Risk taker or risk avoider?
Surprisingly ,I have never thought whether I am a risk taker or risk avoider. But, this week, in my English, class we studied a lesson talking about living in a fast line or playing it safe. By answering some questions we answered, we could find out what personality we have. About myself, I discovered that I am a risk avoider most of the time and could become a risk taker just in specific situations. I am really a risk avoider when in comes to sports, activities, my appearance and with relationships. However, I am a risk taker when it comes tosometimes with my health, shopping, being on the road, (depending on the case) traveling, and work and studies. It is funny to think that at first, when the teacher asked me about my personality, I said I was certainly a risk avoider; I totally consider myself fearful. However, after the questions, I realized that I am somewherein the middle. I guess It is impossible for someone to be 100% one or the other; sometimes you might be flexible. Honestly, I believe I am fearful and most of the times a risk avoider but I take a place of ta risk taker in exception situations.
I only take a risk if I know I can be safe somehow.
I am crossing out the last 2 sentences since I think you stated this cocept strongly enough already, and there's no need to repeat. Godod luck!0 votedNovember 11, 20170It's very cynical to even suggest that a teacher wouldn't abuse you for financial gain. They don't abuse you out of kindness, because teaching is about helping others and not about being agressively critical over the very shortcomings they come to you to improve on.
I don't teach here, but I've tought for some 12 years live and I can assure you I would have not been able to work with someone with this sort of attitude. You should't teach those who don't want to be taugh, no matter what they say.
0 votedNovember 9, 20170- Nadie is more accurate since it encompasses both genders, though both are possible here. Ifyou say "ninguno me quiere" you're implying men and it does sound colloquial. Also, "ningun/o/a/os/as" is an adjective, hence used to affect nouns suchs as "En ningun lugar me siento como en casa", or "ninguna de tus excusas me sirven". Nadie is a pronoun and needs to be accompanied (not necessarily followed) by a verb. "Aqui no hay nadie", "Nadie sabe de que trabaja" Cheers!0 votedNovember 9, 20170
English in Brazil
Hello!
I'm from Brazil and I'll tell you how our second language system works.
In Brazil, by and large, we really don't care so much about a second language.
We know that it's an important thing but most of our schools don't take it too seriously.
Of course, we have second language classes (in some schools the student can choose between Spanish or English classes and some in schools there are only English classes) but in most cases these are't good classes at all.
For example, in my school, we only had English classes for one hour once a week. And for sure, that isn't enough. The class was very easy and we considered it as a relaxing class.
So, if you really want to learn English you will have to go to an English Private School, where you only learn English. But that's not also a good thing either because the school is very expensive and the courses (most of them) take 5 years. That's a lot of time to learn a language, but I believe they do it to get more money from you.
By the way, I would like to have an opportunity to have good English classes in school so that I wouldn't need to go to English private schools and therefore wouldn't spend so much money.
PS: That is how it works for me and for most of the people who I know.
Are you from Brazil? Let us know if the same happens in your region!
Could you correct me if I wrote something wrong? I'd appreciate it a lot!
Thanks for reading it!Same in Argentina, although there are more and more pay Schools which are billingual or almost, and cost a fortune! Public education is terrible, unfortunatelly.
