You have been asked to write a short **article** for your school magazine with the title: _My reasons for learning English_ Describe your reasons for learning English **and** explain why it is important to you. **Write your article.** | My reason for learning English is simply that I'd like to use it more freely. By using I mean speaking, listening, writing, reading. I've always been very close to English language, because I've always listened to a lot of music. Most of the songs were in English, so from the very young age I've been very connected with this language. Now, in the internet era it is comfortable to know English to use various sources in English, without being limited to sources in my own language. Despite my English is still under my desired level, I am able to watch films, programs or other footages and even though I don't understand everything I ejnoy watching them. Actually for me it is not learning English literally. It's a kind of a journey, and each new word that I get to know is an adventure. |
Many people believe that it is important to always tell the truth. In your opinion, is it ever acceptable to tell a lie? Explain your answer giving reasons and specific examples. | In contemporary society we are told to always seek for truth. It does not matter how hurtful this truth may be - most of the people would advice you to never lie, even when it would make a situation better. Is this really apply for real, everyday life? Let's find out. I like to recall one specific example - you are a nurse helping with an old couple - one of them is laying on a death bed, even though they are not really aware of it. What is the best to tell their significant other? They are already in pain and agony, why would you make the situation even worse? In this situation, and situations similiar to described, I think the best decision is to tell partial truth. You shouldn't pull them down by saying there is no hope, but convincing everything will be fine wouldn't be ethical too. But what about other examples - because for sure there are a lot of circumstances when it would be the best to just tell the truth (such as cheating or playing truant). My opinion is you should rethink everything and then decide alone, but remember - no lie can live forever. All things considered - the truth can be valuable and most of the times is, but you have to observe the whole situation and then calculate how much good for both sides there is. |
Many people believe that it is important to always tell the truth. In your opinion, is it ever acceptable to tell a lie? Explain your answer giving reasons and specific examples. | Attempting to reach higher moral ground has long been regarded as a hallmark of a modern, sensible human being. There is a grain of truth in this approach. What makes us truly humans, if we deprive ourselves of spirituality, moral challenges, and reliability? Is it really all about mere flesh and low-down human desires. Absolutely not. On the face of it it seems lthat truthfulness is a baseline for all successful human interactions, yet after close examination different aspects emerge. What if benefits of fibbing or even downright deception overhaul truthfulness? Let's take a closer look on a handful of instances, such as heartbreaking home truths, terminal illness, brutal truth of life or even a piece of apparently neutral information potentially capable of wrecking havoc and destabilise human lives. Yes, in order for a person to thrive it is permissible to omit, or bent the hash truth. It falls within the guidelines for a protection claims. A different approach entails going around the houses and trying to avoid the burning issues. Instead of a full-fledged statement or condemnation, a softer, blurred description of reality are used in order for the interlocutor not to feel threatened. Once in a while simply omitting a fact give rise to enhanced communication and boosts our interlocutor's self image and confidence. Words are precious but can be hurtful if used unwisely. |
Write about a holiday that you went on that was really important to you. Say where you went and what you saw, and explain why it was the best holiday you ever had. | Two years ago I was on my the best holiday ever. I went to the Maldives with my boyfrind. Actually, those holiday was a suprise for me. First, I had no idea where we were going. I finally knew our destination on the airport. I was really astonished, obviously. Those journey was really exciting. I couldn't believe what a magical place the Maldives was. A Clear, blue ocean and a soft sand. Those was the most magnificent place I have even seen. The time there was very intensive. We did a lot of wonderful things. Those was my first time when I saw a real dolphin. What's more, we had an opportunity to swim with those animals. It was icredible experience, indeed. We also saw many beautiful views, especially during sun sets. Those was unbelievable magical. We had another reason, why those holiday was special. My boyfriend aked me to merry him during our walk along the bay. Of course, it was so remarkable. To be honest, I started to cry, but of course I said yes. That was such a suprise fo me. I'm sure, I will remember those holiday forever. The best holidey in my life. |
