4. What do you think is the most difficult letter to write?
(Difficult tough challenging)
Most difficult letter to write…That’s a tough question…I suppose it must be hard to
write a break-up letter to someone you care about. It must be very difficult too to pass on anykind
of bad news, or to react to bad news. Writing a letter of condolences when someone has died) must
be difficult. For young people, writing a resume and a cover letter can be challenging when you
don’t have any experience.
5. Which language do you prefer to write in?
Naturally my native language, Chinese
！
I already find it difficult to write smoothly
in Mandarin, so in English you can guess how difficult it can be to write in an elegant
manner and to be able to change from a casual style to a more formal one depending on
who you are writing to.
From my experience, it’s extremely challenging to write in a second
language.
6. What do you find difficult about writing in English?

How often do you read the newspaper?
Very frequently. I get the newspaper at work, so I read it on almost a daily basis. On
the weekends however, I usually read the news online. I visit Yahoo China, which is very
convenient.
Hardly ever. I never buy the newspaper because I can read about current events online
every morning. I usually turn on my computer right after I get up, and my homepage is a
website that gives me access to national and international news.
It’s much more convenient
than going out to buy the newspaper.
