In Iceland , people often gather to read books during Cristmas Eve. Most families do it together at home, instead of watching TV. In fact, publishers and bookshops edit lists of recent releases which they send to the families during December. Furthermore, these lists include not only what is new but also suggestions based on the tastes of potential readers, so that people may chose the book to read on Christmas Eve and wait expectantly  to do it (I am not clear what "do it" refers to here) at that time. This phaenomenon phenomenon  is called by the word of my entry title. This tradition began when the Second World War ended, being becoming more and more popular over the years. What a nice way to enjoy Christmas Eve. Despite being surprising at first sight, it would not be that (this phrase is a little confusin , because Icelanders love read, so it is easy to understand the continuation of this traditionsuccess of this performance. A nation in which people love books like they do, surely are is able to build a better community, whose priorities are education and social rights, formed by true free citizen. Icelandic people have done it. Congratulations for to them.

Reasons for studying a second language

In the globalized world that we live speaking a second language is one of the most useful skills that we can acquire. Ever since we start school we hear remarks about the importance of learning a second language or even a third one and we attend foreign languages classes. There are many reasons for studying a second language; however I would like to focus on two of the most important reasons from my point of view: education and employment.

On the one hand, it is highly recommended to learn a second language if we want access to higher education. Nowadays universities use many academic papers and resources in foreign languages, especially in English. Therefore if you weren’t born in a country where English is spoken, having a good command of this language will help you to be outstanding in your university. On the other hand, once we finish university we have to seek jobs in a very competitive work market. As I said before globalization is playing a huge role in the work market and knowing a second language such as English has become crucial if we want to apply for vacancies. Even if we try to get a job in our own country speaking a foreign language will help stand out among others and it will increase our opportunities to access top jobs.

In conclusion, learning a second language can have a huge impact in our careers. Either if we want to study a university degree or find a competitive job, knowing a second language will boost our opportunities.

Where do you live?
Describe where you live.
Is it a house or an apartment?
Do you like where you live? / Would you recommend people to live there?

ANSWER:
I live in Leeds in a rented accommodation apartment. It’s a four-floor (plant house)(? This makes me think that your house is made out of a plant, like a big tree house or something. I think you are looking for "apartment building". Apartments are located in apartment buildings that are often two floors or more high. Houses are usually one or two floors and hold one family in one building. Mansions are large houses that are very fancy and expensive, and they can hold a few families.)  around with trees and grass with trees and grass around it. The owner maintained it very well, and he offered "many" or "all" kinds of furniture and equipment. It is also local located in a life convenience ("convenient" here maybe. I have never heard of a life convenience region in the English language. "Convenient" is an adjective that describes something as helpful and easy) region. I can buy almost any daily necessities just in ten minutes walk In just a ten minute walk. If there are is anyone who wants to rent an accommodation, I personally highly recommend this building that.

question

To the disadvantage of people can know, often wait for a good result for us a long time, this exactly is who?

Maybe this instead-- "Who is it exactly who waits a long time for a good result, often to the detriment of the people that he knows?"
