Reading and Writing, Great Wall of China, Should We Give Away Money to People?

 By Nate Feldman

1.      Self-esteem: how you feel about yourself

*I have high self-esteem (I am confident)

*I have low self-esteem (I am not confident)

*You need to improve your self-esteem

 

2.      Salary: money you make at work

*My job has a high salary: it pays a lot

*My job has a low salary: it pays a little

 

3.      To enrich: to improve or make something better

*I hope these classes will enrich your knowledge of English

*My time in Philly has been an enriching experience

 

4.      Focus on: pay attention to

Take the focus off: pay less attention to that thing

*We need to focus on our writing skills, and we need to take the focus off the salaries from other countries

 

 

Stay connected: I should call people more often

 

The reading said to be happy people should stay connected.  I can stay connected more by calling people.  Sometimes, I get busy and don’t call enough people.  So, I need to do that more and this will make me stay connected, and I will be happier.

 

Give away: I should buy more presents for friends

 

Backstab: to betray a person who trusted you

 

I bought a new jacket for my friend, and then they told everyone that I am a loser.  They backstabbed me. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Should you give away money to people?

 

Because it is helpful for both the world and yourself, I am in favor of giving money to people, but it must be the right people (Opinion).  First of all, we share this world with other people.  We are not alone, so it is important to share resources with one another.  Some people might need things that you have, and if you have more than enough, it is good to share that with them.  Also, it is good to build relationships with people because maybe in the future you will need something, and that person will have that thing.  If you give money to people, they should later give it to you when you need it.  Finally, our cultures and religions teach us this is the right way to behave.  We are supposed to share our money with people.  That is why people give to charities to help others.  So, I think you must be careful because some people are bad, but otherwise, it is good to give money to help (Say opinion again).  Thank you.  Can I have $10,000?

 

 

I give money to you because you are my friend. 

 

My country has a lot of natural resources (fact)

The economy in our country is strong. 

The government provides assistance to people who need it.

 

I run in the evening after my work (routine)

I go to my class 3.5 times a week. 

I have night parties every day.

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...
