Reflection essay

This class has given me the chance to improve my English language and skills. As we learned more about grammar, communication skills and so many different things that participated in improving my language.
Our course included reading, writing and speaking. In the reading section we were taught how to pronounce difficult words and learn their meanings, including writing different types of paragraphs such as descriptive paragraphs, comparison etc.The speaking section where to improve the language.
Moreover, I think it’s clear that my writing has improved and my thoughts and ideas can be described clearly now.
On the other hand, our teacher has used different teaching techniques which made it more interesting to gain knowledge such as group works, assignments and even class discussion about several issues and cases that made us participate more in class and helped us to communicate with other collides which opened for us new doors for friendship.
At last, I want to end this course thanking my English teacher for his effort and hoping that we had accomplished and reached what he planned for us to.

Advertisements -argument



Watching TV is something interesting to do. Some times when you watch a movie advertisements interrupt you and you lost your focus. I disagree with this statement. In this essay I am going to describe the pros and cons for advertisements on television.

There are several agreements of advertisements on TV. The first point is that advertisements provide money for the channels. Channels need money to pay for their workers and to have a profit. Another point is that advertisement makes the products fames. For example when you see an advertisement in the TV you want to try it. A final point is that advertisements help people to see what the best is for them. For example when you see many products and from the advertisement you know this product is the best.
There are also disagreements against advertisement on TV. The first point is that people shouldn’t have to have their lives attacked by a huge quantity of information they might not want. For example when you go out and every place your eyes see you see an advertisement. Another point is that advertisements are so long and you feel boring. For example you see your best movie and an advertisement interrupts you. A final point is that people can not choose to ignore advertising.

In conclusion, both have arguments have advantages but I prefer not to have advertisements.

Paying for education-argument



In almost every country in the world the students pay for their education but our government gives our education free. I disagree with this statement. Although there are arguments on both sides.

The main reason why I disagree with this statement is some people don’t have the money to pay for their education. This students need to study to support their families. Another point is that some students might have to work to pay for their education. That will be difficult for them because they will study and work at same time.

There are some points against this argument. One point is that if students pay for their education they will be more serious. Because when someone gets tired by gain money for example he will think many times before he spends it. Another point is that they will use the knowledge from their studies in their work. The final point is that when students are more serious the grades will be highest.

In conclusion, there are arguments for both and against the statement. Hoverer, on balance I believe the argument in student pay for their studies are strong than those against.
