Comment 1
I think computer programming is a language, and it help people to communicate with machines and programs. Moreover, in 21st century, I think computer language become more and more valuable than a natural language. I don’t really understand why you said “ I fervently believe that foreign language learning is essential for children’s development into informed and productive citizens of the world.” You know, if I want to travel in the future, I probably want to learn the language. But I’m not a traveler. Beside, we have many high tech device such as phone and translator, they both can help you in the travel. And I also believe that computer language can communicate with people all over the world in the future. As I know, many country in the Europe have already consider English as their second language, which means nearly all the European can speak and understand English. As the result, to learn a foreign language is less important than learn a computer language.

Comment 2
I think monolingual is a disadvantage in the increasingly international economy, even English has become the main language of business. It is because foreign language represent a culture. You can know a lot when you learn a foreign language. I think language is not part of culture, language is culture. That’s why I agree with the writer said “Language is essential — perhaps the essential — marker of our species.” For example, I am a Chinese student. I learned English when I was 10 years old. Before that age, I know nothing about American culture and can’t understand some American movie. In the middle school, after four years learning, I become interested in American culture. I know what’s freedom and independent in the movies.


Comment 3
Computer science jobs have helped boost wages in the U.S.

Reply:
The Bureau of Labor predicts the demand for computer programmers will decrease 8 percent by 2024. As more and more college student major in computer science, there must be fierce  competition in the future. Moreover, know a foreign language can provide new chance. For example, you might be audited by a firm of external auditors. So learn a foreign language is more helpful than learn computer code on job.

Moves 1.  We all knew of the SAT, for instance, but had no concrete idea of how to prepare for it.  This is the result of no single staff member dedicated to helping students apply to college. However, the writer write about this move before blame no staff member. It is because to show a strict result first can give some thinking, more importantly, it explain how small things cause a big problem step by step. 2.  We were also on our own As a student, we can not do too many things by ourselves. The words “ also ”  shows as a poor student they need to do somethings that they shouldn ’ t do. 3.  I almost missed out on qualifying for aid because I couldn ’ t get the forms I needed from my mother, who was still  my legal guardian. This moves shows the writer still not give up. The word “ still ”  shows the realistic is cruel. 4.  I was not alone This moves shows it ’ s not a rare phenomenon. And it shows the how big group of st...

Self-introduction Max

    I am a dynamic boy with a wide range of interests since childhood: drawing, playing the piano, skating, singing, table tennis, calligraphy and travelling.     Take my experience with table tennis as an example. My story with table tennis began since Grade six, I remember it was a summer day when I stayed in my mother’s office waiting for her and suddenly a pair of table tennis bats just drew my attention. At that moment, an idea just popped in my mind that I should really try activities like playing table tennis there. So I searched the whole office area and found an abandoned table ideal for playing table tennis on and a spacious room which could be used as an activity room. Later, I placed a large piece of cardboard in the middle and supported it with two books, which brought my handmade table tennis table into being.     What the sports meant to me was more than a pastime. During playing with my mother’s colleagues, I found many of them tale...
