Difficult aspects of learning a new language

          Some people think that learning a new language does not have many difficult aspects and it depends just on the age of the person who is learning. It is scientifically demonstrated that young people are able to learn new languages in an easy way. However, there are still some difficult aspects when learning a new language despite the age and for me, those aspects are pronunciation, grammar and practicing.
          In the first place, pronunciation is very important because most of the times, the new language is very different than the native one. Some languages have their own rules in order to pronounce a word, according to the letters that compose it. For example, Spanish and English come from Latin, but 95% of the words are pronounced differently, even when they are written exactly in the same way and also they have the same meaning.
          Also, grammar is crucial in order to learn how to make a correct sentence to communicate with others. That is why the correct structure of the sentences we want to express will make us able to be understood. For instance in English, the subject and the verb have to be explicit in a complete sentence, but in Spanish, sometimes the subject is implicit when some verbs are conjugated in specific tenses.
          Finally, the possibility to practice the new language with other people is a strong aspect when considering which language to learn because the practice keeps the person involved with the language. For example, English is very easy if it is compared with Italian, because in one hand, English is spoken in almost every country in the world and it is more likely to find people to practice everywhere. On the other hand, Italian is just spoken in Italy.
          In conclusion learning a new language can be a very difficult thing to do if some aspects like pronunciation, grammar or practicing are not considered as important. With these aspects covered in an appropriate way, the chances of success are very high.

An historical event in my country that had a major effect

          There are a lot of important historical events that happened in Bolivia and had a major effect on the country since the Independence from the Colony in 1825. For me, one of the most important events is the Pacific War that we lost against Chile.
          The first reason is that we lost a big peace of land which contained Guano and Salitre, which are natural resources with a high price in the market of that time. The selling of those resources would have been very important for the economy. In fact, Chile invaded Bolivia and the war started because of this.
          Second, by losing the War, Bolivia gave the impression to all the other countries that it was weak and also vulnerable in the frontiers. Moreover, several countries started to invade us and generated other wars. For instance, Brazil and Paraguay took away other regions from us
