IELTS Writing Task 2 Essay
In some countries, most people prefer to rent their homes rather than buying them. What are the advantages and disadvantages of renting a home?
Renting accommodation is a more preferred option than purchasing one in certain nations. While renting offers benefits, it also comes with its fair share of drawbacks.
Renting a home can offer advantages. First, its initial costs, including a security deposit and perhaps the first month's rent, are much smaller compared to the substantial down payment and regular mortgage payments required when buying a house. Renting also does not entail ongoing homeownership costs such as property taxes, repairs, maintenance, or fees for homeowner associations. As a result, renters can have more money available for their other priorities and investments. Second, renting allows for easy relocation without the complications of selling and purchasing new property. This is particularly beneficial when circumstances necessitate a change in location, such as when the rented room no longer aligns with one's preferences and needs or when promising job opportunities arise in faraway regions.
However, renting can also pose challenges. While homeowners can eventually pay off their mortgage and fully own their property, renters continue to have ongoing housing expenses. In times of financial hardships, such as job loss, paying rent can become challenging, leading to housing insecurity. Additionally, renting means limited control over living conditions. Major decisions about renovations, improvements, or even simple changes may require the landlord's approval. This lack of control can be frustrating for those who wish to personalize their living space. There may also be the possibility of renovation, reconstruction, or discontinuation of lease agreements from landlords, which can disrupt tenants’ living situation.
In conclusion, while renting a property can offer reduced costs and ease of relocation, it also comes with a lack of control over living conditions and housing security.

Una nueva vida: día 3
¡Qué pena! He pasado toda la noche en el baño, vomitando las setas de ayer, y otras cosas. Conocí mejores noches, pero así son las cosas.
En la mañana me sentaba mejor, aunque sólo un poco. Tome algunas hierbas para preparar una infusión: manzanilla, ortiga, hojas de frambuesos y reina de los prados. Al principio, quise entender lo que había pasado: saber todo de las setas. Pero luego de mi infusión, me di cuenta de que no iba a ser un día fácil y que lo único que importaba fue de pasarlo de un modo lo más dulce que fuera posible.
Por eso, puse unos leños en la estufa, me asenté al lado con una manta espesa y un libro. Después de un tiempo, me dormí un rato, al despertar, la estufa estaba fría. La recargué, cociné un poco de arroz y tomé un gran chocolate.
La tarde se pasó rápidamente con una siesta para empezar, pues jugué un ratito con los dados. Al atardecer, me obligué a salir un corto momento, me lavé y después el viento y el agua fría, fue un placer estar de vuelta a la estofa. No comí y me descansé aquí la mayor parte de la noche.

Dennoch, werde ich schreiben, dass ich glaube, dass ich ein Fan von Geoff Johns geworden bin.

freie Musikwahl
Bei meinem Vertrag geht es um freie Musikwahl. Das Thema ist für mich äußerst reizvoll.Man muss nicht übersehen, dass sich die Musikindustrie im Laufe der Zeit afgrund der technologischen Revolution der Menscheit stark weiterentwickelt hat. Demzufolge wird es nicht kaum Cd oder Audiokasette verwendet. Statdesen nehmen Menschen einige Platforme wie zum Beispiel Youtube bzw. Spotify in Anspruch , um Musike zu hören.
Für die freie Musik spricht die Tatsache, dass man sich im Internet nach eigenem Geschmak für eine Musik entscheiden kann. Darüber hinaus kann es dort umsont Musik heruntergeladen werden. Es ist erwähnenswert , dass im Internet eine vielfältige Auswahl an Musik zur Verfügung steht ,wenn man einfach einen Musikname tippt/eingibt.
Andererseits hat das einige Probleme zur Folge. Es darf nicht außer Acht gelassen werden , dass beim illegalen Herunterladen die Rechte der Musiker verletzt werden. Deshalb müssen dagegen einige Maßnahmen egriffen werden, um dem entgegenzuwirken. Beispielsweise können wir Musikern finanziell unterstützen, indem wir einen kleinen Beitrag leisten, wenn wir ihre Musik kostenlos hören.
Ich bin der Meinung, dass das Internet die Möglichkeit bietet, alles fast alles kostenlos verwenden, auch was Musike angeht. Jedoch sollten wir die Rechte der Künstler schützen.
Was die Situation im meinem Heimtatland betrifft , möchte ich betonen , dass aktuell das Herunterladen von Inhalten nicht illegal ist. Allerdings sollten wir Menschen dafür sensibilisieren , die Rechte im Auge zu behalten und respektvoll mit Eigentum umzugehen.
Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen , dasss die freie Musikwahl sowohl Vorteile als auch Schattenseiten mit sich bringt.

