3.The best writer of the year will be the winner of \"Glede's Award\" and get 500wealth from the Glede Group.

4.This programme has been authorized by the moderators of the Foreign Languages Section; good posts will be rewarded by them according to the rules of this section. Their evaluation of the posts will be taken as reference to the selection of winners.

5.The award may be given to none if there is no work good enough posted in the certain period.

6.The right to choose the winner of each phase is kept by glede.

A minor problem: "You can discuss technique issues with glede.".
"Technique issues" should be "technical issues".

1. Two Letters

Dear Mr. Glede,
As many people in readfree forum, I also hold admiration to you. The software you develop have helped many “bookworms”. I want to know how you feel when you are racking your brains in the software development.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr. Lucy12345678,
Thanks for your contribution to glede group. Since you are the global agent of glede group, here is a question for you. I want to know what your criterion in price-setting of software is. Do you have to negotiate with other members in glede group when you are going to fix on the price?
Yours sincerely,

2. A Haze

I want to know the duty of “野樵” and“yudie” in glede group, because I can’t know clearly just according to the titles。

3. Personal Experience

The first software of glede group I use is GBookDown. I was intoxicated when t I saw this software was on sale, because I failed to save the pages I had read on goolge book offline, even I had tried every way to make this succeed. Without doubt, I bought this excellent software immediately, and this software proved to be helpful and useful for me. But it is queer that sometimes when I launch it my computer will restart, and one day I surprisingly find that the books I downloaded disappeared. I can’t figure out the reason. Does this have to do with my system or hardware? So who can help me find out the answer?

Dear Mr. Glede,
It is said that behind an able man there are always other able men. Although you are truly excellent, I think there must be somebody in the forum who you admire greatly. So the question is who is he and why? Thanks!
Yours sincerely,
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.
Dear Mr. Jiang Nansheng,
Your column-- “A date with Jiang Nansheng” is really wonderful. It provides us the chance to know the true self of every celebrity behind the virtual network. Do you plan to host this column recently, for the last time was about three months ago. And I notice that as a celebrity, lucy12345678 has never been interviewed. So if you decide to interview somebody, will you count lucy12345678 in? Look forward to hearing form you!
Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr. White Horse,
This activity hosted by you is really innovative. But have you noticed that compared with other activities only a few members take part in it. Are members too busy in watching Olympic Games? Are the awards not rich and generous enough? Or do members really have nothing to talk with Glede group? So do you plan to launch a publicity campaign to promote the degree of participation?
Yours sincerely,

无天

指出两个小小的错误

第一段第二行有个拼写小错误，应该是member，不是memember；
第二段，software是没有复数形式的，单复数相同都为software，下同

good idea!

I try to answer your questions one by one:

1. About glede:
I think you can find some information about what you want to known. In fact, I think you had already got somes according your updating letter.

2. About price.
Actually we don't have a precise criterion for the price setting. We decide a price approximately according to: the facility of programming; the function of the ware; the forum's policy imposed on the software selling; the economic capacity of the forum's members.

3. About yudie

His job is mainly to surveying about products, about products selling in the market or about new products to develop.

4. About 野樵
He's like an honorary member of our group. He has his own occupation in his branche.

5. About your experience
I'm sorry for the catastrophe you had got. This is the first report about it. I don't know why.

6. About Jiangnan's schedule.
It's better let him to answer your question.


Thank you very much.

3. About yudie

His job is mainly to surveying about products, about products selling in the market or about new products to develop.

lucy12345678兄的这句话有些问题，斗胆评阅如下：

1. "to surveying" 系语法错误，应为"to survey"。

2. survey作动词用，应为及物动词，所以survey about这种用法欠妥。
若想了解survey与哪些词搭配比较地道，可以查阅http://www.xiaolai.net/ocd/
OXFORD Collocations | dictionary for students of English
survey verb
ADV. carefully | coldly, coolly, critically Her green eyes surveyed him coolly.
PREP. from I surveyed the scene from my window.

3. 逗号后的小句有两个about，与前面的about算在一起，共三个，易滋混淆，而且层次会变得不清晰。

拙笔试改如下：
His main job is to survey Glede's products in the market and also collect feature requests to give birth to future products.

The first post contains a sentence "This is a long term programme", in which "long term" should be changed into "long-term".

6.The right to choose the winner of each phase is kept by glede.

白马兄的这句话总觉得不是很好，试改如下：

以评价权作主语：

版本一：
The power of choosing the winner of each phase rests with Glede.

版本二：
The right to choose the winner of each phase resides in Glede.

reside in sth/sb phrasal verb FORMAL
If a power or quality resides in someone or something, they have that power or quality:
The power to sack employees resides in the Board of Directors.
(from Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary)

版本三：
The power to choose the winner of each phase shall be vested in Glede.

以老鹰Glede作主语：

版本四：
Glede shall be entitled to the choice of the winner of each phase.

版本五：
Glede is authorized to choose the winner of each phase.

欢迎各位兄台指正！

Dear Mr. Glede,
I'm an employee at a web design firm and my director would like me to send some letters out to potential clients. This would be no problem, but I know business people word things differently and I'm just not good at that stuff. Can someone please help? I'm suppose to send emails to a company and convince them why they need a website. I know to stick to the facts..tell them what a better website can offer, why they need it and so on. But I don't know the first thing about starting a business letter, ending it, or any of that kinda stuff. can you help me?
