Slow down on using maybe -> try to use may/might/could/it is possible that…..

write about what like and dislike about your cats?

I’m come from Jiangsu province and I am now working as nurse in a hospital.
Ruijin hospital. And I like listen to music and read books and travel to other cities.
At first I wanted to chose to be a doctor but my parents suggested me to be a nurse and I chose to be a nurse.
I think nursing is a job to communicate with people and take care of the patients and I think what’s hard is really stressful. In China a nurse need to take more patients than maybe other countries.
I like any types of music. I maybe prefer to novels. I think it is interesting. I think most interesting is Chongqing, the buildings of Chongqing is really interesting. I plan to Changzhou this week, it is near Wuxi. It’s a scenic place but I don’t know how to say it in English. It is a place with bamboos. Bamboo forest. I think the environment is very good.
3 days.
Because there is no car to get there so we need to plan our routes and I think it needs 4 Horus to get there. Because it is in a mountain. maybe it is far from the city center.
I don’t have a plan but I like English from my student hood and I think I was good at it and after I started to work I have no time to practice it. I think it is important for me.

I come from Jiangsu province and I am now working as nurse in Ruijin hospital. I like listening to music and reading books and traveling to other cities.
At first I wanted to be a doctor /I planned to become a doctor/ but my parents suggested me to be a nurse and I chose to be a nurse instead./and I followed their advice.
I think nursing is a job in which it is important/ which requires to communicate with people and take care of the patients.  I think what’s hard is that it is really stressful/ what’s hard is that the job gives me a lot of stress. In China a nurse needs to take more patients than in other countries./ The number of patients we have is higher than in other countries. / I feel the hospital is understaffed and we need to take care of more patients than in other countries.

I like any types of music. I prefer/I tend to read novels. I think it is interesting. I think the most interesting is Chongqing, the architecture of Chongqing is really interesting. I plan to go to Changzhou this week, it is near Wuxi. It’s a scenic place but I don’t know how to talk about it/describe it in English. It is a place with a Bamboo forest. I think the environment is very good.I plan to stay 3 days.

It is on a mountain so it is hard to go there. It is hard to find a taxi driver willing to go there so we need to plan our route.  I think it will take us 4 hours to get there. Because it is on a mountain, it is far from the city center / it is a very remote area.

I don’t have a (clear) plan but I like English from my studenthood and I think I was good at it. After I started to work I had no time to practice it. I think it is important for me.

Dear Sir/Madam:
I’m writing to share a book named “To Live” which I read recently.

The book tells the story of Fugui’s tragic life in the 1950s era with the war as a background.

Fugui, the son of a rich landlord, was a rich idler at the beginning and he killed his time by gambling everyday.His parents and wife couldn’t stop him until he lost all the family’s property/assets. One day Fugui went out to find a doctor to cure his mother’s illness and he was forced to join the armed forces/the army……His tragedy began on that day.
Later,his parents、his wife、his son、his daughter、his son-in-law and his only grandson (all his family members) all died of different reasons one by one. However, Fugui spent his life as a strong and optimistic man.
It’s really a sad and shocking story.Nothing is better than to live, and nothing is more difficult than to live.
