LINGQ.COM (review)

I study English at school, but knowledge, which I acquire there is not for me. I often look trough websites, which help me to read and understand texts in English. Recently I found a very helpful site. It is lingq.com.

It has a lot of advantages. You can listen there stories and at the same moment read the texts. It helps people to become familiar with foreign languages. All texts are translated to Polish and you can easily remember incomprehensible words. Anywhere you are. When you hear it, your subconscious listens for you and you still learn all the time. What is more this is a place, where you can talk to native speakers and improve your  English. Apart from that in this website everything is free. You do not have to pay for a premium account or recordings.

Lingq has only one minus, which I noticed. Everything there is in English, so if you do not know this language very well, you will have a problem to understand it. Still I visit this website everyday and I know that my comprehension of English speech is better and better.

If you are hungry for knowledge, this site is ideal for you. It will change the way you think about foreign languages. See the website and find out for yourself.

PRIVATE TUTORING, PRIVATE TEACHERS BEFORE MATURA EXAM - FOR AND AGAINST (essay)


S.P.

Nowadays more and more young people  before going in for 
the matura exam use private tutoring to prepare themselves to the examinations.
Is is recently becoming common because most students would like to achieve
as high result as possible. There are a lot of advantages of such a phenomenon
but we could also find some negative sides.

First of all, young people taking extra lessons with private teachers
have more chances to gain better result in matura exam.
They have got their own teachers, who spend all their time
with them, talking, doing many exercises and giving precious advice.
Furthermore, taking extra lessons let develop intrests, spend time
valuably and get additional knowledge.

On the other hand, private tutoring takes free time after school when
sometimes  young person just feels very tired. It seems impossible
to be concentrated all day long, which makes such tutoring ineffective.
Moreover, students usually have to go long way to get there.
Consequently, they may waste valuable time which can be spend learning.
What is more, we have to pay for these lessons, which means a young
person has to resigne of his/her costly hobbies or expenses.

Taking everything into consideration, using extra lessons
has priceless influence on the results of students' examinations.
However, that way of learning requires their time and dedication.
After all, I think it is worth.
