Hello! My name is Ben and I'm from Scotland. I am currently living in Barcelona teaching English. I have been learning Spanish and have now got to a level where I am comfortable using Spanish and I speak in Spanish almost everyday. On Italki I am looking for help with learning Spanish and also to offer help to anyone learning English. I am happy to talk with anyone and as I'm from Scotland you will also be able to hear the difference in my accent to most of the English you have already heard! I am also interested in other languages like Catalan, French and German but I am spending the majority of my time working on my Spanish.

    Lo que hice hoy Hoy me levanté a las seis y media, y me duché. No desayuné por que por la mañana no tengo hambre. Salí mi casa a las siete y llegué a mi trabajo a las siete. Tomé un café y empecé mi trabajo a las ocho. A la una terminé mi trabajo y volví a mi casa. Comí a las dos, tuve un bocadillo con pâté. Por la tarde hablé con mi novia por WhatsApp y vi videos en YouTube. A las seis y media tuve una lección en Italki y después cené chili con carne y arroz.

    writing task 2

    Most schools offer some type of physical education programme* to their students. Why is physical education important? Should physical education classes be required or optional?

    These days, many people tend to care about their health like a healthy diet, exercise, the increasing obesity rate and a variety of diseases. But because of overstretched budgets and timetables, there are many arguments about managing physical exercise at school.
    Physical education can improve a student's fitness level, so they can have a higher concentration level. Also physical education can help students let off some steam and become more efficient at studying. Too much physical education could cause a student to sleep in class or study less because physical education is quite active so can make student tired. There are many methods to improve health without a class in school. Some pupils who are not as good at sports could be bullied and ridiculed by their peers in school but also they are likely to lose interest in sports for life.
    On the other hand, it is difficult to take part in varied physical education programme after school as well as parents want their children to spend time learning, not playing sports. learn about schoolarly education ,not physical. Through exercise, children would become more physically active and can avoid sedentary life. This is also an effective way to tackle rising obesity.

    To conclude, physical education can make students feel tired and even cause them to be bullied and ridiculed in some cases. However, physical education is good for improving a student's health and it is would help to reduce the rising obesity rate. So I think physical education should be compulsory for children.

     

    * Programme in British English which I presume you want to use since you used programmes later on.


    A lot of the spelling mistakes in the essay are repeated throughout, for example eduation - education, excercise - exercise. You also don't need to use a capital letter after a comma, for example on the other hand, It - on the other hand, it. Sometimes writing into a word processor such as Microsoft Word or Google Docs can help iron out some of these basic mistakes. Just make sure you remember to set the language to English.

    In a conclusion you don't want to refer to the subject you are talking about as "it".

    I am Adrian, I work as a volunteer here in Marttinen. I am from Spain and I will be in this beautiful place for 9 months. I have come with the EVS programme. This belongs to the Erasmus+ programme and is financed by the European Union. If you want know more about EVS, I will write another entry to the blog in the future.

    I share this role with a spanish girl, Lydia. ( She will also write in this blog).
    I help around different departments in the center. For example I can help: in the kitchen, as an instructor, with the cleaning, with marketing or with the maintenance service.

    I chose this project because I like outdoor activities and I want to get to know a place completely different to my country, Spain. At the moment, I am happy in Marttinen and in the next few months, the weather will be better so I am going to do many activities. I love to practice sport! 

    I will send several pictures about my EVS experience so far!


    This really is a beautiful place!
