Hi. I will have the test in Vancouver,BC,and for now I am in vacation with my daughter, so, no more speaking and writing practice until the second day of Sept.

Hi, I will try a rescoring for the speaking part because I got 1 good and 2 fair [23] but what can I do with W 20? I think that is too low for a rescoring[i need 24]. I need a little encouragement, please.

my third attempt R 29 L 29 S 23 W 20 I need S 26 and W 24.For the last two attempts I got the same S 23, but W 22.

Why do you think some people are attracted to dangerous sports or other dangerous activities? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. For me it seems inutile and irrational to practice dangerous sports and activities, and many times I tried to find reasons and explanations behind this strange hobby. So, I will try again, to find some reasons for this practice. One of the reason for practicing extreme sports could be a sign of immaturity, because not a mature person would expose himself to a such a great risk, without a meaningful reason. I think that is normal for somebody to put himself in a dangerous situation trying to save a life, but to risk his life, his health just because of this kind of hobby, I think this is an irresponsible act. Another reason could be the need for fame, the need to be in the spotlight, and I think that practicing these kind o activities you will draw the attention of others and people will speak about you. Some people will speak about you in a good way, and will appreciate your courage; others will speak about you in a bad way, underlying the lack of the meaning for this sport. But, you had become a famous person. Another reason could be the type of personality. “Alive” for some people is to feel the adrenaline rush, to live at extreme, to push themselves beyond the “normal” limits. They love challenges and they love to take the risks. I am not this kind of person, and for me is hard to find reasonable reasons for dangerous sports and activities. However, this does not mean that I do not have a great respect for them, because sometimes even I would like to have the courage and to try dangerous activities.

Agree or disagree? There is nothing that young people can teach older people? I disagree with the idea that there is nothing that young people can teach older people. From my experiences, I know that young people can teach older people about using new technologies, about fashion and about youth culture. First, young people know everything about using a computer ,using the internet and some devices as I pods or cell phones. People from my generation are reticent to use these modern gadgets because all seem very sophisticated and hard to manipulate. So, this is the place in which young people can intervene , can help. I didn’t know to access the internet and to do some research on the computer, but my daughter helped me a lot. She helped me to understand how the cell phone works because I was lost with some many options. I think that I am not an isolated case; I think that many people from my generation benefit from the help of young people. Second, the young people know about fashion more that older people because fashion is an important part in the life of young people. They want to be well dressed, attractive and this is a sector in witch they can help us, older people. My daughter wants to become a fashion designer and she studies about fashion rules and currents(trends), so I trust her and I listen at(to) her suggestions about what to wear.She helps me a lot in this area . Third , young people can teach older people about youth culture; about youth music, artists, about youth forms of dance, so we can understand better the new generation, their priorities, their philosophies, trough the way of their culture. Yes, older people are wise and have life experiences, but the young people are better anchored in the modern life, with all the technology, the fashion, the music, and I think that learning from them, can be a win –win situation.

I totally agree with the idea that the progress is always good, and I am thinking here at the progress in science and technology , and the progress in the social area. Progress in science and technology has a great, positive, impact in our lives; we live longer and we live better because of that. Improvements made in medical field were an open door to new possibilities of treatment, new approaches and solutions regarding the medical act, regarding investigational methods and ways of treatment. For example, if somebody needs to have removed the gallbladder, today, with the laparoscopic procedure, it is possible in shorter time and without risk of complications, comparing with standard procedure. And this type of surgery make possible for the patient to go home in few hours after interventions. So, the intervention is safer, the cost of medical act is lower, the patient’s recovery is faster. Because of the progress, this is possible today. Another example of the benefit of progress is in the way of understanding our lives, the way of understanding the importance of women in our society, without the past ignorance and prejudices The progress in the social area gives us the chance to see a different approach regarding human relations and human rights. Years ago, women did not have access at some career, as a doctor, for example, and was a revolutionary act for a female to accede to a medical doctor career. Now, we are able to understand and accept the differences and the similarities between people, we are able to live together in peace and harmony, to share our cultural believes and our religions , because of the progress in the social area. The progress is the driving force in our society ,and I think that progress is always good, because progress improves our lives’ standard and our understanding about live meanings
