With easy-to-reach sports equipment installed in the central parks and other places, people are able to do exercise more regularly. These facilities offer catering for all ages, different interests and levels of fitness, for children but also disabled adults. Today’s sedentary lifestyles and stressful working conditions can possibly be changed by participating in more physical activities and no longer be part of individuals’ lives. (Hard to translate what this is suppose to say, Maybe something like; ,Which allows people to come together and no longer feel so alone in life.)


There is a Public-interest in advertising over these health issues, which raises more awareness of teenagers who sit in front of computers, browse the internet or play video games often. Prompting more enthusiasm for sports, such as organized sport matches or sport strategy sharing meetings, which might also have a positive influence on sports. Furthermore, the government can set new rules and policies on preventing junk food, tobacco and alcohol which contribute to diseases.

It has been suggested that high school students should be involved in unpaid community service as a compulsory part of their high school education programs. In my opinion, working in a community is a good idea as it provides a wide range of skills.

Social skills are important and by doing some volunteer work, students can gain experience of how to communicate with others, but also how to manage time effectively and how to cooperate with other members to improve their teamwork. They are also able to acquire problem-solving skills, for example, when getting into trouble with other workers, they need to consider how to address it efficiently. Addtionally, they are more motivated to gain life skills that can be an asset to their future careers. While working on community tasks, students can even have more opportunities to make friends and become closer with others.

However, there are also some disagreements on this compulsory program. One problem is distraction. High school students are busy with their studies, focusing on the preparation of their college entrance examinations. Doing some volunteer work may distract those students who lack self-control. The other reason for disagreement is that this program requires schools to pay extra insurance costs in order to ensure students safety, which increases expenditure. In addition, some students may get bored if they were required to extra finish tasks. This means, it is their freedom to decide whether to volunteer for unpaid community service.

All in all, in my point of view, unpaid community service as a compulsory part of high school education should be put into practice as it gives students more opportunities to gain new skills.

A happy day

Today is Labour Day. I get 3 days off. I am very happy, because now I have time to relax and do the things that I want. Yesterday, I made an appointment with my friend, we planned to play in the centre of the city today.
I got up early this morning and then went on to do some exercise. After I had breakfast, I met up with my friend at the school gate. We took a stroll round a bazaar and ate some delicious food. The weather today was sunny, it was really hot outside. I basked in the sunshine for the whole day. I felt as if I caught a suntan.
The most happiest thing for me today was when we went to khan Steam. It was the first time for me to experienced it. I was really excited. While lying on the hot stocks I felt very comfortable. I went into a high temperature room for sweat steaming,the temperature reached up to 70℃. I stayed in there for 10 minutes. It was so hot, that I could't stop sweating. My friend only stayed in there for 2 minutes and before she went outside. She couldn't stand such high degrees. But I really enjoyed it. I think the high temperature sweat steaming is benefical for our health and skin. Couse sweating is detoxifying. What's more, it can really help us relax, reduce tension,and relieve stress. We took a lot of pictures in there. Both of us had such great fun.
Since my English is not good eough, I can't describe it very well. I want to try my best to express my thoughts and feeling much better in the future. So I'll be writing English diaries frequently here on italki, and share the new things that happen with me. I also want to make lots of new friends who love learning different languages and have a great passion of sharing. We can help each other and make progress together.
That's all. Thank you for reading.

my new career

Last month, I quit my job and started a new career. I worked as a technical engineer for the past three years, I enjoyed learning technical knowledge and I did my job very well. I am thankful to the leaders and colleague's who taught me a lot and always trusted me. But as a designer I had to spend most of the time staying in the office,sitting on my seat and facing my computer, this really made me frustrated because I like moving around, I love communicating and listening too.

Currently, I’m doing foreign trading, I sell almost everything to do with aluminium extrusion, including dies,profile and related equipments. Fortunately, I can apply my knowledge to this field and learn new skills, I am able to talk with different kinds of people every day. I Hope this is good beginning.

The financial system of Ghana (thanks for your help)

The financial system of Ghana includes business intermediaries such as the central bank owned by the government. As well as commercial banks, specialized banks, foreign-owned financial institutions and other financial institutions. There are four big banks in this country, including Ghana's Commercial Bank, Barclays Bank Ghana, Agricultural Development Bank and Ecobank Ghana Limited. In 2008, The Ghanaian central bank declared that the reserve ratio should improve, which triggered a large scale of merging and acquisitions. For example, The Bank of Africa merged with Ghana’s Amalbank, Access Bank merged with Intercontinental Bank and Ecobank merged with The Trust Bank.
In Ghana, economic dealers such as householders, businesses institutions, governments, analysts and observers argue that the banking system is not competitive. Currently the financial sector of Ghana is made up of 23 banking institutions, 126 rural banks and 41 NBFIs (Bank of Ghana Annual Report 2007). Of the 23 banking institutions, 22 banks providing universal banking businesses are limited to enter into only domestic banking businesses, while a foreign-owned bank aiming at general banking services is allowed to enter into all forms including domestic and international banking which involves both residents and non-residentential clients.

Introduction

Hi, my name is Chalsea. I am from China.My Chinese's name is 吕灿嫦. I was born in DongGuan city, GuangDong province. I can speak Chinese Cantonese and Mandarin. I am new to this website. Now I have a question, I am wondering how English people greet each other when they meet accidentally. Is there someone who can answer me?

I do not entirely understand the question. But, if you are refering to when you see someone you were not expecting to see. We usually say our normal greetings;

Hello, how's it going? or Hi, how are you.

You could say "Hello, I didn't expect to see you, how have you been?"

Hope this helps!
