Jian,

You mentioned that you were a new inspector so I would ask a seasoned inspector to do the inspection while you observe and learn.

Jian,
I don't think you are using the correct words. None of us know what "how can i attention it" means. The word "attention" is not the correct verb in this sentence, and it doesn't make sense in English. I'm sorry. Perhaps you can ask the question a different way, using some other words, so we can better understand what you are asking.

That is much clearer.

Read this document. http://www.nachi.org/comsop.htm

That's what you need to be doing, and focusing on.

The fact that you are asking this question says that you are a very new inspector. I highly suggest you also enlist a more experienced inspector to help you do the inspection.

where are you located that way you can find a person to help you with this inspection and you can learn from it as well, would be worth your time to find a mentor to help you along

[Greg Bell]

No disrespect, but I would suggest that you take some writing classes first. You need to be able to communicate your findings in writing with your client.

[Jian Zhang]

thanks everyone, I will take course of English writing , thanks again


you are all nice

Hey Jiang!

If you are in the Toronto/durham area; I might be able to give you some mentoring. Have you had any training at all? Have you ever done a home inspection? English is important, but if you are only inspecting for people of your own nationality; it won't matter as much. Where are you from,Jiang?
