```go
for _, kv := range kvs {
k := kv.Key
reduceTask := ihash(k) % nReduce
intermFile := reduceName(jobName, mapTask, reduceTask)
f, err := os.OpenFile(intermFile, os.O_RDWR|os.O_CREATE|os.O_APPEND, 0755)
if err != nil {
log.Println("Failed to open intermediate file")
}
enc := json.NewEncoder(f)
enc.Encode(&kv)
f.Close()
}
