I have 10 years' professional experience of summarizing, editing, and proofreading articles from a range of journals, including scientific, medical, technical, business and leisure journals. I am new to GAF, so have no feedback as yet. However, I am confident that I could do the job both well and in a timely manner. A sample of my writing follows. Regards.
I have long relished the taste of my favorite drink, Irish coffee, at the end of the day. The mixture of dark coffee, smooth whiskey, preferably Irish , and cream is the perfect way to round off an evening with friends. I developed my love for this drink in a little Italian restaurant in London that I used to go to regularly in the late 1980s. At the end of the night, after we had had a meal and a bottle of wine, the owners would come out and join us for a free Irish coffee. As a relatively impoverished student, anything that was free was ok by me. I’ll always associate the drink with the warmth and friendliness of the late-night restaurant and with the woman who was, at that time, the love of my life. Although she has long gone, I still raise a glass of Irish coffee to her memory every now and again and to the memory of the good times. Of course, when I was a student, I could sleep for Ireland. Nowadays, as a grizzled father of three young children, its decaffeinated coffee for me. Or possibly cocoa.
