In many countries, a small number of people earn extremely high salaries. Some people believe that this is good for the country, but others think that governments should not allow salaries above a certain level.
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Some top executives are being paid wages that amount to up to 200 times that of the average worker. Some people show positive attitudes towards this disparity, whereas others argue that governments should introduce a maximum wage, and I agree with them.
On the one hand, there is one main reason why some top managers make exorbitant amounts of money is considered beneficial for the nation. In particular, CEO pay usually commensurates with company’s stock-related and financial performance. In other words, if a company reaches a certain financial target, or its stock value increases, then the wage of its CEOs will increase in tandem. So organizations that can reward their supervisors with extremely high pay are often exceptionally successful too. These prosperous companies in turn might raise their workers’ pay packages or want to expand and need more employees. This creates a large number of employment positions, thus benefiting the country’s economy.
On the other hand, setting a wage ceiling has its own benefits. First, it can reduce financial waste. Millionaire executives often spend their money on luxurious products. However, the luxury industry is typically owned by the rich, and it offers little to the general public and the whole country’s economy. For example, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos spent $5.5 billion to be in space for roughly four minutes, an expenditure that can provide millions of people with Medicaid. Second, high wage inequality causes workers to feel agitated and unjust, so they might strike. This causes financial losses, social disruption and even an increased crime rate. Therefore, it is essential to set a maximum wage.
In conclusion, although companies with seriously high-paid executives can offer more job opportunities, salaries should be capped at a certain level to prevent wasteful spending and socio-economic instability.

Hola, Ally:

Topic:
Some people think that parents should teach children how to be good members of society. Others, however, believe the school is the place to learn this.
Discuss both views and give your opinion.
My essay:
Children are undeniably the future of the nation, so their education and development have always been the main concern of society. Some people assert that parents should be responsible for educating their children to become good citizens, while others argue it is the role of schools. In my opinion, it is a collective responsibility.
On the one hand, parents have a profound influence on their children. First, they lay the foundations for their child’s behavior by teaching the differences between right and wrong and guiding the child to behave accordingly. For example, kids are taught to learn proper table manners and be polite to their grandparents. Second, young individuals by nature mimic people around them, and they typically spend most of their time with their mothers and fathers. So parents can deliberately behave in a certain way that embodies good character traits, and their kids are likely to learn from it.
On the other hand, schools also play a key role in youth development. To facilitate a learning environment, schools have to establish a set of rules, and students are taught to strictly adhere to these rules. This promotes necessary characteristics of good citizenship such as self-discipline and obedience. Furthermore, the school is a miniature society with people from various backgrounds. Through interacting with their peers and participating in teamwork activities, students can build up interpersonal skills that are vital for their future careers and generally in life.
In conclusion, while parents can instill in children the basics of good behavior and become good role models, the school can teach them to obey the rules and develop collaborative social skills. Therefore, teaching children good citizenship should be a joint effort between them.

Can anyone help review my writing?
IELTS speaking part 1 questions:
Do you work or study? (Do you work or are you a student?)
I am currently working as a bartender for a juice shop owned by my relatives. But this is just a temporary job to pay the bills. I’m studying an online English course that aims at getting a 7.5 in IELTS test. This is because want to be an English teacher, and most language institutions require the applicants to have a 7.5 IELTS qualification.
How do you spend your work day?
I usually start off my day with going to the market near my house and buying buy fresh products for the day such as fruits to stock the shop. Then, I spend around one hour cleaning the shop and preparing the materials. After that, I make drinks for customers, and before going off work, I clean all the equipment.
Is it better to work in the morning or in the afternoon?
Personally, I find that I’m more productive in the afternoon. My energy is usually the lowest around 2-3 hours after I just wake up. I think at that time my brain has trouble functioning properly. So for me, I would perform better during the afternoon.
What do you do to improve your productivity?
I feel that a short nap really boosts my energy and productivity. Whenever I feel tired and sluggish, I just take a 15-minute sleep, and then I can work efficiently again. If I do not have enough time, I close my eyes and try to think about nothing for about five minutes. This can revitalize my brain too.

Getting started
I'm starting again in langcorrect since a long time without writing. I remember that I stop writing because I undergone a kind of lack of motivation. But now I'm back again!.
The reason that make me start with it again is that I stayed abroad for the first time in my life. There I had to use my english and I realized that I need a lot of practice. I met a lot nice people but sometime they didn't understand me but most of the times I was who don't understand them. That's why I'm tryin to improve my english. I think that now I have the motivation and tools to reach my objectives.

