Independent learning often involves self-study – learning at home without a teacher.

Let’s look
at its pros and cons.
First, self-study gives learners more freedom. They decide what they should study and how to
study depending on their abilities. Secondly, it can make learners responsible. They set their
learning goals and make study plans to achieve them. Finally, it makes them more confident.
Completing tasks and solving problems on their own boost learners’ confidence.
On the other hand, learners may need more time to learn things. They study at their own pace,
with no one to push them or help them. Moreover, they may not develop certain life skills. For
example, as they always study alone, they may have difficulty communicating or developing
relationships. Finally, they may not learn practical skills. Focusing too much on theoretical
knowledge, they may fail to apply their academic skills in real life.
In conclusion, learners should understand both the advantages and disadvantages to choose the
right option. However, as education is changing all the time, they may have to get used to the
challenges of independent learning.

Dear Sir or Madam,


I am writing to ask for some information about the language courses at your language centre. I
am now in grade 11, and I want to learn another foreign language, which I hope to use after
leaving school.
First, could you please let me know whether there are German courses at your language centre?
I would also like to know how long the course for beginners lasts and how often classes take
place. This information would help me organise my schoolwork and see how much time I have
left for your course.
Next, I would be grateful if you could tell me the course fees. Do you also offer any discount on
fees?
Finally, would you mind telling me if there are native German-speaking teachers at your
language centre? I would prefer native teachers as they speak naturally and tell interesting
stories about the place they come from.
If would be great if you could send your school brochure to my address. I look forward to
hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
