Youngsters should learn English because it can help them in many ways. When they know English, they can find better jobs in their country or in other countries. Many companies need workers who can speak English. English also helps students study abroad or join international programs. It is used in travel, business, and on the internet, so it gives young people more chances to learn new things and meet new people. Knowing English can also make students feel more confident.
There are many simple ways to learn English. Students can start by speaking easy sentences with friends or classmates. They can listen to English songs, watch short videos, or follow English learning channels with subtitles. Reading short stories or easy articles can also help. Joining an English class is useful because a teacher can guide them. Free apps and online tools are good for daily practice. The most important thing is to study a little every day.
Some problems may appear. Students may feel shy or scared to speak. Some may not have time, money, or a good internet connection. English sounds and grammar can also be hard. But with patience, small goals, and regular practice, students can improve step by step.
Learning English can help youngsters build a bright future.

On the evening of December 5th, Nikolaus comes to children’s homes. He asks if the children were good this year. Good children get presents. They can get nuts, chocolate, mandarins, or small toys. Children are happy and excited. Some families put a plate with gifts for Nikolaus.

A marathon is called a “marathon” because of a story from ancient Greece. A long time ago, a soldier named Pheidippides ran from a place called Marathon to the city of Athens. He ran to bring important news about a big battle. When he reached Athens, he gave his message and then died from the long, hard run. Because of this famous story, people later used the name “marathon” for a long-distance race. Today, a marathon is 42.195 kilometers. The name reminds us of the brave run from Marathon many years ago.

Subject: Marathon Stay – Services and Information
Dear Sir or Madam,
I hope you are well. I will stay at your resort during the upcoming marathon, and I would like to ask about the services you offer for runners. I want to make sure I am well prepared for the race.
Could you please tell me if you have an early breakfast on the marathon morning? I am looking for simple food like pasta, rice, fruit, or bread. I would also like to know if you provide water, sports drinks, or small snacks for guests.
Do you offer a shuttle to the start line or give information about the best way to get there? After the race, I may need to rest, so I am also interested in massage or recovery services, such as ice baths.
Finally, is it possible to have a late checkout on race day?
Thank you very much for your help. I look forward to your reply.
Kind regards, [Your Name]
