Address Format

信封上收信人的地址包括收信人的姓名、地址（按次序为门牌号、街道名、城市名、国家名）和邮政编码。应该注意的是：收信人的姓名、街道、地址的首字母都需大写。称呼Mr. 或Ms. 可写可不写。头衔或职称写在人名之后。当信函需要第三者收转时，则需在收信人的名字下方写上收转人的姓名，并在其姓名前面写上C/o（care of的缩写，相当于“请收转”）

Sentence Completeness (2)

跟汉语不同，英语的两个句子不能简单地用逗号连起来，有三种处理方式可以选用：(a) 分成两个独立的句子；(b) 用分号连起来；(c) 加合适的连词。例如：
Wrong:
Mr. Smith was greatly surprised, he went on in spite of his obvious mistake.
Correct: 
Mr. Smith was greatly surprised. He went on in spite of his obvious mistake.
Mr. Smith was greatly surprised; he went on in spite of his obvious mistake.
Mr. Smith was greatly surprised, but he went on in spite of his obvious mistake.
