WRITING TEST 1 Hey Alex, I get where you're coming from, man. Deciding to participate in the music competition on TV with your band can be tough. You got to think about what you want, and what makes you happy as a musician. Take a moment to reflect on your own goals and aspirations. Consider the pros and cons of jumping into the competition. Will it give you some great experience and exposure? Can you handle the pressure of performing on TV? Now, when it comes to your friends, it's all about communication. Talk to them about your doubts and worries. Let them know that it's not about their talent, but about their feelings. Real friends will understand and respect your decision, even if they might be bummed out at first. Maybe you can still support your friends in other ways, like showing up at their show or helping them out behind the scenes. I wish this helps you, good luck. Jerry ESSAY TEST 2 Whether parents teach their children at home rather than sending them to school is a matter of debate. Firstly, having a parent as a teacher would be beneficial for you. It will be much more unchallenging than a normal school, as you don’t have to compete with other pupils. Moreover, your family will educate you in your own time and way of learning. Secondly, making friends is one of the most crucial things about school. Teaching you child at home would not offer the opportunity to interact with other kids, build social skills, or develop important friendships. Finally, homeschooling does offer increased safety and security. Parents can ensure a safe learning environment, free from the risks of bullying, violence, and negative influences that can be present in traditional schools. Children can focus on their studies without the distractions and potential harm of normal schools. In conclusion, sending your child to school is a better overall option than homeschooling because it provides opportunities for socializing and building important interpersonal connections with peers. However, it is essential to carefully consider individual circumstances and evaluate the pros and cons of each educational approach.