Write about a holiday that you went on that was really important to you. Say where you went and what you saw, and explain why it was the best holiday you ever had. | Almost everyone associates holiday season with fun, making new friends and having the time of their lives. I agree with that associations wholeheartedly. When it comes to describe my best holiday ever, one specific trip pops up in my head. It was two years ago. I was 18 and it was one of my first holiday with my friends. We went to a Bulgaria as a group of 6 friends. Three of them was my best buddies, and there was 2 girls yet. We were having a great time there. We had a hotel within walking distance to the sea, and there was that marvellous vietnam restaurant on the way. We were making a stop there very often. But not only due to these entertainments it was my best holiday. During that trip, i got into a realationship with my old friend, Marta. That atmosphere of holiday carelessnes surely made it easier. That was my best trip, and holiday as well, ever. I found a love of my life, the one that i'm engage with now. We all have great memories from there and will be reminding that time probably for the rest of our lives. |
Is learning to speak a foreign language as important these days as it was in the past? Write an **essay** giving your opinion. | Recently the world has dramatically changed. Due to the globalization people started to be interested in other cultures. I think that learning to speak a foreign language in more important nowadays than in the past. First of all, thanks to the techological development travelling has become so much easier. If we want to communicate with other people while being abroad we have to be able to speak in a language which is commonly used, such as English or Spanish. What is more, studies have shown that learning languages helps our brain to work more efficiently. If we want to be able to speak fluently we have to be constantly exposed to the language and practise our memory. On the other hand, some people claim that the knowledge of a foreign language is not useful nowadays because of the technological devices which we have. They say that that having an online access to dictionaires and transalotres is enough. To sum up, I think that learning to speak a foreign language nowadays is more important because it makes communicating with people so much easier and helps our brain to stay efficinet longer. We should not be dependant on online devices because they can stop working in the least expected moment. |
Is learning to speak a foreign language as important these days as it was in the past? Write an **essay** giving your opinion. | Learning a language can prove to be a very useful thing to do. Why do I think so? It's pretty obvious, the more languages we know the easier it becomes for us to communicate with large communities of people around the entire world. But what if I don't want any new friends? Is there any other reason why I should be eager to even start learning some brand new foreing language? If you ask me, yes there are bunch of other reasons to consider starting this amazing journey. For example you get exposed to a completely new culture and often times you fall in love with it. It shouldn't be that hard to conclude on your own, but because this argument is so obvious, a lot of people to tend to omit it whenever they encounter this subject of learning new language. Also, being a language user can be extremely helpful when you decide that you'd like to spend your holidays abroad because let's not deceive ourselves, not everybody in this country that you want to visit, speaks English. They inhabit some country where various languages are spoken so essentialy they don't see any need to study some other tongue. |
Is learning to speak a foreign language as important these days as it was in the past? Write an **essay** giving your opinion. | We live in a world that is changing very fast. What was considered trendy a decade ago is now old-fashioned. Do we really still need to learn foreign languages in times of artificial intelligency? Maybe we should just trust our robots to do this job? I will try to answer this question in below essay. Some of the futurologists claim that learning languages will become obsolete in next few years. Tools like google translator keep improving and people who don't know English can easily commmunicate with English speakers. Future developments in this area are highly possible. A group of scientists have been working under a special chip which will be located in the brain. This chip will allow to tranlsate from all of the languages. However all this sounds promising, there are still some serious doubts. First of all, google translator is still not perfect. In case of English it is effective, but not so much regarding other languages. Language brain chip initially will be very expensive and people will be afraid to use it. In my opinion, this kind of tool would not be commonly used before 2050. |
You have seen this notice in an international music magazine: **Articles wanted** **Do we need music in our lives?** Are there times when music is important? How does music make us feel? What would life be like without music? Write and tell us what you think. Write your **article** in **140 to 190** words in an appropriate style. | Music and sensations associated with experiencing it are deeply rooted in a western culture. How big is the impact these mysterious sounds have on us? Do we necessarily need them for our well-being? Presumably, all of us experienced the healing power of music, at least once in a lifetime. When you feel under the weather, depressed or really anxious, it could be tremendously curative. It was scientifically proven that music can cause immense increase in our mood and, mixed with exercising, can help us avoid the depression. For, God only knows how long , music have been used to sanctify human's life. Ancient people, just like the modern ones, used music for rituals to make the impression of the divinity. At first glance it may seem quite alien, although just think about what people experience during concert of their favourite music band, it's kind of mystical, isn't it? Music is the part of human culture since the dawn of time. I reckon everybody would agree that it has tremendous impact on our life and make the pain associated with awareness of our finitude much more bearable. |
