    A Letter to A Editor——A Writing Test of the WSK

    A mother wrote to a newspaper inquiring whether her son should go abroad to study as an undergraduate or whether he should go to a Chinese university before going abroad to study as a postgraduate.
    Write a letter to the editor of the same newspaper to this confused mother, and give reasons to justify your suggestions.
    You should write no less than 250 words.

    Dear editor:
    I have read a letter from a confused mother who can’t decided whether her son should go abroad to study as an undergraduate or he should go to a Chinese university before going abroad to study as a postgraduate. In my opinion, it’s better for her son to study abroad as an undergraduate, and here are my reasons below.
    Firstly, studying as an undergraduate can will help him adapt to the different lifestyle. As we all know, it is often a very-hard, sometimes perhaps very painful experiment for one to study in an environment which has a totally different language, culture, habits and so on. Besides, postgraduates always have more learning pressure than undergraduates. So it may be very helpful if he can study abroad as an undergraduate. Secondly, he can learn quite a lot of professional courses that relative with will relate to his postgraduate’s major. Different countries have different educational systems. If he can study in the foreign country when he is still being an undergraduate, he can learn many specialized courses that relative with relate to his master’s major. What’s more, if he can study as an undergraduate in the foreign country, he will have a great many chance to know his future professor and have the chance to choose the professor or lab that he is interested in. If he likes his major very much, he can even connect (???) with the professor or lab that he likes most, which can help him join in his favorite field in advance.
    It may become would be my great honor if I can to help this confused mother solve her problem.
    Yours truly
    XXX

     

    Note: "confused" is not the best word here. "Undecided" might be better

    Manga

    Manga is the equivalent of comics in Japan. the word manga is constituted by two kanji : "man" for distraction, "ga" for drew drawn. they there are many kind of manga, appointed according to the people to whom they are destined :
    - Shonen : for boys between 11 and 15 years old ; they push adolescents to develop a positif energy characteristic like such as : courage, perseverance, friendship ...most of the stories <em>highlight</em> (better: are about) a juvenile hero that the reader can identify with (ex : Bleach, Naruto, One piece ...
    - Shojo : fequivalent of Shonen but for Girls, most narratives cover topics such as: music, sports, school, fashion (ex : Nana, Fruits Baskets ....)
    - Kodomo : for girls and boys between 6 and 11 years old, to entertain children (ex : Pokemon, Astro boy....)
    - Seinen : Adventure stories, romance, thrillers or chronic daily life, adult manga addresses all issues, topics, universe, graphics vary, the most sober realism to the excess, it to be comic or dramatic???. The stories are mostly serious, intimate or otherwise epic.
    the intrigues are more complex, more subtler and it's more difficult to identify with the characters. (ex : Akira, Samurai Champloo, ...)
    - Young Seinen : for young adults, most of the time they treat with the genres: sci-fi, sports or combat. The drawing of this style is more realistic, and it remains fairly common to see scantily clad girls. (ex: Hajime no ippo, Gunnm, Prince of tennis, Elfen lied...)
    - Josei : The intrigues are more complex than in the shojo. Romantic relationships, seduction and sex are often the main topics of these stories, as are the concerns of modern young women such as celibacy, work and the ideal partner.(ex : paradize kiss, gokusen, Ai no Saikatsu ...)
    - Manwha : name given to the Korean cartoon, it is a simple translation of the word manga.(ex: Priest ...)
    - Manhua ; Chinese comics (ex:My way ...)
    - Anime : Television series, animation or Japanese movies (ex : Ghost in the shell ......)
    - ....
    We can see that there is a lot of great  variety of manga (better: a lot of variation in manga) , most of these kinds genres can track follow a Japanese person throughout his life and helps him overcome the difficult trials. There are so many kinds of manga, you will certainly find your happiness one that you like ...
    It remains only to determine what type of reading you want to start.
    personally I like Anime, Shonen, Seinen and young seinen manga, and you what about you ?

    Laissez-moi vous dire un peu de moi Je suis Anglais, j'ai dix-neuf ans et je suis étudiant, j'étudie des maths. J'habite à Londres mais mon université est au nord de l'Angleterre, alors mon temps est divisé envers le nord et le sud de l'Angleterre. Je suis très sportif, mon sport favori est le rugby, j'aime aussi naviguer et faire du ski. J'adore voyager, cet été je visiterai beaucoup de villes en Europe, par train. Pendant mes temps libre, j'aime lire, me détendre et passer du temps avec mes amis et ma famille.

    Writing about a new word learned

    Recently, I learned a new word which belongs to the financial field. This word is: liability. A liability is one of the balance sheet sections of a company. It allows managers to be well informed about the debts of the company. Most of the time, the higher the debt is, the lower the financial heath is, but this is not always true because sometimes the company has to borrow money to be able to stay competitive against the others companies in the same activity field. The loan will be able to create more cashflow and even reduce the debt which was contracted by acquiring this same money.

