- Mon avenir Dans mon avenir, je voudrais vivre dans d'autres pays. Au moins pendant un ou deux années. Mon premier choix serait la France, bien sûr, pour améliorer mon français et voyager autour d'Europe facilement. Mais, mon copain ne parle pas français, donc nous allons probablement habiter déménager à Londres ou un autre ville en Angleterre. C'est plus de facile pour moi obtenir un visa là, et je pourrais voyager en France facilement. Nouvelle-Zélande est très loin de plus de pays et on a besoin de beaucoup d'argent voyager n'importe où. C'est un beau pays, mais je voudrais voyager autour du monde! Avez-vous voyagé en Nouvelle-Zélande?March 27, 201800
English as a subject
I would like to talk about English as a subject at school. I am have been learning English for about 5 years now but I don't think that I can speak it fluently and without any mistakes. That is the problem of English as a subject at school. We learn a lot of things about globalisation or the life in the USA and UK, but we can't talk about the normal everyday life with an English speaking person. I would like to improve my English and learn new vocabulary besides the lessons, because I wanna travel to the USA and to the UK or other countries someday.---
Your English is very good :)
In New Zealand, we are not made to learn a language at school, so most people only speak English. I wish we had to take a language as a school subject, then I would be a lot further ahead than I am now! But I do agree that in classes we don't learn enough about how to have a casual conversation, it is more just about grammar and writing. You could maybe try the app called Memrise, I have found it very helpful for learning new vocabulary in French.
Best of luck in your studies!

Today I had a day off, so I spent the time relaxing. I read a famous Japanese mystery book which was very exciting, I enjoyed reading it a lot. Time flies quickly when you're having fun! I also studied English a little bit and learned the new words "influence" and "effect", however I could not understand the difference between them.
Answer:
The words "influence" and "effect" are synonyms (mean the same thing) and can generally be used interchangeably. However, the word "effect" can also be used when talking about "special effects", for example when CGI is used in films.

A: "You can/may." You wouldn't say "You could" or "You might" as it sounds like an uncertain answer. May = something possible/factual Might = something hypothetical/slightly possible This is quite a good explanation: https://writingexplained.org/may-vs-might-difference0 votedFebruary 23, 20180
- All of those sentences technically make sense and I have seen them used, however I think “I write my own history/story” would most commonly be used. "Make" is also used with history, an example being "We're making history" which would mean that we are doing something important/significant that will be talked about in the future. As for the quote, it means that the students “took control” of their story, so they are sharing their personal experience rather than have other people (their school, the news, or spokespeople) speak for them. Does this make sense?0 votedFebruary 23, 20180
language learning
From my point of view, the native language learning is a process that occurs most part of the time automatically in our brain over the years. Whereas with a foreign language, you are not in touch with the language all the time. This process become harsher is more difficult and that's why I think the most important method is without doubt, to practice.0 votedFebruary 23, 20180Differences between Rio and São Paulo
I moved from Rio to São Paulo almost two years ago to have a new experience in my life.The differences between these two cities are big. (Can I use this adjective? "Big") -- This sentence would be understood, but to be more correct you could say "There are a lot of differences between these two cities."
I love São Paulo in many topics ways but I miss other things like the beach and the music.
This differences are felt during the weekdays because Sampa is a city moved to work. -- You could say "inspired to work."
Some advantages that Sampa have and Rio don't are that everything here works. Like the subway works, the city buses works, also the services works. -- I would change this sentence to "An advantage that Sampa has but Rio doesn't is that everything here works. For example the subway, city buses, and other services work."
And in Rio don't! People are lazy there. -- "In Rio, they don't! People are lazy there."
So my life here is more comfortable and less adventurous.
Also I miss the African heritage that Rio have has in its spirituality and in the music.
For me, Sampa is western and Rio is eastern.
I miss the beach but it is amazing to live in a vibrant and lively concrete jungle!0 votedFebruary 23, 20181- Je me présente! Salut! Je m'appelle Madeleine et je suis une débutante à italki.
