Dear community, 👋🏻
Here is a written report I drafted, thank you very much in advance for your corrections, feedback, and comments! 😀
________________________________
The aims of this report are to outline the pathways that young people in Switzerland follow after school, to provide additional information on further studies and the kind of jobs they often get immediately after school.
🟡A wide range of choices🟡
In the Swiss educational system, school is mandatory until the 9th class, namely around 15 years old. Afterward, there is an array of possibilities from continuing studying, to taking a break for travelling abroad, learning new languages, or even entering the world of work.
🟢Further studies🟢
When teenagers have taken the decision to keep studying, the educational system offers them flexibility in the choice of studies. Here are some pathways they can choose from:
-10th class with general subjects offers time to prepare for entrance exams.
-Highschools deliver general subjects classes, with the obligation of specializing in one. Successfully graduating allows entering College.
-Other High schools specialized in sales also give general subjects. It allows entrance to college in Economics.
-Apprenticeships exist in almost every domain and are geared towards professional experience. Apprentices can work part-time in companies and get a salary, while also going to class. Certain apprentices can go to college by fulfilling their requirements.
🟣Most common jobs🟣
As explained above, the easiest way to get a job while studying is by doing an apprenticeship. Although some common jobs are student ones, such as babysitting, serving at cafés, working in festivals, etc.
The above information comes from personal experience in this educational system, and from friends and people I have met while growing up in Switzerland.

Hello! :)
Here's a writing task on ways to encourage people to practice sports more often. Thank you very much in advance for your comments and feedback!
________________________________________________________________
It is generally well known that sports contribute to good health, as well as having other benefits. Despite a high number of people being aware of this, not all of them actually have a regular exercise routine. Therefore between cheap facilities and campaigns involving famous athletes, which would be the most effective in increasing the practice of sports?
Firstly, what might be missing is perhaps the availability of cheap or free facilities. Indeed if existing fitness were free, there is a great probability that more people might give it a try. Everyone likes getting things for free, so this would certainly be a great incentive, and the economic aspect would not be a barrier for low-income people anymore. Obviously, these centers alone could not afford not charging any fee, unless the government were to fund them. Although, opening these centers to the public sporadically, even one day every 4 months, would already have a massive impact on people’s motivation and health.
Secondly, some athletes are big role models to a lot of people of all ages. Campaigns, where these athletes would encourage regular sports practice, could also be quite effective. The reason behind this is that people who already admire them would undoubtedly be more prone to listen to them and try to behave like them.
In conclusion, both methods would be effective, but lowering sport facilities fees or even making them free would be the most effective. That’s because by removing the economic barrier, we would make people’s choice easier, especially if these facilities are located nearby.

Hello everyone 😄
Here's another essay I wrote, thank you very much in advance for your corrections that will hopefully help improve my writing. 🙏

🧑💻 Advantage of digital and computer technology in everyday life👩💻
In recent years we have seen exponential growth in the use of the internet worldwide, and it has become a very common tool for our everyday lives. Indeed, it offers a wide range of possibilities with a variety of advantages. From getting unfettered access to information to online shopping and services, which one is the most beneficial nowadays?
It is certainly true that learning new skills has never been easier now, compared to the years before the internet. In general, finding information is way faster now, as opposed to when people had to go to libraries. Knowledge has been democratized, and there are thousands of courses available, including university courses with diplomas recognized by employers. However, this comes with its disadvantages, since a lot of misinformation is circulating all over the internet.
On the other hand, the market has also taken advantage of this tool by offering its products and services. We have seen the rise of innovative solutions, such as Airbnb, Uber, and even supermarkets online. Shopping from the comfort of our homes has shown to be extremely useful, especially for the elderly, as we witnessed during the pandemic. People with the most fragile health can benefit from these services and thus fulfill their basic needs.
In conclusion, the internet has made our lives easier by giving us freedom of choice. Although having more knowledge is great, the fact that high-risk people can protect their health by shopping online is arguably the greatest advantage, because they are the ones who need it the most.

