Should every students learn a new language?

Should every students learn a new language? Is having a second language important?

Well it depends. There are many advantages of having a second language.

But learning another language isn’t really necessary. So I think yes and no. Here’s why.

Learning a second language gives the student more knowledge and makes them smarter.

Speaking another language can also help them in the future.

This is because, they could get a job offer from another country.

Going on vacation on another country would be easier especially if you know how to speak their language.

Students can also communicate with new students if they were learning the language that the new student speaks.

These are the advantages of learning another language. But as I said it is also not necessary and here’s why.

If you aren’t learning another language you could be doing things that are probably more important.
You also don’t know if it will be useful in the future. It takes a long time to be able to speak the language you’re learning properly.

While if you didn't learn you could have done more things that will actually matter more once you get older.

This why I think it isn’t really important.

So in conclusion I think it just depends on the student.

It can be helpful but I think it isn’t necessary and students could just learn other things that are probably more important.

"Modal verb practice - Term 3 plan"

I have to work very hard to get all my work done.

I also need to get use to the new building and learn my ways around it. 

I should definitely study harder so I can do good in every subject.

I could probably do more of my work at home so I can get it all done.

I might actually start doing more work and always finish them.

Introduction

For the past few weeks in DTE, my group have been trying to finish our Game/App. My group was going to make a Geometry dash type of game, but we decided to scrap that because it was too complicated for us. So instead, we decided to make an App about League Of Legends champs. The App gave you information about the champs, like what skills you need to level up first, what items you should buy and the where to go if you are using him/her. It teaches you the basics and how you should play them.

You can find the App here: LOL APP

Reflection

 I have learnt many things about game developing. I learnt how to use App Lab properly like designing the background and basic coding. As we were doing the App I also learnt a lot about League of Legends. This is because I was gathering the information about the champs and putting them into a Document.

In my group not everyone contributed. One of us was away most of the time and I just did the screen shot the League Champions. I also put the champs information. But other than that it was really just one who did the designing of the App and coding it. I think my group was alright despite us not contributing equally. I would have liked it if we change the Game/App we were making but other than that I think the work and the idea that was produced was very good.

We didn't finish the app because we didn't have enough time. This is because not everyone contributed and that the app would have taken much more time to be completed. We planned to do all the champions which is why we needed more time. I think my group should have limited the amount of champions we were going to do because there are too many of them. We should have limited it to the most used champions instead of doing them all. I took away a lot from this experience. I realised that planning and teamwork is very important for Game/App developing. Also you must know your skills and what you can make.