You have decided to spend the afternoon at your friend’s house after school. Write a note to your parents letting them know.
Hola padres:
Esta tarde no voy a volver a casa. La verdad es que tendré que hacer un examen por la mañana, y Ally y yo no hemos estudiado nada. Saben que soy una persona muy ordenada, pero recién estaba trabajando mucho más que antes, porque cuando termine mis estudios me mudaré a la ciudad. Perdónenme, los prometo que no va a pasar otra vez.
Los quiero muchísimo, tu hija favorita,
Fran.

La alimentación intuitiva
Hoy en día no faltan dietas entre las que elegir. El problema es que la gran mayoría de las personas que hacen dieta fracasan. Una alternativa prometedora a las dietas tradicionales que se ha hecho popular en los últimos años es la alimentación intuitiva. El enfoque, lanzado por dos nutricionistas estadounidenses en 1995, se basa en unas reglas sencillas: comer cuando se necesita y parar cuando se está lleno. Por lo tanto, tiene más que ver con prestar atención a las señales del cuerpo y seguirlas, en lugar de restringirse de los alimentos que se consideran poco saludables.
A diferencia de las dietas tradicionales, la alimentación intuitiva presenta una forma de desarrollar una relación más sana con la comida. Las dietas fracasan porque se centran en la restricción e imponen una mentalidad de todo o nada. Además, centrarse en factores externos, como el recuento de calorías, convierte a la comida en tu enemigo. En cambio, la alimentación intuitiva propone una visión más equilibrada de la comida, que nos permite experimentar emociones distintas de la culpa al comer, como la satisfacción, el placer o la alegría.

My learning experience
I learned English as second language, when I was 11 years. I imagined that I come Mirror of the Sky Bolivia. In my dream, I admire pure sky and cloud like milk, and forget myself in heaven. Western view style is different with eastern one. Different scenery have different wonderful. Because of view, I was interested in foreign culture. Language is culture door. So I had to learn English. After 8 years, my ability doesn't excellence. I learn English to sweat blood, so I'm confused. What can I doing?

Today's diary
It has been a long time I had not posted my diaries on langcorrect, and about 40 days later, I will take an IELTS exam in a city I have not visited before. To be honest, I am extremely nervous about this exam, especially the parts of writting and speaking. I think I am not capable to pass this exam, my tenses and vocabularies were disastrous, I mean, the vocabularies that I understand, does not mean that I know how to use them correctly.

L’automne au Québec
Je viens de l’Ouest Canadien, mais en ce moment j’habite au Québec avec ma blonde. Dans les montagnes rocheuses l’automne est incroyable. Parfois, il neige et la météo est parfaite pour faire les randonnées. Cependant, a cause de l’hauteur des montagnes il y a principalement les arbres conifères. Elles sont vraiment belles mais elle ne changent pas ses couleurs. Cependant, ici au Québec il y a plusieurs espèces d’arbres et elles changent ses couleurs pendant l’automne. C’est vraiment beau.
Hier, ma blonde et moi ont décidé de faire une petite promenade en voiture pour voir toutes les couleurs. C’était impressionnant. Les arbres vont rester comme ça pour les deux prochaines semaines et puis touts les feuilles vont commencer à tomber.
Je pense que l’automne est ma saison préféré ici au Québec. La température est parfait et j’adore le changement des couleurs.
Quel est votre saison préféré et pourquoi?

Ein Brief über einen neuen Freund
Liebe Mia,
ich schreibe dir zu reden, wie ich letzten Monat einen neuen Freund getroffen habe. Wie du weißt, gehe ich jeden Montag, nachdem ich mit der Schule fertig bin, mit meinen Freunden Fußball spielen. Es war ein ganz normaler Tag, aber plötzlich hat einer meiner Freunde mir anrufen zu sagen, dass er sein Bein gebrochen hat und dass wir einen neuen Spieler finden müssen. Nach eine Stunde haben wir jemanden gefunden. Das war Johann. Bis dann habe ich nie mit ihm gesprochen. Als wir zu spielen angefangen haben, konnte ich sofort sehen, dass wir eine gute Verbindung haben. Wir beide haben ein paar Tore geschossen und danach waren wir sehr glücklich. Ein paar Tage später haben wir angefangen, häufig miteinander zu sprechen, Nachrichten zu schicken und so weiter. Jetzt sind wir sehr gute Freunde. Ich mag ihm weil er sehr humorvoll ist, aber er kann auch mit dir über sehr ernste Themen sprechen. Und was gefällt mir am meisten, ist dass er sehr spontan ist. Ich kann mich immer auf ihn verlassen. Und ja, das ist alles, was ich dir sagen wollte. Ich hoffe, dass wir uns bald sehen können.
Ganz herzliche Grüße
Dein B

