My partner has a rather concerning eating habit that I feel compelled to address. Their meals
consist of mostly processed and unhealthy food choices. They often skip breakfast, opting for
quick fixes like instant noodles or fast food for lunch. Vegetables and nutritious options are
noticeably absent from their diet, as they prefer fried foods, snacks, and sugary beverages. I am
genuinely concerned about the impact this may have on their health in the long run. To
promote positive changes, I plan to have an open and honest conversation with my partner
about the importance of a balanced diet. I will encourage them to incorporate more fruits,
vegetables, and lean proteins into their meals. We can explore healthier cooking methods
together and experiment with delicious yet nutritious recipes. It is my hope that by supporting
and guiding them, we can gradually shift towards a healthier and more sustainable eating
routine.

Subject: My Plan to Improve English Skills!

Subject: My Plan to Enhance my English Skills!

Dear Andy,

I hope this email finds you in good health! I wanted to share with you my plan to improve my English skills
over the next three months. I would like to focus on enhancing my vocabulary, speaking, and listening skills.

5
To achieve this, I have devised a plan. Firstly, I will dedicate time each day to expand my vocabulary by
learning new words and using them in sentences. Additionally, I plan to practice speaking English regularly,
either through language exchange programs or by conversing with native English speakers.
To improve my listening skills, I will actively engage in watching English movies, TV shows, and listening to
podcasts without subtitles. This will help me become more accustomed to natural English speech patterns.
As a native English speaker, I value your suggestions and support immensely. If you have any tips or
resources that could aid me in my language learning journey, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for your continuous encouragement, and I look forward to your response!

Warm regards,
Cao Huy.
