Thank you for invite me to the summer English course in your school.

Of all the subject Fm learning at school, I like English best. I had been learning English for eleven years but my spoken English remains poorly. So I real hope to take this chance to improve it. If possible, I’d like to stay with a family for a couple of days in order that I can knew some customs in England, what Fm particularly interested in. I believe I will have wonderful time this summer.
Yours truly,
Grace

How to talk to your child about a future career
Thinking about a future career can bring a lot of stress. 1. This cuts up the question into workable issues that you and your child can enjoy dealing with throughout their childhood years. Here’s how:
●In your child’s life, there are times when they are given the opportunity to see and/or discuss a certain career. Schools have Career Day, an aunt or uncle talks about what they do for a living or your child’s youth group goes on a trip to a hospital and talks to the staff there. 2.
●When your child shows interest in a certain career, you should do some research. Then, you can offer your child some information on that job and related jobs. 3. It is a wonderful free online resource.
●Help your child weigh the pros and cons for his or her different career interests. Encourage your child to narrow(缩小) the choices down to five at the most.
●4. This is a good time to begin ordering in college and technical school lists. Use the lists and any other information you have found as an ice breaker for more conversations with your child.
●5. Make this a clear message. Teach your child that part of being independent is knowing when and who to lead on, trust and respect.
A. Do you feel you have open communication with your child?
B. The Occupational Outlook Handbook gives you what schooling is needed.
C. The final decision lies with your child, but you do have the right to have input.
D. Choosing the right career is one of the most important decisions your child will make in life.
E. Figure out the path your child would have to take to obtain the schooling for his career choices.
F. Each of these times is an opportunity for you to ask your child what he thought of those jobs or that field of work.
G. Parents need to learn to help their child conquer this great question by dropping seeds of conversation as time goes by and watch them grow into ideas.
