IELTS – TOEFL Preparation Course – Session 1
Writing Practice
- From 9:40 to 10:00 pm
- In each session, one student writes an essay or some part of an essay on specified topics and leaves it as a comment in the blue comment form at the bottom of this post before the next class.
- In the class, the teacher and the other students assess the essays, paragraphs, etc., focusing on grammar problems, choice of words, essay writing skills and techniques, etc.
Writing Task
Each student should write one paragraph consisting of approximately 80 words as a supporting paragraph focusing on one specific advantage of learning English as the international language in depth.
It goes without saying “The limits of my language are the limits of my world”. To be more specific, learning English as the international language has multifarious merits. First and foremost, you can communicate with people from all walks of life worldwide, not only for joy but also for exchanging ideas. For instance, a researcher who is striving to find out new information about a phenomenon, could take advantage of knowing English in order to broaden his horizons in his field by socializing with scientists in other countries. Hence, why do not we put learning English in our schedule?
By the hardworking and endeavors of people in different parts of the world, ceaselessly various amounts of knowledge and technologies are being produced. To facilitate the processes of research and studies, it is evident that we should have one international language as our resource to have access to the recent advancements. Having familiarity with the international language i.e., English, can be regarded as a fruitful way for people in different fields of studies or professions to be aware of the developments and help in the continuance of the progression.
Thanks for your revision.
1. Hardworking is an adjective and does not match with endeavors as a noun

Thank you for your correction.
You’re welcome.
For the verb help I also meant the people. Help also refers to people. How should I tell it?
Just omit “in” after “help”, and it will be correct.
There are some individuals, mostly in undeveloped countries, diminish the idea that English should be accepted as an international communication language by resorting to the theory that this causes some problems. Such a cynical insight, however, confines the relation with other nations, specifically in terms of communication, and prevails isolationism. They should be mindful that keeping the society isolated can pose serious difficulties to the society. For instance, North Korea, which opted to hinder having the interaction with the world outside, has been becoming so isolated as if it was not a country in the world. This, as the result, proves the ideas that both keeping the society open and communicating to other nations, which is learning and educating the most internationally accepted language, save the country from falling into the trap of isolationism.

To talk about the advantages of learning English as a second or foreign language, first it’s better explain about the aimes of having an international language in the world. By the hardworking and endeavors of people in different parts of the world, various amounts of knowledge and technologies are being produced ceaselessly and such scientific productions are required to be expressed in such a way that all people of the world become aware of them. To facilitate the processes of research and studies, it is evident that we should have one specific language -international language- as our resource to have access to the recent advancements.