What is your favourite film? Write a letter to your pen friend. Explain why you like the film and why you think your pen friend should watch it. | Hi Tom, thank you for your last e-mail. Indeed, 'The Boy in a Stripped Piyjamas' is a really touching movie. I understand, why it's your favourite movie. What about me? Oh, it's really hard to say what is my favourite movie. Actually, I enjoy many movies. But I reckon I can choose 'The Gladiator'. Have you ever seen it? As you know, I'm a fan of historical movies, so, as you see, the topic of this movie suits excellent. I would say, this movie is very touching too, such as yours. Honestly speaking, you should see this movie, I'm sure you love it. There are many conspirations and plot twists, as you like! Please, write to me soon, whether you enjoy this movie. I'm really curious. Love, Ann |

I've been using it for more than a few months and all I can say is that I'm really glad I discovered it. I like the possibility of getting educational feedback - suprisingly, it's very specific and I can learn a lot from one report. It helps me understand why I make certain mistakes and how to write my text sounding more formal, which I've been struggling a lot.

Advantages First of all there are plenty of writing tasks availble on the website. Starting from basic lavel, the user can make his progress completing more advanced tasks. The checking system works very fast. An user waits only few minutes for checking results. Disadvantages Although the checking system works very fast, it doesn't contain more precise information about kind of mistakes made by users. Basically, it forces you to check what you did incorretly outside of Write and Improve. In my opninon designers of the site should think about changing this solution. Recommendation. I would strongly recommend using Write and Improve website. Not only it helps developing writing skills but also allows users to express their opinions on lots of different topics. |
You have been asked to write a short __article__ for your school magazine with the title: *My favourite season of the year.* Describe your favourite season __and__ explain why it is so special for you. __Write your article.__ | Every season has something special to it. However, to me, autumn happens to be the most magical season of the year. First of all, I find the weather change to be quite endearing. The chilly winds of September are a nice, energising break from the summer heat. Cold weather also signals the beginning of sweater weather. Personally, I am in love with jumpers and anything with long sleeves, hence the cold weather is a great opportunity to start wearing layers once again. The landscape also becomes maginificent. The colourful leaves falling majestically off the trees are almost mesmerising. The ground covered with a blanket of colours makes any stroll become much more pleasant. Autumn is also special because of Halloween. Although I no longer celebrate it as I used to, I feel delighted seeing other people enjoying themselves. This time of the year also unites several communities on social media, and together we celebrate the arrival of the spooky season. |
You have been asked to write a short __article__ for your school magazine with the title: *My favourite season of the year.* Describe your favourite season __and__ explain why it is so special for you. __Write your article.__ | Time flies. You can see the changes it costs not only in people but in nature as well. One season starts and another ends very quickly. But have you ever thought which one of them is your favourite? Mine is definitely spring, and let me explain to you why. In summer it's too hot, and during the winter and autumn it's too cold, so spring is somewhere in the middle with optimum conditions. Of course I'm simplifying now. Spring is my favourite season not only because of the weather. But at this point I have to add it's really appealing to me. It's a beautiful time of the year. Everything is waking up from the winter sleep. Plants are growing and painting the world in green, with all those leaves and grass. Birds return from Africa, and every morning sing to you their outstanding songs. It feels like the whole world is joyful, and this happy excitement can be infectious. Cut the long story short, I love spring in my country. You should spend some time outdoors during that period, and if you enjoy being close to nature, as much as I do, you will fall in love with that season. |
