I am a transracial Korean American adoptee. I was raised in New York and moved to Charleston, SC last July with my husband and two cats. I took Spanish and ASL in high school and did very well in them both, but have unfortunately lost most of what I learned back then due to lack of use. I have been trying to learn Korean for a few months now in an attempt to reconnect with the culture and country I lost in being adopted. I have been studying and trying to memorize Hangul. It's very difficult!

    Tratando de recordar español Tengo una clase del español cuando yo estaba en la escuela primaria y la escuela secundaria. Tomé seis años del español en total. No hablo español regularmente en un largo tiempo - creo en nueve años! Pero quiero mejorar mi conocimiento del español así que puedo hablo con otra gente en este idioma bonita.

    About travel

    I like to travel a lot. I enjoy getting to know other cities in my country (Brazil) and abroad, too. It's the main reason I wanted to learn English.

     

    When I have a holiday (just to let you know, in the US, "holiday" is usually called a "vacation" instead), I sometimes take my backpack and go to the country. I like to stay in the middle of the nature with mountains, waterfalls, etc. Other times, I visit historic and culturally interesting places. I also eat foods typically found in each place. This is an important part of travelling. :)

    Asking information for a course

    Dear Madam:
    I'm writing to you to obtain information about a summer course. I'm interested in Tennis. I'm 23 years old, and I want to attend the course on weekends because I work, and it's the only time I'm free.
    I need to know how I can get to Ferguson Sports School, from Street Forest, Manchester; that is where I live. I want to know what the best route is.
    I have several questions about the course that, if you don't mind, perhaps you can answer for me:
    1- How much does a one-month course cost?
    2- Is it offered in the summer? 
    3- How many people are in the class?
    4- Do the dorm rooms in the residence halls have en-suite bathrooms?
    I would like to thank you in advance and don't hesitate to contact me if you require any information.
    Best Regards,
    Aro

    World Cup is coming and some problems too

    In three weeks, the World Cup will start in Brazil. It is a big event for Brazilians and for many people around the world who like the football (or soccer).

    In Brazil, especially in the last 12 months, this subject is a mix of excitement and revolt. Some people like the idea of seeing the best players of the world in our country. Also, they think that it is a good opportunity for Brazil to increase its tourism industry.

    On the other hand, some criticize the huge amounts of money that have gone into constructing new stadiums. Their opinion is that money should be spent on education and public health. In 2013, there were uprisings and strikes during the Confederations Cup, with thousands of people on the streets. It is highly like that acts like these will be repeated during the World Cup with big consequences.

    It is only my opinion, but the fact is that in 12 cities that will host the matches, there will be a huge impact on their lives.

    Computer games are very bad for people and they cause a lot of problems

    First of all, I want to point out that it's an FCE essay. So the theme was given and I don't want to raise any discussion here, just check it for any mistakes and collocations, thanks

    ----

    The increasing popularity of the Internet and computers makes computer games popular, as well. But while modern technology does have benefits for us, is it true for computer games, too?


    On the positive side, it's believed that some games help you to improve logical thinking and increases your reaction time. Also, some researchers claim that online games can help people to overcome their shyness.

     

    On the negative side, playing games takes up too much time, which could be spent more efficiently. Moreover, your eyesight may get worse from staring at a screen for long periods of time. Playing games without a break every so often can possibly distort someone's sense of reality. 


    In conclusion, computer games aren't entirely bad. It's an enjoyable pastime, but you should do it in moderation.
