Hi there, I would like to send a message to my friend who left her company and is going to have business on its own. Please help me to review my messenger below. Much appreciated. Hi Meghan, I heard from Harry that you left AEC recently. I am not really sure what you are going to do for the next, but I am sure you can perform self-actualization no matter what your choice, and it would certainly be an awesome life. I appreciate your optimism, professionalism, and patient that always affect everyone around you to move toward the goals. There are a lot of things I have learned from you. Thanks again for everything you have done for me.

A farewell letter, Please help me to revise it to be polite and nature. I have enjoyed this job during my tenure, and I appreciate having had the opportunity to work with you. Thank you for the support, guidance, and encouragement you have shown or given me during my time at this position. LRL company is really a model of excellence in program management, professional ability, dedicated attitude, and team leadership which are objects worthy of recognition and learning. Thanks for your contribution to helping our country to boost alternative energy industry capability. It’s a privilege for me to have a chance to engage these important programs, in particular, it is significant and meaningful to me who had been served in a power plant. I believe both Tai-Power company and Don company got experience and lessons from the programs. I may stay at the LR trading company as an agent for a while until I find a suitable position or job for myself. Please let me know if you come to visit Taiwan again. I would like to entertain you by testing authentic Chinese food here. Thanks again for everything. I wish you all the best.

What's the meaning of " keep us advised"? I send an email to my friend and he responds saying "Appreciate you keeping us advised." What the meaning of " keep us advised" is?

The email request for a response, please help me to revise it to be more formal and polite Just let you know that Joe and myself join the company’s travel activity. We are going to travel to Vietnam from 11/ 27 to 12/1. I am afraid that I can't accompany you and Tom after 11/27, and neither does Joe. However, if you would like to stay in Taiwan longer after 11/26, I will manage all the affairs of transportation and going into W-company in advance. Please kindly send to me and W-company your itinerary of staying in Taiwan.

Is there anyone who can help me to correct my email making it more formal and polite? Annotation: A U.S company has a subcontract with an HK trading company that hires me as an in-country engineer to support a program. The customer asked for going to the US to attend a meeting and they want me accompanying them. The US Company also agreed it is good for both parties if I could attend the meeting. The problem is no one would like to pay my travel expenses. The US Company believes that the travel expenses are the responsibility of the trading company but here the trading company has a different opinion. I would like to send an email to the US Company to explain why I can't attend the meeting. Is there anyone who can help me to correct my email making it more formal and polite? My email as follows: Thank you for your invitation. It's my privilege if I would have a chance to get to attend the meeting in San Francisco and it is also a good opportunity to meet with your team to better understand the company. However, I have discussed it with the manager and I think that the meeting to be held in San Francisco is not part of an original plan; these are additional requests from the customer. Therefore, I am afraid that I cannot get to the US to attend the meeting for the reason of no proper/specific category-budget to finance the travel expenses. But you don’t need to worry about it; I believe Anny can manage everything in San Francisco.

How to think in English For many second language learners, they’re likely to understand a new word by translating it into the mother tongue. This is just an obstacle for a learner to think in English, but what the real meaning of thinking in English is. Actually, there are many different approaches that experts mentioned and we also found some of the recommended approaches in common. The most common thing is that you should try to avoid the translating process in your mind whatever you are reading, writing, speaking, or listening. The meaning of thinking in English is to understand English in it’s per se which is to interpret English over its own, especial for those words you don’t know. You should throw out those dictionaries which explain in a bilingual language but the only English language instead. There are some advantages to think in English, the sentence of structure for example. Because of the different cultures formed their language and thinking logic, it is impossible that all your native words or sentences can exactly map to those of other languages. However, the mapping gaps between these different languages are always there. The process of translation is just like an approach that we are struggling to figure out how to link them up while studying. You might be curious that we are not living in an English environment and how we could think in English. Maybe you should try to use English on a daily basis regardless of on a walk, waiting for a bus, and take exercise. This is really useful for molding the way of thinking in English. We may take consideration that we could try to develop a dual mechanism that takes charge of different language processing respectively.

Thinking In English Many people recommend that you had better try to think in the way of English while you’re learning English. It means that you don’t need to translate your mother’s tongue into English and vice versa. What’s the difference between the way that you thinking in your own language and in another language? Once I went to practice golf in a driving range. When I took a rest that I noticed a child he was just swinging golf and his movements were so fascinating that drawing my attention. A man who is just next to him was totally different from the child, though the man’s movements were correct. The man’s body is too stiff to fully spin and it causes the problem in harmony with upper arm movements. It is pretty much like studying English. The younger you are the easier for your study. We always interpret the English with our understanding and knowledge which means for each of the vocabularies we encounter it all need to be translated into our language. For adults, they are more tend to comprehend the word by their logic. The logic is formed for many years and it can hardly be changed. Translation becomes a necessary process can’t bypass regardless of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. However, this process is just an obstacle to learning a new language.
