Reading and Writing, Great Wall of China, Should We Eat Snickers

 By Nate Feldman

1.      Community = area around you; people living around you

*ELS is in a nice community J

*We have a nice community here. 

 

2.      Long-term: in the future, but far away from now

*Having longer days at ELS will be tiring now, but in the long-term, it will make your English better.

 

3.      Volunteer = doing something without being asked to do it; doing something without getting paid

 

4.      Grateful = thankful for something

 

*I am grateful for your class Mr. Nate (I hope) because you teach us so many important things J

 

5.      Factor = something that is a part of a decision or a reason behind something

*Taking classes at ELS was the most important factor in my decision to come to the USA

*Before you pick a career, there are many factors you must consider, such as the salary, job location, and whether you are suitable for that job or not.

 

6.      Well-being: quality of life

*It’s important to work hard, but you must think about your mental well-being. 

*When I choose a job, I must consider if it will be good for my financial well-being, mental well-being, and my family’s well-being.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Should you eat Snickers/Sweet Things for breakfast?

 

Even though they taste good, I don’t think I’m in favor of eating Snickers for breakfast.  First of all, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, or that is what experts say.  Therefore, it’s important to eat healthy things, like yogurt, eggs, fruit, oatmeal, or cereal.  They give you good energy to be focused for your day’s activities.  Second, Snickers has too much sugar, and starting your day with too much sugar is not a good idea.  Of course, there are many breakfast cereals that have a lot of sugar, too, but I don’t recommend you eat them either.  Finally, Snickers is something that is good to have once in a while, but it shouldn’t be a daily thing.  So, you shouldn’t eat it always for breakfast.  So, enjoy your Snickers bar sometimes, but not at breakfast.  Thank you.

Two Teachers

Image
By Nate Feldman I recently went to a school, and there I had two teachers.  They both taught me well, but they had some unique differences.   There was Mr. Franklin.  He was very playful in class.  He always taught using games and imagination.  Very often, he would tell stories to the class to learn something valuable and interesting.  He had a great sense of humor and liked to laugh.  At the beginning of class, he asked us what we would want to do for the day, so we decided the type of lesson. Then, there was his wife, Mrs. Franklin.  Unlike her husband, she wasn't so playful in class.  She always used the book for the lessons and stuck with it strictly.  She could laugh, but she was more serious during lessons.  Also, unlike her husband, she was the decision-maker in the class.  She told us what to do, and we would do it. The two teachers were so different, but I learned so much from them, and I think they were both amaz...

Soccer and American Football, A Comparison Essay

By Nate Feldman Comparison Essay: Soccer and American Football Do you like to play or watch sports?  Athletics play an important role in cultures around the world, and two of the most popular, soccer and American football, often create confusion for international students. Although both games involve teamwork, strategy, and intense competition, they differ greatly in rules, equipment, and global popularity. To begin, soccer is the world’s most widely played sport. It is simple to learn and requires very little equipment: a ball and an open space. The objective is straightforward.  Players use their feet to move the ball and attempt to score goals by kicking it into the opponent’s net. Except for the goalkeeper, players cannot touch the ball with their hands. Soccer matches are known for their fast pace and continuous action, with only a short halftime break. American football, on the other hand, is primarily popular in the United States, although there is a Canadian foot...
