Self Study

In today's global society, knowing a new language has become essential. Being fluent in a foreign
language will give you an edge in studies, business and even travel. Almost all learning of a language
other than the mother tongue is done in schools. However, for me, self-study is the best way to
determine if you understand the new language well.
Classroom study is not enough because it is limited in terms of time. With self-study, students can
study at home or anywhere when they want. They can learn languages easily through a number of
tools. All they need is a phone, or a book. Learners can turn hobbies such as reading books, watching
movies into an aid in language learning. For example, when watching an English movie, we can listen
to the actors talk to get used to their voices and how they use sentence structure in specific situations.
Next, we can learn more sesame words through song lyrics or language books.
Another way to learn languages is to join study groups. On weekends, instead of playing games or
wasting time, we can spend some free time to join English clubs. The clubs provide an open English
environment, enabling us to communicate confidently and recognize our mistakes. This makes us
more interested in learning the language, talking with native speakers will encourage us to learn more
about this language.
Finally, for anyone who wants to study effectively, there must be a clear, specific plan. Once the focus
has been determined, the work must be arranged reasonably in terms of both content and time,
especially focusing on completing each part shown in the plan. That will help the learning process
proceed smoothly. Planning what to learn first, what to learn later not only helps to manage and save
time, but also helps us to systematize what we have learned in a scientific way. The self-study plan
must be realistic and flexible, suitable to their conditions, so that learners can master their time and do
not become passive.
In short, self-study helps people to acquire knowledge actively and comprehensively. In addition, self-
studying a language helps students gain a better understanding of the world, builds self-confidence,
and fosters personal creativity. That's why self-study is the best way for people to learn a foreign
language.
Communication between men and women
All of us have different styles of communicating. Communication style depends on a lot of things, it
could be living environment, education level, or age. In general, there are differences in
communication between men and women. It's a difference in directness, interaction, and attitude.
In conversations, men often offer direct, affirmative statements, such as "It's nice today," or "Can you
buy me some eggs at the store?". In addition, males tend to speak loudly, and often cause arguments in
communication to prevail. It is derived from the living environment, education level, or upbringing he
received. A well-educated man will usually speak softly, without causing unnecessary arguments. On
the other hand, research by Susan Herring shows that on Internet forums, masculins are more assertive
than masculines, and they enjoy or at least can tolerate insulting others online.
In contrast, women talk indirectly with the purpose of observing how the other person is, agreeing
with her opinion or not. According to linguist Lakoff, females often show more politeness than males
by using question tags. For example, women often say, "It's nice today, isn't it?". Unlike men, women
talk softly, choose to cooperate in communication to talk in an understanding way, can talk more about
a certain topic. A woman who speaks softly and thoughtfully will easily get people's sympathy,
because the volume of her words will reflect her inner self.
In short, men and women talk differently, and communication styles are also different. That can cause
unnecessary misunderstandings in communication, so we need to learn to better understand how to
communicate in each gender.
Online learning
In today's global society, education is an integral part of everyone's life. Most teaching takes place in a
classroom with an instructor, textbook, and students. However, in my opinion, one of the best ways to
learn is online. Online learning is tailored to the individual and often takes place in a low-stress
environment.
Studying in class is not suitable for many people because of time constraints and transportation costs.
With online learning, students can study at home or anywhere. They can learn easily through several
tools. All they need is a phone and an Internet connection. With online classes, students do not need to
travel long distances. For example, an office worker might join her online class on her lunch break.
In addition, online courses provide the opportunity to create a highly social learning environment that
allows students and teachers to participate and interact. And group study is an important way for
students to gain experience, share diverse perspectives in critical thinking and deepen their
understanding of the material they have learned. Students in an online learning environment are
responsible for their own learning. In this way, students have the opportunity to express their views, be
more active in thinking and flexible in applying old and new knowledge.
Ultimately, online learning takes place in a low-stress environment, a private environment, with no one
around. In the traditional classroom, each student has different levels and different needs, the
atmosphere can create a fear of making mistakes in the students, they are afraid to express their
thoughts because of the fear of making mistakes. make mistakes or appear stupid in front of others.
Online learning solves all these problems, alone with the phone, many students can make great
progress and have no fear.
In short, online learning brings low cost, learners can do them at any time. In addition, it is special in
that many people no longer feel afraid of making mistakes in front of others when studying in a private
space. That's why online learning is one of the best ways to learn.
Qualities to success
We live in a world where young people act as torchbearers for a future that leads to success. To stay
firmly on this path, each person must train himself in the essential qualities for the journey. This helps
you overcome challenges and not give up easily.
To me, success is not just about winning but also how you deal with failure. Not many people have a
smooth first day of their career. However, those who are patient continue to draw experiences, learn
lessons and make corrections, and there is still hope. But if you stop, it will be a failure forever.
Therefore, not only in work, but also in life, patience is always a necessary virtue to help you step by
step towards success. Patience helps you spot mistakes, revise your plan, and gradually grow stronger.
The second door to success is "a visionary". Thinking somewhere or going there will not help you reap
great results. It takes a clear mind to set big goals. But the goal needs to be realistic, this largely
depends on your perception and assessment. You need to know what you want to do and how to
achieve it. Taking the time to properly plan, develop a strategy step by step is a virtue that will help
you succeed.