Dear italki community, 😄
Here's another writing task I've done, I'd cherish receiving some feedback to keep learning and improving, thank you very much in advance! 👍

🤝 *Ways adults can influence how younger people behave* 🤝
Often adults might wonder how to best help younger generations navigate through their life choices by influencing them positively. Undoubtedly one main difference between both generations, is that the older one has had a richer life experience, and learnt some lessons. How can adults make the outcome of their experiences profitable to the youth?
Firstly and as a general rule, setting the example has been a powerful way of influence through time. For instance, a lot of sportspeople have followed their dream career, thanks to idols they admired as young children. For most of them, it became a great motivation to persevere and follow their steps. However, since idols behold such great power, it is crucial that they take accountability for their behavior, in order to leave a positive impact on the youth.
Secondly, it’s been often said that giving advice is a suitable way to help others. This is accurate in some cases when teenagers are actually keen to listen. This method is also highly valuable because perhaps the advisor had to go through certain experiences, in order to learn what could’ve been better choices. Most of the time adults give advice to benefit the other person. In spite of this, some young people might prefer to learn by inevitably making their own mistakes.
Finally, both setting the example and advising young people can be greatly beneficial for them. Arguably though, being an example speaks louder than a thousand words, and therefore it is a powerful way to help youngsters.

Dear italki community,
Here's a writing task I've done, I'd love to receive some feedback to keep learning and improving, thank you very much in advance! :)

Dear Chris,
Thank you for your letter, I’m really happy about your new life, congratulations on your new job! It’s been such a long time, and I’m really excited you’re coming to town. I will be free next month, so we could totally meet so you can tell me all about your job. Recently, I have also had interesting experiences that I can't wait to tell you in person. And I could also be your tourist guide and show you around the beautiful city of Bern.
So firstly, there’s a lot of things that you could do during your free evenings. Indeed there’s a lot of beautiful cozy bars in Bern's old town we could go to. Eventually, we could walk as well around the old town which by the way is protected by UNESCO, and offers a spectacular view of ancient medieval buildings by night, I’m sure you’ll love it.
During the weekend as we would have more time, we could take a ride on a boat along the Aare river, which as you may know encircles the city center. This is the most beloved activity of locals during summer, and they usually have drinks and play music, it’s really a fun experience! Alternatively, we could go see Bern’s bears, they’re huge but also adorable. Did you know it’s a symbol of the city? That's the reason they’re so famous.
What do you think about this program? I’d love to know your thoughts on it.
I’m looking forward to your reply!
Warm regards,
Sachie.

Which facilities should receive money from local authorities?
Nowadays a recurring question might be on which facilities our local governors should promptly invest in. Whether it is in sports clubs as a synonym for healthier people, or in museums for its cultural value, both have their advantages.
Firstly, it has been well-known for centuries that sports are not only great for staying in good shape, but also for reinforcing a social sense of community. Vigorous athletes used to compete during the Olympiads as thousands of people from antique Greece gathered around this epic event. This remains mostly true, as players of group sports can get the opportunity of meeting new friends. Additionally, supporters of the same team can also feel united by sports' passion. However, most of the time supporters feel hatred for the opposing team, which unfortunately has led to fights during these events. Secondly, recent research has found that exercise helps not only release pleasant hormones such as dopamine but most importantly protect our brain from degenerative diseases like Alzheimer.
As for museums, a great advantage is that they help preserve our cultural identity which then leads to more knowledge. Therefore this could help humanity to make better decisions than past ones, by acknowledging history. Unfortunately, there is not a lot of people who regularly like to attend museums.
Finally, I would argue that health is more important than culture because by investing in sports facilities, local governors can foster public health, and then reinforce the social life and happiness of people. This could eventually decrease the money spent on hospitals.

