要点:

1．不应使用 “无所不为”，应使用 “无所事事”;

2．说明这两个成语的用法;

3．给予鼓励。

注意:  1.词数为1叨左右;

2.参考释义:无所不为一do all kinds of bad things

无所事事一have nothing to do

3.除以上两个成语外，邮件中不得使用其它汉字或拼音;

4. 电子邮件的开头和结尾已为你写好（不计人你所写词数），但不得抄人答题卡。

附（汤姆的邮件）:

华华，你好!

近几天在忙什么事?有什么有意思的事吗?我们的学校放假了，所以这几天在家无所不为，饱食终日，只好上网发伊妹儿。没意思。我决定找份工作，做个自食其力的人。祝好!

汤姆

Answer

Hi! Tom

Nice to read your e-mail today. I noticed you’ve begun to use Chinese idioms and used most of them correctly.

However, I’m afraid there is one mistake I’d like to point out. It is “无所不为”. This idiom means “do all kinds of bad things”. Are you doing all kinds of bad things at home? I guess what you were really trying to say is that you’ve got nothing to do these days. In that case, you should use “无所事事” . We usually use “无所不为” to express the idea that people dare to do anything bad, and “无所事事” to describe the situation in which people have got nothing meaningful to do. Have I made myself clear?

Anyway, I’m amazed at the progress you’ve made.

Hop you’ll find a good job soon.
