https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctorate A doctorate and doctoral degree mean the same thing, which is required (in the United States) to teach at most universities or work in certain professions--you can teach at some universities with a Master's degree, but most require a doctorate. A PhD is a type of doctoral/doctorate degree. There's also a M.D., J.D., etc. The link I posted shows the different types. In the U.S. it's: high school (4years) --> Bachelor's Degree (4 years) --> Master's Degree (2 years) --> Doctoral Degree (anywhere from 6-12 years depending on what you're studying.)

View from Turin, Italy

We talked about Turin, Italy with Gennie, who lives there.

A stunning view in the picture below represents a gorgeous horizon looming over the Italian Alps. It is difficult to guess what the tallest building in this photo if you don't know the answer. This is the oldest Cinema Museum and it looks like a big tower, which is the highest structure in Europe (167,5 m).

The North of Italy where Turin located is one of the most developed parts of Italy. Fiat Automobiles Factory is based in Turin, and it is the largest automobile manufacturer in Italy.

The next great tourist attraction is an Egyptian museum. It is the second biggest Egyptian museum in the World after the Cairo's museum.

There is also some very famous Christianity sightseeing in Turin: The Shroud of Christ. Many people come from around the world to see this.

The Turin Shroud is a length of linen cloth with the image of a man, that is believed by some to be the burial shroud of Jesus of Nazareth. The shroud is kept in the royal chapel in Turin. The Catholic Church has neither formally endorsed nor rejected the shroud.

In 2006 Turin welcomed the Olympic Games. Before the year 2006, Turin was known mostly as an industrial city, rather than a holiday destination, but the 2006 Winter Games helped change that image. Turin became the fourth-most visited Italian city, after Rome, Florence, and Venice.

I asked Gennie's recommendations for a beach vacation in Italy and here is her answer:

Sardinia is great but it is a very expensive place. Gallipoli is a southern Italian town and comune in the province of Lecce, in Apulia. This is a great place and not expensive at all.

Great job! I hardly had to make any corrections. Some phrases didn't sound natural and there were minor grammatical errors, which I highlighted, but overall very good! :) I never had an issue understanding what you were writing. 

I AM NEW HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi! Just now I found a interesting website!Yes! It is italki.com. that can communicate with foreigners.I wanted to join a website like this for a long time. And I am new here.
I am Zoe. I am Chinese and I am a senior high school student. In order to improve my English and get better grades in my exam I decided to start using iTalki.
We can talk about a lot of things, such as different cultures in different countries as well as news and lives. And I love music, Japanese anime, moives, novels and so on.
If you want to improve your Chinese, please add me as your friend. It doesn't waste much of your time. And I will be glad from the bottom of my heart to be your student and friend. I sincerely hope we can help each other.
Sometimes I will use translater and I write a sentence thinking in Chinese. So I may respond slowly. And if I make a mistake, please forgive me. If I am free, I will respond to you as soon as possible.
PS:The summer holiday is ending soon（in two weeks summer vacation will end), and I will be going back to school then. And it will be hard to be online.
Thanks for reading!

 

***Great job!!! Your English is very good (just a few small mistakes). Keep practicing! :)
