Why do people want reasons for their beliefs and decisions? In a world where everyone acts without giving reasons and justifying their actions, It would be impossible to get together, organize and solve common problems. In order to identify, understand and solve our common problems we need a public debate. What makes a public debate important is that the ground in which we build upon our discussion. If this ground is not rational the only outcome will be countless arbitrary propositions, thoughts and beliefs. This is the reason why every single person who put forth an idea should back it up by reasons and elaborate arguments.

My Thoughts on English Compared to Other Languages (Any Mistakes?) I think English is easier than the other languages I am learning in terms of grammatical rules. But the fact that it is easier doesn't mean that it is very easy to learn it. Tenses in English much more easier than the ones in French, German or Turkish. For example, in simple present tense in French, there are five different conjugations according to the pronouns. There are 4 in German and six in Turkish. Whereas in English there are only two. You simply use the verb without changing it for four pronouns (I, you, we and they) and when you need to conjugate it you just put an s or variations of it. I have always wondered why the present tense requires a special ending only in the third‑person singular and I got my answer from the article. Other tenses are relatively easier than the ones in French and German too. Since there are no articles in Turkish I always had problems to understand the logic of articles. Then I realised that we have something similar that is used in the place of an article (not all the time) in my language. As I started picking up different languages I noticed that English again is the easiest and practical one in terms of articles. So, to me, English might be weirdly different from other languages but it is the most practical one. One last thing, it might be a bit easier to learn the way you construct the sentences in English than in other European languages but the most important and crucial thing is how you enrich your use of language by making use of the right vocabulary, conjunctions, expressions, phrases etc. The level of difficulty of this is the same in any language I guess. Memorizing grammatical rules as 'which tense requires which endings' or 'assigning genders to words' takes a few dozen hours of practice but learning a language takes at least 4-5 years.

Can you correct please? I want to pair two elements that include words or pictures. For instance, the words "mountain" and "pencil" will be on one side and "bike" and "sharpener" will be on the other side. And the user will try to pair them correctly by dragging the word on the left to the right.
