My first week in Australia (Travel Experience)

In Australia, it's a good day with a bright weather with the sun shining on the roof of my house.
I was learning vocabulary when I found this English website. The features of the website allow users to find the ways to improve their English. Since I reading this, I want to improve quickly and write about my life experience in Australia.

My first week in Australia:

Before to go away in Australia, I said "goodbye" to my family. It was not difficult because it hadn't hit me yet that I was going to go live in Australia for 4 months.
But I realized the situation when I gave my boarding pass to the cabin attendant.
I sat on the A380 Aircraft next to a married couple who were very nice. It was the best flight of my life.

essay part 2

Third, the last quote is really relevant because it introduces my next point. Many of the black people live in miserable conditions. They don’t have running water, electricity, proper roads, or easy access to their schools. They have to walk five kilometers to go to school and they have to walk a long distance to bring clean water to their homes. According to an article in the Washington post, the rate of unemployment is always around of twenty-five percent. Meanwhile, white people live like a North Americans. I mean They all have a cellphones, they use computers, and laptops, and they get all the essential services like electricity and running water in their houses. Their houses are very close to their schools. The gap between black and white is very big.

To conclude, the three reasons why I think the apartheid in South Africa is still a current are: the limited access to the education for the black people, the rampant corruption, in South Africa is rampant and their miserable living conditions of living. I think it will getting worse because the government is very corrupt and it will revoke some rights from the black people. It is very sad because many people fought all their lives for the freedom and the liberty and it is becoming like it was before.

essay part 1

The apartheid in South Africa lasted for forty-six years. It happened between 1948 and 1994. Many people fought for the rights of black people. One of them was Nelson Mandela. He went to prison for twenty-seven years for resisting apartheid. Even though the official end of the apartheid was in 1994, it's still is a current issue. Desmund Tutu, another civil rights defender like Nelson Mandela, said in an interview with <em>The Economist</em>: “I'm glad that Madiba is dead. I'm glad that most of these people are no longer alive to see this,”. Madiba was the name of Nelson Mandela's name when he was younger.
First of all, I think that the apartheid is still a current issue because the black people in South Africa have a limited access to the education. According to <em>The Economist,</em> newspaper the level of education for black people in South Africa has been ranked 132nd of 144 countries, and the quality of education has been ranked 143rd of 144 countries. There is a big gap between black people and white people in South Africa. Three-fourths of the white South Africans finish high school, but only the 1/3 of black people do so.
Second of all, Another reason why I think the apartheid is still a current issue is the corruption. The Corruption is still rampant in South Africa. The government steals a lot of money from the population, so it avoids the which prevents improvements in quality of life for many black people. Even if for a part of them their conditions are better though some of them have better conditions, many of them live in poor conditions because the government steals money. They build house like a castle and they lead a good life while many of them are starving in the streets. A black politician made an interview in the German world newspaper, and supported this claim. He said: "I believe that if we root out corruption we will be able to deliver such essentials as electricity, running water, proper roads, schools and clinics to the people in rural areas."

Hi Alex,

Thank you so much for telling me about the concert. Yes, of course, I'd like to go to the concert with you!

To answer your first question about the band: they are from London and they play different kinds of music. The band plays post-90s music and three of their singles were on the top of the hits on the radio (listas de éxito). I recommend you listen to last CD, it's my favorite. The mix of voices and instruments sounds excellent for me.

Regarding your second question, in my view, it'd be better we were standing. That way, we could dance, be nearer to them, and hear them better and heavier.

And lastly, the next day I'd like to go to my favourite park in your city. There are a lot of wonderful plants and flowers there. I really enjoy going there very much. After we'll have walked we walk around the park, we could go to have lunch. Do you like my idea, or do you prefer to do something different?

I'm looking forward to meeting to you at the concert, I wish time flew!


Take care,


Anna.

HOLIDAYS ADVICE

Dear Sara,

I am very happy to hear from you. You made a very good choice when you decided to come to my region for vacation/holiday (or "for the holidays" if you're referring to the winter holidays of Christmas and New Years Day). My region is not a popular place for international tourists but you will find some very nice cities here.

You are going to fly to Madrid, so you can spend the first day there. Later you can visit Avila which is very famous for its walls and the historical city center. The nearest city is Salamanca. There you will find many places to visit, such as the Cathedral, the University and the Plaza Mayor. Salamanca is also very famous for the parties. Is better to spent a couple of days there.

After Salamanca, you can go to the Natural Park "Arribes del Duero". Once you arrive to Aldeadavila de la Ribera you can take a boat and have a trip across the river. The is crossing both sides of the border between Spain and Portugal (I'm not sure what you mean here, I'm sorry).
On your way back you can go to Zamora, Ledesma or Tordesillas, all of which are full of historical places to visit.

I would advise you to rent a car in Madrid, because the public transport is very slow and comes very infrequently.

I hope you will have very nice holiday. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards

Topic: Measures to protect endangered animals

As you know, animals play an important part in our environment. They help maintain the biodiversity in nature. Today many animal species are in danger of extinction. In this essay, I will discuss some measures to protect endangered animals. Firstly, governments can set up some organizations to advocate the important of saving the species of animals and plants. Also, many reserves should be built in order to protect the endangered species. Secondly, rules must be banned to protect from the deforestation must be banned. Thirdly, we should educate people from a young age about the importance of wild animals in maintaining the ecosystem and biodiversity. In addition, young people should be educated on ways to protect our environment, such as taking out the garbage correctly, caring for animals, and planting trees. In conclusion, I think there are many measures to protect endangered animals and each of us has the responsibility to protect and save endangered species before it is too late.

My favorite book

I usually read books about romance, personal achievement, fantasy, and fiction. I love to read because I think it's a cool way to learn about new things, see other places (in a figurative sense), and open my mind. When I'm reading I practice my native language and learn more and more about it every time. My favourite autor is Paulo Coelho; I think his books are brilliant. He's a Brazilian man, but in Mexico he's very famous. Is so dificcult to choose my favourite book, but if I had to, I would say "11 minutes" by Paulo Coelho. That book is absolutely amazing, and I enjoyed every moment reading it. The book tells the story of a Brazilian prostitute. This book changed my mind about the prostitution and taught me so many things, because before I didn't know anything about prostitution and that thinks. If you want to read a book I would recommend "11 minutes". I promise it will be very enterteining. I'm searching for new books to read too, if you know some books make me know please tell me about them. I'm searching for my first book in English to practice the language.

Thanks for reading this, a hug.

I love the fantasy book "A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeleine L'Engle. :)
