It is undeniable that some people who decide to study English abroad facing some problems with understanding local people. I had that problem as well, but it was in England due to their  interesting and unusual accent. I had been studying there for almost 2 month and I could not grasp British pronunciation which was the wildest thing for me. Of course, I had no difficulty with teachers on the school because they slow down their speech for us. Moreover, time to time, but unfortunately not often, I try to watch British series or movies just for adjusting my ears for this accent, yet, it is still hard and good thing is I’m quite like it. Despite that, I had not problems that time. People were polite and always busy especially in rush hours.  What I like about London are architecture and that history which is hidden through the ages and centuries. There are high chances of going there again in the future. I highly recommend to visit England to see real British beauty and enjoy traditional ceremony of drinking tea.

There are many elements that involve decision making. Dweck (2007) points out that decision making can be affected by past experiences, a variety of cognitive biases, and individual differences. Firstly, prior experience of decisions may affect future decisions. It stands to reason that people can make a similar choice when the outcome of the past choice is positive. Secondly, individual ways of thinking may also impact decision making. The author states that it can lead to mistakes and personal judgment which results in wrong decisions. Thirdly, the author goes to say that older people may prefer to choose from fewer decisions because the risks is low. Finally, poorer people can make negative decisions based on their negative life experiences.

Decision making is characterized by the numerous elements that are involved. In this article, Dweck (2007) argues that the decision making process is based on previous experiences, individual judgement and personal conditions. Firstly, past experiences can define future choices, particularly if the outcome was positive, people may choose similar decisions. In addition, the author mentions that people create their subjective judgement, so they rely on their own opinions and perspectives. Finally, he points out that as age and socio-economic status may impact directly decision-making. For example, elderly people may have a preference for few and less risky options and people with lower incomes may be likely to make poorer decisions. Hence, decision-making have many factors and inputs which may differ according to an individual's perspective and life events.

In general, there are several difficulties that could face some people in foreign countries. People may decide to live in foreign countries in different reasons. Some of them leave their country for work, study and immigration purposes. These reasons can make people try to adapt to new situations. In this essay, there are two-fold issues of living overseas in terms of communication problems and misunderstanding.
Firstly, communication problems can be the most critical issue for some people due to fear of speaking and lack of vocabulary. Moreover, some people may feel uncomfortable when they need to start their conversation with local people. Furthermore, some people can experience misunderstanding due to problems in sentence structure and fast speaking in native speakers. Thus, they may be confused or become less confident in their ability to communicate with others.

In conclusion, it is obvious that there are some difficulties for people who live in foreign countries due to communication problems and misunderstanding. It is recommended for these people to use their body language to avoid these problems.

It is undeniable that many essential aspects have an impact on decision making. First of all, most people base their decisions on their past experiences because they do not want make the same mistake again. Additionally, sometimes people make the decision on their judgment which could lead to poor decision making. Research shows that social status and age affect decision making, and older people tend to feel overconfident about their life experience, which may lead to more unfortunate decisions. Moreover, people who are less educated and lack resources are more likely to have negative life experiences. Therefore, it can be said that pat exposure to different cognitive factors such as age and socioeconomic conditions can affect decision making.

Communication skills with people are one of the most important things in our daily life, which as the success or failure of the connection depends on many factors. Communication is the process of exchanging data and information in different ways, where humans can use words and languages to communicate with one another. It is essential that people have acceptable communication skills in order to feelings and exchange ideas with those around them. Furthermore, there are several major causes beyond the control of the individual, which cause communication success or failure, such as difficulties in understanding or speaking the language. For instance, due to lack of English language skills, I have a poor experience with immigration officers at Melbourne Airport when I first traveled to Australia in 2016. This event was one of the worst whom memories of my life.

Nowadays, living in a foreign country is on the bucket list of many millennials, and Australia is a perfect place to travel and meet many different cultures. Australian is known as a multicultural place where everyone is welcome, and I came with the dream of interact with many people different from my own country. The first day that I arrived to Brisbane, I stayed in a hostel with a four-bed share room and meet a Japanese girl there. She looks kind and she was new in the country as well, we talk and talk but I understand just 20% of what she was saying, since the first day I thought I didn’t know English. The same experience happened to me with people from other countries, and then I understand that everybody have a strong accent and it takes time to understand them and the same for them with me. It was something that I didn't thought or experience before.

PS: we are still friends and now we understand each other 100% haha! We have talked about that first day, when either of us understood our long conversations.

The miscommunication may sometimes be uncomfortable and embarrassing and it may be more difficult is to repair or redo the talk, therefore, silence may be the best choice. In 2019, I was in an English class on vocabulary. A teacher was teaching to a standard age group. She was explaining the meaning of parenthood and suddenly I said: "We can skip this" and then she said, "But it is a good experience". However, I replied to her "We can jump this". I really would mean that we can pass from adulthood to the elderly, passing over parenthood as a possibility, but it was not implying I do not like parenthood. Despite that, she was a little bit confused and annoyed because of my replication. Since I realized that it was impossible to make a correction on that, I remained in silence.

