What for? - Wordcount: 240 - Make comments on 3 of your partners' posts. Let’s talk about learning English. Learning this language has been a plus in my life.

Upload pictures Make comments on 3 of your classmates’ posts  Word Count: 220 words Throughout this pandemic and after feeling isolated from the world, one of the first thing I would love to do is to travel. I love to go to India to visit a country with culture so different to ours. I have heard that India is a country of extremes, in short is a culture shock for every Western visitor. T he crowded cities, cows on the roads, homeless people on the pavement, the dung and dirt on the road, crazy train rides can be quite an interesting experience.
