Eight sentences education. Could you please help me thanks a lot

Education is a major and integral part of any modern society. One of the best education systems in implemented Finland where children not only acquire certain knowledge but do so in a relaxed atmosphere that prepares them for the digital era. As a result, there is no pressure on kids and they can choose what they want to learn. 
In contrast, the educational system in Russia is very strict. Children can't choose what they want to learn and how they would like to learn it. There are marks which divide children into categories of bright and not bright. Tests are also held every week which is a huge stress for children. 
In conclusion, I think there shouldn't be any marks in schools and that homework should be chosen by kids themselves.

Hi there,

Have you tried watching a couple YouTube videos; not of videos to teach English, but vloggers like Casey Neistat etc. These videos are great to enhance vocab and gain an understanding of the use of particular phrases. 

The biggest obstacle when learning a new language is over coming the internal confidence barrier and not being afraid of making mistakes. In time you will slowly become more and more confident. Just remember that the majority of English speakers are supportive of people learning the language. It may take you a little more time, but ask as many questions as you need to. Questions like 'what is another word that is simillar to ____' and 'in what context is it ok to you this phrase'? 

If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to let me know and I'll try my best to help.

Kind Regards,

Megan

Happy Birthday to Myself

Happy Birthday to Myself (

Yesterday it was my birthday.

Now that I am passed 20 years of age I don't really like to celebrate my birthdays as much. In saying that, yesterday I celebrated the day by enjoying the day with my boyfriend. Together we went to eat at an Italian restaurant and had squid ink spaghetti and a calzone. Afterwards, we also ate cake and before blowing out the candle I made 3 wishes. Every year I make a deal to myself to set and achieve three goals before my next birthday. Previously I haven't had much luck, but this year I will try my best to achieve my three goals. 

Although not having been to, nor have experienced what life is like in a developing country; I believe a potential reason why people from developing countries have a more positive outlook on economic growth is due to their strong sense of hope often lined in either their religion or sense of togetherness with one another. When stripped down to nothing of course, by human nature, everyone would potentially come more grateful for even the slightest economic growth as economic growth equals opportunity and opportunity breeds success, happiness and stability. This sense of gratitude is less evident in developed countries as they are already surrounded by potential opportunities to succeed and often forget how lucky they are. 

I believe it is not ones economic growth that improves the standard of living, but the bonds made by people along the way. In saying that, a bi-product of economic growth is often meeting new people through gaining new opportunities... so I guess it has an underlying importance.