Nowadays many people are traveling around the world for different reasons because each country has it is own customs and traditions which should be respected. firstly, language can be one of the greatest problems facing those studying aboard, but for me when I arrived in Melbourne the biggest problem was understanding the local transport systems. One day I tried to go to the city by train after more than half-hour I realized that I was riding the wrong one. In addition, the way native people speak is difficult to understand because they are always speaking too fast. Nevertheless, I try to speak to them to improve my language without shyness. Additionally, the food will be a new challenge for example if you want to find food from your country it is not easy to find it or you will not find it. Finally, we should prepare our selves to defeat all the issues to achieve your goals.

It appears to me that communication problems often derive from basic differences in values between cultures, and  people may face many  problems when they move from one place to another. first of all, language differences present a common stumbling block in international business communication. for a successful business you need strong communication skills. for Instance. whenever one party is using a second language or a translator the chance of misunderstandings increases.Giving my own example when i came in Australia one month ago it was difficult for me to understand the people what they were exactly saying because the speaking accent is different. most of the time i had to request to the people to speak slowly and clearly and after some time i am used to it now i have no problem talking with new people

As an international student when I arrived in Sydney at the first time, the main problem is face to face communication with local or foreign people. First of all, I felt quite scared when I was talking with the customs, because I could not find my luggage from airport, and I didn't understand how to explain where I could take my luggage, and the customs asked a staff member who can speak my language to solve the problem. Additionally, pronunciation is another serious problem of many international students. For example, most of Australian pronounced H as 'hatch', and Chinese people commonly pronounced Z as 'Zee' or 'yee set', not the 'Zed'. However, to the best of my knowledge, if international students want to improve language skills in future, students should discover what the best method is to learn English, such as reading daily newspapers, watching daily NEWS or TV Dramas, communicating with local people and doing more grammar practice.

Traveling to countries that speak different languages might lead to communication barriers due to pronunciation and local slang differences. Admittedly, I have experienced several incidents in which I’ve been misunderstood or the other way around. I actually did not have any of that when I arrived in Sydney. It went effortlessly as a piece of cake. However, I came across difficulties communicating myself when I first went to USA. One of those incidents occurred when I was looking for an apartment in a housing agent office. While I was leaving the office, I looked back at the agent and told her 'could you please call a cab?' She got scared asking me why I want to call the police. She assumed that I was asking her to call a ''cop, not for a taxi! It is shocking how natives misinterpret words specially if you are not native and how foreigners commonly mispronounce words unintentionally.

Communication skill is always a huge problem for students who study abroad. Honestly, I am a international student as well as other students, I have faced difficulties when i go to the different country to study. To begin with, i felt quite scared when i walked out of the airport because this was my first time abroad. I didn't know how to move, how to ask but luckily i finally finished the procedures myself without any legal trouble. Additionally, it is difficult to communicate with the local host because they speak fairly fast and the voice of the elderly is quite difficult to understand. Finally, in my opinion social interaction is another important issue. For example, when you want to explore a new country you have to understand their language, however, you don't understand everything that people covey to you or you may misunderstand them. In fact, i have lived and worked here for a long time therefore i need improve my English skill so i can explore everything i love.

The communication problem is a major problem that bothers more and more students. As an international student, I have the same problem. I faced the problem when I first time to arrive in Sydney. I went to make a new opal card as soon as I got off the plane. I did my best to speak distinctly. However, the staff member misunderstood the meaning as a result of terrible pronunciation and I could not hear him clearly. Finally, I was forced to ask a passer-by who can speak English well for help. After that, I realised the importance of communication and I was determined that I would practise speaking hard. I am a bashful and uncommunicative student, but I am trying to find some ways to improve myself. From my point of view, talking to local people is the best way to improve this. After more than four months of hard work, I discover my speaking is far better than when I first time to arrive in Sydney.

The main problem that was faced by the international students is believed to be communication. As I am an international student, I too faced difficulty in communicating with the local people here in Sydney. The first problem that I faced after arrival to Sydney is communicating with officials in the airport. I was unable to catch the words as they were so fast, they miss some of the words in the sentences, and the way they pronounce is different from what I pronounce .As i was out of the airport, I needed to change my currency to Australian currency. when I reached the currency exchange center there I was unable to catch their words because they again spoke fast, in low voice and extremely gently . Most of the time they used idioms. My experience of misunderstanding of using idioms is "don't pull my leg". At that time I was confused and thought that there was something wrong with his legs. But later I understand that meaning and that he was trying to be friendly and make me laugh.