Hello everyone,😊
Here’s an essay a wrote for the writing task attached to this post. Thank you very much in advance for your corrections and feedback 🙏🙇🏻♀️
🔶Factors which lead to success 🔶
Nowadays we live in a society where everyone wants to be successful, but what does it take for us to reach our full potential ?
First of all, having a winning attitude is fundamental to achieving success. Therefore it’s a high necessity to cultivate self-confidence, as well as a deep trust in ourselves. Indeed this is what will allow us to push our boundaries, and go beyond them. In general, it’s also crucial to set the bar high, because even if we don’t reach it, in the end we will have achieved more than if we had set it lower. Furthermore, if you trust in your capabilities, it’s more likely that other people will do as well. For instance, this can be really useful for a job interview. Although not only ambition is part of a good attitude, but also truthfulness and generosity.
Secondly, grades are also important for achieving a successful career, because it shows employers that you are capable of learning, have perseverance and the knowledge required for the job. And in most jobs, it is certainly required to have a diploma, and arguably good qualifications are proof that you have a bright mind. However it’s mostly important to have practical and soft skills, such as working well in teams and collaborating.
To sum up, I would outline that the most important factor for success is having a good attitude. Clearly because a person can have excellent grades, but also be very shy and lack confidence, and therefore not apply for the job of their dreams.

Hello 😊, here's a written task, It would be lovely to have some feedback, thanks!
You have just completed six months in a new job. In preparation for a progress meeting, you have been asked to write a report to your manager. Your report should explain what you feel you have achieved in the job so far, describe any problems you had and suggest any future training that would be suitable.
🏁 Six-month progress as a UX/UI Designer
The objective of this report after six months in this company is to outline my achievements to this date, problems encountered and useful suggestions for future training.
✴Achievements✴
First of all, these past 6 months have been a fulfilling and enriching experience professionally, as I have been allowed to perform the following achievements:
- Firstly integrating myself into the company’s culture and learning to get the tasks at hand, as well as working in interdisciplinary teams from diverse departments.
- The successful launch of our brand new product’s website and app.
♦Problems encountered♦
There is still room for improvement, as I ought to make concerns about the lack of effective organization of tasks and assets handed from my colleagues. Indeed I have lost a great amount of time searching for files sent from diverse sources. Secondly, I still have room for improvement in the 3D software owned by the company, and thus this has delayed the tasks I currently have at hand.
▶Suggestions for future training◀
Given the results of my training for which I’m grateful, I would further suggest including into my future training:
▪Effective project management
▪3D software
Additionally, in order to improve the file exchange, the widespread common use of solely our existing cloud would massively impact the effectiveness of our teamwork.
In conclusion, I’m excited to continue thriving thanks to the mentoring received until now, and accomplish the missions to the best of my abilities, to contribute to the company's growth.

Proposal Question:
Your college currently doesn’t provide enough support for students planning to spend time studying in another country.
The college is planning to introduce a special course for students planning to spend time studying abroad. Make suggestions about what to include.
_______
Course for students planning to study abroad: a proposal
In this proposal, my main aim will be to set out the current state of students who study abroad, as well as their difficulties, and finally to make some recommendations about important content that could be added to this special course.
The current situation
In a recent survey conducted among students in our College who have studied abroad, 70% of them confessed feeling lost and not having all the information needed before arriving at their University’s destination.
Ways to improve it
This special course is a wonderful initiative that has a high potential to help students. Mostly providing enough information needed before travelling, as well as useful tips about successful integration in their new universities would have a massive impact.
Recommendations
I would suggest the following topics for the course in addition to having exchange discussions:
- Better communication on available Exchange universities around the globe.
- Practical advice on how to prepare before leaving and after arriving at their destination.
- Students travelling to similar countries could work together in separate groups in order to get specific insight into their culture. Additionally, language courses could be offered to them. Hence, the highest difficulty reported by previous students who had been abroad was the language barrier.
- Advice on Mental Health, such as how to stay in touch with their families and friends while out of the country.
Implementation of the above ideas will help students feel more prepared and confident when going abroad, and contribute to a rich learning experience.

Thank you in advance for your feedback!
