Tom，Nice to read your e－mail today. I notice you’ve begun to use Chinese idioms and used most of them correctly.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Hope you’ll find a job soon.Huahua[參考答案]Hi!_Tom，Nice_to_read_your_e－’ve_begun_to_use_Chinese_idioms_and_used_most_of_them_correctly.However, I’m afraid there is one mistake I’d like to point out. It is “無所不為”. This idiom means “do all kinds of bad things”. Are you doing all kinds of bad things at home? I guess what you were really trying to say is that you’ve got nothing to do these days. In that case, you should use “無所事事”. We usually use “無所不為” to express the idea that people dare to do anything bad, and “無所事事” to describe the situation in which people have got nothing meaningful to do.Have I made myself clear?Anyway, I’m amazed at the progress you’ve made.Hope_you’ll_find_a_job_soon.
