a boring letter to a friend

perch88

Hi ***,

Nice to hear from you in the early morning. You must have spent the whole morning searching a good name for me and looking at the ticket. I really appreciate it.

Unfortunately, Sep**-** is not good for me since I have an ***wedding to attend. I only have two ***friends here in ***. They are both female and single. I knew **who took me to the **tour when I first came here. I knew **last Christmas when she hosted a table at a **party. **is going to be married on Sep** at church. I won't miss it and would like to see what an **wedding looks like.

It is hard for me to predict the spare time I had for the next semester, which was supposed to be very busy. I had 4 courses to take and a research project of ***. The midterm project report due in Jan 08 and I need time to do a lot of simulations and writing.

My schedule for today is to sleep at about 11:30pm. I had to go to the airport with another person to welcome ***. Then I will take the 9:40am bus to ***. The time to be back is still in the air. I will let you know whenever I know & have access to internet. TTYL:)

We Chinese usually use 此致! and 敬礼! at the very end of a letter. That is what we learned in primary school. But it is too formal to use in email, I think. We use 祝好！(wish you all the best) instead in email if writing to unfamiliar people. We use nothing or 'Best regards,' for people we are familiar with and to those who know English.


Best regards,
***

麻烦大家猛拍，谢！

You are really very luck to have someone help you to do the things you don't like~

看不出什么错误啊,不过每个人写作风格不一样,比如perch88特喜欢to加个动词跟到名词后面，这种结构语法上叫什么呢？ 都记不得了

动词不定式做定语，定语后置

Both of you learned Grammer well~~

谢谢指点，我怎么没注意阿
我写的时候就是想什么，然后写成英语，基本不去想很复杂的句式和结构，也想不出来:L
写完最后修改一遍，原则是让我写的东西不那么boring，可还是很boring:L

I do think people understand each other much better while communicate to others face to face ~~As body language plays a very important role in it

Support:
1.70% of the communication is unverbal.    " Criminal Minds "
2.Face to face works pretty well.                " Prison Break "