Einführung in den Positivismus (V)
Nach der Unordnung der französischer Revolution, versuchen bestimmten Intellektuelle eine neue Ordnung durch eine Sozialreform. Ein von diese ist Saint-Simon, der ,,Le Catéchisme des industriels'' (,,Der Katechismus der Industrielle'') und ,,Le Nouveau Christianisme'' (,,Das neues Christentum'') schrieb. Er glaubt, dass, nach der ,,société organique''(,,organische Gesellschaft'') des ,,ancien régime'' (,,alte Regime''), die Gesellschaft seiner Zeit kritische und vorübergehende ist; doch kann eine neue ,,société organique'' sich bilden. Aber basiert diese ,,société'' auf dem Glauben an die Wissenschaft, während basiert diese erste auf dem Glauben an Gott. Diese neue Gesellschaft ist daher von Wissenschaftler und Industrielle geführte, und basiert es auf der Wissenschaft und der Industrie. Außerdem, ist es gut, zu betonen, dass diese Ideen den Sozialismus des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts beeinflussen.

Az egyik nyári szünetben én is elmentem egy utazásra. Erdélyt akartam felfedezni, de úgy sikerült, hogy Kárpátaljára mentem, és Románia északi részeire is. Nagyon érdekes utazás volt. Az idegenvezető Erdéyről származott, magyarul és románul tudott. Sokat beszélgettem vele. Azt mondta, nem nagyon ismeri a német irodalmat. Viszont felhívta a figyelmemet Terézia Mórára. Az "Alle Tage", magyarul "Minden nap" könyve nagy élményt jelentett a számomra. Az is egy olyan emberről szól, aki egy másik kultúrában él, de csak akkor találja ott a helyét, amikor már elvesztette az emlékezetét.
Sok ember most megpróbál más kultúrában élni. Ez a határtalan világ vívmánya. Még nem tartunk ott, hogy ezt megfelelően hasznosítani is tudná az ember. Én úgy gazdagodtam meg Magyarországon, hogy megtanultam valamennyire a magyar nyelvet és még most is minden nap tanulok valami újat.

Amikor az állami iskolában kezdtem el dolgozni, ez a kreatív légkör valahogy megszűnt. Az írás helyett sokat olvastam, a magyar irodalom helyett inkább németet olvastam. De most is volt sok felfedeznivaló. Érdekelt, hogy milyen irányba fejlődik az irodalom a német újraegyesülés után. Azt láttam, hogy most a volt NDK területén sok volt az új író, vagy egyáltalán olyan író, aki onnan jött. Sok mondanivalójuk volt, mert megváltozott minden. Később azok az írások érdekeltek, amelyekben az írók a megváltozott világot vagy olyan időszakot ábrázoltak a történelemben, amelyik hasonlít a maihoz. Ilija Trojanov "Der Weltensammler" című regényre gondolok, amely egy utazóról szól, aki más népek közt úgy élt, mintha hozzájuk tartózott volna.

Please Review My IELTS Essay
The prevention of health problems and illness is more important than treatment and medicine. Government funding should reflect this. To what extent do you agree?
Some believe that governments should allocate more funds towards preventive measures for health issues rather than treatment and medication because "prevention is better than cure." I wholeheartedly agree.
Firstly, preventing diseases or detecting them early can result in substantial cost savings for both individuals and the healthcare system as a whole. Consider the United States, where it is estimated that approximately $200 billion is spent annually on healthcare costs associated with obesity alone. If even a modest fraction of that expenditure were allocated to initiatives such as public health campaigns, incentives for physical activity, and subsidies for healthy food, the country could potentially avoid such enormous spending. Therefore, by prioritizing prevention, governments can save a significant amount of public money.
Secondly, prevention is the most effective approach when dealing with certain chronic diseases. For instance, government campaigns aimed at educating people about the dangers of smoking or excessive sun exposure have proven highly effective in reducing rates of lung and skin cancer. Similarly, when it comes to countering infectious diseases, preventive measures play a major role. Prevention is also the optimal approach to combat infectious diseases. Imagine a scenario where governments worldwide had not implemented social distancing, mask mandates, travel restrictions, lockdowns, stay-at-home orders, testing and contact tracing, vaccination campaigns, and various other proactive steps. Even with effective medications that can treat the disease, the COVID-19 pandemic would likely have remained in the alarming stages.
In conclusion, government funding should prioritize preventing health issues over curing them because such an approach better ensures the well-being of citizens and can make substantial savings in public funds.

