Hi Kubra,
Firstly you should think carefully about which country you move to if you're concerned about adapting to a new place and a different culture. Maybe a multi-cultural country would be best so that you can always find some people or places that might be familiar to you.
I've moved to foreign countries twice; one vastly different to my own culture and lifestyle, and another very similar. Each has it's pros and cons. In each case, there are hard times and moments where you have to remain strong and keep your ambition even when you truly miss home.
You should think about your personality and your character, and ask yourself what your main priority is for relocating. Is it to experience something completely new to you? Earn more money? Are you a resilient person? Are you sensitive? These are all important questions you need to ask yourself before you make a decision.
If you are struggling to find a job overseas, you should get in contact with a recruiter who can outline your chances of getting work in your desired country and also put you in touch with organisations who are looking for candidates like yourself. You should also make sure that all of your paperwork is in line with immigration expectations and standards. I would recommend talking to an immigration lawyer to nip any future issues in the bud before you get going with the process.
Good luck! I hope you are successful!

Today I was thinking about why I'm learning English. To be realistic I'm learning English because different languages move the world. If you go on holiday to a different country maybe someone speaks English and if you want to work in another country you need to know English. For some reason, English is the principal language in the world. I would like to know about other languages that you think you need to travel or work in another country.0 votedSeptember 11, 20180- Learning Languages Through Film
Cinema is wonderful. I didn't realise that when I started my degree in Film & Television Studies, let alone think of it as an invaluable tool to learn language.
Much like reading, it improves your vocabulary with visual associations and enhances your pronunciation. It also fine tunes your ear to being more receptive to absorbing the words - your listening skills are being utilised and refined with each minute!
I find it a seriously engaging method for learning languages and would advise any student to watch as many films as they can. Resist the urge to pick up your cell phone or multitask while you watch. Let yourself get lost in the story and enjoy the language acquisition.
What can be even more fun is learning how to watch a film with a critical eye - being aware of cinematography and stylistic choices by the director and thinking about why they made those choices and how it enhances or detracts from the film.
If you would like to learn how to do this and open the doors to a super fun and creative way to improve your English, I offer a Film Study lesson! These are by far my favourite lessons to teach and my students have loved them so far. I learn so much with every film consumed and I am so excited for the next one, every time!
Do you think using film to learn languages is something you'd like to do?
September 8, 201872 How was your summer ?
My summer has been good. I usually have my vacation in May but this year I had it in August .
I spent a week at the beach and the rest of the holiday I travelled with my friend in Turkey . It was a unique country that extends over two continents - Europe and Asia. Life is very exciting there. It was my favourite holiday.This trip was the perfect way to wrap up the summer.
0 votedSeptember 7, 20181I want to go to Thailand in October.
I am going to a trip. That first country will be Thailand. My goal is to depart before November.
My plan is to go to Thailand first and then to India. I have about 3000 USD for the trip. I have to save money. So I have to stay in a cheap room. But I am going to spend a lot because I am going with my girlfriend. Because I'm going with her, I have to start saving money. That`s really important for my trip.Good luck!

I would recommend reading some other descriptive essays within the genre/time period/film movement to see how other writers made their words come alive. I think the task requires a little creativity! You might also want to focus on structure quite intensely. A word I always managed to throw into my film essays: visceral. Always fits for some reason!0 votedApril 19, 20181
