【一】:简体字与繁体字Why Traditional Chinese Characters are better than Simplified Characters
Why I do NOT like Simplified Chinese Characters at all
When I write, text or type, I always use traditional Chinese characters instead of simplified Chinese characters if the situation allows. I don’t personally use simplified Chinese, which the only type of Chinese characters that Chinese people learn from school after 1956. So some people like some of my relatives and friends asked me why I always use traditional ones,they guess that I embrace Taiwan after I met my Taiwanese girlfriend (actually I did use traditional onesbefore I met her, but my girlfriend does help me a lot on that).
And today,when I was teaching Mandarin, I asked my students a question:“the Chinese characters are originally from...?” (I have taught them Chinese characters are from images and symbols.) And one student raised his hand very confidently and shouted his answer “Japan!” I was shocked at the first moment and I shook my head and laughed. But wait! Actually, his answer is partly right... Some of the simplified Chinese characters arebrought from Simplified Kanji (Chinese characters) of Japan...
Things are just becoming a little bit more complicated.
Take a deep breath and let me explain…
In fact, around the time of the World Wars,the nationalism became more and more popular and stronger in those former western colonies or western influenced countries. After their independence, they all wanted to show something pride and
unique in their culture, so most of east Asian countries from so called "Chinese Culture Circle (Confucianism Culture Circle)", were hastening to get rid of the influence of China, such as Japan, Korea and Vietnam, started their own process to simplify, change or eliminate the Chinese characters in their written language. At mostly meanwhile, new Chinese regime was eager to build their new culture, and the scholars in the Chinese Character Development/reform Committee was strongly influenced by “the May-4th” Period dreams and values.In that period, a lot of China’s intellectuals were extremely anti-traditional cultures and moral values. They wanted to establish a new Chinese culture. These scholars were the main power of the committee we were talking about, and the new regime led themto start the processing of their characters simplifying. After these processes, the beauty of Chinese characters, the artistic connections with its imagery symbolswere badly and fatally broken. For example, Simplified Chinese takes the “heart”away from the “love”(爱instead of愛, “心” means heart);Takes the “wheat”away from the “noodle”（面instead of麵，“麥”means wheat）; Takes the "seeing each other" from the “closeness” or “intimacy” (亲instead of親，“見”means meeting or seeing)... and I have tons of examples to show if needed...
Well, if someone wants to argue or defend for Simplified
Chinese characters by using the point of Simplified characters are easier to write, I would say that simplified characters are easier to be written, but they are way less systematic and hard to understand by comparing to traditional characters. Why?
Because after simplifying, it has so many single Chinese characterswhich has more than one meaning. For example, after the simplifying, 面 is noodle and also face. What the heck!If you go to China, you willread the menufor Beef Noodle, which it logically could be “beef face”, and Ramen or “La Mian” (literally twisting, stretching, folding or kneading noodle), it could logically turn to “twisting or stretching or kneading face”! Wow! That hurts!
One more examplewhich is even more distractive and misguiding, after simplifying，发 means hair and launchorproduce. But in its traditional way, 發 means produce or launch, hair is another word which is 髮. You can tell the top right part which represent the hair, so 理髮(haircut) were changed to 理发(“haircut or launch-cut”).What is even worse? In simplified 发, if you teach, you have to teach different pronunciations in different cases. When they combined two different words in one, it caused one word, which has different pronunciations with different meanings. By the way, to combine different characters to one character was mostly Mao’s idea, but the thing seems weird because you can barely see him to write simplified characters. When I studied in Beijing Language and Culture University, I remember there was a plaque on the wall of the dining hall building, it has a sentence quoted from “The Literary Mind and the Carving of
Dragons”(文心雕龍)，in that sentence, if you write this sentence in simplified characters, then it has a big ambiguity between “launch” and “hair”. (理發（＊理发）而文見)
In this case, although I believe it is easier to write (less strokes) in simplified, but the simplified Chinese became harder to understand and also learn by heart! Sometimes, the Simplified Chinese character is way to distractive!
If you are an English or some Romance languages speaker, you can be easily fooled by saying that simplified Chinese are easier to learn and write, for example, in English, you spell the words by its pronunciations, if you say “th-an-ks”, you can spell it “thanks” by the way you say it. But Chinese is totally different! It is just not working out that way. Why?
