Learning a language from 30
Hi guys! Today, I´m going to talk about advantages or disadvantages about learning from when you are in your thirties.
Well, I´m learning English and I´m 33. I started to study English two years ago and for me, English is an authentic (maybe you mean realistic? Authentic is used to mean it is not a fake) goal. Actually, I´m trying to learn on my own and that has got some good things about it too.
One one hand, you can meet a lot people who is are learning your language tongue (either mother tongue, or language) and that is good because you can do an exchange, so somehow you are learning a language and you are learning about that culture at the same time. I think is fantastic, because when you use something to learn, you can grow much a lot as a person.
Therefore, where you are surfing in the internet to look different materials, you are discovering a lot of new things, so it´s a good point as well. You can find some very interesting websites where you can get exercises to practice.
On the other hand, you also have some troublesproblems owing to the fact that you have not do not have the same routine that you did when you were 20, so, you have more responsibilities in your life like children, a job, housework, and that could be a handicap because you are going to have less time, less money to spend in on books or magazines which could be a good tool to learn.
In spite of that, I think the best thing you could do is an immersion in that language. You have not the chance to stay in abroad for a long time, but you can practice in other ways. Listening to the radio when you go to the job are at work, you can reading some websites in English, reading some digital foreign newspapers or talking with native people are some good ideas to learn more and more.
From my point of view, the most important thing is that you are very motivated and excited at the same time from the moment you decided learning a new language would be a goal for you, because it´s the only way I know to get do it!
That´s all for today. Regards!0 votedJuly 13, 20160- After analyzing these standpoints, we can see that both of them are quite viable. Division according to national borders is usually relevant in one situation and not really acceptable in the others. As for me, in realitiesy, of such in the case of an almost developing country as Russia, the first opinion seems more appropriate closer. I guess that we can't help everyone, but we can improve life around us, at least a little bit. Maybe in the future, the wealth of the whole world will grow to the point where charity will be relevant only in situations of natural catastrophes and two thirds of the world won't be in everyday need of basic thing like food, water and medical treatment.0 votedJuly 13, 20160
Pretty amazing English! Well written!
IELTS writing 2. Essay 1. Charity
Some people think that charity organizations should only offer help to people of their own country. Bbut others believe that these organizations should give aid to people in great need wherever they live. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
(Discussion essay)
Charity organizations give gratuitous free (gratuitous tends to be used to mean "done for no good reason", rather than free) support to people in need. A great variety of charityable organizations around the world give people free medical treatment, food and other goods, habitation housing and social support. A great number of them act within a local area, but there are as wellalso a worldwide funds and institutions. Some people believe that it's not acceptable to spent charity resources toon people in foreign countries. On the other hand, there are numerous opinions that people in great need should get aid regardless their place of residence. Both points of view have a ground to stand can be defended and will be discussed in this essay.
Looking first at the supporters of local charity implementation, it's hard to argue with their position (but then you do argue with their position later on?). Citizens of a country who give money for the charity usually prefer themit to be spent foron enhancing life around them. It's a natural human feature to help a fellow men,; no wonder that people often share this opinion. It is especially acute for not really wealthy countries that are not particularly wealthy. It's is sort of strange to help foreigners when your own neighbors suffer and this is why I support this standpoint.
In contrast it is believed that charity shouldn't diversify differentiate between people in distress by their place of residence. For instance, "Doctors without borders" is an international humanitarian-aid organization best known for it's (that's a deleted apostrophe, in case it is too small for you to see!) projects in war-torn regions and developing countries. They believe that all people have a right for to medical care and their needs outweigh respect for national borders. It's hard to argue with this position,; people can volunteer their money and time for anything they consider important.0 votedJuly 13, 20161
