Theoretical and Practical skills
Practicing sport brings about many benefits in terms of health and self-confidence. Which begs raises the question: how can the governments incentivize fitness in schools?.
Firstly, an educational initiative , aimed at showing the positive effects of doing sport activities, might bring about the desired effect. Schools should introduce, beside In addition to a practical class of physical education, schools should have a theoretical one, where professional athletes and professors would explain teach students how to live a healthy lifestyle, explaining and explain its importance. Indeed, people who regularly practice sports benefit from more energy, and health, wake up revitalized, are more happy, and these effects are correlated with a better job performance. In addition, this initiative should introduce to the youth the negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle, and its association with obesity.
An alternative goal could be an improvement of the perception of sports. Contrary to the popular view conveyed by American movies, where athletes are the most popular in the school, the reality is that many teenagers claim that sports are not cool. This result might be obtaining introducing a greater variety of sports. When students have the choice to try something new, they would inevitably might feel more incentivized, or at least curious to pursue a more active lifestyle, or at least more curious about it.
In my opinion, an educational initiative would be the most viable starting point. In the future, fitness influencers could be employed with the purpose of promoting sports as they are the most effective means. In fact, influencers are recognized as important figures in our fast-paced society, thus, why not exploiting them?.Your English is very good! A lot of my corrections were not because of actual mistakes, but were rather to help you sound more natural.
"Begs the question" is actually a term from logic which means that someone made an argument in which one of their premises is or depends upon the very conclusion which they are trying to reach! In other words, a circular argument. So it's not right to use it to mean raising a question...However, a lot of native speakers make this same mistake!

Among the different types of holidays, I prefer ones that are relaxing rather than active because, during my holiday I prefer staying at home and relaxing because I can stop worrying about everyday problems. Despite my preference, I approve of the decision of people who prefer active and adventurous holidays over relaxing ones, because they might find adventerous holidays more relaxing.
When I was a child, my family and I used to go to Isola del Giglio, but when I grew up we started to visit foreign cities. During such trips, we like to do guided tours and visit a lot of landmarks, (which are tourists traps in most cases). But because my sister doesn't like such things, we also go to street shops. We took this type of vacation when we went to Lithuania this summer. A really beautiful place!
I don't have a favorite holiday. In fact, I like both summer and Christmas holidays.
I really am especially fond of the second type, because it is an occasion for us all to spend time together.

You can might think that is always true that when if you spend few only a small amount of money, you are sure to get a good deal. Actually it’s not always true, in fact we can say that it’s very probable that if you buy something very expensive, you will get something good. Of course, if tomorrow the opposite were true - and it’s very improbable- nobody would spend a lot of money. By the way if I had thought that before - it’s too late now- I would have done less made fewer mistakes in my business.0 votedMay 20, 20180Dear Friend 1
A. Hello Tom, how are you doing.

A. What kind of consultation?

Yesterday, as happens every 5 years except for during extraordinary cases circumstances, the national election took place in Italy and, as usual, there is no clear winner.
ItThis might seem to contradict what I have just written but in the to be more specific, I have to say that there are winners, two in particular, and one big loser.
In fact, yesterday's the first main winner of yesterday surely is is surely the 5 Star Movement which got more or less about 32% of the votes therefore achieving which was a very good result considering that it didn't ally with any other party unlike the North League, the second winner of the election, which was a member of a broad coalition formed by two other parties, Forza Italia led by Silvio Berlusconi and Italian Brothers led by the woman Giorgia Meloni.
In particular, the votes of the three parties forming the coalition have to be summed up compared with each other while the only party of the coalition who is which was supposed to take the lead is was the one which got more votes than the others. among the three.
I opened this article by saying that there isn't a real winner since in order to govern Italy a party or a coalition needs at least 40% of the votes and neither the 5 Star Movement nor the Centre-Right coalition achieved that goal. This situation therefore opening opens the way to possible alliances among the parties in the next weeks or to a situation of immobility until a new electoral law will be is made.
The only clear loser is the Democratic Party led by Matteo Renzi which got less than 20% of the votes, which is probably achieving one of the worst records of the last decades considering that the party was the leading one in the last few years.
I don't really know what the next weeks will reveal to us in terms of political governance also because especially as I am far away too far removed to be considered an expert of the subject.0 votedMay 20, 20180My experience on italki
It's I stumbled on italki when I was looking for new ways to improve my foreign language skills. I got interested in it and I decided to give it a chance but, surprisingly to me to my surprise, I realized found I had already subscribed on to italki in 2016. I had completely forgotten about it.
Anyway, my mere initial goal on italki was to practice my English speaking skills because I thought that my conversational skills were lagging behind compared to other areas of the language such as listening or reading.
Therefore, I started taking lessons with native English community tutors,. I found it helpful but at the same time I didn't want to spend money on it.
Being Italian, I decided to become an Italian community tutor, so that I uploaded my video talking about myself and other random stuff.
To be honest, I didn't really expect any students to book lessons with me, and that's what actually happened: for the first month since I didn't receive any lesson requests.
This trend changed in December when one afternoon I got a notification sound on my phone I was not used to hear, I therefore checked it and here it there was my first lesson request! ( Thank you Carlos). I was very excited because it was the first time that I gave had given an Italian lesson,--I am not a teacher at all!
But at the same time, I was happy to talk with foreign people and hopefully help them in learning Italian. (you could also say "to learn)
Since then my activity as a community tutor slowly increased and now I have more than ten students from all around the world who are learning Italian!
I am very excited about it because I can talk with people from China, Brazil, Poland and many other countries far from my home and share thoughts and conversations with them.
I am still taking English lessons as I intended to, meant to be and I am also planning to start Spanish lessons quite soon but I am already very satisfied about how with what my presence experience on italki has turned to be so far.0 votedMay 20, 20180Train's strike
Today there has been was a train driver's strike and I had been was quite impacted by it since I take the train every day to go to the university.
The bizarre thing is that I hadn't heard anything about it until this morning when I woke up. Usually, in these kinds of events, the service is still guaranteed in those hours when people commute to work but my first lesson was at 10,30 in the morning so I didn't get to the train on time.
Due to this reason, (Or, "for this reason,) I had to do make a crazy trip in order to reach my university. I usually spend 15 minutes by train in order to go there but today it took me 1 hour and a half. ("in order" was not wrong, but it sounds more natural to leave it out).
But the worst came to the worst things came to a head (or "the worst was") when I had to come home in the afternoon,. Indeed, tons of people were waiting for the first train available after the strike so that everyone in the crowd was pressed against each other.
The head person of the train urged us to get off the train because there were so many people on it and it was dangerous to face go on a trip in a situation like that.
A lot of people were complaining all the time non-stop during the trip because there were too much many of us, but honestly I don't understand these kinds of complaints, I find it useless to complain about something you can't control such as a situation like that.
Anyway, I finally reached arrived home (or "reached my home") and I'm writing this piece of article right now :D0 votedMay 20, 20180
