rather learn through books and from teachers. Think of learning a new language. Which
way do you think is a better way to learn a language?
Full essay
Many language teachers agreed that two best way to learn a new language are through
books, attend an language center, find a language teacher or learning by doing through
conversion classed, communicate with native speakers, etc. But no one knows for sure
which one is better
A lot of people think the best way to learn a new language is force to use it, you are
learning by doing. Therefore, they immerse themselves, they find to speak with native
speakers, or even go to foreign countries to learn that countrys language.
It is true that thrust into an environment where are forced to use language in
communicate needs, people pick up the basics surprising quick. Native speakers can help
them expand vocabulary, pronunciation or use grammar and idiom correctly. Therefore,
learning by doing tend to have good accents than the others.
However, according to studies by experts, in fact, most American does not speak English
very well, even those who have lived for 20 years. The reason is simply because in
everyday life, you can communicate quite well without using good grammar or even
good pronunciation. That result means learning by doing have a big hole and seems not
be a good way to learn a language.
On the other hands, learning a language through books and from teachers can establish a
strong foundation to you. The teachers can teach you the basics things when use a
language, so you can learn language in a good and effective way. Furthermore, they can
fix your language mistakes and support you use grammar correctly. A good book is also a
good tool for your learning. But in almost students opinions, that method is lack of
critics or ambitions to improve their skill. So someone might loses their interest and give
up real quick.
In my opinion, there is no best way to learn anything, not only learning a language,
because everyone learns slightly differently. However, some methods appear to be more
effective than others. Hence you can first start learn through books and teachers. After
your skills are improved and you feel competent enough, you can try learning by doing.
The most important thing is remember, it may hard and waste times, but it is worth the
effort.
Essay:
In 1712, Peter I of Russia moved his government from Moscow to Saint Petersburg to
give the Russian Empire a western orientation. The Ming Emperors of ancient China
moved their capital to more central Beijing from Nanjing as to better supervise the
borders with Mongols and Manchus. Throughout history, in many part of the world,
governments have moved their capital mostly because of economic or strategic reasons.
Moving the capital is a big decision and must be considered in prior years. Firstly, the
cost is a massive huge. A capital of a country is often the central of cultural, economics
and politics. Therefore, relocate capital also means relocate all the infrastructure,
economic industrial, head office, etc. Another thing is, this work may affect in life of
almost citizen and causes a lot of troubles.
On the other hand, a new location will bring a good opportunity for a country. In most
cases, the new location have geographically convenience allows growth and can respond
to challenges.
In my opinion, I support to move our current capital to a new place. Although we are
celebrating a great ceremony to commemorate a thousand year of Hanoi, the historical
advantages that led Hanoi becomes the capital no longer exist. According to the studies
of Harvard University in 2007, poor infrastructure, overpopulation, urbanization are
serious problems with Hanoi at that time. If Hanoi remains the capital, it will not only be
a burden to the whole nation but also a dead end to the city. Hence, I support government
should move the capital to a medium size in the Middle are of the country like Danang or
Hue, even Hochiminh city. Those cities have more geographical convenience that support
development, foreign trade, etc,