As an international student when I had arrived in Sydney i could see vast changes in culture from India to Australia. It may be language or way of speaking.I felt very difficulty to speak with foreign people here in Sydney because they speak  too fast so it is very difficulty to understand them. Nevertheless i could manage to understand them and give them good response with a smile. Yes, a smile helps!!! Besides speaking good English, it is important to read more so you can understand their culture, live accordingly and be part of Australian society. I started speaking with more people and reading books and watching movies so that i can learn good English, and I can manage to live here and mingle with them easily now.

As an international student in Sydney, the main problem which I had to face with is the communication problem. Firstly, it is difficult that to understand what local people said. For example, they tend to use some slang and idioms.My last full job's manager is a local person and sometimes he says "G day"very quickly to me in the morning. At first I didn't know what that means but now I understand it means "Hello" or "Good morning".On the other hand, many international students  have poor verbal skills.Because of the poor pronunciation,it is hard to communicate with them too.For example,sometimes I go to the KFC and order a meal but I find that I can not say what I want because I have no clue how to say it naturally even though I may have the vocabulary.

Communication problem is one of the major problems which people are facing in  today's life. As i am also an international student and arrived to Sydney for the first time I too faced a problem in communicating with the people.
As I arrived to the Sydney my journey was good and my brother picked me in the airport, and when I came outside from the airport I felt very joyful and its very beautiful.
But I soon realised communicating with the people from other countries is not  difficult until we come face to face with them. Firstly,  pronunciation is the major problem for me to communicate since many of the people pronounce a word with the sound arh like centah, watah, workah instead of centre, water and worker which i didn't understand. Secondly, I also find it hard to understand some slang or informal expression such as ta or she''ll be right for thank you and everything is ok.
To wrap up my thoughts communication is main skill to help you live in and to to do a job in any country so be open and work hard to improve it and if you have a problem don't take it too personally because you never know, the problem is not yours alone.

First experience at Sydney Airport
Communication problems can bother a lot of people when visiting other countries and when talking to the native ones. As foreign people, they do have different pronunciation, different accents, different styles of speaking, different body language and life styles. For instance, for the first time when I arrived in Sydney Airport, I got confused when an Australian guy told me to 'wait' in a loud voice....I heard something like 'white'...'white'....and couldn't guess the exact word....I became a bit nervous at the very moment....but a bit later I understood through his gesture that he was pronouncing the word 'wait' with a different vowel sound. It is hilarious I faced this situation for the very first time when arriving in Sydney Australia. Imagine those who speak very little or no English, hearing such an accent can become quite difficult and frightening. And I am dam sure that this sort of communication problem can faced by any non-native speaker at anytime anywhere else in the world. But it might only be a problem for a short time when you become used to it and then you can easily cope with it.

Nowadays so many people are going abroad for study and jobs but they do'not know about the local rules and culture so they are facing so many problems .For example few days back to when i first came to Australia, I did not know how to communicate with others and constantly felt shy to talk to them. This shyness further made me want to withdraw from social activities and just being out and meeting new people. Additooanlly, in Australia driving rules are very strict and you are expected to follow the same rules regardless where you come from. It
s quite interesting to know that in my country it is normal to sound the horn whereas here sounding horn in Australia means there are great problems happening. Furthermore, i also faced traveling problems with buses and trains. Luckily, I downloaded the app called TripView and find that it is more useful to me. After a few days i can now say I feel I can improve my self slowly.

My First Experience in Sydney
As an International student Sydney is a new place to me. I have  experienced people speaking with different slang at the airport which is not easy for me to understand what they speaking because they speak too fast. But anyway my friend Vinay picked me up at the airport and helped me. Sydney is a place where people from different countries come together to study and work. It is "Land of opportunities". When I exchanged the words with Australian people at the shopping mall i understood their language and i felt easy to communicate with them. On 27th March, i came to CSU Embassy to do my English course. Here Jerry helped all the students and everything went on to the place. But I can say as of now i haven't not faced any issue with communication or other things. Hope it will be same as well.

First experience in Australia
Communication between people can a big problem in these days for most people travelling from one country to another county. Every nation has its  own culture, language and rules. When I arrived to Australia from India, I felt Australian's culture was a big surprise for me due to lack of communication skills. I was not not able to understand what some of the locals were saying and they were not always getting what I meant, either. I became little bit nervous at that time .I thought it's my first experience of  facing English people . I did not want face the same situatation again, so I soon made the effort to improve my English language ability and began doing more research into Australian culture. At school, I had to disciplined myself to converse only in english. Though it was not easy at first, it soon became a habit and I must admit my pronunciation and fluency improved exponentially after a few weeks. So if you are an overseas students and are feeling the same problems as I did, don't worry. things will improve so long as you keep working on your problems and expend your efforts in practising the language and understanding the local norms.

