[Moderator] May 11, 2010, 09:49pm #2 Well, I am not as qualified to answer this question as someone in your field.What would you consider a good job? Are there services you can provide over the Internet? Also, would you be interested in working in America, where there are different kinds of opportunities? (though the American economy is going though desperate times...).I read some research studies that showed that employers in Canada sometimes tend to discriminate against foreign born youth. Maybe others will contribute to this thread and help us to understand it. ALSO: you should post your resume here for people to give you feedback. I use Craigslist for a lot of what I do. Craigslist is powerful. I hope a lot of people in Canada will respond to this post and give you advice! Feel free to link people to this post when you help them with their essays.

TetanyaThreads: 6Posts: 37Author: Tanya Dmutrenko Jul 23, 2010, 07:34am #10 I am realy glad to meet someone from Ukraine!!!I've read your essay. It seems that you know English very good! How long have you been studying English language?
YayzThreads: 10Posts: 179Author: Maria Zilberman Jul 23, 2010, 07:37am #11 Thank you =) Well, I came to America when I was four and had to figure out the language in Kindergarden, I do not remember the experience but my mother said it was shocking for me. I am in 12th grade now so I have been learning it for quite a while haha :-)
TetanyaThreads: 6Posts: 37Author: Tanya Dmutrenko Jul 23, 2010, 07:48am #12 You are lucky! You did not have to learn every word and every grammar structure. Unfortunately, I have to do it and I think I will remember this experience forever.
ershad193Threads: 14Posts: 421Author: Ershad Hussain Jul 24, 2010, 02:00pm #13 Hello Tanya! Hi Maria!I'm from India. I joined this forum to improve my writing (well, initially I joined just to get some help with my admissions essay), as English is not my first language. Even though all the schools I attended had English as the medium of instruction, I was never very attentive in my language classes. But as the cliched saying goes, "better late than never". :)Hey Tanya, how is Ukraine like. I don't know much about it, except that it's really cold.Tetanya: It seems that you know English very good!I agree. You really know your stuff, Maria!
YayzThreads: 10Posts: 179Author: Maria Zilberman Jul 24, 2010, 02:35pm #14 Hello, Ershad!India seems very cool! I have never been there, but from the bits and pieces of what I know it sounds pretty awesome :)I wish I remembered Ukraine better.Thank you, both. Living here for so long I think English has transformed itself into my native tongue...and now Russian is in a weird limbo between being my 1st & 2nd language haha
ershad193Threads: 14Posts: 421Author: Ershad Hussain Jul 25, 2010, 12:09am #15 Hey MariaIndia is a cool place. I consider it as a compact version of the world. Here everything changes within a 200 sq. km area, yet there is something that remains common; something that every Indian knows, but can't describe.Yayz: I wish I remembered Ukraine better.Have you never visited Ukraine, like on a holiday or something?
YayzThreads: 10Posts: 179Author: Maria Zilberman Jul 25, 2010, 07:57am #16 HelloThat sounds great! India is definintely something special =)ershad193: Have you never visited UkraineUnfortunately, I have not. But! I plan to ^^

I visited this excellent website fortuitously, When I was searching for a common phrase in the web. I was looking for a special web-based solution for my questions through the process of admission essay writing, and now I think I've found that. I believe this website not only helps us by improvements to our English, but it also provides us with the ways to meet new people and making new friends.

