The best way to overcome the challenge of interpreting spoken English is to practice and be fully immersed in an environment with English speakers as much as possible. While we have pointed out many of the challenges in learning the English languages, there are some aspects that make it easier. For example, nouns have no gender in the English language. There are only three basic tenses: the past, the present, and the future. That simplifies things a bit! While you may not learn to speak English fluently overnight, the important thing is that you don’t give up. Learning English can be an exciti

Upload pictures Make comments on 3 of your classmates’ posts + a comment on your teacher's post Word Count: 220 words     One of the easiest and most practical ways to time travel into the far future is to go really fast. According to Einstein’s theory of special relativity, when you travel at speeds approaching the speed of light, time slows down for you relative to the outside world. Well, if I had the possibility to time travel, I would like to visit the past, ancient times, biblical times, XIII century BC. The idea is to know how the Israeli people left Egypt through the Red Sea and how the pyramids were built. It would be interesting to know the way they lived and how they were discovering issues that are in use nowadays. I am not sure if I would prefer to be an Israeli or an Egypti

I know that interpreters have opportunities to visit different countries and continents. It attracts me, because I'll get acquainted with various peoples and I'll learn their customs, rituals and traditions. I think that an interpreter is a very useful profession, because it helps people to communicate. But of course if you want to be an interpreter, you will need definite qualification. At first you must know one foreign language at least. It's good, if you know English (the language of the plane

 Post 4. Dear students. This the topic is free but themed and the theme will be about your profession. -positive aspects -benefits -why you chose it, etc. -180 words Remember your comments Changing Lives and Caring Too Much Teaching is a profession where you really can make a difference in a child’s life, oftentimes profoundly. You are with children for a good part of the day, longer than their parents are, in most cases. Young children, especially, will look at you as a role model and repeat what you say and do. You often may help a teen struggling to figure out what career path to take. You could also be lucky enough to become the teacher everyone remembers as the one who cared enough to make a difference. However, making a difference in children's lives takes tremendous dedication and hard work. Teaching can be an exhausting job; physically, mentally and emotionally. You are with other people's children longer than you are with your own family. It is hard not to take the nee

Don't forget to leave a comment on the teacher's post + 3 of your classmates posts. - Word Count for post 4: 200 words My son’s kinesiology doctor is Argentinian and when she received my son he was only crawling with no hope of walking. Everybody told us that he would never walk. However, she said, "do you allow me to use all the necessary tools and methodology to help him? Do you promise not to cry when he may cry? Do you commit to be regular when exercising? "We decided to go ahead because the only thing he wanted was to walk. She helped him to be stronger and positive, to fight frustration and keep smiling no matter the pain or how tired he could be. The result?: After a couple of years, he finally started to walk by himself without anybody's help.    We have expressed our gratitude for all the effort and positive results. Some people have asked me: would you like your son to be like you? And I think: " My dear son, I
