Write a paragraph about the following topic:
How do men and women communicate? Do men and women use language in the
same way to communicate? Include your opinion, reasons, and examples to
support your ideas.

Differences between men and women to communicate

The different ways that men and women use to communicate with each other. From
my point of view, Men and women have a different ways in the conversation due to the
fact that They see the world through completely different perspectives. First reason,
assertiveness in the communication. Females are less assertive in their speech, avoiding
jokes, and profanity because women speak more politely and less directly than men. For
instance, women say "Could you please open the door?". Men, in contrast, is usually more
assertive, so that they do not depend on someone's help.One clear example is that They
prefer use a map or GPS. Instead, they ask for help to someone. Second, Speech during
the conversation. Women use communication to discover how she is feeling and what she
wants to say. For instance, Her female speech as rapport talk that is the use of language
builds relations ships with others, discussion of weakness, and also show agreement with
each other. However, Researchers assert that men often dominate conversations. As a
result, men used report talk that is the use of language shows their knowledge, discussion
of sports or politics and even avoid personal topics. Finally, Gestures during the
conversation. Consequently, men look at people less directly than women who get closer
to each other, maintain eye contact, and gesture more frequently. On the other hand, men
hold their distance, rarely establish eye contact, and gestures less dramatically. In
conclusion, Men and women express gender communication differences in content, style,
and structure.
Topic 2:
Do you think English is helping people around the world to communicate better
Write a paragraph describing situations in which using English makes
communication easier or more difficult. These could be situations involving school,
work, business, shopping, or travel.

Learning and studying English

Studying English is an excellent option for getting better opportunities; however;

this might have some difficulties. First, When traveling abroad, knowing English is a
great advantage. As a result, If you know English would be highly beneficial because you
would visit several countries such as the United States, England or Australia. English is
the language more often used than other languages all over the world as If you know the
language, you have an open window to most of the countries that speak it. Second, another
essential point is that you get for better opportunities in the job. English is not only a
global language but also a language for global businesses. All multinational companies
and businesses rely on this language. Even If you speak English, you might get a
promotion. Moreover, These jobs are usually well-paid, so you can make a difference
with your fluent English in these places. Third, a positive aspect is that It Helps You Get
Into Great Universities. It means If you learn this language, you will get a better degree
and access to several universities such as Harvard, Stanford, Oxford, Cambridge or MIT.
On the other hand, learning English has some difficulties, too. The main disadvantage of
studying English is the difficulty often associated with learning it. Spelling in English is
a matter of memorization because various words that sound one way are spelled
differently. Many English words have the same or almost the same meaning; therefore, it
is difficult at times to know which word uses. Second; another essential downside is its
Flexibility and Rigidity. For instance, English has very rigid syntax rules, Textbooks
provide examples based on this "proper" form. Finally, another drawback is that studying
English is expensive. Some people have the opportunity to study English but others
haven't money to pay it because of their poverty. In conclusion, I believe that in my
opinion there are more advantages than disadvantages. While some slangs might still give
even native speakers a hard time, consequently; if you learn English, you will get a great
benefit for understanding the world around you, in addition, you would get better
opportunities such as education and employment.
