People have been learning foreign languages since time immemorial. Nowadays we still want to know more and more languages. Teachers of foreign languages very popular now. I would like to express my point of view.
In my opinion it does not matter if a person knows languages well or badly. I think that teaching language needs qualified workers. Only real teachers with professional education can transmit correct language. If you want to be an interpreter you should to have a diploma of the qualified interpreter. No one employed does give you a chance to work as interpreter without it, because they want to see their employees as good specialists.
On the other hand, some people claim that to work as interpreter is possible, if you are fluent in a foreign language. They say such person has all qualities that are required by this profession: listening, reading, speaking and writing skills.

                                                                                      Essay
 I would like to discuss with you whether a person can , fluent in the language to be a translator.
 In my opinion , the person who knows the language can easily become a translator. Knowing the language of the person is likely to be able to translate human speech , speaking in his familiar language.

Sometimes, of course , it is just who knows the language of a person can be wrong in the meaning of words , which gives way to professionally translator. Just knowing the language a person can give in professionally interpreter if the conversation requires special knowledge of the language , for example in international negotiations.


But , as in the condition of the essay did not say whether fluent in the language of the person to be an interpreter in any situation , I believe that any person fluent in the language can be a translator familiar with his language.

My topic is : Some students believe that homework should be optional.

If we make homework optional, it will damage the education system. I get decent grades myself, I could do well with or without homework. However, this may not be the case for every individual. Lets just say homework was optional. If there is an individual that doesn't care (and, getting horrendous grades), they will probably not try to practice to improve on their education. On the contrary, if homework remains optional that individual might just get the education they need to survive when they face the real world. Or perhaps change their mind about education in general. Lastly, homework is not always fair, but lets face it, it depends on the teacher.

Homework helps students to understand material more deeply. However, some people believe that homework does not be compulsory. I strongly agree with this topic that homework should be mandatory. First of all, daily homework brings many benefits. It helps students understand subjects more deeply. Also ,young people learn how to arrange their time to have all things done on time. In addition, to those practical benefits daily homework teaches students how to make their own research if something is not clear. Curiosity is one of the main reasons that leads a person to a success. Students learn to make their research, with different kinds of information resources such as an internet, books , magazines, journals and newspapers. Another important aspect of this is that students get an opportunity to apply their skills and enhance them and also it gives students a chance to learn from their mistakes and improve on their weaknesses. Hence, students must doing their homework in order to succeed in the modern world.

In my point of view, students from different classes must to do their homework. There are a few arguments to support this opinion. First, doing homework helps to improve students knowledge and education level. Often a teacher puts marks for homework. Moreover, some of homeworks can improve students creativity.
Supporters of opposite opinion believe when a student doing a lot of homework, he spend their own free time for education only. Also it can be harmful to health.
I partly agree with this point of view, because a homework should be done, but if it is do not take a lot of free time from students.
Taking into consideration i am strongly convinced that the homework must be done by every student who have an interest for his or her own education. However i believe that everyone must have his or her own free time for relax and entertainment.

                          Nowadays, there are more and more people who decide to learn a foregin language. It is caused by different reasons. For example, many people want to work as an interpreter. So, what do a person need to work as an interpreter? Will a person who is fluent in foregin language be able to easily work as an interpreter?
                          In my opinion, it is not enough to be fluent in foregin language. Firstly, fluency will not help you, if you are shy person. Interpreter meets new people very often, so a person, who wants to work as an intterpreter should be very communicative. Secondly, a good interpreter should also know the language of gestures. It is very important, as gestures have different meanings in different countries. Finally, it is essentially important for an interpreter to have a good vocabulary. Every language has colloquial words, idioms and etc. which are hard to understand without a good knowledge.
                          On the other hand, a person who has fluent speech can be easily understood. Moreover, you can not know grammar excellent, but if yor speech is fast and clear, prounonciation is good, you will interpret easily. Nevertheless, fluency is not the main thing for interpreter. The main goal of interpreter is to understand the speech he hears.
                          A person will easily work as an interpreter, if he has not only fluent speech , but also good vocabulary, knowledge of the country. Communicative skills are also very important.
                          In conlusion peaple who study hard, will get good progress in their future.

Do computers help students with studying? Should teenagers use a PC while doing homework? This questions have relatively recently been settled and the answers to them are not simple.

As for me, I think having a computer at home has a lot of advantages. Firstly, with the help of the Internet a student can find all information about the subject he or she is interested in. Secondly, due to social networks teenagers can easily chat with classmates and even help one another with doing homework. Finally, the Internet is a great place to learn foreign languages for youngsters because there are many programs and sites that make the whole process of learning exciting and interesting.

However, some people thing that computers distract students from studying. In their mind, there are many futile videogames that do not let teenagers focus on education and thus can cause a lot of troubles.

I cannot agree with these people. There are a lot of useful computer games based on historical, geographical events can really help students learn more about these subjects.

To sum up, I would say that computers can easily make teenagers’ life better. If a person is disciplined enough to ignore distractions like instant messages or e-mails, he or she is likely to gain success.
