Self Study
In today's global environment, knowing a foreign language is becoming more and more
crucial, especially if it’s one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. Thanks to the
rapid advancement of technology, students have a variety of learning methods such as online
learning, the traditional classroom and group learning. Self-study has emerged as a tendency for
students all over the world. In this essay, I will accommodate the students with worthwhile
advantages of self-study.
Classroom learning is not practical for many people due to time and place. With self-
study, students can study from any time and location of their choice. Furthermore, the great thing
about self-study is that students can choose what works best for their level. Encourage students
to try different study techniques, like listening to music, reading books, watching videos, or
creating mind maps. Foreign songs contain a lot of new words and phrases, so let's make good
use of these to expand vocabulary and increase our skill.
An additional advantage of self-study is that it suits a variety of learning styles. Every
student has a different learning journey and style. For example, some students thrive in the
classroom, and others are alone learners. Thus, self-study is the best way to create a perfect
learning environment suited to the needs of each student.
Last but not least, we can approach a lot of practical knowledge to be learned outside of
the classroom. For example, students can take part in some clubs to communicate with friends or
native speakers. It is so interesting that we discover new stories or learn exotic words that aren't
taught in school.
All things considered, self-study is an outstanding method of learning foreign language.
By practicing self-study, students are encouraged to further explore knowledge they are
interested in, developing stronger study skills as a result.
Gender
In today's global environment, a debate still ongoing about whether the single - sex
classes or mixed ones are better for the students. Some people support single - sex classes, while
others prefer mixed ones. Nevertheless, I oppose segregation between genders and claim that co-
education is better for the students. In this essay, I will supply the advantages that mixed classes
bring and try to draw some conclusions.
Boys will do all their best to perform better than the girls, and the girls will also try very
hard to outshine the boys in academic performance. Therefore, this provides an opportunity for
promoting learning results between boys and girls in mixed classes.
Another major benefit of mixed classes is that it gives the students a conducive
environment to grow socially in an all-round manner. That means students are able to integrate
and to relate well with people of both sexes. It allows them to understand how men and women
interact with each other and not to feel awkward. Social science research has shown that people
who have gone through the mixed - sex system of education tend to integrate better in the society
than the people who have undergone the single sex system of education. Thus, a mixed - sex
system of education is very important for the healthy social development of the students.
Last but not least, it is more economical to maintain a mixed - sex system of education
than it is to maintain a single - sex one. To maintain the same sex education system we must
build many schools that will accommodate the two different sexes. However, with the mixed -
sex system of education, we don't need many schools because both boys and girls would study in
the same school.
To sum things up, mixed - sex schooling system has indeed many worthwhile advantages
over the single - sex schooling system. This fact shows that the mixed sex system of schooling
should be promoted by governments, while the single sex system of schooling should be
abolished.
Bicycle or car
With the development of the storm, transportation plays an important part in today's
global society. It is undeniable that riding a bike and driving a car are two popular forms of
human means of transport. Both of them have similarity which is to bring people from one place
to another but there are certainly some differences as well. In this essay, I will point out
interesting distinctions and try to draw some conclusions.
Depending on the purpose and distance, it is decided to travel by car or bicycle. For long
distances, driving a car is a reasonable choice because it saves a lot of time, so people use their
time more efficiently. Moreover, cars are equipped with security systems such as seat belts,
airbags, and traction control. That is a reason why people driving a car are safer than cycling.
Besides, people can relax and relieve stress after moments of hard work by modern systems in
cars such as air conditioning and entertainment systems. For example, Veloz has a DVD that
allows passengers to listen to music and watch comedy clearly while driving a car.
On the other hand, riding a bike also is an optimal way due to its benefits. The first is the
healthy advantage. When cycling, people have to exercise the whole body, especially in the
buttocks, thighs, shoulders ... to stimulate my metabolism and burn more calories. Therefore, it
builds muscle and strong bones, increases the possibility of losing weight and creates a well-
proportioned body. Furthermore, since the bicycle moves slowly, riding a bike definitely protects
people from dangerous diseases such as stroke, heart attack or some cancers. In addition,
bicycles don't use fuel such as gasoline or oil, so it is an environmentally friendly means of
transport. Thus, it is so wonderful that people are strongly encouraged to cycle if they can, which
significantly contributes to raising public awareness of environmental protection.
To sum things up, each means of transport has its own fascinating differences. The choice
of traveling by bicycle or car depends on the purpose and distance, so people should consider
carefully to choose the right type of transport.
Mature
The passage of time nourishes the human soul, helps us to become more mature
physically and mentally, and gives us wings to dream and hope for the future. Maturity is the
growth of each person in recognizing, absorbing and handling things in life. Have you ever asked
yourself that you have grown up? For me, that became a reality when a new family member was
added.
When I was a child, I was a shy girl who only curiously followed in her mother's
footsteps, lived her days without worry, thoughtless and did not need to be responsible for
anyone. But when growing up, I have to learn to be independent and have responsibilities to our
family, to work, to our homeland and to ourselves. I know mom having a baby means she doesn't
have much time to take care of her family and herself. Therefore, I knew how to look after my
younger brother and help my mother with housework such as cleaning the house, arranging
clothes, washing dishes.... All of these became my daily activities, no nothing difficult or
overwhelming. Only then will I grow up and not be the naive little girl I used to be.
Time has given me maturity in my decisions for the future. I don't just worry about
fantasies anymore, but I have set my own goals and ideals and have a specific plan to conquer it.
After each semester, I know how to self-review my study results, compare with other students
and the results of the previous school year to learn and improve. I am fighting hard and trying
every second, every minute to study well because I know that only studying will get me to
succeed.
In short, adulthood not only helps people have a positive outlook on life, but also helps
them clearly define goals and plans for the future. That's why growing up is always a goal that
each of us aspires to. To achieve that, try to put yourself in the shoes of others, think and
encourage them, along with that, nurture your dreams and ambitions and try to realize them.
Because when you do those things, you show your maturity.
Picture
Art is considered an important part of a society as well as an expression of its culture. Art
has been classified as seven: painting, architecture, sculpture, music, literature, performing, and
cinema. In the painting area, I'm completely fascinated by the “golden autumn” picture – eternal
masterpiece of Levitan and russia.
Golden Autumn was a perfect summary of the Russian fall landscape. It seems very
peaceful, warm and familiar. Yellow and golden are the predominant colors of Russian autumn,
therefore the painting was mostly covered in these colors. On the right of the picture, there is a
small river flowing mildly. The two sides of the river are yellow grass with a bit of weak
sunlight. On the grass, the trees are painted the golden yellow signaling the coming of autumn.
The color of the sky is a mixture of white and a little gray. In the picture, the artist depicts a clear
blue sky with clouds floating in the autumn breeze. The scene in the picture is so beautiful that I
want to immerse myself in that space.
The tight layout and harmony between colors and graphics make up the special value of
the picture "Golden Autumn". The curves of the transitional river with the gentle grass under the
trees are exposed to the breaking lines of the forest tree trunks combined with the pleasant warm
and cool colors of autumn, evoking the viewer's feeling. indeterminate sorrow. The picture
depicts the grandeur through strong lines of color, showing the layers of clouds floating in the
high blue sky of autumn and is vividly colored, mysterious and magical like the soul of the
people. great Russian people.
All things considered, I think Golden Autumn's success is to touch seers’ hearts. Levitan’s
delicacy and talent for the picture has completely impressed seers all over the world.
