Do movies and television have negative effects on the way young people behave?(from TOEFL)
Movies and television is are more and more popular among people, including children. Some people believe that such media has the a positive effect on the young people's behavior. However, I think that these media negatively affect children's behavior.
First, movies and television can spoil the our sense of justice. Some movies describe the evil actions, such as murder, as a good behavior. Of course, such describe description/portrayal is only for the movie's story. Adults can distinguish between the movie story and actual behavior. But, as children has have a poor sense of justice, they might think the movie's plot is right in the actual world. Some children commit crime imitating the a character in the movies. As this example illustrates, movies and television affect the our sense of justice.
Second, movies and television provide the children with the perspectives from of only the director or writer. Such media is just a products by of particular people's imaginations. Of course, some TV drama teaches us the way to solve the problems of human's relationships. But it is not always the solution in the actual world. The solution might cause more serious problems. This example shows that movies and television provide the children with the perspectives of only the director or writer.
In conclusion, I think that these media negatively affect children's behavior.0 votedDecember 11, 20183Second composition

Dear Jack,

Anyway In fact, I wish hope I will have become a Flight Attendant Supervisor or Flight Attendant Trainer because of my passion for teaching. Furthermore, I will have got (better = finished/completed) a short master in "Tourism Management and Hospitality" to learn how to take care of passengers better than I could do can now.
What do you think about my plans? Let me know soon.
Lots of love,

Hello, friends!
Last week I read an some advice about how to improve language skills. They recommended keeping to keep a diary. Then I found this site and so I'm going to write small short stories.
I study English and I could help with the Russian language.
I will be grateful for the corrections of my texts.0 votedOctober 16, 20183Practice Writing Today
I bought a beer at the mart near my home yesterday.
Even though I'm already 26 years old, a the cashier required my identification card (ID).
Fortunately, I had my ID card, so I could smoothly(easily) buy a the beer after identified having my ID checked
----------------
please fix my sentences commonly. Thank youYou don't need to say "card", everyone understands what you mean when you say "the cashier wanted to see my ID".
Also, did you only buy one beer?? You said "a beer". Or was it "some beers"? "A six pack (of beers)"?
0 votedOctober 15, 20183Are these common ways to use in everyday conversation?
I am not quiet too sure of how we actually use the word account in conversations. Or are there any other ways to say things like this?
It's of no account to me whether he comes or not.
This is not a phrase I would use or have ever used. Perhaps it's American English. I would say, "It's of no importance/interest to me...", "I don´t care..."By all accounts, San Francisco is a city that's easy to fall in love with.
This could mean, "in every way", "everyone agrees that"He kept a detailed account of the suspect's movements.
This means, he kept "a record" or "notes about"He doesn't drink alcohol on account of his poor health.
This means, "because of", "due to"They're just sort of opinion pieces. Some of them are based on longer reported pieces based on.
I also don't know how to use the world piece in conversations Can anyone explain it to me when it comes to spoken English?
"piece" can be several things. It depends on the context.
it often refers to a part of something (a piece of cake, a piece of pie, a piece of the puzzle)
it can be a synonym for a sheet of paper or card (a piece of paper)
it can be a synonym for a musical composition (a piece of music)
or an article, as you used above, (I'm writing a new piece about the history of Portugal)I hope some of that helps. Words frequently have many meanings and can trick you sometimes. Context is the key to understanding the majority of them.

Today is Wednesday and on Monday I'll finish my holidays, so I'm going to spend my last days before returning to work enjoying how awesome have been these holidays have been and planning the my goals for the next scholar school/academic year. I expect it will be awesome too.
It's time to think about the time I'll invest in learning something new, and how I'll try to manage to work out more and enhance achieve/create a healthy lifestyle. Besides this, one of the top priorities will be to have a lot of fun and, why not, waste some time doing nothing. I think that's the best way do not to get stressed.
I hope you also enjoyed your holidays like me and I wish you a cheerful return back to work.
Best wishes. Salvador.0 votedAugust 29, 20182