E-book (2)
It is tempting to think that the medium doesn’t matter, that what matters is the content. But that would be a fallacy. There are several reports stating that the medium has an influence on our concentration ability. Allegedly, people reading on paper are able to retain more information that the ones reading on screen. Other reports assert that the reason lies in the fact that humans need a physical object in order to build an emotional relationship. That wouldn’t be possible with a digital book.
Of course digital books have a lot of undeniable advantages. So, why cannot we make use of the best of both worlds? Some readers prefer using a screen for reads at work, or for some theoretically quicker and shallower ones (such as science-fiction or detective novels). For more difficult matters they would rather go for a paper edition.
Nevertheless, I have serious doubts that science-fiction and detective novels can be classified that way!

The UK Issues - mortgage
This morning, I spoke to my online English teacher. She told me some real things about current issues in the UK.
She said that she was strongly against the former Prime Minister Brexit, he launched a referendum making the UK leave the European Union years ago, resulting in regular English people have to apply for an extra working visa if they want to work in the EU nations. And she also said that in the past years, due to economic problems, the mortgage of houses or flats has raised from 0.5% to around 4.5% and even 7%. For most British, however, their income hasn't increased. Additionally, her daughter also met employment problems in Britain, so her daughter planned to find a job in Italy. Unfortunately, her application visa for work was refused a week ago.
I don't understand why the mortgages can be sharply increased, this is really bad for people who have to pay monthly for it. In my country, we also meet serious problems related to real estate, in contrast, the mortgage for house loans decreased from approximately 5.1% to around 4.3%, and some can be lower as 3%.

Budapest (21)
Mindig amikor Budapestre jött a barátom, sokat utaztunk. Így megismerkedtem Magyarország szép helyeikkel is. Mások között emlékezetesek a Balaton, a Mecsek, a Bükk, a Hortobágy. A barátom sokat fényképezett, néha videofelvételeket is készített, én pedig szineszkedtem. Egyre jobban érdeklődtem a rendezői és színészi munka iránt. Sokat jártam moziba, mivel Budapesten az art-moziknak jó színvonala volt. Akadtam egy fiatal magyar rendezőre, aki valami olyasmit kifejezett, amit a barátom fényképein is láttam, vagy fordítva. Az "Altamira" nevű filmjét láttam, és a film utáni beszélgetésben azt mondta, hogy a mai graffitik olyanok, mint a rajzok a barlangokban. Egy barlangra gondoltam, amely Budapest közelében van, és amely fölött a barátommal már sokszor elsétáltunk. Azt mondták, hogy ebben a barlangban is rajzokat találtak, és hogy ez a terület ősidők óta lakott volt. Ott egy kis egylyukú híd is van egy patak felett. Mindig amikor arra jártunk, az első emberekre gondoltam. Így a művészet is besétált az életembe és elkezdtem írni. Az, amit láttam a moziban, amit olvastam, főleg magyar irodalmat, és amit nap mint nap tapasztaltam, inspirált.

Apprendre cuisiner à un jeune âge
J’ aimais toujours cuisiner. Dès un jeune âge, je portais mon tablier et mon chapeau et avec un bol et un cuillère en bois, j’aidais ma mère préparer les repas. Ce dont je me souviens, c’est mélanger les salades, faire les sandwichs et couper les fruits. Comme adulte, j’ai commencé collectionner les livres de recette. J’en avais beaucoup. Mes livres de recettes préférés étaient ceux avec beaucoup de photos.
Lorsque mes filles grandissaient, j’ai acheté un livre de cuisine faite pour les enfants. C’était une bande dessinées et mes filles l’adoraient. J’ai de merveilleux souvenirs de nous cuisiner chaque week-end. Ma fille aînée adorait faire des biscuits et l’autre fille préparerait toujours des tartes au chocolat. Après chaque séance de cuisson, la farine, la sucre et la beurre étaient partout. Je me souviens d’avoir rigolé beaucoup et d’avoir bien amusé.
Hier, j’ai lu un article qu’il s’agissait une jeune fille qui a écrit un livre de recette. Elle n’a que 8 ans. Apparemment, elle a eu l’idée de le faire pour que ses copains puissent refaire ses recettes.

