    好的。 Remember that a text message has no more words than are absolutely necessary.

    Hi Helen!I can't wait to see you in Phoenix! I'm on Air China flight 285.It arrives at Terminal 2 at 19:30. [Word order]By the way, I’ll have you a special gift for you. It might surprise you.When I arrive, I will treat you to dinner. What kind of food do you like?See you later.

    Remember to write "I" always with a capital letter, and also the first letter of all sentences. You treat someone "to" something. I think that you typed "good" when you meant to type "food".

    Well done.

Tips for Good Reviews:

Be Specific
  • Give useful suggestions and examples.
  • Write more than just brief comments like “Good job” or “Needs work".
Make Corrections
  • Use the editing features to apply strikethrough, bold or different font colors.
  • Use the virtual keyboard to insert special characters in your reviews.
Teach by Example
  • Review a speaking exercise by recording your own audio comment.
  • Focus on correct pronunciation and speaking patterns.
