Dear Torsten,

I am very delighted that I have received your reply to make sure my message has come to you and the forum.The last time they were posted I thought they went to the wrong path.
In this time I have to take a chance of conveying my thankfulness to you and your colleague that alway send the great lessons ,particularly give a good structure in both writting and speaking in English.
I try my best to take class attention online ,however I am very busy for work.

Best regards

Dear kistodad,
Last day I sent the sentences on Abbreviation and Acronym .They were some wrong and other right,but after you gave me their specifict definition it makes sense to me .
Now I would like to correct and remake them in according to my understanding from you.
I wrote that WFP is an acronym from World Food Programme,in fact it is wrong ,because it dosn't make a word.Anyway,WFP is an abbreviation from Word Food Programme.
An Acronym is a word to be made from picking up an initial letter of each of words .
An Abbreviation is a short form of a word that also an initial letter to be taken out of each of words but they are not made a word.
Thanks
Savath
