My name is Stewart and I'm a student at Strathclyde University in Scotland. I've always wanted to learn a language and decided that Spanish was the language I'd like to learn. On italki I will hopefully meet people who are interested in learning English that can help me with my Spanish.

    Is It Necessary to Go to College?

    Many people believe that the only way to be successful is studying in college or university. Being a professional and getting a degree is noteworthy, but not everyone can manage the difficulties that mean come with studying in college and more importantly they do not need to study five years to get good results in the same field that some other professionals do.

    Some of the reasons that explain why it is not necessary to go to college are as follows the followings. First of all, some colleges offer a large number of courses that are not relevant at all because they do not have relation relate with the career that one is studying. Secondly, spent spending 5 years to get a degree could be too much for some careers. Some of them need more practice “in the real word” than more and more theory. Lastly, many courses in college demand a lot of effort which is good because it might be the first contact with adverse circumstances that everyone eventually would deal in the future. However, students have to have a balanced life while in college, otherwise they end up ignoring their family and forgoing some life’s pleasures.

    There are a great number of successful people who did not need to finish college since they feel that it was not helping with that which they wanted for their life. Steve Jobs, for example, who dropped out from Reed College after realizing that what they got from classes did not fulfill his expectations.

    Where I live we have some institutes in which less years are needed to finish the studies. It only works for some careers though. Despite the fact that the ones who study there do not get an engineering degree sometimes they have more experience since those institutes are focused on more essential courses and their students start working from earlier stages than in colleges here.


    Great piece of writing :). Keep up the good work.

    Camboya He tenido una vez increíble este semana pasada! Mis amigos y yo viajamos a Camboya para una vacación antes exámenes. En este momento, los gentes de cambodia celebran "Songkran" - el año nuevo de Tailandia. Que un sorpresa! Antes de llegamos no sabemos qué Songkran es! Los gentes van a la calle y hay una grande fiesta. Hay mucho pueblo quien tienen pistolas de agua y algo pueblo venden el polvo que hace desorden mucho! Creo que soy un persona que es muy suerte! Los experiences que Asia me da son una vez en la vida. Espero que cuando viaje en futuro los otras lugares son este asombroso!!

    Ali, I'm not 100% sure but I will try my best to explain it. I think it is because in the present continuous you would say "Are you having?". However the present continuous can be applied to the IMMEDIATE future. So by asking "Are you having one?" it relates it more to the present moment. Asking "Will you be having one?" sounds like it is further into the future. I hope that explained it.

    My Favorite Cartoon.

    When I was a child I watched TV all the time, because I liked cartoons, but my favorite is Courage the Cowardly Dog. I loved it because it made me feel fear and curiosity. Courage the Cowardly Dog is an american animated comedy hero (Is that what you meant?), the cartoon had misadventures and a bizarre story with a lot of monsters and paranormal ghosts. It is very interesting.


    Good post :)

    My night in the beach

    Last week I went to the beach with my parents and my dog to spend the night there. We arrived in the afternoon, maybe 4:00pm. we We wanted to see the sunset and sleep close to the coast. It was really hot and we slept for like 5 hours (like is quite informal, which is fine if that's what you want to do). We put a couple of sheets and some pillows on the sand and some pillows and that's it.
    At 3am it was so cold that I had to use my dog's blanket (btw that blanket used to be mine but she took it from me the first week I got it, so it was enough for both of us). We woke up at 5:30am because we wanted to see the sunrise and when that happened it started to get the hot started again. We went to take a shower and drove back to home. We wanted to stay all day but it was impossible with that hot the heat. You can't be comfortable any time at all. Besides, in the morning, there was something green in the water and it had bubbles. It was so gross. Some parents took their children into the water. I couldn't believe that. How can they do that? Don't they see it's green? It's so sad the ocean it's is not the same as it used to be.
    The good thing is that we spent that time together. We did it because we are pretty sure those were the only 2 days we could be together. My day off is Tuesdays, my mom's Saturdays and my Dad's Sundays. I'm happy we could do it. I will always remeber remember that. And I didn't burn my skin with the sun (I don't like to go out with sun). I prefer winter because you just need a jacket and some boots to be ok but in summer there's no way to feel comfortable. I feel that way in this country that it's not that extreme. I think the most extreme temperature in winter here it's is like 10ºC and I think it doesn't happen every year. Maybe 14ºC or 15ºC where I live.


    Very good post :) The corrections I made are very minor and I understood everything you wanted to say. Good work :)

    A new baby

    I was told that my sister was going to give birth soon. To be honest, I was a bit shocked when I heard this news. The first thought that came to my mind was how to help her. Despite the fact that she was not due for another 3 months I decided to find some necessary stuff that could help her to save some money. I brought her a crib, a mattress and 4 bumper pads. It just needed to be assembled and the good crib (Saying 'the good crib' is technically correct it sounds a bit odd in English. Saying 'the crib' is more natural sounding) was ready to use. I also brought her car seats for infants and toddlers. Those helped her to save pretty much money. That It was not too easy to get my friends to give all their baby stuff to me but they agreed to part with all of their equipment. They gave me a baby monitor, a video monitor, a changing table, not to mention a big pack of diapers. The At first minute, when I was giving all this to my sister, she didn't want to take it, saying that she didn't have a baby room set up yet, but I convinced her since there's no time like the present. My friends were happy to part with all of their stuff because it really helped them to free up space in their appartments, garages, etc. As for me, I was happy that I could kill two birds with one stone (I helped my sister to save money and helped my friends to free up some space).


    Very good post! Your English is very good.
