My motivation
Let's is speak talk about a motivation.
It This is my story. I was on a cruise ship last summer. I got went from Novosibirsk to St. Peterburg. I сame went alone but my friend waited of for me there. She worked on a the ship and I was her guest. I am grateful to her for the opportunity to relax after many routine routine"s days in the office. I saw a lot of different towns and villages viliges. I fell in love with such places such as Yaroslavl and island Kizhi Kizhi Island, and a village called Mandrogi.
This vacation changed my life. I thought about my future.
I had finished my study studies in tourizm tourism but sadly I did not have a the career in this field because my English skills were really bad. I had english skills absolutely bad.I set myself a goal for myself to improve impruve my English, so that I can work on this ship as an administrator by spring for work on this ship as administrator until spring. Good luck to me. Wish me luck!
It's 1 February 1st now. I'm glad happy with my progress. I do not know if I can get the work job of my dreams or nor not but I just like to learn English very very much.
What is your do you have a motivation to advance your skills in a new language?Hi Valentina! I enjoyed reading your entry! Thank you! It sounds like you were really inspired by taking that cruise. That's awesome! Keep up the good work! Thank you, Teacher Liz.

The text explains four steps of school education in the US, including elementary, intermediate, secondary and high schools, and the numbers of years required in each.
The professor refers to the text but explains some problems he sees in this organisation, such as the differences in preparation for elementary school, difference in how students grow up, and difference in individual velocity of learning. The professor also explains the best ways to study or review material.
According to the first problem the professor notices, that some children attend kindergarten to be prepared for the school and some don't. From the latter group, some kids are preparing at home and some of them are not. All of this leads to the differences between children with different backgrounds.
The second problem that the professor supported was with the fact that depending on gender children become teens with different age and specific problems relating to their gender. This also causes differences in their behavior and ability to learn. are not the same.
The third point that the professor mentioned was that the system does not take the individual difference of each student into consideration. which also This plays a big role in education, because each student needs to take his or her time to learn the topic and in the way he or she understands the material the best. but However, at school everybody have has to learn with the common system.
There are three problems the Professor states in his lecture.Hi Anna! I enjoyed reading about these problems in education. Very informative! You have few grammatical mistakes. I changed some word ordering and broke up your sentences to help with the flow and make it sound more natural. Nice work!

I've been trying to be active these days. I prefer staying home or meeting up with only my close my friends, if anything.
However I realized how important meeting new people is. So if my friends invite me to a party, I'm trying to go join it as much as I can. We never don't know when a life-changing opportunity might arise. where there is a chance. (Should I say "What if there would be a chance to change y life?!")
I got a job at an international company a few days ago. I actually thought I couldn't make it when I saw the job advertisement for at the first time. I was like, "Am I good enough good to work at this company?" or "Is my English good is enough?". I applied for the job just in case, though. When I applied for it, I thought "If they would called me for to take an interview, it would be have been a miracle!".
I didn't feel was not confident about to joining the company, actually. But I passed the interviews, and a test, and in the end I finally got an offer from the company.
I took had three the interviews 3 times and they were all in English there were English interviews except the first one.
I was nervous, but I knew I didn't have anything was kinda nothing to loose. I mean, I just tried to communicate with them and talked about told what I've done so far and what I could can do for them if I joined the company them. I didn't think about making mistakes such as grammar or pronunciation. I just focused on what I wanted to tell them.
I'm really glad to have joined the company.0 votedJune 4, 20171Sport in school
What do I see when I browse my facebook or instagram? The answer is very obvious - thousands of photos of fitness models, healthy dishes and gym tips. I've been promoting healthy (or fit, whatever) lifestyle for almost 2 two years (I'm 17, so for me 2 two years equals forever). In spite of my love for every single fitness propagator, I must admit that many of them make it seem like show as if the only way to be agile is doing exercise with their CD's, and alternatively drinking protein shakes in an expensive Nike bottle.
I don't judge them, but, please, don't call yourself a 'fitness consultant' if you're just a good entrepreneur. I strongly believe thet that everyone can fall in love with sport. Many of us already have, and those who haven't, don't really know what sport actually is. already done it and I think that this obstructive rest doesn't
As I said, doing squads squats is not the only way to be 'FIT" "fit", even if it's the biggest part of your PE lesson. Probably you'll warm to sweat over time, but on at the very beginning it is necessary to find the right sport for you. Are you fond of playing volleyball? Join a local club! Do you dream about windsurfing? Find a course! Do you like doing burpees? I don't beliece believe you, nobody likes burpees.
The very meaning The most important thing is to do what you really want to do. People should know that feeling pleasure is not the opposite to of burning calories.
School should help us. We need interesting lessons - not just interesting for the majority, but interesting for every individual person. Students should be able to develop his or her skills and, primarily, interests. I believe we must stop wondering what we can do in order to bring students around to sport. Everyone likes some kind of although a few sports (even if he/she doesn't know it yet hasn't known it yet), but on in PE lessons they've got to play volleyball all the time.
To sum everything up, if we want to show students that sport is cool and make them interested in it, we don't have to buy more equipment or build new pitches - we have to change uor our mentality, our approach.
Thank you for reading! I know, it's long and I am so grateful :)Hi Ania,
Great job! I enjoyed reading your entry. Keep up the great work!
Best,
Liz

