1- Do you think that parents should have the authority to tell a teenager which career he or she should seek? Explain.

       In my opinion, there is no one need from you to be the best except your parents. However, the parents should advise their boys and girls to the right way. That's doesn't mean the authority to choose  their boys and girls major. They can be visible to your future better than anyone else. Finally, the best in my opinion is to seeking your favorite career with your parents, like what I did.

         I have been playing soccer since I was child. The soccer is part of my life. In the past, my family tried to limited the soccer in my life because they couldn't see me in the house. I was playing all the day even in the school. The soccer is my authority in my life.

2- What do you need to focus on doing to improve your English?

       There are some keys i have to focus on to improve my English. Each language has keys to learn it. However, the first key in my opinion is the grammar. I think the grammar is the foundation of any language. The second key is the vocabulary because when i get a lot of words and i know how to use them, my reading and my writing are going to improve. Finally, the listening skills become the third key to improve my English language skills. In my opinion, if i read more i'll write more and if i listen more i'll speak more.