You see a request for articles in a magazine: We invite you to write about: _The School of the Future_. In what ways do you think schools will be different in the future? In what ways might they still be the same? The writer of the best article will win a prize! Write your article. | School is a place where kids can learn new concepts, make new friends, fall in love, find their calling and I'm positive that there must be even more possibilites and opportunities for them to gain while they are considered to be enrolled in one of these institutions. However, modern schools are bombarded with lots of critique and nasty remarks. People don't like how children are being taught. Instead of teaching them by showing them how something works, teachers choose to expect their students to know only theory and the best part is that committing a mistake is something that is regarded as a stupidity. But to be honest, all of us know that making mistakes, enables us to learn new things better because we are aware of what we've done wrong. But let's move on to talking about how schools will be different in the future. So, in my opinion they're gonna be more about teaching kids by practising a given skill. Lessons will be fulfilled with various experiments, mistakes are going to be thought as priceless opportunities to sharp your knowledge. I'm sure that class are gonna be much more smaller, because as we all well know, it's difficult to teach a group of 30 kids on your own without aid of any kind. It all sounds magical and almost unrealistic but let's not get so cozy about this thought. Schools cannot change completely, there are some aspects that are irrevocable. For example there is a huge possibility that children will still have to learn untill they reach the age of 18 years old. It doesn't sound that awfully, does it? Well not, but some kids could move on a much more quicker pace and by setting this bars so high, we only slow them down. There still will be teachers who hate their jobs and try to make their pupils' lives miserable. I'm sorry that it was a wrong choice but it doesn't give you any permission to hurt innocent children with your harsh comments and your general gloomy well-being, which doesn't motivate them to even come to school in the first place! |
You see a request for articles in a magazine: We invite you to write about: _The School of the Future_. In what ways do you think schools will be different in the future? In what ways might they still be the same? The writer of the best article will win a prize! Write your article. | Schools in new reality Is it only me or you have had the same complaints about your school? Imagining the future of school takes place on every level. We used to dream of more colorful buildings, better teachers, less homework, diversity in subjects. Now it's coming true. School has been getting closer to the futuristic vision of it. For instance, the first difference will be the use of technology. Tablets, computers and robots will not be only used by teachers but mainly by students. Paper notebooks will be long gone to trash. Another point is creating a smaller classes. Psychological studies showed that human is not able to focus in the group of 30 people. Taking it into consideration, schools will be reducing the number of students in a group. In addition, societies will realize how great role, nature plays in our life. Classes will be organised outdoors in order to show children the beauty of the world. Though, there will be definitely no changes in grouping kids by age. Governments like it. It is easier to control people. Teacher probably will stay as a head of class. |
Because of the negative effects on health of an inactive lifestyle, all university students and school children should be forced to do sports activities at least 3 times per week. Do you agree? Write your **argumentative essay**. | Nowadays we hear very often of how young people underestimate the importance of doing sports. Many do not understand or do not want to comprehend the fact that sitting in front of our computers is not the best activity to do all day long. We need to do some sort of phisical activity in order to stay healthy. However, because if it, is it crucial to force student to do sport at least 3 times a week? Does everyone have to attend PE classes at their school and should we even have PE classes at school? In my opinion there are some exceptions, which we should take into consideration. Firstly, as I have already pointed out in the first paragraph, sports activities are valid in achiving healthy lifestyle. This is why I think every student, starting from the first grade of primary school and ending in the second grade of secoundary school, should have obligatory PE classes at school 3 or 2 times a week. The third graders should have the possibility to do sport at school but I think it should be an extra-curricular activity, since the third grade ends with an A levels and young people, who face this exam, must focus on studying. Another issue that I want to write about is that some students may do sports outside the school. In that case, school should take that fact into account becouse then, those students should be forced to exarcise at school. If they do enough of sports activities after lessons then why should they take PE classes at school? They only waste their time by doing that. Overall, I believe that sports activities are very important especially for young people, to avoid, for example, obesity. It is good that schools care about their students in that matter, however they should consider making PE classes not obligatory if a students does sports during their free time. |
