Informal letter
Dear Mary,
Sorry I haven’t written to you for
so long. I’ve been very busy doing projects and studying for exams from
college. If I’d had time I would have written to you before.
I told you last summer that I was
going to study nursery education. I’m enjoying this first year a lot because
I’m learning about how to educate children. What is more, I’m trying to
practise with some children I know. Last week one of them told me that I was a
really good teacher and obviously these words encouraged me a lot. I also went
to a school to see four-year-old children to do a project for the university. I
wish you were here to tell you all my experiences. Do you remember how much
time we spent teaching our dolls? I hope you are enjoying your cooking course
in Palma. I may visit you this summer.
I must go now as I have to study for
an exam.
Best wishes,
Andrea

Essay
Nowadays, there are some teachers
that are using modern methodologies. However, there are teachers and parents
who think that traditional methodologies are better than the modern ones.
On the one hand, there are a lot of
people who went to traditional schools and felt discouraged because of their
low marks. Although they were not told what they needed to improve. That was
the reason why lots of them left school and started to work. In addition,
students who are taught with traditional methodologies tend to memorize without
understanding the meaning of what they are studying.
On the other hand, students who have
traditional teachers have a better behaviour in class. Furthermore, it is an
easy and cheap way to teach.
To conclude, I believe that, if
teachers used a more modern methodology, students would be more motivated.
Consequently, it is more probable for them to find a good job. What do you
think about traditional methodologies? Are you for or against?
