Scientists have cast new light on the effects of sleeping late on our physical and mental health. Going to bed late can damage our health and even shorten our life. The study have found that night owls, people who go to bed late ,are more likely to suffer health problems. The problems include heart diseases,stroke diabetes, stomach and breathing problems etc.. These days more and more people are getting used to watch TV, tablet and smart phone before bedtime. More screen time is often associated with delayed bedtime, fewer hours of sleep and poorer sleeping quality. Because the light from the screens can trick our body thinking that it is still daytime. That will keep our brain active and upset our body clock. In addition , people who lack of sleep are at higher risk of suffering mental diseases ,such as depression and anxiety. Because sleeping late can affect and alter our brain chemistry. For instance, some people find it hard to concentrate on their work and study if they have a late night. As an old saying goes: “Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy,wealthy and wise.” It also explains why some people are emotionally stable and resilient than others.   If you want to live a healthier life, you should try to go to bed earlier. Thank you for your time!

A voluntary work A few months ago, I took part in an interesting voluntary service which was organized by the local community. This charity project was called Get Working project. It was aimed at helping the unemployed people in the area get back to work. As volunteers, our job was to help them improve telephone skills, such as writing down messages and speak with confidence to potential customers, which they had found really difficult. But it is something that most employers look for in job applicants. This project has been carrying out for the past five years. Feedback from participants has been overwhelmingly positive, because they felt that they were doing something really useful. Nearly everyone agreed that taking part in this event made them feel more motivated at their own work and was valued by them. Some also said that it was a good thing to have on their CVs.   People who received the training felt more confident in communication afterwards. Some of them find a job quickly after attending the courses. I hope more volunteers will join this project to benefit more people in need.

You are what you eat I think healthy diet is essential for everyone. Eating more healthy food like vegetables and fruits is important to improve both our physical and mental health. Junk food including candy, potato chips and fried chickens etc are something I only indulge myself in once in a while. Some of my friends call me health freak. I think it is totally worth it as I believe you are what you eat. Recently I read an interesting article about this topic . According to what I read, scientists have cast new light on the effects our diet has on our mental health. The study found that what we ate can affect and alter our brain chemistry. This explains why some people are more emotionally stable and resilient than others.

An advice about choosing subjects at university. Hi Sara, I understand that you are thinking about what subjects you should choose to study at university. As you know, I made this kind of decision a few years ago, so perhaps I can give you some suggestions.   First, you should probably consider whether the subjects can offer you a greater employment possibilities and help you find a job that you are interested in. As you know, completing a degree is    an investment of time and money. If the subjects can fill the knowledge gaps in the labour market, that will probably help you pursue a career leading to high pay and an improved standard of living. This explains why some people tend to choose vocational courses these days.   Second, you may also consider if the area of knowledge matches your interests. If you study something you are passionate about, you will study with enthusiasm. People developing their talents in their preferred areas of study are more likely to achieve success afterwards.   Anyway, whichever subjects you decide to study, I am sure you will have a great success in the future.

Problem solving letter Dear Sir or Madam, A few weeks ago I bought a 1000GB hard drive from your store in New Bridge street. I was really happy to arrange all my work files with this hd until yesterday. Yesterday morning I started to use work file from hd, but it took a really long time to read and it was stuck in the end. I tried turning on and off my computer several times, but it did not work. I could not open the files at all. This is why I am writing to you.   I have a lot of work which should have been finished by today. Also, all of my meeting appointment files was in that hd. I could not see the places and time, so I had to cancel them out. Yesterday afternoon I called your customer service, but they explained that I have to wait at least ten working days.   I can’t deal with all my urgent matters without this ad, so I could not wait  such a long time to fix it. It is still under guarantee. I hope you can assign a staff who is skilled at solving this kind of technical problem as soon as possible. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Your faithfully, Ann Law