Always on time, sounds simple, but not everyone can do it. Sometimes it's only the small things in
treatment and communication that you can see the qualities of a person. One of the virtues common to
all successful people is that they view time as a valuable resource. They use time extremely rationally
and logically. They are never late, slow or buy up their own and others' time. Being on time creates a
serious work ethic, making you more polite and appreciated. It's also how you respect others. To make
it easier to succeed, the first thing you need to do is organize your life to become more scientific. It
forms your habit of politeness and humanity.
In summary, I think people should cultivate and form for themselves good qualities if they want to
achieve success in the current world. Simply because success is not only in talent but also in character.
Bicycles and cars
In a rapidly evolving technology environment, we can see many types of vehicles on the streets.
Bicycles and cars are two types of vehicles that I want to talk about. Both are used to bring people to a
specific place. While they are similar in providing transportation, there are certainly some differences
as well.
In my opinion, depending on the purpose and distance of travel, it is decided to use a car or a bicycle.
If you have to travel for a long journey, then a car saves a lot of time. It helps people use their time
more efficiently than spending hours on a bicycle. With the hustle and bustle of the city, cars also help
people reach their destination earlier, protecting people from bad weather or dense fog. In addition,
they are very comfortable and convenient. Each car is equipped with modern systems such as air
conditioning system and entertainment system, helping people relieve stress or feel excited after
moments of hard work.
On the other hand, cycling also brings many benefits. The first is to direct people to a healthy lifestyle.
Since bicycles move slowly, they allow us to enjoy the view of the city and effectively relieve stress.
Cycling can protect us from dangerous diseases like stroke, heart attack, or some cancers. Moreover,
bicycle is an environmentally friendly means of transport, cycling does not harm the environment.
Therefore, people should be strongly encouraged to cycle for short distances, which significantly
contributes to raising public awareness of environmental protection.
In a nutshell, bicycles and cars work with the same mobility needs, but they have many differences in
function and purpose. That's how people should consider their circumstances and conditions carefully
to choose the right type of transport.
Grow up
I was always a child, I never imagined how I would grow up, and what I would do in that period. But I
realized that I should grow up quickly because I was facing a big challenge, which was living away
from my parents when I entered the university environment.
There are so many difficulties that I have to overcome. Living away from home made me fall into the
situation of "alone" handling everything. I could get sick and have no one around to take care of me.
Conflicts with roommates and non-stop quarrels. I don't know well about the routes and get lost. Or
have trouble with admission documents. All these problems caused me to learn how to manage on my
own in many different ways such as taking good care of my health, learning the route carefully before
going, or preparing all kinds of documents. I "struggled" myself to find solutions to my problems.
Housework and expenses are also one of the factors that help me grow up. Cooking, cleaning, or
draining. All the housework I have never had to do before will now be my responsibility when living
away from home. Having to take care of my own health and meals, I will have to learn how to cook,
make the most of thrifty shopping options. Understanding the value of money, I was more responsible
with the money that my family provided and thought more carefully before spending.
The last thing that helped me know I was an adult was when I realized that I care more about my
family than I thought. There were times when I felt regret because I had spent less time with my
family in the past. I naturally miss the food my mother cooks. When my legs are tired, I remember
many lessons that I have learned from my parents. I count down the days to vacation to be with my
family. Those things made me realize that I have to appreciate the moment I spend with my family
more.
In short, when I started a life in a completely new environment, without my parents by my side. I
realized that I have really grown up. I am more mature in both thought and action. That helps me to
have an independent life without having to depend on anyone else.
Art
In the history of society, art has been an integral part of our lives. Art plays a fundamental role in
society as artists can express their thoughts and culture in their work. And painting is a typical field
used by many people to convey everything. In this essay, I will talk about "Girl with a Pearl Earring"
by Johannes Vermeer.
"Girl with a Pearl Earring" is an oil-on-canvas painting that ranks alongside the works of the best
Dutch portrait painters. This famous painting also known as "Head of a Girl with a Turban", is not a
portrait but a study of a girl's head. The subject of the painting is just a simple head of a girl looking
over her shoulder at the viewer. No hints are offered other than its atmospheric dark tones.
The most notable feature of this painting is the girl's giant teardrop-shaped pearl earring. This pearl
earring, maybe together with the girl's turban, can reveal the meaning of the picture. It seems that the
pearl earring in Vermeer's painting symbolizes purity. It seems that the message of the picture, women
should protect their ears from unclean words, and they should only allow them to hear pure words.
In addition to its compelling setting and aesthetic, the work is celebrated for the mystery that
surrounds it. "Girl with a Pearl Earring" showed viewers the Dutch Golden Age. During this era,
Enlightenment artists found inspiration in Northern Renaissance painting techniques, culminating in
masterpieces like Johannes Vermeer's "Girl With a Pearl Earring."
In short, although "Girl With a Pearl Earring" is shrouded in mystery, it has become one of the most
beloved paintings in art history. From there, it can be seen that each picture shows different meanings
and cultures. Painting always brings inspiration to artists and viewers.