Lunedì
Mi sono svegliata davvero presto, alle sei e mezzo. Devo abituarmi di nuovo a un orario diverso.
Stamattina ho studiato un po' d'italiano ( per mezz'ora ) e poi mi sono preparata a lavorare. Cerco di non lamentarmi di un programma così mattutino.
Preferisco essere mattiniera ad essere dormiglione. Dopo aver bevuto due caffè mi sono sentita piena di energie, quindi sono riuscita a fare ormai molti dei miei compiti.
Dopo aver finito il turno, uscirò a fare una passeggiata. Pioveva quando mi sono svegliata, spero che pioverà di nuovo quando uscirò.
Molta gente preferisca l'estate, ma a me dispiace. Ho aspetatto quest'aria fresca, le piogge, le foglie ingiallite.
Lavoro da quasi 4 ore, ne sono rimaste solo 4 e mezzo finché non finisco il lavoro.
A domani!

Une recette : gâteau Hummingbird
Ma fille et son mari vont passer le week-end chez nous. J’ai décidé de préparer un gâteau spécial pour célébrer l’occasion. Pour leurs visites précédentes, une fois, j’ai préparé un gâteau de chocolat et l’autre fois un gâteau de banane. Je sais qu’ils sont leurs gâteaux préférés. Cependant, cette fois-ci, je voudrais cuire un gâteau que je n’ai jamais essayé.
J’ai parlé à mes amis et j’ai lu de nombreuses recettes sur l’internet. Enfin, le choix était entre un gâteau Hummingbird ou un gâteau de betterave. Les ingrédients principaux du premier sont les bananes et l’ananas. Les ingrédients principaux du deuxième sont évidemment la betterave et le chocolat.
Alors, j’ai décidé de préparer le Hummingbird puisque la méthode était très simple. Ses ingrédients étaient la farine auto levante, l’huile, la noix de coco desséchée, la purée de banane, l’ananas écrasé, un peu de cannelle et deux œufs. En bref, on mélange tous ces ingrédients et on le cuit pendant une heure et demi.

Painful Memories
Every time I recall the situations of me taking vehicles in the nineties, I still feel horrified.
My first workplace was in a county that was in another city, so from my home village to that county was a long distance, about two hundred kilometers.
At that time, I only returned home before Chinese New Year. When I went to my workplace after the New Year, I had to go to a town near my village to take a long-distance bus. Since the bus was not departing from the town, when it arrived in the town, it was already full of passengers.
Every time I took the bus, I always needed my older brother to help. He threw my luggage into the bus through the bus windows first, and then he tried his best to push me into the car from the crowd. He often disliked me for being a coward. Every time he helped me to get on the bus, he was panting with fatigue, but was very proud.
One time, I took a bus to Hangzhou. Many passengers didn't have seats. They could only stand on the bus shoulder by shoulder. I was the one among them. After not long, I had to squat down and fall asleep because of fatigue. Suddenly I felt extremely uncomfortable and I felt I was going to die.
I tried my best to stand up and I heard the sound of something breaking. It was my waistband - while I was standing up suddenly, something scratched it and it was broken.
It was more than six hundred kilometers between Hangzhou and my home city. Even now, I still can't believe how I can get through the long distance on a bus without a seat. If I had done it at my current age, I would definitely have died.
Another embarrassing thing was also taking place on a long-distance bus, and I can't figure out the reason even now - At midnight, the driver didn't stop the bus if someone wanted to pee.
One time I was on a bus in Zhejiang province at midnight and I wanted to pee. The driver told me that I could pee through the bus window. Of course, I couldn't pee that way, and I could only find some wide-mouth bottles or plastic bags.
Taking a train back then was also a struggle. There were only those ordinary green trains, and they were slow and crowded. Passengers often had no seats and had to bend their bodies and lie down under train seats. I did that several times too.
It is always a pain recalling these unpleasant things. I hope they never happen again.

IELTS Speaking Answers
1. Do you like the place you live in?
Absolutely! I love where I live. My house is situated at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, which connects to the bustling main street in the heart of the city. It's the perfect blend of convenience and tranquility. Whenever I need to run errands or go shopping, I can simply take a short walk to nearby supermarkets, open markets, and large stores. When I return home, I can enjoy a calm and serene atmosphere, shielded from the noise of traffic. It's truly the best of both worlds.
2. Are there any landmarks/iconic buildings near your place?
Yes, there are. Just around 500 meters away from my house, there is the city's largest clothing store, known for its wide range of expensive brands and even featuring an indoor children's playground. If you head right from the store for about 15 minutes, you'll come across the city square, which serves as a venue for major events like the New Year fireworks display. But if you head right from the store, you'll spot the Victory Monument, a significant landmark built to honor the famous Battle of Buon Ma Thuot in the spring of 1975. This battle played a crucial role in liberating the Central Highlands and the Southern region. The monument itself has an interesting design inspired by the indigenous people's ancient weapon, the crossbow. You'll notice a tall and straight pillar resembling an arrow, while the round gate represents the bow.
In front of the gate is a concrete replica of a tank that led the forces of Buon Ma Thuot and crashed through the gates of the enemy's command headquarters.
3. What is your high school like?
My high school is the second most prestigious public school in the city, known for its high-quality teachers and excellent facilities. It is situated in a secluded neighborhood, away from the main street, providing a peaceful and serene environment for learning.
I was enrolled in the advanced class, which offered more challenging coursework in subjects like English, math, and language compared to regular classes. The class sizes were relatively large, with around 40 students.
Classes started at 7 am, and we would have a break at about 9, which I spent chatting with my friends about our favorite movies and novels. The school day would typically end at around 11, and there were occasionally extracurricular activities in the afternoon, such as embroidery or basketball.
In terms of academic performance, I maintained an average level. I wasn't exceptional, but I also didn't struggle.

