Having been Since he was able to talk to various kinds of animals, he had made a lot of friends of animals animal friends. He could even communicate with a great snake hissing. I was worried about him when spiteful monkeys took him away to the old city, but his friends fought them bravely and helped him.
In the end, Mowgli decided to survive stay in the pack of wolves.Well done! That's a good summary of the Jungle Book.

In this time, I am going to talk about how affect the technology affects to relationships.
I decided to talk about this topic because I consider that is necessary to know how influence the technology influences in our love life in special especially with the use of the social media.
Recent studies have estimated we pick up our smartphone over 85 times a day and can be online 25 hours per week.
Most of the time, we spent this time scrolling through FB, chatting to friends or family on WhatsApp or even just seeing watching memes. However, can the use of social media have a positive effect in a relationship? can have a positive effect the use of the social media in a relationship?
I have made Here is a list of the advantages.
1. Starting a conversation .
if you are interested in a girl or guy but you are a shy person, it can be easier more easy to you starting start a conversation online. Even, you even have the possibility to know what the person likes are the likes to the other person.
2. Keep in touch.
If you are into a relationship where you cannot see each other often it's not possible to see to your couple often. , the use of the social media can be very useful because you can send to him or her messages during the day or even make a video call.
3. Back up.
in the same way, if you're into a relationship, with the use of the social media it is easy to share and save your special moments dates through photos.
Do you know other benefits with the use of the social media can have in a relationship?Good job! Here are some tips for you:
After "to know", we can use this structure:
Subject + know + Question word + Clause subject + Clause verb + object
I know how technology influences our lifeHow to form a question with "can":
Can + subject + verb + object ?
Can you help me ?
Can the use of social media have a positive effect on relationship?0 votedMay 10, 20190- At Easter I was shocked by her new look appearance. She used to love changing her hair color, but at Easter she didn't have a lot of hair. I felt miserable looking at her and I was uncomfortable because I knew my curious and worried glances made things worse. I definitively came back definitely to Italy in May and the tragedy began. and everything went so fast. You just wanted to say "please, just give me a minute, I am not ready. Give me the time to make a time machine but not to go in for the past , to go to for the future, find a new medicine, come back here you are safe and save you. Your daughters need you. Where are you going? Stay here, It's not fair. You are the youngest." It didn't happen. We were just a sad, unlucky and powerless audience in front of of this fast unstoppable/inevitable tragedy. The tragedy took off her energy day by day: she stopped smiling, the light of the tv annoyed her, she stopped speaking, she stopped moving her arms and the only thing she could do was drinking water and then she stopped breathing. She died in her house and for her last night she was surrounded by her brother and her sisters (included my mom). There was a deep silence and outside there was a storm. The morning that when she died, my her daughters knew that something was wrong and they didn't go to her mother to say good morning. She died a few hours later when they left the house. She didn't survive and we didn't surviver too either: we will always miss a part of the family. My cousins are little strong strong little women even though sometimes they make me crazy because they don't want to do their homework and make me cry when they tell me "Sara, look at that star. It's the big one. I am sure she it is mom".
I'm sorry for your loss, Sara. It's a very moving text.
It's very well written. Well done.0 votedMay 4, 20192 Die Death at the age of 44: cancer
My aunt died at the age of 44. It happened like in the movies: "I thought this kind of thing happened to other people". Man, this time was my family's turn. But, back to the beginning. I left my family for the UK in September and my aunt was going to the hospital because she kept being sick (she had fever). She found out she had cancer. Did we panic? Of course. It was October and In October, I came back for a few days to Italy to visit her because she was operated underwent a surgery (they took her bladder out). We thought the cancer was died over and, after a few chemo, she could back to the her normal life with his her husband and little daughters. She used to be a simple woman: she hard working and never risen raised her voice (except when my cousins made something bad), she always helped the school with activities. She was a calm and soft presence. We spent Christmas all together and Easter too.0 votedMay 4, 20192my study
Your work or study
1. Are you a student or do you work now?
2. What subject are you studying?
3. Why did you choose that subject?
4. Is there anything that you don’t like about it?
5. What would you like to do in the future?
6. What are the most popular subjects in China?
7. What are your favourite classes/ courses/ subjects at school/ university?
8. Do you think it’s important to choose a subject you like?
I am a student at the Graduate School of Shenyang Agricultural University,and have been enrolled for nearly a year. My current major is accounting, but I used to study economics which is a subject that is very theoretical. The reason why I gave up studying economics and chose accounting as my major was because there are more job opportunities for accountants. But the reality is far more cruel than I thought. Although the society needs a large number of accounting practitioners, there are so (too) many students studying accounting. I don't think I can beat so many competitors when I am will be looking for a job in the future. To be honest, I am a lazy student who don't doesn't like calculations and memorization, so I don't like accounting. In order to find a suitable job in the future, even if I don't like accounting, I still have to study hard. I hope that I can work in the government department in my future because there is almost no overtime work there. As I just mentioned, I am a very lazy person. If I go to work in a private company, I will often be forced to work overtime. In my opinion, the government's finance department is a good choice for me.
The finance-related majors in China are highly sought after by parents and students,and the vast majority of the students who pass the liberal arts college entrance examinations in various provinces chooses to go to Peking University to study finance. Only a few students choose their major in college according to their own preferences.
My favorite course is physical education. In winter, my teacher used to take me and my classmates to skate on the frozen river. Although I often fell on the ice when I skated, which was very embarrassing, I still felt very happy in while practicing outdoor sports.
I think it is extremely important to choose a major that you like. If a student chooses a major that he does not like, he will feel that he has no motivation in his future studies/university curriculum study career, and he is not likely to delve into the field he is engaged in.Very good job! You're not a lazy English learner at all!
Good lucky with your studies. Keep up the good work.0 votedMay 4, 20190- Hello Mona, "to come along" means to arrive or to appear at a place.

