i didn't made any posting in this thread for almost 1 week...
actually, i don't have anything interesting to share with u..this is my
1st posting from my office..i just started work yesterday, as a programmer..
i never imagined to work as a programmer although i'm graduated in computer
science field...because i think want to change my field when i'm work..but this is
the first job that i got, so i will take this oppurtunity to gain as much experience as i can..

first of all, congratulations for your very first job -
i wish you all the best and hope it is a stepping stone for you and you gonna improve
from time to time ...


didn't make
i have a degree in computer science (omit the 'field')
i thought about changing my field when i found a job
since this is
omit 'so'

1st day at work, i had got my project..enhance the system, they requested
many changes for this system...fuhh...sometimes i think how fortunate if i'm a client..
i can request anything on the system...without consider any problem arise..just pay for the fee...
but unfortunately i'm not them. hehehe..i'm the person who need to think how to satisfy
their requirement..i hope i can do it..

omit 'had'
(i got my first project)
which was to enhance
the client
some
i were (cuz u wud never be one - hence must use - i were)
worry about any problems
omit 'for'

i'm really fresh in this field..and my knowledge is not too much..i hope i can perform better i what i do know is keep learning..and my guru of course internet...and also my peers here...

i don't have much knowledge yet
omit 'i what'
i will keep learning
the internet



and i am sure  you gonna learn a lot at your new place
and will improve from time to time --

all the best !! -

i prefer hang out to chill out  -



chill out also a term whereby we try to calm our friends down -

for instance --
oh come on, chill out!! - (if a friend seems too concern about things) --

dexa

Actually, yesterday is my first english class - IELTS class.. my class start at
8.00 pm until 11.00 but it almost 00.00 am..
It's very interesting... because i didn't feel sleepy at all even i working
start from 8 am until 5 pm

it finished almost
strangely / interestingly
omit 'because'
eventhough i have to start my work at 8am

(except just wanna clarification regarding miscarriage or abortion cuz
the meaning is different)
and no need to apologize okay -  you just write what's in your mind
and share 'em with us --  it is appreciated ...

let me see if we can improve some of the writing  -

hang out do sounds better, and more comfortable to most people. I also prefer "hang out" and it's seems more suitable in this context.

Thanks dexa for the correction. Need to be more careful.

i) it seems more suitable
ii) it's  more suitable

I suppose both can be used correctly, right? The latter however sound more absolute and authoritative.

dexa

when u add seems - that's when 'is' no longer needed -

that's correct - when you used 'seems' it sounds like
you didn't feel too sure about the 'problem' concerned -

therefore, it is better to omit seems when you are convinced
about your thought or feeling -

Graduate Record Examinations

nuha

thanks dexa

dexa

i guess you're right  re: how difficult this GRE is -

i saw the subjects stated - i tell ya - i won't take this exam
in million years -  
pure sciences are just ain't my cup of tea so to speak -

i opt for TOEFL any day though   

(i did take toefl before i was accepted in the canadian university though) -

nuha

dexa, I believe you can do it
verbal reasoning is very difficult
I think because the questions are about the USA culture
For English, this test is really tested our English proficiency
It focuses on bombastic words
quantitative and analytical reasoning are not too bad
my senior, she scores 1,600, she's very smart
Oshh... I won抰 take this exam too ... ohh no...
