My essay
It’s nearly impossible as well as unfair to underestimate the role of technology and the benefits of the technological growth in our modern life. It has lead us to the new era, the one of possibilities and taking chances, the one where genuinely everyone can reckon on success due to current opportunities provided by the technological development. Thus, there’s nothing free as we know and everything has its price. So has the highly technologized contemporary world.
First of all, it’s worth mentioning that the technological progress literally managed to unite the entire world. There are no borders any longer at least in the other side of the computer screen, it has precisely become easier to share and interchange information as well as communicate anytime anywhere. On the other hand, this brought to the unnecessity of in person communication, so nowadays people do suffer the lack of it.
However, what really needs deep consideration is the relationships. Doubtlessly they have been affected the most. Although people stay in touch 24/7 they prefer being at home with some online affairs rather than going out and spending time face to face. Unfortunately, this is especially across-the-board with teenagers and young people. Once again we would just give a call than pay a visit to our family, friends or relatives.
It’s true that it has become easier to live but from another angle we see that people has become loners seeking for their inch of land under the sun sacrificing all they can and relationships go the first place in this list.

What's the problem!
I have been thinking about my knowledge of English and came to an interesting thing. For me it turned out to be a PARADOX: I know English well and at the same time I don't know it at all. I am sure that many ESL have the faced this problem once in their way of possessing a foreign language.
I may say for sure that I know English well, and it's true. I read a lot and not only fiction books but newspapers, magazines and other literature as well. I watch movies, mostly without subtitles, different programs, I listen to English songs most of my time, in fact I know all of them by heart. To prove the foresaid I can say that I understand pretty well what I read or watch or listen. I refer to dictionaries not often, and even if I don't know a word I understand from the context. Those rare words I translate I do just to know them. there are many people I talk to here in ITALKI and I do understand them also.
So, what's the problem? why do I say that I don't know English at all?
Actually, I understand English but I cannot use it. I mean when I speak I cannot remember the proper word, I cannot collect my thoughts and say exactly what I want to. I face the problem that I can't find words I need. The most offensive thing is that when I look them up in a translator I recognize them. I see I have already come up to these words many times. Of course I express myself changing words to easier ones, but this is not what I aim. I want to be fluent, I wish I could the proper words without any hesitation.
They say you don't know the language until you can speak on it. I say I don't know it. It's very difficult to accept. it's so humbling. Anyway you should try harder, never give up, and one day the language will obey you.
but how to come to this? Here is the question!!!!!!!!!

today was an exciting day
Hi! I'm doing English long already. I really need it. I know I have some problems in vocabulary and writing (I mean letters and essays). I was trying to study myself, I woke up every day and promised that I would start right that day. I realized that I needed practice particularly in writing. I am a busy person, and, of course, I have no time( I used to think). a week ago I decided to hire a teacher. You know I have a bad character, I must always be the first (best). I was the first at the university, I am the first in my work, and I'm doing a good career now. I know if I have a teacher I would be her best student. That's why I came to that decision. I had my first trial lesson today and I'm very excited. I think I will approach my goal one day. at least, I'll do my best. ))) and this is the first time I'm writing something. I've always avoided it.
