    I am speaking as a student here. I have always come to class prepared. It can be frustrating for the teacher if you don't make an effort to learn and use new material. One-on-one classes collapse, if the student doesn't put effort into the learning process. With a classroom of students, there are always enough dedicated students to make the learning process flow. In one-on-one, there is only one student that can respond to the teacher. These classes are such good opportunities to learn but the student has to put in plenty of effort. Learning a new language is not easy for most of us.

    Letter

    Dear Sir

    I contacted you to express my deep disappointment in relation to a recent article posted in your newspaper called "The Bike's Dictatorship".

    First of all, as we all know, traffic jams are becoming a real problem in my local city but, instead of blaming cyclists, you should acknowledge that due to the last ciclo(cycle?) paths built in the city, more than 40.000 people have replaced their cars with bikes. As a result of that, the city's air is less polluted and there are more parking spaces in the city.

    Some of the arguments in your post are valid, such as your contention that sometimes many bike users cause some nuisances to pedestrians. I also concur that they frequently break the law by ignoring traffic lights, but actually, not  all cyclists behave like that, and law enforcement is improving in recent years.

    According to your post, bikers should pay for specific insurance to assume eventual expenses in case someone is injured. As far as I am concerned, the vast majority of home insurances cover these types of accidents. Therefore, it seems to me that, if lawmakers decide to make additional insurance necessary, it is going to fail as it has in many countries such as Switzerland and Germany.

    Finally, from my own experience, the more a city invests in cyclo(cycle?) paths, the more health and welfare improve.  According to many experts, daily moderate exercise can reduce the risk of heart attacks and decrease the rate of obesity. In addition, the fact that better air quality decreases the need for expenditures for allergy treatments, we should invest more in ciclo(cycle?) paths rather than highways.  (<font style="background-color: yellow;">I am sorry that I made some major changes but in some instances I felt they improved the writing. In general, your writing was well developed and you presented your case in a logical manner. Very good! Most of the time it is better to break long sentences into two to help the reader comprehend without re-reading. Also, be careful of ambiguity. Sometimes it is not clear what "it" or other pronouns refer to. It is always good to set your writing aside for a little while before sending it. Errors sometime become apparent after reading again. Best regards in your future writing. I feel that writing really helps one add vocabulary and learn grammar at a deeper level.)</font>

    Best regards,

    Please, correct the mistakes or make the relevant corrections in order to make my mail more formal

    Dear XXXX,
     I am in the process of seeking employment in Malta.  I was invited to an interview for the" Operations officer" position in one of the international companies in Malta on the 30th of January. I would like to ask whether you could provide me with a reference letter?  Since you don't have enough information  to give me a reference, I have attached a copy of my resume.
    As it is quite difficult to be invited to the interview by the companies that help to provide work permits for non-EU citizens, I would really appreciate a positive reference from you that will increase my employability. I need to have my references ready to submit by 11AM on January 30,

    Sincerely,
    Aygul Ibrahimova

    My Motivation To Study



        The problem of self-development is one of the most interesting issues throughout the history of mankind. What stimulates exploring new areas, reading  new books and drawing new pictures? Are all people interested in increasing their level of development or only those who are able to overcome everyday chores and routines?
        I think that there are two main reasons that stimulate improvement. The first is to have a career or educational development goal. This is a good reasons to begin to learn something at any age. This motivation can help us learn something even when we are not really interested in it. For example, I like studying languages but I hate history. I’m actually not keen on different dates and names. But to enter the university I must overcome my reluctances and pass the exam. That’s the reason I’m sure I can study any subject, but if I don’t reinforce it for some time, I’ll forget it easily.
        The second reason is, if I'm fond of learning foreign languages, I’ll try to work with it not only for career but as hobby in my spare time. I’ll take any opportunity to concentrate on this subject. I’ll do my best to remember as much as I can.
    That’s why I always ask my students to have a hobby to make their lives and minds brighter because every part of our life can give us  information about the whole universe. It doesn’t matter what you’re interested in: tea ceremony, music, hip-hop or reading only detective stories.  It will enrich your vocabulary, widen your horizons and make you a more interesting companion.

    From This Moment On from Shania Twain

    I've listened to this song for many years because I like it. When I listen to  the song, I remember my youngest niece. The first time I saw her small and beautiful eyes I felt a special connection with her. So, as long as I live I will love her as the song said says. Wherever I be am or wherever she be is, I'm sending to her a lot of  light. I've been blessed from the moment she was born. She is one of the reasons I believe in love. I’m I agree with all the lyrics of this song. In my opinion Shania Twain also has also an amazing voice and the  her music is melodic.

    My last day with 27

    Tomorrow (25th April) it is my birthday.

    This is my second birthday far from my family and friends. Last year I moved to Bariloche, a beatifull place about 1500 kilometros from Buenos Aires, my birthplace. It was a very different birthday for me because I did not have my mum's hugs and I could not take drinks with my friends. However, I enjoyed the day with my boyfriend in the sima(?) of the Cerro Catedral, a very big mountain. It was a magic day because we had the first snow of the year!

    And now, I am living in Tandil - 360 km from Buenos Aires.  I am close to my family but I don't think I will see them often (?).
    Sometimes it isn't easy to  live far from your people.

    Thank you

    Travelling to an unknown place. Part II

    After our great first experience in Atacama Desert, we decided to cross the Andes Mountain to reach Bolivia. Our idea was to travel by train but unfortunately the train station was closed so we got two tickets to Uyuni. To our surprise the bus was really old and uncomfortable, but the worse thing happened when we were travelling. The driver drove so very fast without any precaution. We barely could sleep that day... and most of the time my friend and I spend the time looking at each other..
    When we arrived at the Chilean/ Bolivian border, we realized that we were in striking distance of our destination. (??)  strike. To be honest, I felt really lucky because if had stay in that bus, I would have probably died in an accident..
    The other option was to walk from the Chilean office to the Bolivian office. My dear friend was so excited crossing in the middle of the desert... on the other hand there were many families doing the same thing, so we helped them carry some heavy bags and little children.
    It seemed so natural for them to travel in bad and unsecured conditions. Nobody complained , argued or discussed the situation.
    Finally after 3 hours of walking with our big rucksack, we arrived at the Bolivian office and there was an another bus (in the same condition as the last one) waiting for us.
    Really I don't how I could survive such a dark experience. I remember that the bus didn't have a toilet so every three hours the driver stopped and left us go out for a walk and use the natural environment as a toilet.
