Could someone review this text? Thank you very much!! There are a lot of opinions about the following statement: "life was easier for teenager 50 years ago than it is for teenagers today". To start with, nowadays teenager's life is very complicated for some of following reasons: position of country is very bad because there isn´t money and because of that some teenagers can´t study. If some teenagers finish their degree, they don´t find a job and this do they are discouraged. These are some of reasons which explain because some people agree with this statement. Although 50 years ago there wasn´t a lot of money, they were very happy because teenagers think their family was more important than money. Nowadays, some teenagers think money is the most important. However, there are some people who don´t agree with this statement. They think the society has improved a lot although there isn´t a lot of money now. This do life is easier for teenager because they can do other things which they couldn´t do before. 50 years ago, new technology don´t exist and they couldn´t talk with people of other country or place, they don´t watch the TV and they don´t know what it is happening in their country, some people couldn´t study but there are some helps for studying now etc. In conclusion, saying if you agree or not with this statement is very difficult because 50 years ago there were good or bad things and nowadays there were them too.

Hi Jose! Good job, I'm impressed with the level of your written English. You use a lot of good starter words and phrases, and have a natural-sounding tone in many of your sentences. Here are some things I found could improve and corrections you could make.  

 

There are a lot of opinions about the following statement: "[Quotation marks are not needed if you already have a colon :] Life was easier for teenagers 50 years ago than it is for teenagers today".



To start with, nowadays a teenager's life is very complicated for some of following reasons: The current economical situation of the country is very bad because there isn´t money and because of this some teenagers can´t pay for their studies. If some teenagers finish their degree, they and don´t find a job and this do they become discouraged. These are some of reasons which explain because why some people agree with this statement. However, 50 years ago there wasn´t a lot of money, and teenagers were very happy because think they thought their family was more important than money. Nowadays, some teenagers think money is the most important.



However, there are some people who don´t agree with this statement. They think the society has improved a lot even though there isn´t a lot of money now. They also believe this do life is easier for teenagers because they can do other things which they couldn´t do before. 50 years ago, new technology didn´t ["do" past tense is "did"] exist and they couldn´t talk with people of other countries or places, they don´t^ watch the TV and they don´t know what it is happening in their country. Moreoever, some people couldn´t afford higher education study but there are numerous scholarships and grants in today's world. helps for studying now etc.



In conclusion, saying if you agree or not with this statement is very difficult because 50 years ago there were good and bad things just as there are today and nowadays there were them too. People should are (be) happy despite the lack there isn´t a lot of money because I think family is the most important.

 

 

Good job, again! Make sure to remember when you're writing in the present or past tense. Some of the things you wrote are more typical in spoken speech as there is a somewhat different vocabulary for written work. Let me know if you have any questions. Keep it up!
