Writing Feedback / tobacco adverts should be banned? [13]

Yes, in my country advertising on cigarettes and liquor is prohibited now. And also smoking and drinking in public is prohibited. This rule was published by the new government two years back and now most of the people is very happy of the rule and nobody is smoking in busses or trains.

Only problem is the government gets less taxes but citizens are happy and hope that we will have a healthier society in the future.

Writing Feedback / How I learnt English [2]

Good day !

First I would like to tell you something about me. I am employed and work in a private firm in Sri Lanka, beautiful country.

I am writing here to let you know how I learnt English. In my schooling, we had no English teacher for years or sometimes we had teachers but they were not very keen to teach us well, if I frankly say.

After I left from school I was looking for a job for about three years and the main problem I had to face was my weak English knowledge. Then I determined to learn English somehow or the other and attended a private class where I had a chance to talk in English at least 5 to 10mts within two weeks.

One day one of my bosses told me that if I want to learn English the better way is teaching. So that I started a small group class for some poor students in my village to teach them English free of charge. Actually, they had no way to learn English as they were very poor. I taught them What I learnt in the class and also I always tried to grab more, learn more from other sources and tried to teach them well. Actually this method helped me to get a good knowledge in English and also my poor students got good results in examinations.

I think, Still I am not qualified in English and learning more and more everyday. Hence I request masters to correct my mistakes here and help me get a better knowledge.

I really appreciate your comments/corrections on my description.

Thanks and best regards/GSK
