    ABOUT ALBERT EINSTEIN


    Albert Einstein was known as a genius and I think he was. Now, I am going to write a page about Einstein’s life. Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in a town called Ulm, Germany. His father owned an electrical supply store, but he didn’t have many customers, so his shop failed. After that, Albert and his family had to move somewhere in the woods. Soon afterwards, his parents had another baby, who was named Elsa.

     

    Elsa and her genius brother spent their entire lives caring for each other. Albert was always so bored at school that even became a dropout. When he was in high school, he decided he would have a better education at home. This was when his uncle became his tutor and first teacher of physics and geometry. After completing his education, he went to a college where later he became a lecturer. While in school, he met a student who admired him, named Mileva. She later became his wife and the mother of his children.

     

    Albert was the teacher of physics of that same school and became the father of two children: Eduard and Leiserel Einstein. Sadly, Albert never had time in his life for his children, because he was always working in his office on one of his most famous works: E = mc² (energy equals mass squared). With this formula, he proved that Newton was wrong. When World War I broke out, Mileva divorced him because of the war. Einstein thought that by using his equation, he could create massive amounts of energy for public use. Later, the American government weaponised this idea and called it the atomic bomb, with the potential to wipe out a whole town.

     

    The first time the Americans used the atomic bomb was in Japan, which killed and injured many people. Albert sent a message to the president of the United States with the title: “The worst mistake of my life”. Soon after that, Albert died on April 18, 1955 in Princeton, NJ. Before his death, his last wish was: “To not have a grave, no memorial and no museum in his office or home”.

    Curious

    Hello every one, I send you my greetings. I am curious to know how long it would take to learn German fluently because I am still finding it difficult. 

     

     

    If you wanted to make your English sond more natural and informal, then try this: 'Hello everyone. I'm curious to find out how long it would take to learn German fluently as I'm finding it very difficult to learn.'

     

    Hope I helped! :)

    LETTER OF COMPLAINT (it´s not real :P)

     

    Dear Sir/Madam, 


    I am writing to complain about my anniversary dinner at “The Real Yummiest Restaurant”. It was dreadful last week due to problems with the special offer online and the staff. I purchased a special voucher on www.allvouchers.com, which offered a cheap romantic dinner for couples in your restaurant. Supposedly this coupon included a tremendous menu with sushi, lobster, white wine, a plethora of “love” desserts, unlimited drinks, etc. However, the real menu served was not what I bought online. It did not include unlimited drinks or sushi. Additionally, the cake which I ordered was incorrect. They wrote “Happy B-day, baby” instead of “I love you, baby”. It was really embarrassing for us.

     

    Furthermore, the restaurant’s staff were bad-mannered when we informed them about this mistake very politely. They didn´t even want us to write a letter of complaint. My anniversary was an atrocious night.

     

    As if this were not enough, when we were going to pay the bill, the waiters refused my voucher because I was asking for my bill after midnight, therefore it was the following day. According to your waiters, it had to be paid before midnight. I was dying of shame. Finally I had to pay without discounts.

     

    I would like to get my money back which was not taken off. I look forward to hearing from you within the next seven days. Otherwise, I will have to present a complaint at London City Hall.

    Yours faithfully, 


    Mr G Javier (Mrs is for a women, Mr is for a man. If this is your wife writing this, then you can keep it as Mrs).

    Are Computers Beneficial or Dangerous to Children?

     

    QUESTION:

     

    Using a computer every day can have more negative than positive effects on young children.

    Do you agree or disagree?

     

    ANSWER:

     

    Children’s obsession with computers can cause many problems, including short-sightedness and the decline of physical and psychological health. Nevertheless, if children can use computers healthily every day, they can also benefit from computers remarkably.

    Children can acquire the most up-to-date knowledge efficiently by using computers every day. Today, as the information around us is growing so fast, textbooks, teachers and parents will all have a hard time trying to teach children everything. Surfing the Internet every day serves as an inexpensive and convenient way for children’s knowledge to improve. Moreover, learning through a computer is fun for children. Therefore, it often keeps children studying enthusiastically.

    In addition, using computers every day helps children to make friends. By using a computer, a child’s social circle is no longer restricted by distance. They can easily make friends from different backgrounds and even friends from different countries. This may help them to learn to understand people of different races and sexualities from an early age. Over the long run, when these children grow up and are influential to society, problems of racial prejudice and homophobia will probably be less serious.

    Some people might argue that using computers every day might result in some risks to children. This is not entirely wrong, but these risks are only possible if children are obsessed with computers. Therefore, if teachers and parents take responsibility to regulate the use of computers for children, these problems can often be avoided.

    In conclusion, since computers are a good tool for children to acquire knowledge and make friends, the daily use of computers is generally beneficial. Adults should encourage it, but at the same time they should take measures to prevent children from being obsessed.

    How do I improve my English listening skills?
    When I was in 8th class, I wondered how I will improve my skills like speaking and writing, which I am not very good at. I also joined an English language institute for four months. During those four months my English fluency improved I little bit, but I can’t continue the course due to insufficient funds and also, the institute is very far away from me. However, if you people help me continue learning English, I will never forget this kind act. Thank you.

    American English is basically the same as British English, bar a few words and phrases. If you have a good understanding of basic British English, then just watch a lot of American TV shows, films, etc. and practise speaking to American people (such as people here on italki), then you will able to speak American English after a while. Good luck! :)

    My language learning story

    Three years ago I decided to start learning English so I asked my friends to give me some advisable recommendations according to their successive experiences. and then they did it.
    One of my friends, who was studying science at a college in Cyprus, gave me the name and address of a wonderful teacher named Mehran who was teaching English to fifty students in only one class!
    I enrolled and I've attended that class every day for six months! The teacher says has said a phrase in Persian and the students have repeated that phrase together loudly in English. , loud, all together!
    After six months, finally the course was over and I must say, we haven't learned anything :(
    You don't know how terrible was his class was! I don't wanna even wanna remember that. I have wasted my time and my money and actually I became very upset.
    Anyway, I started again and this time I've counted I relied on myself instead of my friends and I undertook an internet searching tour searched the interent to find the best language learning method and finally I've I found it. A multimedia computer software called Rosetta Stone. I've prepared I bought an illegal copy (I'm really sorry about it but there is no legal copy in my country, Iran, because of the US sanction) and installed it on my laptop and worked with it every day for six months.
    This software is wonderful, amazing and so easy to use! for beginners. There are all different types of language skills like pronunciation, vocabulary, reading, writing, speaking, conversation, voice recognition, etc. in only one program.
    I love it :)

    To be continued ...
