There are three characteristics of an ideal job, they confirm to social needs, are competitive, and develop an individual’s potential. It is necessary for an ideal job to meet the needs of the society. For example, there are many companies and enterprises that need accountants because the companies need to manage their capitals. An ideal job is competitive. For instance, an ideal job is being a doctor.

Li Dongfeng EN 0301 Iyengar The Difficulties of Preposition I learned the definitions of prepositions and how to use them. I understood propositions can connect or relate two entities in a sentence, and they are usually usage governed and not rule governed. The professor also taught us how to understand and use prepositions conveniently. Prepositional meanings can be divided into three categories: they were those that are dimensionless, those that have one or two dimensions, and those that have two or three dimensions in respectively. Moreover, different prepositions stood for different contexts. For example, there were two similar sentences: “The child walk into the park.” and “ The child walked out of the park.” and “into” and “out” represented opposite direction. In addition, one of my classmates asked a question how to distinguish “arrive at” and “arrive in”, and the professor explained clearly that at airport means you go to everywhere, but in the USA means you only go to American cities. I still remembered I learned English grammar in China, but I could not understand the usages of prepositions. At this moment, they are much easier for me than before. In brief, I will try my best to learn another kinds of English grammar well.