Pociąg
Dzisiaj jechałem pociągiem. Mój podróż trwał trzy godziny - to niezbyt długo, szczególnie za czterysta pięćdziesiąt kilometrów, ale nigdy nie wiem co zrobić w pociągu, więc "czuję" te trzy godziny: po francusku powiedziałbym "widzę przechodzący czas". Jak jest dość wysoki, podroże pociągiem nie są mi wygodno. Zawsze wybiorę siedzenie w stronie korytarzu, zatem nie cieszę się widokiem...
We Francji jeżdżą pociągi z wysokiej prędkości, są środki transportu szybki i dość tani. Za pytanie rentowności wiele tych pociągów przejeżdżą pod Paryżem, gdzie jeżdżą powolniej. To jest tak.
W dzisiejszym pociągu był mężczyzna, który dużo kaszlał. Oczywiście, nie nosił maskę. Uważam, że ten rodzaj osób jest znak, który jest brak szacunku i też oznacza, że w naszym społeczeństwie rosnie indywidualizm: coraz mniej często martwimy się o innym. Mam nadzieję, że tylko jest wrażenie!

Des chats ou des chiens?
Une question commune est «tu préfère quel, des chats ou des chiens?». À mon avis, je ne peux pas choisir entre les deux. Toute ma vie, j'avais des chats et chiens. Au total, quatre chats et trois chiens.
Ça semble que un chat a besoin moins de travail. Vous devez nettoyer le bac à litière et leur donner d'eau et de nourriture. Mais, avec un chien, c'est important que vous prennent des promenades, de préférence tous les jours. Aussi, souvent les chiens veulent plus d'attention.
Maintenant, j'ai deux chiens, mais aucunes chats. Je les voudrais, mais je ne crois qu'il est un bon moment pour plusieurs raisons que sont difficile à expliquer. Mais qui sait. Je crois que je vais avoir un autre chat un jour. Pour l'instant, j'ai mes chiens.

Travailler seul ou en équipe ?
Je pense qu’en fait il y a des fois quand c’est mieux à travailler seul, et d’autres quand c’est mieux à travailler en équipe. J’ai connu les deux pendant mon histoire de travail. Je crois que les lieux de travail de nos jours sont vraiment ordonnés pour bosser plus efficacement seul. C’est vrai que beaucoup des tâches professionnelles, au moins vu que la manière dans laquelle le travail est partagé à l’heure actuelle, sont au mieux accomplis par une seule personne. Mais on sait que les équipes sont vachement mieux pour développer des solutions créatives contre des problèmes épineux. Donc peut-être que les lieux de travail doivent focaliser plus sur le travail en équipe.

Le notizie e noi
El web permette di creare fili di notizie in tempo reale e chiuque può registrare, diffondere e cambiare informazioni. Oggi, quando due ubriachi si picchiano in un bar di Buenos Aires, un lettore connesso ad Internet in Shanghai può saperlo in 30 seconde. È realmente utile? Non lo penso.
Ritengo che il cuore del problema sia il trattamento delle informazioni. Oggi, i mass media hanno una logica di mercato. La cosa più importante non è informare la gente correttamente, ma fare soldi. Siamo inondati da notizie insignificanti, e da articoli sensazionalisti che mantengono un'atmosfera di paura tra la popolazione, o al contrario, che la addormentano con un tono falsamente rassicurante. Oltre ad essere incolti, molti giornalisti hanno una deontologia discotabile e preferiscono dire ai lettori cosa pensare, invece di presentare fatti oggettivi e lasciargli fare le loro conclusioni.
Potrei parlare anche delle relazioni tra i giornalisti e il mondo politico o economico... So che si deve evitare argomenti politici, ma vorrei citare l'esempio delle elezioni presidenziali: quasi tutti i grandi mezzi di informazione hanno ritrasmissi lo storytelling di Emmanuel Macron in un tono molto laudativo... Mi pareceva che leggessi agiografie!
Se una notizia è importante per la vostra vita, è probabile che non ne sentiate molto parlare (ma saprete tutto sull'ultima zuffa dei vanitosi di Instagram o di YouTube) o che sia trattata male. Perciò, è normale che la gente non si senta connessa alle notizie: non la informano correttamente e hanno un effetto deletario sulla salute emozionale e mentale.
Sono spiacente, so che neanch'io sono oggettivo qui: naturalmente, ci sono ancora buoni giornalisti che siguono la Carta di Monaco. Tuttavia, credo che sia difficile informarsi bene ora. Il sistema ha problemi e tutte le deviazioni che vediamo non mi rendono ottimistico per l'avvenire.