Be aware of this! Chinese is the ONLY surviving language, whichhaslogogram writing. That meansif you write a Chinese character, you can probably tell some meaning of the character by the writing symbols. If you see parts like“食”，“金” or“心”, then the character has very likely the meaning of “food”, ”metal or chemical elements”, and ”thinking or by heart”. In my opinion, the traditional Chinese is a little harder to write, but the beauty and logic of Chinese is right in it, I don’t mind to write some more strokes to make my hand writing more beautiful and making more sense. Furthermore, in nowadays, we have very few opportunities to hand write something anyway. Why not bring the beautiful traditional Chinese characters back!
Speaking of bringing it back, in fact, in some aspects, it never
goes away. In Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao and so many overseas Chinese communities (like China towns in the US or Malaysia), traditional Chinese characters are still being vastly used. Even in China, Chinese calligraphy is mostly written by using traditional Chinese characters.Why? Because it is more beautiful. That it one of the most important points of making art, expressing of beauty. And so many company logo designs and business banners and signs are written by using traditional Chinese. I believe this is why the logo of the school I work, which is called East Point Academy istraditional “東”(means East)instead of simplified “东”even though most of Chinese teachers here from China teach simplified Chinese.www.shanpow.com_believe繁体写法。
I know in so many countries outside China, the reason for people there to learn Chinese is for communicating and business opening with Chinese people, and Chinese people in China use simplified Chinese. It sounds very practical and it’s no reason to blame to be practical. But speaking of deeper levelsstudy and culturally understanding, why don’t I teach both simplified and traditional? I know some of top universities in the US and Europe do learn traditional Chinese in their Chinese or Sino studies, such as Columbia University in NY, etc. Even some Chinese elementary or high schools in California (where the biggest Chinese population is) provide lower graders only traditional Chinese and higher graders to choose from traditional and simplified. Why traditional first? Like what I said, it is more systematic for understanding.
In the recent years of China, people can probably have the feeling that there are some more self-concentrated or culturally

【五】:如何写英文简历
如何写英文简历，简历是应聘者对你的第一印象。一份好的求职信，也能为您的成功画上重要的一笔。1、纸张的选用：最好使用品质优良，白色的信纸。信封要配合信纸的质料和颜色。
2、书写：求职者常需用亲手写信，字体要写得清洁可辩，龙飞凤舞的字迹无疑是自寻绝路。如果可能的话，使用打字机把信打出来。这样看起来比较具有商业气息。
3、格式：信文要适当地排列在信纸中，格式要一致，如采用齐头式（或斜线式）便需全部一致，不可中途改变
4、语法、标点和拼写：正确无误的语法、标点和拼写使读信人感到舒畅，错误的语法或拼写则十分明显，一望即知，予人坏印象。尤其要注意的是，绝不可把收信人的姓名或公司名号拼错了。
5、信封：信封上面的地址要完整，称谓要合时宜，信纸的折叠要适当，大小适合信封。
6、附件：求职信函通常不须附加推荐信，除非招聘广告有此要求。遇到这种情形，只须附上复印件即可。求职函内附加邮票或回址信封，强迫对方答覆的作法不足效法，除非对方有此要求。
如何写英文求职简历
应征函的第一段说明写信的缘起目的，有些专家认为不宜用分词子句，如下列各句作为第一句。因为这类句子被人用得大多，显得陈腐，失去突出的特性。
Replying to your advertisement…… Answering your advertisement…… Believing that there is an opportunity…… Thinking that there is a vacancy in your company…… Having read your ad……
再比较下列三句。（a）句较差，经过修改后（b）句显得较恰当。
１、（a）Replying to your recent advertisement in the Boston Evening Globe, I wish to apply for the position of sales manager……
（b）In applying for the position of sales manager I offer my qualifications, which I believe will meet your exacting requirements.
2、(a)I believe after reading your advertisement in this morning‘s Journal that you have just the opportunity I am looking for. (b)your advertisement in this morning‘s Journal for an adjustment manager prompts me to offer you my qualifications for this position
3、(a) Having read your advertisement in the New York Times for an accountant, I thought you might be interested in my application.
(b)In your advertisement for an accountant, you indicated that you require the services of a competent person, with thorough training in the field of cost accounting. Please consider me an applicant for the position. Here are my reasons for believing I am qualified for this work.
