I'VE LEARNT......



In this comment you are supposed to write a sentence beginning: I've learnt... It should be an example of what you have learnt from your own experience. Then explain how you came to this conclusion by giving a few details. Keep it short, don't write more than 50 words.

My example:
I have learnt painfully that even the most precise plans can be ruined by adverse circumstances.
Explanation: My trip to England had been planned in detail two months in advance. However, it was cancelled in the last minute due to volcanic eruption in Iceland. Therefore, I had to travel by coach for a day and two nights instead of two and a half hours to attend the courses in Oxford.

Now, what have you learnt?

  1. I have learnt that you should always study everything for an exam.
    Explanation: In 8th grade I had an exam at History and I studied everything except one lesson. No need to say that, that particular lesson was on my exam paper. Luckily I passed.

  2. I have learnt that that is very important to know what you want to do in your life.
    Explanation: Two years ago, I finished the high school and I went in Italy to work. I worked there one and a half year and I want to say it was the worst period of my life. I was very depressed because the life it wasn’t so easy how others say.

  3. I've learnt not to judge the person at the first impression and deal with them in the same way. Once it came in my office a man who was wearing t-shirt and bluejeans. I belived that it was not an important person and I treated him superficially. After I tallked to him for a few minutes, I realised that it was the director of one big company.

  6. I have learned that people who are older don't necessarily know more than young people do.
    Explanation: I was assigned to do some work for a project where i was the youngest and the ideas that we had were not all on the same level, because of my age the proposal i had was disregarded and the project had a mediocre impact, saying we were lacking the input of the younger generation.

  7. I have learnt in time that driving with speed on the road and acting like a racing driver is not a glory but on the contrary.
    When I was young I thought you are a good driver if you drive with high speed and exceeding any vehicle on the road. All this took me to a various incidents, fortunately with no serious consequences but important enough to make me change my attitude.

  8. I have learnt that : ”always think twice before paying for something’’

    Explanation : Last summer I tried to buy a tea at the Mamaia festival . By following a lot of the vendor’s advice, I didn’t have time to consider two variables .It’s better to consume pineapple in fruit form than as a tea, and I might have spent too much money on that particular tea. And I bought the item fast. Wrong idea!How could this have been avoided? Simple: I just had to think a little longer on the process of buying. The vendor tricked me into buying fast, and I didn’t take a good decision. The total cost of the tea is relatively small , but I did gained a valuable experience.Things to go home with: before buying, reserve a little time to think things over. It’s easier to do that than to work for that same amount of money.

  16. I have learned that you always have to know that what you really want.

    I am really sorry for the HEALTH problem you had and so few people WERE INTERESTED to help you. I hope those were the real FRIENDS and not those you simply have known from your CHILDHOOD.

  23. Dear Ramona,
    you have to see the bright side of things! There are plenty of other advantages that you have such as maturity, wisdom, a family, etc.!

    Because of that maybe you should spell the word YOU as YOU, not U.

  26. I have learned that we can't lie. When I was younger, maybe in 3rd grade I got a bad mark. I didn't tell it to my parents. But they had found out, because the teacher called the parents to a meeting and she told my marks to my mom. My mom had a discussion with me. Since then I've learned I mustn't lie becuase it will turn out.

    you are right about controlling ourselves in stressful situations.
    Your mom UNDERSTOOD your nervousness about the EXAMS and I am sure she completely forgot about that!

  36. I've learnt sadly from my own experience that you can not rely on friends and people you know when it comes to business of any kind. It is better to do business and negotiate to total strangers, they will be objective (and probably fair-play) and won't use your friendship as a weapon.

  45. I have learnt that we should always listen to our parents when they give us an advice, because they are always right.

    Two years ago my mom told me: “the person who is pretending to be your best friend it isn’t really, and she’s not good to be your friend, because she’s got a different character which it doesn’t match with yours.
    I didn’t listen to her on that time, but later on, when I realized that was true, I suffered a lot.
