Learning English with Web2english

In this essay, I will write about my learning with Web2englsh. I really enjoyed learning with Web2english very much. I learned many things, like Web2english makes me read more. I didn’t like reading in English much but now I like to read other people’s blogs and all the comments. It’s was very interesting for me to know what and how people think. Ten weeks ago, I didn’t feel confident when I spoke English, especially with a native speaker. I found it hard to understand non-native speakers too but now I’m getting better. My writing was very bad but when I started learning and I had to put my writing into the blog. It made me think a lot about everything about my writing. My writing is getting better. When I speak Thai, the tone will go up and down but not with English. It was hard to pronounce with R and L too. Again, I had to speak on the podcast for everybody to listen. It made me really work hard because every podcast I spoke at least 4 times before publishing. Now my speaking is getting better.
In the future, I would like to continue study English. If I can choose I prefer to learn with web2english and also with the same group. In regard to web2english, all 9 modules were very interesting topics because they made me learn a lot and not only language. Finally, I have to say thank you for your support and working very hard with this course. I know that you are very busy but you still do it for me.

Country versus city living in Thailand

In this essay, I will write about good and bad things between country and city living in Thailand.

There are many good things about living in the country. First, there is fresh air and no pollution. When I was a child at my home town most people walked or rode bicycles. Second, it is peaceful and relaxing with no competition about anything. Third, people are friendly; everybody in the country know each other and are helpful. Fourth, there is no spending for food because people usually have their own farm with animals and vegetables or catch fish from the river. However, there are also some bad things. First, transportation is not good. It‘s not convenient to go anywhere. Also, there are not many schools; sometimes children have to walk very far to school. Moreover hospitals are too far and there are only small clinics in towns. Finally, there are no shopping malls, restaurants or cinemas. Some villages even haven’t got water or electricity.
There are some good things about living in the city. First, there are a lot of opportunities. Second, you can go anywhere with good transportation. Third, there are so many good schools for children. Fourth, when you get sick, the hospitals are everywhere. But there are also some bad things. First, things are so expensive. Also, people are not friendly and they are so competitive when working, studying or even when you want to get on the bus you have to fight for that. In additional, pollution is very bad, can you imagine many people stuck on the bus for an hour in the middle of the road with the air pollution and noise pollution.


In the future, I would like to live in the country somewhere near the sea. My dream house would be a small wooden house with big garden up on the mountain.

Protecting the environment

In this essay I will write about protecting the environment. There are many things that we can do to protect the environment. First, we must drive a small car because it can help save petrol. We should use a bucket when we wash our car. Next, we need to eat everything and not throw food away. Think about people in some country where they don’t have enough food to eat. Then, we should use shopping bags or reuse the old plastic bags. Also, if we can reuse bottle or papers, we should do it. In my country, we can sell old newspapers, plastic bags, and bottles back to companies. Then, the companies reuse them.
Even if you can save electricity and water, you can also help the environment too. At my house we switch off and unplug everything if we don’t use them. Finally, try to separate the garbage and put the garbage in the right place. If we do all these things, the environment will get better.
