Education and Knowleadge
Today I wanna want to write about knowledge and the system of education. Now I'm 17 years old and I'm the a second year student in technical school. Today, I watched many videos on YouTube about the life, the genius kids, nature and others. Sometimes, I just want to wanna look around and see the world and see something that appreciate things that I usually don't I didn't notice, or that I usually don't appreciate as being valuable didn't thought that's valuable and so on. Many people say that since I am young, and I must study and study and study... until I'll be I'm 23-27 years old. Up until the age of 17, I was an average person that thought that I must have excellent marks, that I must listen to every person, and that I must be excellent in more competitions. That's what my parents and my grandma used tell me. my parents and grandma. However, a year ago, I started to realize that it's I have the wrong goals. Nobody can be excellent at every kind of job, subject, and theme. Nobody can be an excellent doctor, teacher, and programmer at the same time(simultaneously). In the Sovet Union, everybody must know every subject, and be a good person(very very good). And The scariest thing is that today many people in our country believe in that. Now I understand, a young persons who don't wanna want to be "good persons". They didn't go to some lessons, and they aren't living a standard live. Now I ask a question to myself "Why did I go to historical history lessons for over 8 years?","why did I do everything that older people said told me? "why "why didn't i do what i really wanna do?" I know the a woman that is 28 years old and is not yet studying she's studying yet.It's very scary... She wanna wants to have big a lot of knowledge. She's believing She believes in the russian system of education. She doesn't want to "offend teachers"(if she doesn't do go to university, if she doesn't do homework). I thought the same until July. I wanted to have 3 or 4 higher education - it was my goals. But now it's funny to me to to remember that.. I don't know everything, and have much knowledge about everything. I don't wanna be like Wikipedia. Now, when I wrote write, I understand that it's a very long theme(like everything in our life). I just write too much because I wanna want to do that and hope that we'll find and correct my errors :)

0 votedOctober 27, 20141Please correct my mistakes If possible. A Large Shopping Center May be Built in Your Neighborhood.
I think that this is a good idea, because in near my home there is not a are no large shopping centers so. Therefore, if a large shopping center had to be built, I think we can would be able to go there more and, in addition, we can have fun in addition that we can do and we can complete our shopping our needs easily. A large shopping center will look good and promote our area. has good view in a place and it caused our area is promoted. I would like to see a lot of people to coming near our home for to go shopping. This feeling give me a dynamism feeling. *(Maybe instead you can say - Thinking about this makes me happy/excited). It is interesting that a large shopping center is going to be builtding in our neighborhood. Please correct my mistakes. I will be so grateful.

Hi everyone, could you help me to correct this little article I had to make about the use of tablets in education? I had to watch several videos on Youtube and sum them up.
We talked about the use of tablets in education. Indeed, many schools propose their students to work only with tablets, and some people are against this controversial method. Matthew Gedenius, a computer programmer, educational technologist and teacher, draws the attention to the limitations of the iPad for education. “Millions of websites can't be accessed by iPads” because of a lack of important web applications like Flash. They are “unable to run powerful productivity software” and “are not cost-effective.” But However, the Essa Academy in Bolton chose to use the iPad in the teaching process. The students use the Apple's device so that they don't have to carry books around all time. The headteacher Showk Badat says that “it's a natural evolution and progression.” This video deals with all the advantages of the iPad in education such as, for example the fact that students can do exercises on the iPad and have an instant feedback of from their teacher, they can take the tablet home to do their homework, etc. It's about the real utility of the iPad. And At South Grove intermediate school, the students love their android tablet too. It helps them to “take the ownership of their learning” and is “easier than pens and paper.”
In all likelihood, the use of tablets is spreading everywhere. In America, in the UK, in France, as well as in a few asian countries, amongst others, schools are taking advantage of the iPad and other android tablets. In my opinion, the use of tablets in education is really important, because they have a lot of possibilities to offer. Thousands of helpful and costless applications are dedicated to the education and I have tried a lot of them to study foreign languages. Matthew Gedenius is right - there are some limitations, but more or less, we can always find (more or less) good alternatives. For example, the iPad does not have a built-in keyboard, but there is a the possibility to of buying one, or one can just use the virtual one proposed in it. The lack of important web applications is problematical, but Apple offers many alternatives with its apps. I use the iPad everyday to study, take notes, play educational games, listen to music or to the radio, and to watch videos, and I think all of these have help me to progress a lot.
Do you have something to add to this? Thanks!0 votedOctober 19, 20141Talking about Beijing Part One
Beijing is the capital city of China. Maybe you haven't come here, but it doesn't matter - I will speak about Beijing, and I hope it will help you.
If you haven't come to China, I suggest you come to Beijing first.
Today I will talk about the cultures. As we all know, Beijing has thousands of year's history. It's also the capital of many dynasties, such as, Qing dynasty, Ming dynasty, Yuan dynasty and so on. It is a mix of many nations' culture.
I recommend that you visit some famous places such as, for example, The Fobidden City. This is the palace where the King and his wife lived. You can see many things that the King used, whilst enjoying the palaces. Another place to visit is The Great Wall . It was built at least 2000 years ago by the ancient people to defend themselves. The last one is HuTong, which is a place that shows how the citizens lived.0 votedOctober 7, 20141
