Bilingualism..



  First, bilingualism is the ability to speak two languages. In some countries people are born bilingual. An example of bilingual country is Canada, here people speak English and French. However in other places is important to learn another language, for instance in Chile if you are bilingual you can get a better job.
When a person knows two languages has the easy to communicate with others. Also, exercising memory helps improve attentional skills.

Children can learn two languages easily. Unlike, adults who have difficulty learning a second language because will be difficult to learn different words and spelling rules. Experts say that hearing two languages during pregnancy helps children to be bilingual.

In our country there are few that use a language other than Spanish, because in many schools do not teach English well. However, the country needs to create professionals who manage the English language, therefore have created innovative projects to grow the number of bilingual people. An example is the program of the Mineduc "Inglés abre puertas".

Writing...

I like writing because I can express all my emotions and feelings. When I write I can develop my ideas more clearly. At the same time, writing I can see my spelliing mistakes and and I must express ideas with logic and consistency. So, I must try harder. Unlike when I speak in English that I can make more mistakes. 




Write in English will be easier o harder depending of the topics, for example will be easier to write an essay or to give an opinion about simples topics as environmental or family, and will be hard to write about politics o medicine. 


I have written essays in my mother tongue and it was difficult. I think that in English is even more complicated because an essay mustn´t repeat words. So, I must learn many synonyms.


I hope to learn to express my ideas and opinions, learn new words and learn to write essays in English.
