Workbook Unit 5, Writing B
I have heard many people say that it is easier to learn new things when you are young than it is when you are old. I think they say this because children learn naturally and seem to absorb things without trying. However, I think it probably depends what you are learning and how much you really want to learn.
I know that I learnt how to use a computer very quickly when I was only about six years old, while my mother still finds it difficult. I think it was easy for me because I did not really realize I was learning something, and I just wanted to play the games. My mother does not like technology, and she was nervous about learning something she did not really want to.
People say that children learn languages more quickly than adults, but I am not sure this is true. It takes a child ten years to learn to speak their language properly, but an adult can learn a foreign language if they live in another country in only two or three years. Because they have more experience of life, they can apply it to translate and learn grammar rules. I think older people can learn just as quickly if they really need to.
I think young people can learn things like swimming much more quickly than older people. My father really wants to be good at golf and he practises a lot, but he does not get any better. My cousin started playing when he was ten and soon he was very good. However, some children want to learn a sport, but are not good at all. My answer to the question is, it depends what you are learning, and it is not always easier for young people.

Workbook Unit 6, Writing B
In most countries these days, most young people go to university when they leave school. In some countries, it is usual to apply to the university which is closest to your hometown, so that you can continue to live with your family. In other countries, young people want to move away to a more exciting place where they can begin a new life. Moving is part of the university experience.
Many young people choose to move away from home because they want an adventure. They can live in a university residence or rent an apartment with other students. They are free from their parents’ rules for the first time.
Moving away from home has disadvantages, however. Students can become homesick if they do not make new friends, and they can miss their friends from school and their brothers and sisters. Some young people do not know how to cook and are not very good with money, so they need their parents’ support. If students go to university near their home, they can live at home and have the support of their family. It will also be much cheaper because they do not have to pay for accommodation or to travel home at the weekend or during holidays. My brother and two of my cousins go to university in our city and are happy that they can live at home.
Some students who live at home feel that they miss the fun that some of the other students are having. They see other
