Dear Trotta,

For me, I am looking forward to retirement since I'm left with a few years of formal employment. In nine year's time, I will be selling timber because ,three years ago, I started planting trees that will mature by 2025. To understand the timber industry, I need to begin conducting research on it. This will equip me with knowledge of the timber value chain. Funds permitting, I plan to engage in other agricultural enterprises such as poultry. Right now, I am concentrating on seeing my children through university while continuing to plant more trees.

Of course, I will carry on studying to improve my English. I intend to make it a life long endeavor.

I will try to design some more classes

I think you can also say nine years time without the apostrophe

Hi James,
The first thing, which I want to tell you, is “Don’t forget to inform me when you start the second ESL writing class.” because I am eagerly waiting for our another writing section. The next thing is I really really want you to thank whole heartedly for your assignments and valuable feedback.
As I said in the earlier assignments I would like to earn my Master degree in US.I have started my study plan in order to reach my goal but still I have to cope with some things that I really need to improve.
For getting good scores in speaking section of TOEFL, I need to begin speaking English with native English speakers. Unfortunately, I don’t have a English speaking friend in US. James I really need your help here. I please you to accept me as your friend and suggest some English speaking organizations or classes for Nonnative English speakers like me. Besides speaking, I have to focus on listening and writing. Every day I dedicate some time for listening English conversations and lectures. And I think I have to put more efforts to improve my writing strategies. Again James, I am gratified you provide the answer for the following questions. You have corrected my assignments which have been submitted to you. According to your view
1.what are things I should consider during writing?
2.How to limit my errors? especially How to use the propositions correctly?
3.How to write more efficiently, fluently and clearly?
In addition to TOEFL exams, I need to prepare for GRE also. But I go with the quote “one thing at a time.” First I wish to do the TOEFL exam well and then I will start to prepare for GRE. If I get good scores in both exams in this year, I will have joined one of the best colleges in Columbus by this time.
By 2023 I will be working as either a computer science professor at University or System Architecture in MNC. The primary thing, I should improve, is My communication. Even though I speak and write in English language, still I need to enhance my quality of English writing and speaking. By 2020 I shall overcome my drawbacks and I will be a very good English speaker.

You're welcome. And sure I will let you know about the next class

To answer your questions (sort of) starting with the third question, the only way to improve your writing is to practice writing. Limiting errors is a tough one. First, all learners make errors. They have to because errors are part of the learning process. As you advance, you might make even more errors (but they will be more complex). To start eliminating them, you need feedback from someone like me. You get some during the free class here but providing this feedback takes a while and it's hard to find free classes that provide error correction. Do you know of any others?

While writing, the thing to consider is how to convey your message. Usually that means using good writing strategies. This can be a complex topic - maybe I will make a class about writing strategies

Hi james,

I'm so sorry. I'm writing my assignment after August 31.
My future plan is first I want to go back to school. I want to improve my English especial my writing. After I finish English I want to go college I always wanted to be a clothes designer. I love to design my own clothes. And I also want to study business management.

Thank you so much for giving my these lessons, and also I love to participate your next classes.

After graduating from college, I would like to work for a technology company by 2020. My weakness I need to overcome writing. I am still unsure how to accomplish my big issue. I wish overnight I can accomplish this.

When I had finished my studying, I began to work with draftify.net and I should say it`s a very cool job for me. By now I writing basic admission essay and many other papers for students. I do not depend on office place or any time restriction so I can travel a lot and do my job with lots of pleasure.