求职的人不得不提到希望待遇时，可用类似的句子：
1、 hesitate to state a definite salary, but, as long as you have requested me to , I should consider 6,500 a month satisfactory. 我对待遇总是迟迟无法定个确切数目，但既然您要我说明，我认为月薪六千五百元就满意了。
2、Although it is difficult for me to say what compensation I should deserve, I should consider-a month a fair initial salary. 虽然我很难说待遇应该是多少，我以为起薪每月--很合理。
3、I feel it is presumptuous of me to state what my salary should be. My first consideration is to satisfy you completely. However, while I am serving my apprenticeship, I should consider-a month satisfactory compensation. 余不敢冒昧说出起薪多少。最初余仅想要如何工作得好，使您满意。在学徒（试用）期间，月薪--即可。
提到待遇时不要过分谦虚或表示歉意，下列句子不宜使用。
１、As for salary, I do not know what to say. Would$4,500 a month be too much? 至于起薪，我不知怎么说，月薪四千五百元会不会太多？
2、Do you think I should be asking too much if I said 5000 dollars a month? 若要求月薪五千元，会不会太高？
3、You know what my services are worth better than I do . All I want is a living wage. 对敝人工作的价值您比我更清楚。我仅想够糊口即可。
应征函或自荐函的结尾用语，试比较下列各句：
1、（a）软弱、羞怯的： If you think I can fill the position after you have read my letter, I shall be glad to talk with you. 读完此信后倘您认为敝人可补缺，敝人愿和您一谈。
(b)改写后（较佳）： If my application has convinced you of my ability to satisfy you, I should welcome the opportunity to talk with you, so that you may judge my personal qualifications further.
2、（a）怀疑，不妥、不安全的： If you‘re interested, let me know immediately, as I‘m sure and interview will convince you I‘m the man for the job. 倘贵公司有兴趣，请即告知，敝人深信与您面谈可以使您相信，敝人适合担任此职。
（b）改写后： May I have an interview? You can reach me by telephone at Taipei 884525 between the hours of 7-9 a.m. and 5:30-9:30p.m. any evening. 可否赐予面谈？您可在每天上午七至九时，下午五时半至九时电884525号。
3、陈腐的句子： Hoping you will give me an interview, I am……（我希望您惠予面谈） Anticipating a favorable decision, I wait your……（等候您的佳音） Trusting your reply will be satisfactory, I remain(静候满意的答复)
4、哀求式的句子，不够完整（漏掉面谈时间）： Won‘t you please give me the chance to interview your? I can be reached by calling Kenmore 69781. 恳请惠予面谈。请打电话K-69781
（b）改写后： May I have the opportunity to discuss this matter further with you? My telephone is Kenmore 69781. You can reach me between nine and five o‘clock during the day. 可否惠予面谈以便进一步商讨？我的电话是K-69781。我从上午九时到下午五时都可接通。
5、太过自信的句子： I am quite certain that an interview will substantiate my statements Between two and four every afternoon except Tuesday you can reach me by telephoning 731430. 我深信面谈可以证实我的话。您可在每天下午二至四时（星期二例外）打731430号电话通知我。
6、较具体有效的句子。 May I have an interview? My residence telephone is (042) 4398. You reach me by calling that number until June 30. After July 2, my address will be Kent House, Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. 可否惠予面谈？我住处电话为43981号。六月三十日以前我都在上址，七月二日以后，我的新址为新罕不夏州布列登林肯特屋。
应征函的语气
应征函要发挥最大的效果，语气必须肯定、自信、有创意而不过份夸张，如能事先洞察雇主的喜好，或其他人格特性，根据物以类聚的原理，应征函若能配合雇主的特性，求职的人一定可以比其他人占上风，获得面谈的机会。 比较下列各句语气上有何不同：
1、I think that I should probably make a good bookkeeper for you. 我想我可能成为贵公司的好簿记号。
2、I am confident that my experience and references will show you that I can fulfill the particular requirements of your bookkeeping position. 我想信我的经验和推荐人可以告诉您，我能够符合贵公司簿记员一职的特定需要。
3、I recently completed a course in filing at the Crosby School of Business. I am competent not only to install a filing system that will fulfill the needs of your organization, but I am also well qualified to operate it efficiently. 最近我在克洛斯比商业补习班读完一门档案处理的课程，我自信不仅可以设置一套档案人类系统符合您的要求，而且可以有效地操作。
4、I feel quite certain that as a result of the course in filing which I completed at the Crosby School of Business, I can install and operate efficiently a filing system for your organization. 我相信在克洛斯比商业实习班修完一门课后，我能够替贵公司设置并且操作一套档案分类系统。
第一句显得语气太弱，写信的人有点羞怯的样子。第二句有特殊风格，第三句太过自信，第四句，作者表示谦虚。
