It is simply English used in the situation of practical work. Practical English writing communicates specific and factual information to a particular audience for a specific purpose. The information is practical, in nature, and this is what makes practical English different from other types of writing.,The purpose of practical writing is to inform, instruct or explain to the audience who read it. Therefore, writers should always take readers into first consideration. Since practical writing is a technical job, writers should pay attention to both the content and the form of the writing. Content is related to the language used in the writing whereas forms refers to the structure of the writing. Apart from the content , the form adopted in practical writing is important.,For example, if a Chinese letter is structured wrongly, the writer may be considered uneducated, at least not well-educated. Therefore, the form of practical writing usually gives the first impression to the audience.

In the first year, I was in charge of a 5-litre reactor for polymerization of Carboxylated Butadiene-Styene Latex. Then I was transferred to another research group to synthesize PET/PHB copolymer, a kin of polyester, which has the property of Liquid Crystal. I am the assistant head of the group. We can prepare the novel polymer with high molecule weight and excellent property in a 2-litre stainless steel reactor. During this monomers, with purity of more than 99.99%; this made my leader very satisfied. More than four years of working experiences expand my capacity. I often make use of NMR, X-ray, DSC and other instrumental methods for research. Among them, I am most skilled in NMR reactors, I have experiences on solving problems of Engineering and Mechanics. What is more, I am familiar with computer operation and some application software. The above information about my specialty may be helpful for you to evaluate me.

By the way, I would like to give thanks to my parents. Being their oldest son, I am offered the most formal education and the deepest love. I never forget the 18-years life with them. Twelve years in the countryside and six years in Shengli Oil Field bestowed me the character of diligence, resolution, and perseverance, as well as the deep love of nature and life.

On Teachers Day, Id like to express my innermost appreciation and gratefulness to all the teachers in the world! Teachers are the shapers of human souls.

He told me not to be obsessed with the test results and encouraged me to find fun in learning. Their help enabled me to survive the competition and will surely benefit me in the future. Perhaps Ill never have a chance to repay all that I have received from my teachers. But Ill try to be a useful person and become their pride,Many people believe that the worlds supply of fresh water will never be used up. They think that fresh water comes from such a variety of sources that it is always sufficient for use. Such an opinion leads to a shocking waste of water. As a matter of fact, the earth is short of fresh water. Furthermore, with the rapid growth of the worlds population, the rising demand for water by industry, and the serious pollution of our surroundings, the world is facing the danger of running out of fresh water. Actually, in some big cities, fresh water cannot meet the daily needs. Therefore, to find new ways to save water is an urgent task. First, we should pass strict laws to control any waste of water. Second, scientists must work even harder to purify sea water and polluted water, and try to find substitutes to reduce the use of fresh water.,Test Yourself,Two pieces of writings 1. 请写出一张海报 内容：校学生会组织了一场篮球友谊赛，对阵双方是中南财经政法大学-武汉大学。比赛将于2009年2月28日星期六下午2点在校体育馆前的篮球场进行。 2.宴会致辞 非常荣幸能和各位朋友在这次聚会中欢聚一堂，对各位于百忙之中抽空光临表示感谢，并请大家在品尝美酒佳肴欣赏由一些年轻朋友们表演的节目之际，举杯共祝健康、快乐！,Friendly Basketball Match Zhongnan University of Economics and Law Versus Wuhan University Time: At 2:00 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 28, 2009 Place: On the Basketball Court in front of the Gymnasium Hall The Student Union,Banquet Address We want to thank all the people here for taking time out of your busy schedule at the busiest time of the year to come to our party.
