Hi Mary,
Thank you for writing to me and I will try to give you some ideas about improving your written English. The bad news, of course, is that there is no e 92 way to do this. It takes work.
Improving your English, like getting better at anything else, means lots of practice. I think you already know enough words and grammar in English to make sentences and to understand English, and the problem you have is as the problem all Chinese students have when they learn English. You go to English class a couple of times a week and the r 93 of the time you speak Chinese. If you come to Canada, your English would improve very q 94 because you would use it all day, every day. It’s just practice.
To improve your writing in English, you should do t 95 things. First, you should try to read English as much as possible. It doesn’t matter what you read, so pick something that interests you. Reading English will show you how English words are used together, how English speakers express themselves and so on, so you can learn a lot from that. Then you should practice writing. Ask your teacher if you can get extra assignments and write things like short stories. Your teacher can show you where you make mistakes and how to c 96 them. You can also write more letters to English speakers on the Internet (I will be happy to exchange letters with you if that will help). Don’t worry if you make mistakes b 97 that is how you learn.
You say you can not obey your plans. In English we say, “Plan the work, work the plan.” You need a plan and then you need to follow your plan to improve.
I hope these ideas are u 98 . I wish you luck, and if you want to write to me I will be happy to try to help you. We can talk about China, about Canada or anything else you like.
Best wishes,
Brad Flankin

When Chinese people find out that someone comes from London, they often say, "London is a foggy city, isn't it?" British people who visit China often have to say that London is not a foggy city at all! In fact, London u 92 to be a foggy city, but it isn't any more.
　 In London, lots of its pollution came from factories, but a lot of it came from coal (煤) because people burned it in their houses to keep w 93 during the winter. By the 1950s, London's air pollution had become so bad that the government decided to do something to clean up the air. A new rule was made. It said that n 94 was allowed to burn coal in any British city. Just a few years later, the air became much cleaner.
　 Now many Chinese cities meet the same kind of p 95 with air pollution that London met forty or fifty years ago. However, it is more d 96 for Chinese cities to solve it. First, more of the pollution comes from big factories than from coal that people use in their houses. If these factories are suddenly c 97 , lots of people will lose their jobs. Second, cleaner fuels are quite expensive. However, the air in many cities is already s 98 becoming cleaner, because the government and ordinary people are trying to make pollution less.

Shanghai, a beautiful city during the day, becomes even more wonderful at night. At the end of the day, both the older part of the city around the Bund and the more m 92 buildings in Pudong are full of colorful bright lights. The buildings, both new and old, look c 93 different and very exciting.
If you look across the Huangpu River, you can see the brilliant Oriental Pearl TV Tower and the Jinmao Tower. Take a boat a 94 the river and you can see the amazing nightlife on the Bund. There are more than 30 tour boats, including ancient dragon boats in the Ming and Qing styles and boats made in the Shikumen style.

Eyes Can Speak
Much meaning can be carried clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.
Do you have such kind of e 92 ? In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he f 93 that he is being looked at, he may feel uncomfortable. The same is in the daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at y 94 up and down, to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward the person who is looking at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?
Looking too long at someone may seem to be r 95 . But sometimes things are different. If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds, it may mean that he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he loves her. W 96 two people are in a conversation, the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what he or she is speaking. Lovers will enjoy looking at each other or being looked at for a long time, to show something that w 97 cannot express.
Clearly, eye contact should be done according to the relationship b 98 two people and the place where you stay.

Small moments sometimes last a very long time. And a few words — though they mean little at the time to the people who say them — can have great power.
I recently heard a s 92 from Malcolm Davis, who has been a professional writer for the last twenty-four years, mostly in advertising.
As a boy, Davis was t 93 shy and helpless He had f 94 friends and no self-confidence. Then one day, his high-school English teacher, Ruth White, asked the class to write their own chapter that would f 95 the last chapter of the novel since they had been reading To Kill a Mockingbird. Davis wrote his chapter and turned it in. Today he cannot recall a 96 special about the chapter he wrote, or what grade Mrs. White gave him. However, what he does remember is the four words in the paper: “This is good writing.” Four words. They c 97 his life.
“Until I read those words, I had no idea of who I was or what I was or what I was going to be,” he said, “After reading her note, I went home and wrote a short story, something I had always dreamed of doing but never believed I could do.” Over the r 98 of that year in school, he wrote many short stories and always brought them to Mrs. White for instruction. “She was encouraging, helping and honest. She was just what I needed,” Davis said.

I was in New York and rode with a friend in a taxi. When we got out, my friend said to the driver, “Thank you. You did a good job of driving.”
The driver was surprised for a second.
“I admire the way you keep cool in h 92 traffic,” my friend said. “Thank you,” the driver said and drove off. “What was that all about?” I asked.
“I am trying to bring l 93 back to New York,” he said. “I believe it can save the city.”
“How can one man save New York?”
“It’s not one man. S 94 the driver has 20 passengers. He’s going to be nice to those 20 people because someone was nice to him. Those people in turn will be kinder to their employees (雇员), or shopkeepers, or waiters, or their own families. At last the goodwill could s 95 to at least 1,000 people. If I can make three people happy, then finally I can change the attitudes (态度) of 3,000 people.” “It sounds good,” I said, “but I’m not sure whether it would work in practice.”
“Nothing is lost if it doesn’t. It didn’t take a 96 of my time or money to tell that man he was doing a good job. I have made a study of this. The thing that seems to be lacking (缺乏) for the postal employees is that no one tells the people who work for the post office what a good job they’re doing,” he said.
“B 97 they’re not doing a good job,” I said. “They’re not doing a good job because they feel nobody cares whether they do a good job or not. Why not say a kind word to them? When those people hear my words, they will feel better. The city will benefit from their h 98 . If more people join me, the city will become a better place,” he said.
