I am currently learning Mandarin Chinese and would like a partner to practice speaking with. I love travelling and outdoor sports. I currently live in Switzerland but I am originally from Ireland, and I have also lived in France, Austria and Brazil. Feel free to get in touch if you would like to practice English conversation with me and help me with my Chinese :)

    In Ireland we only 'have' to do 12 lessons with an instructor but in reality you need more. You're expected to do 30+ hours of driving with your parents too. The test is a joke, only 40% of people pass in Dublin test centres and you can be waiting months for a test date. It's not as complicated as France, or even close to as expensive, maybe around €800 or more if you have to repeat your test/take more lessons.

    Reorganize is US English

    Reorganise is UK English

    Both are correct, it depends on whether you prefer to learn American or British English spellings. There is no difference in pronunciation. There are lots of words like this that differ in spelling, such as realise/realize, colour/color, etc.

    Note: I don't know what a "3º shift" is.

    Part 5:

    In conclusion, being mature is a good way for teenagers to think about (what is the) their individual responsibility, and (the) adults should help them out to act (their right) as (a) adults. 


    Apologies, the character count was too high to post as one comment. I would recommend posting a "Notebook Entry" in future as it is easier to correct :)

    However, there are some negative viewpoints such as (it is) that even though they earn money by themselves, (how can they take) they cannot take a responsibility or even that it might lead to (the) declining social morality.

    It is not only an advantage for them (advantage) but also (it makes some good point) for the government. For example, (the) tax revenue will be increased, and young people’s opinions will be reflected in politics. These are one of the most important (effects) developments in (japan) Japan now.

    Part 2:

    For example, (the) commercial high school students (getting) (who are/can be) employed after high school graduation could get (the) a job more easily. Since they are finding jobs anyway, (if they can have social rights that is more responsible) having social rights by being recognized as (an) adults(,) (it should) would be (good benefit) beneficial for them.

    Part 1:

    Recently, the Japanese government approved the a bill for which the age of becoming an adult in Japan was changed to 18-year-old 18 years old. In my opinion, it is a good thing for the people who needs need to work in those at that age.

    How is encouragement important to you?

    A writer named Cora Coralina said "I know that nothing that we have lived makes sense, if we don't touch the heart's person people's hearts!"
    I was 21 years old (today I am 36) and in my first year of university. I didn't know many people and I had just some friends.
    I was studying Financial math and this subject is not easy.. not at all, by the way.
    At this time, my financial life was not good and my family and I didn't have money to buy a financial calculator HP and I studied using a scientific calculator.
    The teacher said "whoever don't  doesn't have the HP will not get pass in the exam". This teacher was not friendly. Actually he was sometimes rude and people didn't like him.
    I was honestly stayed afraid, because I didn't have the HP calculator, the subject was more complicated day by day and I wasn't going doing well.
    I decided give up. I decided to go out from drop out of this subject. I talked to a friend and he she didn't agree with my decision.
    I was afraid, I was not confident and I was sure that I would not pass in the exam.
    This friend called Vivian was essencial essential in my life and in this moment, because her friendship and her encouragement helped me to gain power to going get through this situation.
    It was not easy, I need to confess.
    Many times, I got up at 5, arrived in at my job at almost 6:30, studied until 7:40 and started working at 8.
    In my first exam I got the maximun maximum grade, in the second exam I got the a lower (or "the lowest") grade (when the calculations got more difficult and complex) but in the last exam I got the maximum grade and I got it!
    My friend's encouragement was essential and I am grateful for her until today!
    Being a friend when everything is ok is very easy, but true friends really exist when they touch our hearts forever.

    Presentation

    Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Maureen and today I'm going to give a short presentation on 'A look into the future: Life in 2120'. So first, let me ask you a question. What is the first thought that comes to your mind when talking about life in 2120? A flying car? A human-brain robot? Or even a talking plant? Wow, that sounds fascinating, doesn't it? Let's have a look at this poster, as you can see, I've collected a few ideas on this topic. First and foremost, I'm convinced that our travel time would be shortened when travelling by plane. People may be able to travel from America to Singapore in just a couple of hours instead of a long-haul flight. As the technology has been developed rapidly, I strongly believe that this will happen in our future. Let's now move on to our education life in the future. In the old days, we were encouraged to study at school as the home study was not popular at that time. Nowadays people can learn and study at home through youtube and some educational websites. This makes our life easier and we don't have to pay expensive school fees. Personally, I think that people in the future won't even need to go to school, teachers could assign a timetable and we could study online through a video call. To conclude my presentation, I believe that our future life will be a lot better than now. I can see that our time is just about up so to finish I'd like to thank you for your time and attention today.


    Good luck with the presentation :)
