- <ol><li>Minimum age is 16. And, I did not get a job at that age (or indeed, until I had graduated). </li><li>Well, majority of people take out a student loan which is repaid when one earns a certain level of income from employment, but you are also able to pay your fees privately if you can afford it. </li><li>No, I personally did not, but I cannot imagine it would be that difficult as most people do work part-time. Unless you are studying something like medicine or an engineering degree of some sort, I don’t think working part-time will be to the detriment of your studies. </li></ol>I hope that helps.0 votedJune 22, 20190
- Hi, Regarding the first question, neither is incorrect, but the last of the three would be most commonly used - “why are snakes the symbol of medicine?” The second one can be used too, and it would be perfectly fine. The first one however you would only use if you are speaking of a specific snake but, as you are asking why snakes in general are the medicinal symbol, you would use the second or third question. Regarding the second question, again, both are fine and correct. “The elephant is a huge animal...” can be taken to mean both a specific elephant, or elephants in general (context would inform your meaning).0 votedJune 16, 20190
- Difference between che and cosa? Ciao a tutti! Ho una domanda riguardo “cosa” e “chi”... And, I shall speak in English now (and apologies for any grammatical errors in my Italian!). I have been taken to understand that both these words mean “what?”, but can they be used interchangeably, or are there specific situations/rules of grammar when one is more suitable than the other? For example: Cos’è? - what is it? Cosa una mela? - What is an apple? Che ore sono? - What time is it? Che pane? - what bread? Are the above correct and, if so, why is cosa used in some instances whilst che in others? I read that che cosa is in fact the proper way of asking what, whilst che and cosa are a manner informal, but I cannot be certain, and would be most grateful if somebody could kindly clarify this matter for me. Grazie tanto!June 16, 201950
- I believe that one forfeits his right to live when he unlawfully withdraws the life of another.Murderers, rapists and peodophiles are better dead than alive.And certain countries would surely benefit from having the death penalty, like Brazil for instance where the prisons are severely overcrowded and, prisoners have a high propensity to re-offend. I think the recidivism rate is something like 70% (or so I once read), but cannot be certain.There is the inevitability of innocent people being wrongly convicted, and indeed this is a sorry circumstance, however in the absence of the death penalty, that innocent person would still be convicted and perhaps spend the rest of his life (or a great deal of it) imprisoned, all the while aware of his innocence, unable to prove it. And surely that must be a fate worse than death.0 votedJune 14, 20190

If they are of the same level you are, then perhaps you can agree upon a lesson you both are to learn in advance, and then during the exchange you review it together. You can also engage in conversation of course, to further improve.
If they are of a high level, then it should not matter they are not a native speaker, as the person above has pointed out.