In the simplest way, for most of us time management means consciously knowing how much time you should put and spend on a specific activity. Because time is limited it is important for us to ensure that the right amount of time is spent on the right activity.

Having taken the both IELTS and TOEFL test, I can say that I felt more time pressure in the Reading section but have scored the highest in it. Given the reason that we have to complete around 40 questions in 1 hour from 3 different passages, time management plays a significant role in achieving a sussessful result, here in this context a high score in my tests. From my experience, what I might suggest is, the candidate need to go through the questions first in order to understand the key meaning of the passage. Afterwards, skim the passage and find the keywords to answer the questions. Besides that, one should skip questions if found difficult and finish it at the end.

Tourism has been the main resource of sustainability for many countries in the past years.It is believed that an economy will benefit from the development of tourism in the local community. It is said that many jobs opportunities have been brought about by tourism. For example, as said by Kennedy (2016) " involving local people in accommodating tourists and acting as guides, aids development". Furthermore, if we take into consideration an economy that has investment in ecotourism; they can potentially spend the money wisely to develop a sustainable way of living and trying to lift themselves out of poverty (Kennedy, 2016).

Time management skills are absolutely crucial for the development of academic and professional career . Most of us face troubles in in time management as all we have 24 hours a day and it cannot be changed. The most important part of time management is to set up realistic goals, as goal setting brings achievement of maximum output. One suggestion is to find goals that are SMART. In other words, they should be speficic enough to help you follow through, measurable in the way they are meaningful and motivating, achievable as goals must be within your capacity. Goals should also be relevant and result-based. Finally, they should be timed.

A paragraph about advantages of tourism
Tourism can be beneficial to a country's economy in various ways.Firstly it generates employment opportunities to the local people living in a country. Consequently, local people can earn foreign currencies and can increase their per capita income. Additionally, the income from touristic activities can aid in helping to protect nature and environment. Butler (2015) reported that ecotourism focuses on preserving nature damages and consequently helps local people to develop their capacity for sustainability and help live themselves out of poverty (as cited in Kennedy, 2016).Secondly, tourism might help both the tourist and the host to exchange traditions and cultures among themselves. Moreover, it helps to promote the country's natural beauties and helps to promote the country worldwide. Similarly, ecotourism also aids development by involving local people in accommodating tourists and acting as guide (Kennedy, 2016).

One of the problems that i faced in my living place on my first day was when I went to visit a shop to buy some necessary things. Somehow i had trouble with the shop manager when he spoke with me about the billing time. I asked him twice to understand what he was saying. He was asking how I would like to pay but it sounds like how you like two 'pie'?!!!!. I said I don't want pie and he was confused with me too because he was thinking I didn't want to 'pay'. At that time i thought that i needed to develop my pronunciation skills and idioms immediately. It's a common problem for many international people to understand local language and accent. it takes time to understand and to follow their culture and language.

Many students wish to find ways to save time at university and use it effectively. The general advice is that one should make a schedule for the week. Especially when an exam is approaching, a schedule will certainly keep things in perspective or act as a reminder for those who often procrastinate. Secondly, it would also be advisable to prioritise one's learning goals - that is focus more on important tasks that need to be completed first. For example, a 4,000 - word essay calls for much more planning and commitment than learning how to cook a weekend dish. Additionally, finding time to relax is also regarded as a great help particularly around the exam period where many students tend to cram in the last minutes and go for days without getting enough sleep. This unwittingly can have a terrible impact on their physical health and consequently affect their performance in their exams.

To begin with, there are several advantages of tourism for a country. First and foremost, it helps to generate  financial income, which is likely caused by the fact that many people can find enormous job opportunities in different sectors. For example, as reported by Kennedy (2016) " tourism is the source of income generation for developing nations due to increased employment in all sectors ". Furthermore, people can find positions in hotels, restaurants, guide tour and many more. In addition to it, it also helps to develops country's cultural beauty. This is because many tourists can bring various good news back to their countries, so that several people can be attracted to see incredible landscapes or historical events.For instance, Nepal is rich in cultural heritage and languages so that people from different parts of the world find it appealing to visit this place.

According to Doe (2018), nowadays stress can result in several problems: Physical, emotional, mental health problems. in regard to physical problems it can affect the heart in the way that it is able to make the heart miss beats and also cause high blood pressure. Respiratory problems such as asthma and digestive problems may also result from stress. In addition, stress can also make you feel anxious for example you might have panic attacks, short-winded and feel tired all the time. Consequently you often overreact to little problems  because it can make you angry, moody, or nervous easily.The last effect is mental health problems long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious metal illness.Depression is an extreme feeling of sadness and hopelessness. Alcoholism  often develops as a result of overuse of alcohol or drugs. Eating disorders such as anorexia are sometimes caused by stress.

