I have school festival, so I research on the reason of study to people, and I'm thinkin' of children who can't study with war and poverty ,the necessity of womens' education and to continue studying hard all our life, an influence of education on society etc...
And I figure that education is important for people and developement of society.
I wanna be a professor of English or histiry, and I'll give people pleasure of study. By doing so, I can contribute to society.
please write your reason of study.

My reason for studying English is so that I do not write rubbish, such as wanna, when I mean want to.
You do not write, thinkin' for thinking unless you are writing dialogue.
Women's - not womens'
Development - not developement
History - not histiry
etc., etc.,

I know that!!
In my opinion, you care about writing too much and I can't understand why do you say such a wisecrack. Are you a teacher?
Even if I cann't write, I will think that what is necessary is just to be able to talk. Because you can live, if you can understand the meaning of a text and you can speak about language, even if you cannot write.And only within those who care about grammar , when talking, they can speak about nothing.
Since almost all are using the keyboard ,anyone make a mistake,right?

It is unnatural for someone that you think you are natural.
When you attend to class, there are children who can't study and is dying splitting blood, however ,they wanna study. While you are having breakfast, infants cry because they can't eat breakfast. If they have good meals , Probably, there will be no food in the world within a month. IOW, they can't eat meals for your dinner.
What do you think about this? If you put on an air of indifference, you are egoistic.
I think People should consider the problems which have arisen in the world as their own problem.


If we were think about it, people are not born Turks or Americans. They are not born Palestinians or Jews. These are merely lables.
Each of us is born as a precious entity of life , as a human being. Our mothers didn't give birth to us thinking, "I'm giving birth to a Japanese"or "I'm giving birth to an Arab." Their only thought was "May this new life be healthy and grow!"
In any country , a rose is a rose ,a violet is a violet , people are people ― though they may be called by different names.
Perhaps the clouds and winds high above the blue waters of the Bosporus are whispering among themselves as they gaze down upon humanity: "Wake up! From up here , it is clear that the world is one. You are all citizens of Earth. There is no such thing as Americans , no such thing as Iraqis. There is only this boy, this life, called Bob, who happens to live in America; there is only this boy , this life, Mohammed, who happens to live in Iraq . Both are children of Earth. And yet they are divided by names of their countries and taught to hate each other! Wake up from this foolishness, this arrogance , this cruel habit of passing hatred and resentment on to the next generation."
We need to awaken to a common consciousness of being all inhabitants of Earth. This consciousness is not be found in some distant place. It will not be found on a computer screen. It lies in our hearts, in our ability to share the pain of our fellow human beings. It is the spirit that says: "As long as you are suffering , whoever you are and whatever your suffering may be, I suffer also."
