How could science could be more appealing to young people?
For ages, science has been is considered as a significant and still developing branch of knowledge which could and can make big revolutions in the 21st century because of new discoveries. Currently, there is a problem that young people are not so interested in science, because and they regard it as a challenging and hard discipline which requires logical thinking. Nevertheless, there are many solutions to make science how science could be more appealing to teenagers.
One of the ways is are making television programmes about scientific issues which can encourage young people to learn more about science in a pleasant and entertaining way. Some good examples are channels like “Animal Planet” or “Discovery Channel” which show practical and real things about how the world works. Moreover, they use an appropriate vocabulary and youth shouldn’t feel discouraged by of it. Not only TV show but also Modern museums are also suitable solutions. Thanks to them, people can feel really close to scientific issues, for example to the biological world of animals. Apart from it, they organize various workshops where young people can learn from the best scientists and work in groups. There is no doubt that the educational system has a huge influence on young people. Teachers usually focus on immense in theoretical issues instead of showing something in by practice. It can could be more understandable for youth. if they should work in laboratories, using special devices instead of focusing mainly on books. Living in the world of social media allows us to use the Internet as a source of scientific information. The main example is “YouTube” website and some special channels. In these the short films, people don’t talk about science all the time, but they show practical things in a simple and original way.
To conclude, science plays makes an important role in youth’s life and should be taught in an easy way to understand way. Doubtless, the best solution is to see science on our own eyes e.g f.g in laboratories or in the natural environment.0 votedApril 23, 20171Please check my two little texts
When I last spoke to Lucas last time he told me that he wanted to sell his bike so he could buy a new one. And I remember you told me that you wanted to buy a bike. So why don't you ask Lucas if maybe you could buy his bike?
After the house party homeparty someone left an a mp3 player in at my kitchen. Later my cousin Thalia asked me if I saw her mp3 player. I told her that I found it. She was so happy and asked ask me when she could take it back because she couldn't live without music.0 votedApril 23, 20171Hi Ana. I really liked your story.

A brief essay about my experience in the Czech Republic and life.
Two years ago I decided to study the last year of my Education Degree in the Czech Republic as an Erasmus student. I would be lying if I told you guys that it wasn't the most relevant period of my life because it was. Even now not a day goes by where I don't remember that year.
I was able to travel all around Europe, meet some new people, live alone (actually it was the first time, I've never cohabited before without my parents and sister), be introduced in two different languages (czech, which is impossible, and english)...
BuT actually, for some time from now, I realize that the best of that experience it was not to have less homework or be able to planificate one trip after another one. The gift of that experience was the hardest times I experienced there. Because of them I had the opportunity to know how to take care of myself better (and first of other people) and to realise what are my aspirations, moral and values are in life. Getting out of my comfort zone helped me!! Nowadays I am still working on them every single day. "Dream big", it is usually to say " The sky is the limit"
Ps: Here i attached a picture I took/taken by me. It was during my trip to the Gdansk port (Poland). I sneaked into a weeding lovely wedding photoshoot. They didn't even realize they will be famous on social media at all! hahah0 votedNovember 7, 20161- To 'do your bit' is to make the amount of work and effort expected of you, when you are part of a team or there are multiple people required to complete a task. The author here is saying that the French government think they have done all that is required of them, and are saying that it is others' turn to do the same.0 votedNovember 1, 20161
Forgetting Things, Being Happy
OR
Forget Things, Being Happy
I think God might have made a mistake when he was creating me.
There're something wrong with my brain and memories.
I forget things so easily and very often. I forget where I put my glasses on, when was my appointment was, or even who was I was just talking to on the phone. My sister once said that I didn't have a human brain, but a goldfish's. During most of the my/our family reunion, I usually remained silent when they talked about the past. Of course, because I couldn't remember them it, or sometimes I do but with some distorted details, which I don't know where they came from. I don't want to share those (any) wrong information.
I'm this forgetful. But don't get me wrong. I'm not unhappy. At all.
The advantage of being forgetful is that you can erase bad memories or get rid of any bad feelings easier than it seems to should be. Sometimes during the a fight with my boyfriend, I just ridiculously forgot what we were arguing about. We laughed and be are happy again. Weird but pleasant.
I love my pea brain.~~~
Good job, I liked it! Any questions, just ask. :)

I would use 'thought', 'thinks' would maybe work better if the original clause was in the present perfect (he has decided...). I have to ask what you mean by 'fill up the gaps'. That part doesn't make sense.0 votedOctober 28, 20162
Should I give up?
Today, I made a hard decision which has bothered me for almost one and a half months. I gave up an opportunity to go to the University of California, Santa Barbara for one semester of study (about 76 days). I intended to take this chance to experience foreign culture and especially practices my spoken English. However, I have a lot of other stuff to tackle, like preparing for my graduate dissertation and next year's civil service selection examination. Meanwhile, I am afraid 76 days are too short for me to improve my English. After considering it, I decided to give up this opportunity and focus on my destination and the coming examination. Dose Is this decision right? Would Will I regret for it?~~~
Almost perfect, and always understandable. Great job!