Several steps can aid in narrowing a generation gap. Firstly, it is believed that frequent communication within family members plays a pivotal role in family relationship. For instance, children could tell their parents what happened at school every day, which could provide a chance to let parents know their children better such as what young people usually like to do or what their hobbies are. Secondly, since it is still a common fear that young adults have no status or no right to express their real feeling in frond of older generation, living in a big family might be a good example to explain this point that young people do not have to feel unfair when they argue with their parents or grandparents. In the other words, parents need to aware of the fact that they can be wrong and their decisions are not always right, and that everyone takes on a different role or position in maintaining the functions of a family. This knowledge will undoubtedly build on mutual respect and understanding which I stand to believe holds the key to a strong and healthy family relationship.

There are many advantages of using wireless internet in colleges. One of the greatest advantages of this is related to health benefits. The traditional classes use chalk and markers to write on a board. The chalk creates dust while erasing the board potentially causing respiratory problems for the students sitting nearer the board. Furthermore, although safer, the boards using the colorful markers these days may lead to skin problems for the tutors. As claimed by Majumdar (as cited in Abrahams, 2011), the teachers were found to suffer the most.

The Wireless Internet is necessary for college students for various reasons. The most important reason is that it can make it easy to share documents each other using a Wi-Fi access online. Obviously it enables students to study from everywhere even the materials belong with you. According to Chucwuere (2017), most of students mentioned about benefits of Wi-Fi to related their studies since using Wireless Internet on campus allows them to submit their assignment on time and to communicate with classmates and teachers. In addition, the usage of wireless internet can decrease the cost.

Wireless internet in the campus is an important factor in enhancement of student grades. According to Matt Hamblen (2015), 75% of students who get WiFi access in their college campus score higher grades in their assessment and tests. Actually, it can also help students to gain fast access to the academic information needed for their study or assignments. In addition, campus WiFi may also aid in promoting social life of the students. For example, it helps them to stay in contact with overseas families friends, local and international news, and local events or activities.

To be honest, I have been still having problems with communication. I believe that it is not easy to learn how to speak another language which is a long process. Because, every single language has its own features, structures and rules. Furthermore, the majority of sentences cannot be translated 100 % to another language.

Particularly, if i were to describe a problem with my English,  I would point out Australian English. For a variety of reasons, I have been unable to understand Aussie people. Various phrases are used on this land that I do not have in my native language namely, idioms, slang, abbreviations etc. Surely, it is impossible that all the idioms, slang and abbreviation can be taught.

I cannot give a specific example from my life that ı have experienced because I cannot remember. Last of all, ı have been trying to make most of my days and looks like it is going to take a bit more.

College Essay Support
College students can improve their essay in a number of ways. It is often the case that improving creative writing requires a massive amount of exercise and practice (Bennett , 2008). This suggests that actual writing is not just being attentive to lectures dedicated to writing or doing grammar or vocabulary exercises. What helps in achieving success in improving creative writing skills is also reading appropriate texts and find support from the teacher. The survey which is described later presents this finding as the most essential. Creative writing, though, should not be viewed as an associate degree activity that happens solely inside a course room’s walls (Bennett, 2008). Lecturers have to support students’ development of writing habits and preferences also outside university. It is very good when teachers recognize that almost all students do intensive amounts of writing for their own purposes: emails, journals, instant electronic communication, internet sites, and blogs.

Travelling to a different continent, Australia, for the very first time, I am still experiencing cultural shock. To begin with, I am much impressed by the politeness people show over here. Not belonging to such a background, it took me like days to naturally present myself with courtesy. Talking about communication problems, having heard the fact that the Australian accent is difficult, it literally takes me quite some time to understand the conversation with native speakers, also because they speak too fast. Pronunciation is the another major issue. For instance, the word H is pronounced as "hatch". Australian people are called Aussie and is pronounced with Z as Auzie but not with S. Apart from the native, I can see a lot of international people mostly Asians many of whom also find the same problem as I do. Since the language barrier is the problem among us, we try to communicate in English every day and always make sure to ask questions when we are not sure about anything. Most important of all - use simple English and speak with clarity!

How to narrow the generation gap
Several steps can aid in narrowing a generation gap. Firstly, it is necessary to show each other more mutual respect and attempt to accommodate rather than change. For example, a good relationship can occur between youngsters and elders if they listen to each other more (Levenson, n.d.). What’s more, more communication is  essential because people should not only spend time on  talking, but also seek to understand each other. Finally, they should accept different opinions and understand that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. According to Morin (2000), the two generations have their own unique experiences and perspectives, they are bound to differ in opinions and point of views regarding various aspects of life such as lifestyle, career choices and much more. So, to narrow the gap, they should be willing to accept that the differences are natural and that each has a right to their own belief. Acknowledging this can help in bridging the gap.