Because of the negative effects on health of an inactive lifestyle, all university students and school children should be forced to do sports activities at least 3 times per week. Do you agree? Write your **argumentative essay**. | As we all know nowadays it's not common for people to do sports activities. It's terrifying that very slight people are living the healthy way. It's more commom to lead an inactive lifestyle, which is obviously unhealthy for them. Some people say that children should be forced to do sport activities at least 3 times per week during their university and school terms. I believe that this aproach is correct. But, it's far from optimal. Wanna know why? Let's begin! First of all, doing sports is healthy. I'm not talking about a sport career or something, which obviously less healthy (maybe even less healthier than not doing sports at all), but running few times a week or even everyday is without any doubts beneficial for our body and mental health. It's also important for our well-being. I understand that not everyone is talented, muscular or has good genetics. But, I believe that swiming or just simply doing some sport activities, like running mentioned above, few times a week is very neccessary. As long as you have the motivation to change your life you should do sports. Of course, there are some downsides of this idea too. I think that forcing everyone is just simply not good. There are people which are really talented and are taking sports activities seriously. We shouldn't make them attend to those classes. It's pointless. We would simply waste their valuable time. Further going, at some age you realise how important our health is. You discover that it may affect your life in the future. I think that we shouldn't force students. They have a lot of stuff going on of in their lives and I believe that they understand at this point how important it is. At the end, I just want to summarise all the things I have mentioned above. I believe that this idea is great. It's very important to do sports activities, but we shouldn't force everyone to do them. |
Because of the negative effects on health of an inactive lifestyle, all university students and school children should be forced to do sports activities at least 3 times per week. Do you agree? Write your **argumentative essay**. | We live in a world that supposively revloves around self-care. The widespreading tendency these days though, is lack of physical work. How often do we ran into a person, especially young, who exercises regularly? Sadly, to majority of adolescence's mind, there are other, more meaningful prorities in life than health. Quite thought-provoking solution with a view to terminating this baffling speculation is to make all students and children exercise. Firstly, it is generally held that lacking in physical exercising equals struggling with health. Furthermore, I believe that modern technology is a nail to teenagers' tomb. The fact that perfectly illustrates it is their frequent preferences of spending their leisure time on Instagram rather than cycling or jogging. Isn't that frustrating? What's more, from the phycological standpoint, an order of exercising at least 3 times per week can be motivating for young. What I mean is, as soon as they set their aim, they allow themselves to gain self-confidence which is maintained as utterly useful at their age. Referring to my previous arguments, another convincing fact is that teenagers and students can be sometimes overly careful with their future lives. Keeping on mind that sport facilitates them to maintain a healthy lifestyles, exercising will benefit them well perhaps in 10 years view. On the other hand, however, forcing kids to exercise can cause dreadful anxiety because of the pressure they'd be putten into. Vitally, in my view, more effective way would include conversations with young people, lessons and articles encouraging them to take up some sport. Taking everything into consideration, I come to the conclusion that awarness about the benefits of exercising shoud be spread among children and students. This way, it is highly likely that they will naturally decide to become athletic all by themselves. By and large, surely, exercising at least 3 times a week is recommended for them! |
Because of the negative effects on health of an inactive lifestyle, all university students and school children should be forced to do sports activities at least 3 times per week. Do you agree? Write your **argumentative essay**. | In this day and age sitting lifestyle becomes more common among young people as they study a lot and huge part of their social life happens online. As a result kids and teenagers are less active, but it does not mean that they should be forced to do sports activities, at most, they ought to be encouraged to do so. Forcing someone to do sports from such a young age creates unhealthy mindsets towards physical activity which is then seen rather as a chore than a way to stay healthy. On account of this, people obligated to be active will have hard time finding sport enjoyable in the future, which can quickly cause them to fall of the wagon, resulting in an increase of obesity and other health problems connected with lack of movement. What is more, obligatory physical activity in schools and universities usually comes in a form of PE classes, where there are not many alternatives when it comes to things children and teenagers can do. Limiting kids options to football, basketball, volleyball and other, easy to organize games does not help them reach their full potential and discover their talents. It can also trouble kids who are not gifted when it comes to playing those accessible sports. Despite everything what has been mentioned, forcing young people to do sports three times a weak ensures that they keep their bodies healthy during demanding years of their development. In consequence, many diseases, characteristic for those of young age can be easily prevented. All things considered, forcing healthy lifestyle on kids has far more downsides than advantages and it should not be done by school’s authorities. Every human, despite their age, has the right to decide how they want to live their life. Children and young adults ought to be able to choose healthy lifestyle, ideally following example that their parent have gave them. |

