		<description><![CDATA[今天看到一篇文章: 5 Grammar Mistakes that Make You Sound Like a Chimp，文章介绍了几点在写作的时候时常出现的语法错误：
1.避免myself的误用。myself作为代主语的状语或宾语。例如：

I did something myself.
把myself作为主语和宾语作为名词是错误的。
2.主语和代词不一致。 例如：

Clearly,this person didn&#8217;t know what they were doing.
在这里,this person和they were就产生了不一致。
3.An的使用。例如：

An hour 和 A house，其中原因就在于hour中h不发音，而house中需要发音。A是用在辅音开始的词前，An是用在元音开始的词前，&#8221;元音”（Vowel Sound）指的是元音音素而不是是元音字母。了解更多关于元音。
4. was和were。这里主要指的是在虚拟语气的时候要使用were.例如
If I were at work right now,I’d eating a waffle.
5.注意使用“literally”。原因在于这个词的多义性，既有“字面上地”，又有“真正地，确实地”这样的意思。所以呢，如果你想表达“真正地”的时候最好使用其他词汇来代替：practically,  essentially。
除了以上几点在我们日常写作中需要注意的之外，国人写作的时候一定要注意用词得体，符合使用习惯，就这点来说就要多看多读了。别无它法。

The difference is as follows:
strength:

I haven&#8217;t the strength to lift this table.
我没有力气抬这张桌子。
power:
力量
His powers are failing.
他的体力在衰退。
strength 使个人的行为,行动变为可能的力量 power(物理上或自然具备的)力量,能力
也就说在游戏中power和你的血量有关，Strength和你的攻击力有关。

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Topic:</p>
<p>Should one expect a reward when doing a good deed  </p>
<p>1.有的人认为应该有回报  </p>
<p>2.另外的人认为应该象雷锋一样不要回报  </p>
<p>3.我的看法  </p>
<p>  </p>
<p>Version 1.0  </p>
<p>Should one expect a reward doing a good deed?  </p>
<p>Almost everyone expect to be helped when suffered with some troubles.So,lots of people think that one should except a reward when doing a good deed.Actually,when you helped somebody,you maybe spend time or money on it.So they want to get some rewards to compensate.But many people hold an opposite opinion,they think helping other is a charity for others that should not except rewards.It&#8217;s a kind of &quot;Leifeng sprit&quot;-helping others without rewards.  </p>
<p>In my opinion,people should not except a reward when doing a good deed ,and the people accepted helping should give some rewards.  </p>
<p>Version 1.1  </p>
<p>Should one except a reward doing a good deed?  </p>
<p>These days, people more and more money oriented.Lots of people help others with an exception of receive a reward.They have reasons as follow.First,this is a economical society that everything is valued by money,so the one who helped another should received rewards.Second,helping others may spend some time or other resources.At last,giving rewards makes the things done better.  </p>
<p>But somebody hold opposite point of view.They emphasize that the &quot;Leifeng Sprit &quot;also should be advocated in China today.Furthermore,if everyone do a deed with an exception receiving rewards,that harmonious society can&#8217;t be built.  </p>
<p>I suggest that people help others should not except a reward and people receiving help should give a rewards.That is to say, help others with charity and receive with appreciation.There is little doubt that further attention will be paid to this issue.  </p>

<p>The importance of reading classics </p>
<p>Reading classic is of particular significance to one&#8217;s growths.There are reasons as follow.Firstly,classics are the works that be high evaluated.One will benefit from these books by reading them.Secondly,classics depict the special condition in special times.This makes you know history.At last reading classic can explode one&#8217;s potential.</p>
<p>Meanwhile,the members of group that read classics reduce sharply. The reason of this might be various.However,now in China,money is always the first consideration which makes people prefer to read books about more applied such as books about management and finance.The impact of Internet keep on exploding have infection on this phenomenon.</p>
<p>As a colleger,I think we should use spare time to read some classic,because it do be good for our studying and future.</p>

<h4><a href="http://www.alitta.net/english-with-thai-people">English with Thai people</a></h4>
<p>In Thailand, English language is a compulsory course since in a primary level, meaning Thai kids know how to say A,B,C….blah blah blah since they are around 10 years old. When they are 15 years old, they know how to greet their teacher when he/she comes in a classroom;<br />Students : Good morning/afternoon, teacher. How are you?<br />A teacher : I’m fine thank you, and you?<br />Students : I’m fine, thank you.<br />A teacher : Sit down.<br />Students : Thank you teacher.<br />THAT’S ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />The way we greet our teachers is really a pattern and inflexible, once they say something else, we are mute. This is so true, my friends and I have made fun of ourselves about this pattern of greeting so far. When they are 20 years old or even older than that, most of them can only repeat that pattern!!!!!! What’s wrong with Thai people? I’ve tried to figure out the reason why Thai people don’t really speak English even if they are so good at English grammar. </p>
<p>1. They daren’t speak English as they are scared of making a mistake. I think they might feel embarrassed if they say something wrong.<br />2. They are afraid of a foreigner to whom they talk will laugh at them if they make any mistakes. (My advice is you need to be thick-skinned)<br />3. They hardly do their speaking in school, most of the time they learn grammar.<br />4. They just don’t care even though they can’t speak English as long as a gesture is still common among human.<br />5. They love being a listener than a speaker.<br />6. Thailand was never colonized by any English-speaking countries. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s not only in Thailand but also in countrys such as China,Korea.I my opinion,It&#8217;s due to the tend of globalization and the goverment policy that people in these country must learn English, but the context in these concutrys are not fullfilled. Olny in espacial situation,such as in famaous colledge or foreign company,people read and speak English frequently. But to learn English well,we must parctice and parctice! That&#8217;s my opinion in English learning in such Asian countrys. </p>