INTERNET AT COLLEGE
The Wireless Internet (WiFi) is necessary for college students for various reasons. First of all, it is generally agreed that students can use it to access online resources for their study promptly. For example, with a WiFi connection, they can gain and share information on online databases such as libraries and lectures. Secondly, it appears that the Internet also allows many students to improve their performance at college. Research by Daly (2013) indicated that 75% of the students believed Wi-fi on campus helped them gain higher marks and 44% of them claimed it increased their productivity. Furthermore, another great benefit of using the Internet on campus is that it may enable students to interact with one another more easily. Thanks to the great variety of applications such as BenchPrep Companion, EasyBib, Brainscape and so on, and social networks including online discussion forums, language groups or social clubs, students can now reach out and connect with others so much more conveniently than ever before, helping them to expand their social circles. Overall, there are clearly numerous reasons why WiFi should be available for use on campus.

Doing tasks in a group can be advantageous for the students in a college in various ways.It is believed that doing work together in a college  will make it easier for weaker students to know details about their course and subjects. For example, while doing assignments, for preparing notes or for exams weaker students can receive help from stronger ones if they work together. This benefit leads to another one: with more communication between the students, they can easily share their views and ideas which will be helpful to widen their knowledge or perspectives on the topics of their studies. They can get and share learning ideas while completing their work in a group. The tasks can be completed in a shorter time if everyone works well together. On other words, the group can discuss the task and it will be easy to find out the best answers of the given work in a short time. Besides these, it will be beneficial for the group to gain an idea about the country, culture and languages of different countries  which will be helpful in their research work.The improvement on vocabulary and pronunciation can be made by communicating with peers. overall, the students can become more motivated and encouraged to reach out and help other team members if the work is done in a group.

Group study is an effective way to gain more knowledge instead of studying alone.First of all, it is generally agreed that there are many students around different universities who prefer to study in group. For example, with the help of group study students are able to communicate with each other, which helps them express their perspectives through negotiation and discussion. Secondly, students will have to manage their timetable. According to an article from Oxford learning (2018), some students have to mange their study plan because they work better in day time and others work better in night time. Furthermore, another great benefit of using this technique is that it can help the students to participate and encourage them to compete with their fellows. As stated by Hammer & Hempel (2013) through this study method students take interest in studies. For example, every group has few extraordinary students who work hard in studies, so they teach slower learners which will also help them to gain more knowledge. Overall, group study can help the students to be motivated, have interest in studies and help to manage their life more effectively.

High consumption of sodium is an enormous issue worldwide. Excessive intake of sodium is a major contributor to blood pressure. Hypertension is a common disorder in which the blood's long-term force against the artery walls is elevated high enough to cause health issues, for example, a heart disease, as claimed by Mayo Clinic (2018). Furthermore, sodium could also affect the kidney. Salt intake enhances the production urinary protein which is a significant factor for developing kidney diseases.

The dangers of consuming too much of salty food
Eating too much of salty food over time can probably lead to various health problems such as heart, kidney diseases and also affects human brain. Firstly, high blood pressure is seen as a major risk of consuming excessive salty food. As claimed by Nordqvist (2017), salt contains 40% sodium and excess intake of sodium can lead to high blood pressure which may result in heart attack or stroke. Moreover, eating a lot of salt containing food is linked to a rise in hypertension (Pesantes, Diez-Canseco, Bernabe-Ortiz, Ponce-Lucero, & Miranda, 2017). Furthermore, brain also gets affected by high consumption of salt. This is because it declines the immune system of the body and hamper the brain function (Nordqvist, 2017). Thirdly, chronic kidney diseases may also accur due to the huge amount of salt consumption. On top of that, the World Cancer Research Fund and American Institute for Cancer Research concluded that salt, as well as salted and salty foods, are a “probable cause of stomach cancer.”

The benefits of college students working in groups

College students can benefit from working in a group in several ways. It is likely that students involved in group work show increased individual achievement compared to student working alone. First of all, it is through group work that students are able to develop their cooperative learning skills and experience. For example, when students are working in groups they can easily share their ideas and can learn from others as well. In the article by Soetanto &  MacDonald (2017), it is stated that "More hands make for lighter work" which simply explains it all. Secondly, it is agreed that student group work could enhance communication and other professional development skills. Research by Attle and Baker (2007) indicates that 80% of workers usually works in group. In that way they are able to find their jobs more easier to be done. Therefore, it is strongly suggested that college students should find themselves comfortable to work in groups so as to help them become more confident as in the future they can easily get involved with team work.

The benefit of group study.
College students can benefit from working in a group in several ways. Group study requires students to share what they know and discuss it with the group. These group activities improve communication skills, social skills and interactions. Firstly, students learn to be more active than passive by discussing with friends. Additionally, working together in a group can save time and the projects could be finish before the due time. It is because the students do the projects with friends who can potentially find solutions to the problems which are more complex if they solve on their own. The third benefit is that students have the opportunity to learn new things from each other.   Petress and Kenneth (2004) state "When they are able to clearly articulate what they know, are able to answer probing questions about their knowledge, and are able to withstand challenges to what they know, their knowledge is reinforced and verified." On top of that, many agree that group study van challenging yet motivating and fun. Overall, it is safe to say that studying in a group can benefit the students in several ways.