Write and Improve is a website which allows you to write plenty of emails on a various topics and instantly check it. There are 3 levels of difficulty from a beginner to advanced so I am sure you will find exercises suitable for your skills. I have been using this website for 2 months now and I can honestly say that it helped me a lot. Over the past two months I have become more eloquent, I gained confidence in writing and I write emails much faster. What I really like about Write and Improve is its simplicity. Everything is clear and simple, you know exactly where the things are and it isn't exaggerated. What I don't like is that the page doesn't give me hints about how the sentence could be written in a different way. But luckily I don't make many mistakes. However, two days ago I was struggling with a problem. I realized that I spend too much time on your webpage. I suppose I got addicted to it. Of course I'm joking. To sum up, I would like to recommend you this page because it is truly a masterpiece. I really improved my English and it will be improving even more. |

Write your **review**. | Those who spent hundreds of hours on learning non-native language are fully aware that sooner or later we all need some additional resources that would enable us to brush uo in our skills more easily. I have always struggle with writing, therefore I was looking for some website on which could help me to improve. After a while I finally find Write and Improve. In my humble opinion this website can really help you to develop. After signing up you should choose are level from a beginner to an advanced or pick an exam that you are preparing for. Then you will get all topics of paragraphs, essays, articles and reports which are available. When your exercise is finished, you can check it. Level of your writing will be assessed and all your mispelling or errors will be pointed out. After that you are able to correct your mistakes and once again check your writing. There is only one drawback on this website that I noticed. One of sentences in your exercise might be highlighted as incorrect, but you will not get any advice how you ought to rephase it. Nevertheless, that is rather a small inconvience. To top off, it seems to me that everyone can find Write and Improve as extremely useful resorce for learning English. I highly recommend it. |

Write your **review**. | Thie aim of the following review is to analyse the impact of Write and Improve's page on the student's learning process. Let's dive into the topic starting from the visual impact of the page. What stands out is a perfectly balanced page. The choice of light colors (with hints of black ink here and there), makes it easier to navigate among tasks and assignments. Each category provides a selection of activities dedicated to learners raging from peincipants to advanced. Each category includes a plethora of topics revolving around ordinary issues affecting our lives. There are esseys, snackable articles, letters, a whole variety of topics to chose from. I think the page is a game changer, as it has prominently revolutionized the way we approach writing in English. No more loads of money spend on pricey private teachers. No more worrying about timings and schedules. Not only is the service custom tailored and available 24 hours a day, but it also gives you an instant feedback. What I find less appealing in this endeavour relates to the useage on mobile devices, which I personally find uncomfortable. Secondly, the automatic approach may result in flattening the variety of human individualistic expression. I recommend students to use it as a secondary tool. |

Include details about what you like about the tool and about any difficulties you had with it, and finish by giving your recommendation for other readers. Write your **review**. | I would like to recommend all of the readers website called 'Write and Improve'. I've been using this resource since September and definitely can say it's helping me a lot! Thanks to W&I, I improved my vocabulary and sense of grammar a lot. Writing is easy and enjoyable for everyone, so the idea of making it in another language and then seeing a feedback and my progress is incredibly smart! I like how you can observe changes you make over months and even be told what language level you're currently at. I also enjoy the feedback I get every time - when I combine it with Grammarly, I start to see mistakes more clearly and - more importantly - understand what and why I did wrong! The only difficulties I had to face were with online connection. It'd amazing if I could use this tool everywhere, no matter of a stable Internet connection. One of the last negative things I can think about is that you have to know basic English - both grammar and vocabulary. Of course, section 'for beginners' is helpful, but it's all about writing without any clues expect a topic. All and all, as I said earlier, I really recommend this site. I have seen changes in my grammar after a few days of everydays' usage. My friends seem satisfied too. I hope you will try it out! |

