Common Mistakes in Emails
1. I would like to remember everyone that Mr. Lewis, a prospective client, will be visiting the office next Tuesday. He’ll be in the office since 9 a.m. until about noon. I will appreciate it if everyone could dress in business professional attire during his visit. We want to make sure everyone make a good impression.
2. I called to Sandra’s office and talked to her secretary. She said me that Sandra wasn’t in the office, but that she would be back at 3 p.m. in the afternoon. Do you wish me to call her again this afternoon to discuss about the new proposal?

Go cold turkey
Sound weird? Well, you’re right, it does, how can anyone literally go cold turkey? A person can’t transform into the bird we all love to eat for celebrations such as Christmas and Thanksgiving.
The origins of this English idiom are strange and to go cold turkey means to suddenly quit or stop addictive or dangerous behavior such as smoking or drinking alcohol.
This English idiom is said to have originated in the late 20th century and suggests that a person who suddenly quits something addictive—such as drugs or alcohol—suffers from side effects that look like a cold, uncooked turkey. This includes pale (very white) skin and goosebumps (little small bumps on the skin when we’re cold or sick).
“Shall I get your mom a glass of wine?”
“No, she’s stopped drinking?”
“Really, why?”
“I don’t know. A few months ago, she just announced one day she’s quitting drinking.”
“She just quit cold turkey?”
“Yes, just like that!”
1 Alice isn’t interested in (look) looking for a new job.
2 Henry is excited (leave) for India.
3 You are capable (do) better work.
4 I have no excuse (be) late.
5 I’m accustomed (have) a big breakfast.
6 The rain prevented us (complete) the work.
7 Fred is always complaining (have) a headache.
8 Instead (study) , Margaret went to a ball game with some of her friends.
9 Thank you (help) me carry the packages to the post office.
10 Mrs. Grant insisted (know) the whole truth.
11 He showed us how to get to his house (draw) a map.
12 You should take advantage (live) here.
13 Laura had a good reason (go, not) to class yesterday.
14 Everyone in the neighborhood participated (search) for the lost child.
15 I apologized to Diane (make) her wait for me.