29 - Computer and Internet I suggest a different title, something that reflects the value of computers and the Internet. Perhaps:
The importance of computers and the Internet
Computer and Internet are both the main tools used to make administrative activities regardless of business area or private area.

The dependency of the Internet is spreading throughout our society quickly, and sometimes facilities of using this one causing addiction, which and could be get out of control.
The big thing for using computer and internet are the endless ways to learning about everything.

These technologies can help narrow differences between social status, allowing people to dream and achieve their goals.
**I wouldn't end a professional article with "best regards", this is more appropriate for a letter or message.

Reading is perhaps my favorite hobby. I have other hobbies, such as computer games and biking, but I much prefer to read a novel or a scientific book. I really don't know what I would do if I didn't have any books on my desk. When I was a child, there was a medium-sized bookshelf in my living room in which I found several interesting books that I used to read.
Somehow, in university, I didn't uphold the reading habit. Maybe I was too busy to care about it, but still I missed the enjoyment of reading. Later on, when I started to work, I longed to read novels because I had plenty of time in the afternoons and I needed something to kill time. I remember that I went downtown, which is the best place to find cheap and unfindable(?) books, and bought my first ones. I started with local writers, like Mario Vargas Llosa or Julio Ramon Ribeyro; and then, I moved to international writers, like William Faulkner, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, or Fedor Dostoviestky, to name a few. Personally, I found the style of Roberto Bolaño, a Chilean writer, very appealing. His best book by far is "2666", an extensive but enjoyable novel.
However, I didn't buy a bookshelf for my books because I'm living temporarily in a place, so it's not a good idea to take my books everywhere. In the meanwhile, I left my books at my mom's, sealed in several big boxes that I plan on opening sooner or later.0 votedMay 9, 20172An intense and fun weekend in São Paulo city.
Last weekend my girlfriend and I flew to São Paulo because I had an appointment. We took an airplane on Friday night and we got there at about 1:00 am. I have Family in São Paulo, so I took the opportunity to visit them as well. I’ve been in São Paulo a couple of times and I really enjoy being there. My appointment was on Saturday afternoon at 1:20 pm and it didn’t take too long. Afterwards, my cousin came to get us with his car. We went to my aunt’s house. After being there for awhile, we left to visit my cousin, because she had a baby recently. I still hadn't met her two daughters yet. After we caught up, we went back to my aunt's house.We chilled out for awhile and then later that night we went to a Samba in a neighborhood called Vila Madalena. It's a really nice neighborhood because there are loads of bars that are all really close by. You can choose the one you think is best. There are bars that play any type of music that you can imagine.0 votedMay 9, 20173