Write your **review**. | Improving your writing is not that easy, especially if it's fluent already. However, it's not impossible, and there are tools that can help to make the process of learning quicker and more enjoyable. Recently I discovered website called 'Write and improve'. In next week I'll have been using it for a month. Frankly, it's the best writing tool I've ever used. It allows the user to write different types of essays, letters and reviews. It has multiple tasks to do. It has a times that measures how much time user spent on the task, and after finishing it highlights every mistake. It says what was done wrong and what could've been done better. The user can correct those mistakes and check the result again. The website also shows us how we improved and on which level our knowledge of english language is. It's advanced and effortless to use. There are no hidden options we need to search for for a long time. We need to create an account, but only data we need to give is our email adress. If we want to, the tool can send us emails about our improvements and suggestion for the future. What's best about the website is the fact, that we don't have to pay money for this. It's only necessary if we want to do tasks like the ones that are on popular exams. The only difficulty I had was to remember my password, but it's common. I had absolutely no other difficulties, and that's why I fell in love with this tool. |

Include details about what you like about the tool and about any difficulties you had with it, and finish by giving your recommendation for other readers. Write your **review**. | Recently I've discovered a very useful tool for those who are keen to improve their writing english. This tool is called Write and improve. It allows you to write about hundreds of topics, which you can choose freely. Everyone will find something for them! As I said by using this tool you are able to improve your english skills. You just simply write about a certain topic and when you feel you have finished, you send the answer. After some time you get your feedback from Cambridge! Then you can either make some changes to improve your work or move on to another topic. For sure the best part about this tool is that you can get some feedback and continue to improve. It's for sure easier to do so when you are geeting marked by other people. In a short period of time you can write multiple works. It doesn't matter, if you are currently traveling by train or bus. The Write and Improve allows you to write from every device that you own (it has to be connacted to the internet)! When it comes to downsides, it may take a long time before your work gets some feedbacks. It also has limited amount of topics so it may be a problem in the future. Just imagine a situation when after some time you have finished all of the available works and there is nothing left. At least after finishing all of the works I believe you wil be able to express your opinion about any topic easily. |

You are a financial advisor. You receive a letter from a woman who has has to start economizing more in her life. Write back to her and outline your advice. Write 150-180 words. | Dear Paula,
Thank you for your message. I am happy to share my saving tips with you. First of all, I am glad to hear that you found a new job! However, as your salary is lower you need to plan your expenses very carefully. You are concerned about your money spending on food.
You start your day with a cup of double latte on your way to the office. The good news is that you still can enjoy your favourite drink but consider to prepare it yourself at home before you leave. In addition, you always buy ready made lunch. My idea is to prepare a nutritious salad or sandwich at home and take the packed lunch to your office. Finally, I understand how expensive is eating outside, especially if you used to go to the best restaurants in town. Think about a possibility of cooking a delicious dinner with your friends at home. Changing your habits can save you a lot of money! Furthermore, you may find out that your new lifestyle is even better than your old one.
Best wishes,
Justyna |

Your life coach asks you to write a summary of your needs and goals using Maslow’s hierarchy. Start with physiological needs and work up to self-actualization. Identify which of your needs are being met and which aren't, identify your goals, and mention any guidelines or deadlines you've made. Write 150-180 words. | Physiological needs: the most part of these needs are met. It is obvious that one cannot exist and survive without air and water. I should think more about the quality of food I used to eat. Safety: I live in one of the safest suburbs, so my personal safety is not a big concern. However, I have some health issues. In addition, I have a few loans. My goal is to pay off all the debts within five years. Also I will consider having life insurance in the near future. Love and affection: I have a fantastic family with strong relationship with my husband and kids. I have two real friends I can rely on if I need help. Esteem: I have to work on my self-esteem. I am too shy person and that stops me to express my opinions effectively. This clearly affects my self-confidence. Self-actualization: I accept the fact that I am disabled. Thus, I am very active and I am a voluntary helper in a local school. I have a couple of good qualifications too. I would like to improve my language skills to communicate more effectively. |
