You just had a few recurring mistakes like 'later marriage' and 'families poverty'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Girlsâ&lt;/STRONG&gt; Education &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The need &lt;STRONG&gt;for&lt;/STRONG&gt; education has been &lt;STRONG&gt;felt&lt;/STRONG&gt; all over the world in recent years. However, a large number of children in the world, especially in &lt;STRONG&gt;sub-Saharan&lt;/STRONG&gt; Africa, Southern Asia and the Arab States, do not attend school and approximately &lt;STRONG&gt;60 percent*&lt;/STRONG&gt; of these children are girls. This is because of many barriers that affect girls and do not let &lt;STRONG&gt;them continue&lt;/STRONG&gt; their education. Moreover, familiesâ poverty and early marriage or pregnancy affect &lt;STRONG&gt;girlsâ&lt;/STRONG&gt; education. However, there are &lt;STRONG&gt;solutions&lt;/STRONG&gt; to these problems like &lt;STRONG&gt;self-education&lt;/STRONG&gt; and late marriage. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poverty is the first barrier &lt;STRONG&gt;to a girlâs&lt;/STRONG&gt; education. Many families do not have enough money &lt;STRONG&gt;to provide for an education&lt;/STRONG&gt;, and &lt;STRONG&gt;even&lt;/STRONG&gt; if they have money, they might spend it &lt;STRONG&gt;on selfish needs or on sustaining the family&lt;/STRONG&gt;. However, they &lt;STRONG&gt;cannot&lt;/STRONG&gt; afford &lt;STRONG&gt;schooling&lt;/STRONG&gt; for the girls because they &lt;STRONG&gt;either need new uniforms, or&lt;/STRONG&gt; bags and books. Instead, they might let &lt;STRONG&gt;boys go&lt;/STRONG&gt; to school &lt;STRONG&gt;to&lt;/STRONG&gt; continue their education. They think that boys &lt;STRONG&gt;take priority over girls for education&lt;/STRONG&gt; because when they grow up, they probably will work and they can help the family. The second barrier is early marriage and pregnancy. Girls who &lt;STRONG&gt;marry&lt;/STRONG&gt; early &lt;STRONG&gt;are not able&lt;/STRONG&gt; to complete their studies since their husbands might not let them to do that. However, they &lt;STRONG&gt;are not&lt;/STRONG&gt; able to &lt;STRONG&gt;juggle home life&lt;/STRONG&gt; and their education. They might feel tired if they &lt;STRONG&gt;have&lt;/STRONG&gt; two difficult responsibilities. They probably will not concentrate well because they might think of the other things. So, it is difficult for them to do their best in their studies. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many solutions &lt;STRONG&gt;to overcome&lt;/STRONG&gt; these barriers. The first solution is self-education. Girls who &lt;STRONG&gt;cannot&lt;/STRONG&gt; complete their studies can read books and &lt;STRONG&gt;newspapers&lt;/STRONG&gt;. &lt;STRONG&gt;In&lt;/STRONG&gt; this way, they can increase their &lt;STRONG&gt;knowledge [ofâ¦].&lt;/STRONG&gt; They can also grab any &lt;STRONG&gt;chance to&lt;/STRONG&gt; enhance their studies and lead them to succeed. &lt;STRONG&gt;This&lt;/STRONG&gt; might solve the poverty of families. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second solution is &lt;STRONG&gt;late marriage&lt;/STRONG&gt;. Girls can continue their studies first and &lt;STRONG&gt;marry later&lt;/STRONG&gt;. &lt;STRONG&gt;When completing their&lt;/STRONG&gt; studies, women will get &lt;STRONG&gt;a&lt;/STRONG&gt; certificate which &lt;STRONG&gt;will increase their chances of finding work&lt;/STRONG&gt;. As a result, they can support their families and husbands in &lt;u&gt;indeed&lt;/u&gt; situations. &lt;EM&gt;[What does &lt;u&gt;indeed&lt;/u&gt; mean here?]&lt;/EM&gt; They can provide economic needs for them. They can also let their children &lt;STRONG&gt;be&lt;/STRONG&gt; well educated by helping them in their homework and &lt;STRONG&gt;explaining&lt;/STRONG&gt; what they do not understand. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many &lt;STRONG&gt;barriers to a girlâs&lt;/STRONG&gt; education, &lt;STRONG&gt;such as poverty, early marriage and pregnancy&lt;/STRONG&gt;. However, self-education and &lt;STRONG&gt;late marriage&lt;/STRONG&gt; are &lt;STRONG&gt;example solutions to&lt;/STRONG&gt; these problems. In my opinion, women should &lt;STRONG&gt;pursue an education&lt;/STRONG&gt; because this will help the society to yield &lt;STRONG&gt;an&lt;/STRONG&gt; educated generation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;table width="85%"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="quoteTable"&gt;&lt;table width="100%"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td width="100%" valign="top" class="txt4"&gt; Normally in your own prose you should use the letter abbreviations or the full word rather than these symbols: 45.6 percent, 4.7 inches, 21 degrees Centigrade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mala.bc.ca/~johnstoi/grammar/guide_2.htm" target="_blank" title="http://www.mala.bc.ca/~johnstoi/grammar/guide_2.htm"&gt;Guide to the Marking of Written Assignments: Section 2&lt;/a&gt;, Ian Johnston&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;</description></item><item><title>Girls Education</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/GirlsEducation/xqbj/post.htm</link><pubDate>Fri, 11 Feb 2005 17:13:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:73432</guid><dc:creator>sweety</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/GirlsEducation/xqbj/post.htm</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments9-73432.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>please correct my essay .. i know there are a lot of mistakes on it but i wish you could help me to correct them.. &lt;img src="/emoticons/emotion-1.gif" alt="Smile [:)]" /&gt;                           &lt;br /&gt;                                                    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                                                   Girls education&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	The need of education has been required all over the world in recent years.  However, a large number of children in the world, especially in sub-Sahara Africa, Southern Asia and the Arab States, do not attend school and approximately 60% of these children are girls.  This is because of many barriers that affect girls and do not let them to continue their education.  Moreover, familiesâ poverty and early marriage and pregnancy affect girls education.  However, there are solution to these problems like self education and later marriage. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	Families poverty is the first barrier of girls education.  Many families do not have enough money and if they have money, they might spend it for their needs of for house need.  However, they can not afford for school need for the girls because they need new uniform, bags and books.  Instead they might let boys to go to school and continue their education.  They think that boys have a priority for education than girls because when they grow up, they probably will work and they can help the family.  The second barrier is early marriage and pregnancy.  Girls who get married early can not be able to complete their studies since their husbands might not let them to do that.  However, they can not be able to juggle between the house life and their education.  They might feel tired if they do two difficult responsibilities.  They probably will not concentrate well because they might think of the other things.  So, it is difficult for them to do their best in their studies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	There are many solutions beside these barriers.  The first solution is self education.  Girls who did not complete their studies can read books and newspaper.  By this way, they can increase their knowledge and information.  They can also grab any chances which enhance their studies and lead them to succeed.  And this might solve the poverty of families.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	The second solution is married later.  Girls can continue their studies first and after that get married.  Because of completing studies, women will get certificate which lead them to work whenever they want.  As a result, they can support their families and husbands in indeed situations.  They can provide economic needs for them.  They can also let their children to be well educated by helping them in their homework and teaching what they do not understand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;	There are many problems that do not support the girls education like families poverty and early marriage and pregnancy.  However, self education and married later are the examples for solution for these problems.  In my opinion, women should educate because this will help the society to yield educated generation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
