2006/08/01 Language Evaluator's Report

Dear All, Thank God that we all survive the heat wave. Pls see the following to speak more impeccable English. Say: The thief broke into our house. Don't say: The thief run into our house. Say: I misplaced my key. Don't say: I put my key somewhere and can't find it. Say: The house was burgalized. Don't say: The house was robbed. There are some idioms to desdribe when a person dies. Eg: Kick the bucket, six feet under. When someone is dying, we can also say he's on deathbed. Jane, our good mother, used quite a few good expressions in her speech. Here are two of them. 1) I go extra miles to trake care of my kids. 2) The generation gap is creeping into our family. Finally, special thanks to the generosity of Maxwell, Keny, Amanda, Celine, Wade, Julia, Julie who patronized my suff, so that we raised NT1380 last night. The proceeds will go to our CTM fund. That means our future CTM will be able to get NT300 gift certificate. You know what they say: You reap what you sow. Peace & Love, Mayna
