Proposal for improving foreign students’ language in order to pass exams Introduction The principal purpose of this report is to provide a description of the importance of helping foreign students to become more proficient in their oral language skills. Current situation I conducted interviews with random foreign students that have arrived recently. Most of the come here with proficient reading and listening skills, but they haven’t had much practice with speaking. Speaking is needed to integrate with other students and it also helps their studies. A possible speaking programme A speaking programme could encourage foreign students to integrate with native speakers. The programme should have regular session outside their academic study time, so they can practice without disregarding their obligations. Recommendations My recommendations for setting up a programme would be: - A professor should run the meetings - A series of topic to discuss each class which should be known before so they can prepare. - Foreign and native students should be invited to different activities to promote the integration such as parties, cinema trips and walks. Taking all the factors mentioned into account I strongly recommend implementing the programme as soon as possible.

Advantages and disadvantages of living in a small town or village as opposed to a big city It is often claimed that living in a small town it is better than living in a big city. First of all, small towns usually have bigger and more affordable houses which can usually have grounds where you can do a lot of things like: building a pool where you can relax after a hardworking day, you can make your own vegetable garden where you can grow the vegetables and fruits that you want. Furthermore, small towns have less population which makes them quieter and a nicer place to live. Additionally, people are closer and you can get to know well your neighbors. In the other hand there are some disadvantages of living in a small town. To begin with, there are less shops, entertainment places and schools, so most of the times you will need to use a car or public transport to go to a near big city. What´s more, it is easier to find a job in a big city. Finally, you have everything nearer and you normally can walk everywhere. Taking everything into consideration, living in a small town or a big city depends on what kind of life style you prefer.