TetanyaThreads: 6Posts: 37Author: Tanya Dmutrenko Jul 26, 2010, 04:39am #21 Hey Ershad193Hey Tanya, how is Ukraine like. I don't know much about it, except that it's really cold.Who told you that Ukraine is very cold? That is not true. It is only cold in winter from December to February. You know, we have four seasons. Maybe you confused Ukraine with Russia. Some areas there are really cold.(However, you might be wright:Ukraine is much colder than India in winter).I know a little about India, from films.
ershad193Threads: 14Posts: 421Author: Ershad Hussain Jul 26, 2010, 07:20am #22 Tetanya: Maybe you confused Ukraine with Russia.Well, I thought they were a bit similar. Sorry, my bad! :)Tetanya: Ukraine is much colder than India in winterThat's partly what I meant. Tetanya: I know a little about India, from films.Haha...in that sense, India is a bit like the US. Everyone knows about US because of the movies, TV, and stuff. Although, appearances can be deceiving sometimes.
YayzThreads: 10Posts: 179Author: Maria Zilberman Jul 26, 2010, 10:08am #23 ershad193: appearances can be deceiving sometimesDefinitely, especially when something is happening on a completely different part of the earth. Since you cannot experience it for yourself, you only have indirect information...shall we trust the movie makers that may have their own agendas? I love how life is full of little choices like this!
amirs1365Threads: 1Posts: 8Author: Amir Semnani Jul 27, 2010, 03:35am #24 Hi Ershad,Thanks for your kindness and friendship. I will post my writings here to be revised whenever I reach to the step of writing a SOP or etc through my admission process. Now I am engaged in preparing myself for TOEFL iBT and GRE exam. Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated.
amirs1365Threads: 1Posts: 8Author: Amir Semnani Jul 27, 2010, 12:50pm #25 Hi Maria, That's my pleasure to contact with people from different parts of the world, with different religions and different cultures. Thanks for sharing your idea with me. I think you are right to some extend, yeah, we are the academic my space. Would you please tell me about your education?
EF_KevinThreads: 33Posts: 14,204Author: You can help a lot of people by visiting the "Unanswered" threads! [Moderator] Jul 27, 2010, 01:01pm #26 amirs1365: Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated.You should write an essay for me. Write about your plan for the next 5 years. If you have no plan, you should come up with one in the next 10 minutes. It can be a tentative plan. A tentative plan = a plan you might change. Anyway, write three paragraphs. Begin each paragraph with a topic sentence.Do you know what "topic sentence" means? It is a sentence that starts a paragraph, and it explains the paragraph's main idea. Tell me three ideas about your future. Use a paragraph for each idea. Start each paragraph with a topic sentence.:-)
amirs1365Threads: 1Posts: 8Author: Amir Semnani Jul 27, 2010, 08:13pm #27 Dear KevinThanks for your suggestion. I think I owe you an apologize because I forgot to thank you for saying welcome to me!Your suggestion is exactly the work which I everyday spend a part of my time on it. I believe a man without any plan is like a piece of wood floating on the sea surface. Surely I'll do that.
TetanyaThreads: 6Posts: 37Author: Tanya Dmutrenko Jul 28, 2010, 06:05am #28 Hi Ershad,In fact, Russia and Ukraine have something in common, but people are different. I know that because my Mom is Russian and she seems different from my father's relatives who always lived in Ukraine. I'm happy that I live here. If I were offered to move to Russia, I would refuse. I think Ukrainians try to find better life in developed countries, moving to the USA, Canada and EU countries. Of course we do not consider Russia as developed country, so not many citizens of Ukraine would be glad to move in such country.I agree with you that films do not always show the truth. But India is such a big country, so everyone wants to know something about it. I watched a program on travel channel about India. Some things were shocking for me, but its culture, history and religion seem very interesting.

ershad193Threads: 14Posts: 421Author: Ershad Hussain Jul 29, 2010, 09:14am #30 Tetanya: Some things were shocking for me, but its culture, history and religion seem very interesting.There are some deep cultural differences between India and mostly, the western countries. Sometimes these differences can be overwhelming.Gender inequality is a big problem here. Except in urban areas, women don't enjoy an equal stature with men; and most Indians live in villages. But over the last 10-15 years, things have improved.
YayzThreads: 10Posts: 179Author: Maria Zilberman Jul 30, 2010, 08:31pm #31 amirs1365: That's my pleasure to contact with people from different parts of the worldMe too! Living here is like being in a bubble, I feel like I don't really know much about what is going on in the world...I don't mean big things necessarily, just how day-to-day life might be very different for people in other areas, like how Ershad mentioned gender inequality in India.
