In these units was tought how to use transition expressions, which are a way to link or to join sentence in order to make easier the reading. As a way to practice this transition expressions we were asked to develop a paragraph using them where we had to name three advantage and disadvantages

Private schools

In these times private schools have become more popular and even have surpassed public schools. Most of the people agree with them. However, not everybody thinks the same. For example, privates are more organized than public. Nevertheless, its organization depends on the budget they have. Of course, not all private schools have a large budget. Besides, in these schools the conduct is usually better. On the contrary, public schools have been characterized for student’s behavior that nowadays affects in Venezuela. Although, some teachers generally are forced by the administration of the school to pass their students. In addition, some people think private schools give more knowledge to the students than others. Although, even considering that they offer more knowledge, not everybody can afford this kind of schools. As has been said, private schools have some advantages and disadvantages, so this factors should be considered when deciding your children’s future.


I think this transition expressions are extremely important to develop our writing skill. And I believe I have learnt a lot

Hi Javier,

Your entry comparing private and public schools is very interesting. In the past, when I was studying high school, public schools were much better than private schools. Public schools had better teachers and were better equipped than the public ones. Parents would make long lines, very early in the morning, to register their children in public schools.
Unfortunately, times have changed for the bad in this country, and now the situation is the opposite.

Keep blogging!
