    education

    First of all, I am going to talk about my experience at school. I started when I was five years old, but before [that]I went to a nursery school near my parent´s house. I [don't] remember anything about nursery school, although when I went to study at primary school I have more really good memories.
    My experience at school was absolutely nice because I had an excellent teachers who taught me differents subjects. I was good at the studies, altough I studied very hard. At school I meet a lot of friends that now they are my best friends and we are doing several things every weekend, such as going out to the disco, playing tennis, having dinner or having a good time talking about our life. Besides [that], two years ago I have been going to the University [for two years] with my best friend Irene. I have been studied History of Art and my friend has been studying English. We got an unbelievable marks in spite of we are working every day.
    I think the education system has changed because when I studied, the teachers were more strict. However now the children are studying with [a] different style. They have more posibilities to learn anything. They have computers, Internet that they can use to look for information and there are a lot of ways to learn better.
    I only would change one thing: in my opinion the goverment should give more scholarships in order [for the] to students can [to] study and go to the University. and They could be better at all [everything].

    Please correct if any error occurs.

    I just discovered this website. I haven't heard about it before. I think it's very interesting and helpful for people who want to exchange languages and make new friends. With the help of native speakers we can get to know the language first hand. More importantly, we get to experience all kinds of cultures. Really hope I can make some new friends here:>)

    Fast Running and Slow Running

    Running is a good form of exercise. It is healthful [a healthy] exercise. It is good for our hearts and lungs. I think there are two kinds of running. One is slow [and] the other is fast. Not everyone can keep fast running for a long time. But most people can keep [do] slow running for a long period of time. But if you keep [do] slow running for a period time everyday, you will run faster than ever. I like to slow run.

    Essay (University education)

    Hello there. Right now I am preparing for the IELTS exam, and the most difficult part for me will be the writing. I have written this essay as a part of my preparation, and I will be very grateful to anyone, who will fix my grammar and style mistakes. (I've checked spelling using dictionary). Thank you in advance.

    Question:
    People attend college or university for many different reasons (for example, new experiences, career preparation, increased knowledge). Why do you think people attend college or university? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

    Essay:
    For the past [one] hundred years, our civilization has achieved incredible results in science, and it is said that at the moment we are developing with [an] exponential speed. New times dictates new conditions, and in this new world education plays one of the main roles. Nowadays, many branches of [the] economy feel [a] shortage in good specialists and [an] education in [from] colleges or universities becomes essential in many aspects. However, any student will [can] receive benefits from extra education.

    Firstly, the possibility to continue education after secondary school means [the] prospect of [a] high[er] salary. [A] more educated person is able to perform more complicated work, he knows his branch [field] in more detailed way and, as a result, is more profitable for [an] employer. For some high-paid professions, the higher education is a requirement due to profession complexity. For example, you can not become a doctor just after finishing high school, and I see it very reasonable due to very complicated structure of [the] human body. To be able [to] diagnosis [diagnose] the illness, medicine specialists have to know a lot about it. However, such knowledge require[s] considerable time and therefore should be studied at university.

    Secondly, sometimes higher education allow[s] to develop [the development of abilities] ability and talents of the student. If he has already chosen his future profession, he will get more knowledge and experience about this field in college or university. Especially it can be said [This can be said especially] about young scientists or people related to complicated fields such as engineers, builders, or programmers. Higher education is the most prospective way to become a professional and to do favorite business.

    In conclusion, it can be said that nowadays higher education provides a lot of benefits for students. [The] economy require[s] professional workers, and educated people receive higher salaries. But Also, universities and colleges provides [a deeper] more deep understanding of [the] subject and allow[s] to discover [the discovery of] new areas.