    Are English native speakers sick and tired of English learners?

    G'day! I have used this site for 1 year and I see that English native speakers are not so active. Of course you use this site because you learn foreign languages, and other native speakers help you and correct your notes and try to explain any rules. But most of you don't correct our mistakes and don't want to help, only for money. I think it because you're sick and tired of seeing the same mistakes and the same requests such as "help me to improve my oral English", "I need a practise, can you help me", "what's the difference between A and THE", "what's the difference between EVERYONE and EVERYBODY", "what does WANNA mean" and so on. Am I right? I received some requests from Australian and British guys who were learning Russian. They asked me to help them with their hometask. But when I made the same requst, they deleted me from their friends or said their internet connection was broken and they're not available lol. But after that I received the same request again lol. I don't blame you, I just want to check out my surmise. I can understand you. Even (note: I deleted "in") abroad you always hear your native but broken language and everyone comes up to you and says "hello" and start to say something which is not interesting to you, just for practise. And you have to stay and listen with a forced smile due to decency. So I think that's why the best site's thread are Russian and Chinese, and the worst is English because English native speakers are pissed off us and most of them have closed profiles. My French friend said that most French people don't like to speak English due to English expansion in their language. Now I see that English native speakers don't like it when non-native speakers try to learn their language because learners need (note: I deleted "a") help and I guess you think "oh shut up, why do you learn ENGLISH, why not another language((".

    Sorry for my grammar and typical mistakes, I've been learning your language only 2 years. But maybe I shouldn't applogize for my mistakes cuz it's rare for native speakers to look at English threads:D

    Go to my English class

    I haven't been to my english class for a long time.It's been about 200 days.
    The reason why I haven't been is I had to prepare for the post-graduate student entrance examination.Besides, I still had many classes to take at my university.I feel a little tired and can almost spare no time to go out. <em>(suggestion: I feel a little tired and almost can't spare any time to go out)</em>
    But now I have finally passed the exam,so I have time to go to my english class.Though my foriegn teachers might have already fogotten me, I will study hard and try to acquire a larger vocabulary.
    I hope I will be able to communicate, write and read in english like it is my mother tongue.

    J'applique pour travailler comme bénévole en France Il y a plusieurs raisons pour lesquelles je voudrais dépenser cinq semaines travaillant dans une auberge de jeunesse en Toulon. La première raison est que je voudrais améliorer mon français. J’ai étudié français à école pour quelque années mais j’ai arrêté parce que le progrés était lent et tous les cours étaient concentré sur l’examen. Toutefois, l’été dernière je suis allé en vacance en Europe avec des amis et j’étais très impressionné par tous les personnes que j’ai rencontrés qui étaient bilingue. Cela me suis inspiré à apprendre une langue. J’ai choisi apprendre le français car c’est une belle langue et la France est un beau pays. D’abord, j’aprennais seulement avec des apps et des podcasts, mais en Septembre, j’ai étudiés pour une mois dans une école de langue en Tours. C’était fantasitique! J’adorais le temps, les gens, l’école, la ville, la nourriture. Alors, quand j’ai commencé à l’université en Octobre, j’ai commencé un module de français parce que je voulais continuer améliorer. Les cours sont bonnes, j’améliore ma grammaire, mais j’ai appris en Tours que le mieux façon d’apprendre une langue est de vous plonger. Donc, je voudrais dépenser beaucoup de temps cet été en France. J’ai regardé plusieur options sur “Work Away” mais votre auberge de jeunesse est sans doute mon favori. J’aime l’ambiance d’une auberge de jeunesse: tout le monde est en vacance, tout le monde est détendu et amical, et chacun a son histoire personnelle. Je voudrais aider pour faire votre auberge de jeunesse une fantastique place pour rester. Je suis ravi de visiter Toulon, je n’ai jamais visité le sud de France. J’adore le rugby alors j’ai hâte de rendre viste la domicile du meilleur club de monde. J’aimerais visiter les autres villes sur mes jours de congé, si je peux trouver un façon. Il y a plusieurs raisons pour lesquelles je pense je serai un bon aide. Je suis travailleuse. Par exemple, j’ai réalisé des trés bonnes notes à l’école et en même temps j’ai joué pour une équipe de rugby très réussie, il a fallu travailler fort. Je suis poli, c’est pour cette raison que j’étais un préfet à l’école. Je suis passionné. J’ai déja fait du bénévolat, j’ai travaillé pour quelque semaines en été, enseignant des enfants à naviguer un dériveur. Cette expérience m’a appris être patient aussi, parce que parfois les enfants n’étaient pas sage!

    Two short stories. A child scooter. Supernatural.

    Today I saw a man between 20 to 30 years old who was riding on a children's scooter. His son was standing nearby and said:"Dad, come on, it's my turn!".

    My friend recommended me to start watching Supernatural. I didn't leave my room for 3 days. Sometimes my mom came to take dirty dishes, to give me some food and to remind me to go to the toilet.