Livre numérique ou livre en papier?
Sujet: La nouvelle technologie remplace-t-elle la lecture traditionnelle?
Devoir:
L’apparence de la nouvelle technologie fait partie intégrante dans le développement de l’humanité d’où le changement universel. Comme les inventions artificielles nous aident à réformer la vie quotidienne en facilitant les activités humaines dont la lecture est le premier pas d’innovation vers le future. Mais on pose alors la question si cette dernière remplace totalement la lecture traditionnelle. Personnellement, je trouve que
Premièrement, les livres en ligne sont très divers à choisir. Généralement, il ressemble à une ressource littéraire abondante qui permets aux lecteurs d’accéder non seulement à centaines ouvrages différents mais aussi à ceux de multi-langue que possible. De plus, à côté de forme de texte, l’Ebook existe aussi sous forme de sonorité ou de…
Deuxièmement, la commodité des livres téléchargés est indéniable. En effet, ceux traditionnels prennent trop de place à ranger si bien qu’ils font d’une maison d’une librairie exigu. Par contre, avec l’Ebook, on réduits des espaces de stockage au maximum car ce qu’on doit pour faire la lecture dans ce cas là, c’est tout simplement une tablette ou un téléphone portable. Particulièrement, on peut l’emporter à n’import où et lire n’importe quand grâce à la compacité de l’appareil.
Cependant, on ne peut pas nier qu’on préfère parfois les livres en papier. D’une part, certaines lectures concernent la batterie d’Ebook qui peut éteindre ou tomber en panne n’importe quand. D’autre part, regarder à l’écran à une longue durée faitigue facilement des yeux en menant les maladies visuelles. Finalement, les livres numériques ne donnent pas aux lecteurs des sensations irremplaçables et des sentiments nostalgiques comme ceux traditionnels.
En conclusion, bien que la nouvelle technologie rende davantage profits à considérer dont la compacité du dispositif et l’abondance d’ouvrages. Mais à ma part, ils ne remplacent jamais les livres traditionnels car ils sont quand même l’invention artificielle qui ne peut pas répondre aux besoins sentimals des lecteurs.

盗まれた財布を拾った子供たち
ユースによると、小さい子供たちが犯人を捕まることに役に立ったということです。今年6月、東京にある保育園の近くにある公園で遊ぶ時、子供たちが財布３つを見つけました。そしてそれを見て、保育園の先生が警察に届けました。警察を調べによって、財布が盗まれたことでした。公園の周りのカメラを調べると、財布を盗んだ犯人を見つけることもできました。財布を拾った子供たちにお礼を言いに警官と地域警察キャラクターが保育園に行ったということです。
私がこのニュースを読んで、子供たちが生活指導をよく受けたということを考えました。財布を見つけるとまず先生にくれたから。そして警官が子供たちにお礼を言うのはとてもいいことだと思います。そんなことは子供に楽しいから長いこと記憶に残るでしょう。警察を手伝った時を記憶して誇らしくて、いつも別な人に役に立つことを熱心してすることになったらいいです。

Nous avons une fuite d'eau
Ça fait plus que deux mois depuis nous avons dit à la propriétaire qu'il y a une petite fuite d'eau sous le lavabo. Sauf maintenant la fuite est pire et il faut que nous utilisions un déshumidificateur dans la cuisine. Cette machine génère beaucoup de la chaleur, et nous sommes dans une canicule cette semaine. Je laisse les fenêtres ouvertes mais les volets restent fermés parce que je suis gravement allergique aux moustiques. Quelques peuvent mêmes rentrent. Il n'est pas confortable ici.