Consumption of salty foods in bigger amount might have numerous health hazards. First of all, saly is added in the food that we consume daily which is regarded as a major  cause of hypertension and that may lead to heart diseases and stroke. Increase in blood pressure is the primary cause of cardiovascular diseases, responsible for 62% of stroke and 49% coronary heart disease (He & MacGregor, 2006). Secondly, salty food might also harm or deteriorate the function of kidneys.

Using music at school
Many people certainly believe that using songs is a useful method for a school to help many students improve their learning skills. First of all, it is generally agreed that teaching English to young learners must use music in class activities. According to Millington (2011), listening skill can be improved by playing some simple songs with the rhythm and melody. For example, Hello is the simplest song so teacher can teach their students learn how to sing it and practice together. Besides, many pupils find it enjoyable and relaxing to listen to music and believe this may help them ease stress before important exams.

Benefits of group study

There are ample benefits for students to work in a group.First and foremost, students in study groups can generally learn faster than students studying alone. For example, sometimes students find difficulties while study alone. However, in a group study students can learn quickly by asking questions. In addition, collaborative learning can potentially improve critical thinking skills and boost  students' self esteem. For instance, if students are actively involved in interacting with each other on a regular basis then it improves their confidence as well as communications skills, as stated by Laal and Ghodsi (2012). Moreover, students have opportunities to share ideas, clarify differences, problem-solve and build new understanding. In other words, stresses could reduce while group study because students working together are more motivated to achieve than they would be when working individually.

Backpacking, noways, seems to be the most common way of travel the world for young people in their 20', but with this also has some problems. One of the main problems for this young generation is communication. First of all let me begin by saying that most of the backpackers I know have a lack of vocabulary. For example, when i first moved in the USA i had my first day a work as a waiter and i wasn't even able to answer a simple question. Now i'd like to explain this by saying that sometimes this comes also from a lack of confidence. In my case, for example, i did know English at the time, and felt i really had little confidence in myself because i never really practiced it. The second point of why backpacker have communication problems is that some of the locals are really hard to understand. Some people use slang, for example when i've been travel in Australia's rural area i found it really difficult to understand their accent. In some cases  they just speak too fast or use incomplete sentences, like for example, working in a farm in Tasmania "fella" is how they like to call me sometimes. They come to me ask "you doing mate??" and i wasn't sure if it mean "how you doing" or what you doing" sometimes could get a bit hard to understand. After many years traveling i can say that at start it may be difficult to get used to the language but with time and practice it gets easier.

Collaborative learning

Collaborative learning is important for college students because it has advantages to the individual student. First of all, it is a learning object that combines students experiences to improve their ability, skills, and professions by sharing knowledge. whoever, collaborative class the effective way to keep the student learn and busy. For example, theoretical lecturing allows making the students feel bored. "This is important because understanding possible causes of ineffective collaboration can help teachers to promote more successful and enjoyable CL experiences."(Janssen,& Wubbels,2017 ).

How to narrow the generation gap

Several steps can aid in narrowing a generation gap. Firstly, it is necessary to show each other more mutual respect and attempt to accommodate rather than change. For example, a good relationship can occur between youngsters and elders if they listen to each other more (Levenson, n.d.). What’s more, more communication is  essential because people should not only spend time on  talking, but also seek to understand each other. Finally, they should accept different opinions and understand that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. According to Morin (2000), the two generations have their own unique experiences and perspectives, they are bound to differ in opinions and point of views regarding various aspects of life such as lifestyle, career choices and much more. So, to narrow the gap, they should be willing to accept that the differences are natural and that each has a right to their own belief. Acknowledging this can help in bridging the gap.

College Essay Support
College students can improve their essay in a number of ways. It is often the case that improving creative writing requires massive amount of exercises and practice (Bennett , 2008). This suggests that actual writing is not just being attentive to lectures dedicated to writing or doing grammar or vocabulary exercises. What helps in achieving success in improving creative writing skills is also reading appropriate texts and wise support from the teacher. The survey which is described later presents this finding as the most essential. Creative writing, though, should not be viewed as associate degree activity that happens solely inside a course room’s walls (Bennett, 2008). Lecturers have to support students’ development of writing habits and preferences also outside university. It is very good when teachers recognize that almost all students do intensive amounts of writing for their own purposes: emails, journals, instant electronic communication, internet sites, and blogs.

Positive & Negative Effects of Ecotourism

Kennedy, R.  (August, 2016). Ecotourism is a big earner for many African countries.

