Could anyone help me with this sentence in Virginia Woolf's diary? 1. What does it mean by "couldn't take her hot water" here? 2. And, does "ringed jersey" here mean having a different colour on the collar and cuffs? Thank you very much! The diary entry goes like this: Vita [Sackville-west] was here for Sunday, gliding down the village in her large new blue Austin car, which she manages consummately. She was dressed in ringed yellow jersey, and large hat, and had a dressing case all full of silver and nightgowns wrapped in tissue. Nelly [Woolf's housekeeper] said ‘If only she weren’t an honourable!’ and couldn’t take her hot water. But I like her being honourable, and she is it; a perfect lady, with all the dash and courage of the aristocracy, and less of its childishness than I expected.

Hi there! I have some questions about English speaking: •How could I speak English more fluently?😨 I always want to ensure that my pronunciation and intonation are accurate enough. I also don't want to make any grammatical mistake in my dialogue. So it takes me much time to organize my words and speak them out. But I just found that these two bad habits make my words lengthy, weird and I can't speak faster. (Maybe it's time for me to learn phonetic skills? •Which kinds of accents is widely used and suitable for learning?😦 I like both British accent and American accent so I've learned all the phonetics of these two accents. But British accent sometimes confuses me. It seems that It's a blend of many local pronunciations, which makes it hard for me to catch up with native speakers' dialogues. Besides, it seems that its words and phrases are using in a very different way, like: A: Wagwan, Pang ting innit? B: Say nothing Bruv. I really enjoy learning different accents as well as English speaking!! I'd be appreciative of your practical suggestions!!😊

Hi, can someone tell me if this application letter is correct? Good morning, my name is Giuseppe Mirabella, and I'm writing to express my interest in working with your company. I'm eager to find a new role where I can contribute with my creative skills. I am interested in positions as a social media manager, copywriter and/or as an assistant graphic designer. To be honest, I'm contacting you because I have had too many disappointments with Italian marketing agencies, and to be even more honest, I think professionalism is lacking. I need to take a leap forward, to prove to myself and others that I am worth much more. As detailed in my CV, my professional and studies background is primarily rooted in communication. My recent tenure with XXXX agency afforded me the opportunity to service prominent clients. An experience that enhanced my learning but also bolstered my confidence in my professional capabilities. I appreciate your time and consideration and I look forward to the possibility of discussing how I can contribute to your team. Warm regards.
