Dear Mr. Yang,
I am writing to let you know that I needed your help with my English writhing. Which is known to all, grammar plays a very vital part in the writing. But I feel that I have some problems of my grammar. I am afraid that I am not able to identify my specifically errors. I would be grateful if you could point out and correct your mistakes. What is more, I used to the Chinese way of thinking, which stops me organize my writing in a proper way. I am wondering that you could also help me improve the structures of my writing.
I am looking forward to making great progresses under your instruction. Thanks are extended to you in advance!
Yours sincerely,

If you are a motivated person, it is easy to put your personal goals ahead of those of the people around you. It is natural and not necessarily a bad thing. However, it is crucial t learn to be a team player. Acting as a part of a team builds character, teacher empathy （共鸣）, and eventually achieves goals.1.Here’s why:
Group Effort Is More Effective than Individual Effort. You can run a small business pretty independently, but if you ever plan on being employed or running a business that employs others, you’ll have to learn how to work with other people.2.
Improving Others Equals Improving Yourself. If you’re on a team, your personal success helps make you a good team player. This is because most people are at least a little bit competitive, whether they admit it or not. When you do well, you set a standard that others will want to meet. By pushing yourself, you help push the people on your team.3.When you see someone you’re working with do something better than you, more often than not, you’ll push yourself to meet that standard.
Your Attitude Matters4. People respect the ability to work well with others more than anything. Your individual actions have an impact, but if you’re reluctant to do something to help your team, it’ll be evident and your contribution will be less appreciated. Having a genuine interest in your team helps you as well as those you’re working with.
5.As much as your work is important and necessary to the success of your team, the success of your team is important and necessary to your success.
A. Of course, this works both ways
B. These is a mutual（相互的）effect between personal success and team achievement
C. People with team spirit try hard to make their team the best of all
D. You should be the kind of person who wants to be a team player
E. Those who show respect for others will be respected in turn
F. All of these things, in turn, contribute to your personal success
G. The most impressive achievements are accomplished by groups of people, not individuals
Finding time to red is an important part of developing literacy skills for all kids. And there are many easy and convenient ways to make reading a part of each day-even when it’s tough to find time to sit down with a book.
Reading opportunities are everywhere you go. While riding in the car, for example, encourage kids to spot words and letters (on billboards, store signs, etc.), turning it into a game (“Who’ll be the first to find a letter B?”). While shopping, ask your preschooler to “read” pictures on boxes and tell you about them. Point out the difference between the words and the pictures on the boxes. Encourage older kids to tell you what’s on the shopping list.
Even daily tasks like cooking can provide reading moments. You can read recipes aloud to younger kids, and older kids can assist you as your cook by telling you how much flour to measure. Give your child a catalog to read while you sort through the mail. Ask relatives to send your child letters, e-mails, or text messages, and read them together. Help your child create letters or messages to send back to the relatives. These types of activities help kids see the purpose of reading and of print.
Even when you’re trying to get things done, you can encourage reading. While cleaning, for instance, you might ask your child to read a favorite book to you while you work. Younger kids can talk to you about the pictures in the favorite books.
Make sure kids get some time to spend quietly with books, even if it means cutting back on other activities, like watching TV or playing video games.
Most importantly, be a reader yourself. Kids who see their parents reading are likely to resemble them and become readers, too!