Ecotourism is an important sector of the tourist industry, and the United Nations estimates that the sector will contribute 25 percent of the world's tourism revenues in 2012. Precise definitions vary, but the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization defines the term broadly as "tourism and recreation that is both nature-based and sustainable." Ecotourism emphasizes taking care of the natural environment and often involves local people in the provision of tourist facilities, but has both positive and negative impacts.

Natural Environments
Ecotourism generates money from natural environments by encouraging tourists to visit and, during their stay, pay for items like entrance fees, concessions and licenses, according to Frances E. Vieta of the United Nations. Re-casting the environment as a way for local communities to look after themselves therefore encourages them to take care of it. Yet the influx of ecotourists can also degrade the natural environment the tourists have come to see. Letting tourists loose in a delicate ecosystem can lead to pollution and impact on the environment in unforeseen ways -- one study in a Costa Rican national park found that wild monkeys turned into garbage feeders, becoming familiar with the presence of ecotourists and eating the food and rubbish left behind.

Development
Proponents argue that, by involving local people in accommodating tourists and acting as guides, ecotourism aids development. In Uganda, for example, hundreds of locals supplement their income by working as rangers or field staff in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. In many cases, local communities work as partners with ecotourism organizations rather than just as participants. However, ecotourism can also limit development prospects for local communities. Jim Butcher of Canterbury Christ Church University in England believes that ecotourism's focus on preserving "nature" damages local people's ability to develop sustainably and lift themselves out of poverty. The environment is effectively prioritized above the needs of local people.

Financial Benefits
Only $5 of every $10 spent by tourists in the developing world stays there, according to The United Nations Environment Programme. The involvement of local people in ecotourism allows its proponents to contend that it helps prevent this "leakage" of tourist income out of the host country through international hotel chains and tour operators. Other researchers have pointed to the ability of these same chains and operators to label themselves as ecotourism-friendly by undertaking very minor changes, a process known as "greenwashing." A large hotel using biodegradable cleaning products and recycling some of its waste can get the same "green" credentials as a small jungle lodge.

Cultural Impact
Ecotourism can have a cultural impact on local communities. Ecotourists are often partially motivated by the chance to experience local culture, which can have a positive and affirming effect on that culture. Involving local people in decision-making not only tends to make them more positive about tourism, but also empowers them as a community. However, negative effects also exist, such as the transformation of traditional cultural symbols into commodities to sell to visitors, the disruption of the pre-existing relationships between local people and higher incidences of crime.

Harmful Effects of Fertilizers & Pesticides

by Chet Carrie; Updated September 30, 2017

The benefits of using fertilizers and pesticides to keep crops healthy are the driving force behind the widespread use of these treatments. Curtailing blights, disease, insects and malnourishment, fertilizers and pesticides help maximize the food stocks gain from each acre of field agriculture. However, the use of chemical sprays, powders and gases can bring about unintentional harm to those exposed both directly and indirectly and to the environment surrounding the crop.

Exposure

Those who use fertilizers and pesticides are at increased risk of direct exposure to harmful chemicals and vapors. Pesticides, in particular, are designed to repel and kill insects, plants, fungi and even rodents. Farmers and workers exposed to pesticides over long periods of time exhibit symptoms of neurological damage, including dizziness, hand tremors and headaches. Pesticide exposure in children can manifest as problems with neurological development and can affect the development of a fetus through maternal contamination. Pesticide exposure is linked to prostate cancer, Parkinson's disease, birth defects and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Water Supply

Many fertilizers and pesticides are made from liquid or powdered chemicals designed to be spread efficiently over the entire area of the targeted crop. However, this efficacy also makes crop treatments easy to disperse with a simple gust of wind or falling rain. Airborne chemicals are easily blown into neighborhoods or schools zones in rural areas, and groundwater supplies can be contaminated by tainted rainwater. Well-water supplies that service entire families can then transport the chemicals into the home and bring about the harmful effects of low-dosage exposure. Contaminated creeks, rivers and lake areas can also increase human chemical exposure.

Environment

The chemicals and nutrients found in fertilizers, while beneficial for agricultural crops, can be lethal in high doses for fish, birds and other wildlife. Pesticides, designed to kill pests chemically, are also dangerous when leached into soil or groundwater supplies. Heavy amounts of fertilizer chemicals like potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus in natural water systems can actually cause "dead zones" where wildlife cannot survive because of lower oxygen levels and chemical poisoning. Beneficial insects and organisms like honeybees and soil microbes can be killed alongside the pests, eliminating some of the ecosystem beneficial to crop health and sustainability.

While many argue that it brings about numerous benefits for both the tourist and the host country, several concerns have been raised about the impact of tourism. This essay aims to discuss the advantages and drawbacks of tourism in three different aspects: economic, cultural, and environmental.