Not All Knowledge is Usefull
It is under discussion question that usefulness is not a quality characteristic of all knowledge. A person can not cannot know everything and something does not just need to know.
It is scientifically proved fact that a human`s human brain cannot know everything. A person`s abilities have boundaries. It is the reason why everyone chooses the knowledge that will be useful for him or her for them. For example, the knowledge of weapon`s varieties knowing weapon types probably would not be worthwhile for an actor if he or she did not know a script.
Moreover, a person who has deep knowledge in one area will be more successful than a person who knows something in many areas. That shows unusefulness the uselessness of some knowledge for a person. Sherlock Holmes did not know the Solar system, but he was a professional in his deal field.
However, some people have a different opinion. They believe that a person may be successful only if he or she knows a lot. They guide by such examples of the give examples of people like Lomonosov, L. da Vinci who were educated in many subjects.
It is true that they knew much, but it needs to be mentioned that they lived centuries ago. Nowadays a person is surrounded by information while at the time when these people lived, the people humanity did not have so as much knowledge as now. It was People were able to remember all of it before.
In conclusion, some information and knowledge indeed are not useful.Good job ! I hope this helps.

0 votedMay 3, 20191I went to a vintage market.
I went to DongMyo the day before yesterday, because there is a huge secondhand and vintage market for when you can find everything. Actually, it was used to be a place for seniors, but after some shows showed that place it's become a hot place for any generations. I needed a backpack for my inline-skates and my protective gears and I didn't want to pay much, so I went there and brought about 7 bucks dollars. But it was my a mistake. It was far from enough. I think I should've brought at least 15 bucks dollars. Some of backpacks were over 15 bucks dollars, so I moved to another place about 30 minutes away by walk which took about 30 minutes by walk for having to have dinner. That is another market which is famous for a Korean pancakes and a kimbaps. I'd been really craving them for a while, so I was be patient to go where else I was impatient to go there.Note: "bucks" is casual slang for "dollars" :)
Well done!
