(1) Meaning:
“to be able to” or “for the purpose of..”
(2) Example:
“I am learning English in order to read English novels in the original language.”
“I would like more money in order to buy a flat in central London.”
“People used to get married in order to live together – now they do not need to.”
“Companies spend a lot of money on advertising in order to build awareness of their brand.”
(3) Answer the questions:
Why are you learning English?
Why do businesses try to grow?
Why do people want to be promoted at work?
Why did you get married? (if you are married) Why would you ever get married? (if you are not)
(4) Develop the idea:
I am learning English in order to read English novels in the original language. I have read a lot of books by English writers in my language but I think it is far more interesting and satisfying to read them in the original. When I was at school I loved the novels of Jane Austen and read Pride and Prejudice several times – but in Spanish not English. Now I am reading it in the orginal: it is still difficult for me but if I go slowly I can understand, and it gives me a huge amount of pleasure to be able to do this.

People are eager to get promotion at work in order to earn more money or get a sense of fulfilment, and there are serveral reasons can prove this argument. This first reason is that in the contemporary era when the economic situation is dire, ordinary individuals have to figure out a way to earn a living or support their families by themselves, as opposed to rely on governments. Secondly, a promotion can be exciting and fulfilling in their career development, and can also largely encourge them to reach the next milestone on the path of success. Lastly, a promotion means more responsibilities and more challenges, which is also a good chance to acquire new knowledge and learn new experience.
Good try. The first sentence is not correct logivally. You should say ..”there are several reasons why this is particularly true today.” The reasons don’t “prove” the argument. They simply offer explanations about why people do these things.
I am learning English in order to make my life easier all over the world. I Travelling is my dream, I am doing my best to make it come true. I think learning English is the first, and the most important step. As we know, English is the language used most widely, if I speak perfect English, I could live in any country without difficulty. Now I live in UK,I could not know the real life, and as well as culture of it if I am not good at English。
Very good yingying
I am learning enlish in order to communicate with other peopole using english . as we know the most part of the world populatin are using english . they have different nationalities , culture and method of think. Have a colse contact with those individuals make our life increasingly colourful and meaningful. the other important reason why i am prefer to learn english is that we can learn and use many books , softwares and tools directly. it make our doing more efficient.
Now shanghai is holding World Expo. I found that almost all of the communication with foreigners come to visit shanghai are running well by using enlish. In some ways it makes the event more successful, put close relationships and understanding bitween foreign people and chinese.
OK – getting better I think. Important grammar points: (1) your spelling is bad (2) your punctuation is bad (3) some grammar collocations wrong eg “we can use a lot of software in English which makes our work more efficient.” Note: it is not terrible – I can understand you – but you need to imporve your language awareness. How? Use the dictations / readings /gap fills in the topic language – if you can do them with no mistakes (by repeating again and again) you will improve.
Organisation: It’s a good try but you need more logical structure. For example: you put an example of the World Expo and communicating there in English – this comes after your point about books and software!!! This is wrong: it is not an example of books and software. Make you example link to the point. Look on the website at paragraph structure in Writing 2 to help with this.
I am learning English in order to be able to communicate with people directly. I think it is very important to be able to understand each other in a community and direct communication is the only practical way to do this. When I was at school, before I started to learn English, a foreigner visited my school and he was invited to make a short speech in a meeting. I remember that he said a few sentences, then stopped, waited for the interpreter translated into Mandarin, and then said some more and stopped again… It was so slow and uneasy to follow what he meant that I felt like listening to somebody hide behind the interpreter, however, if there was no interpreter we would have no idea what he said. Now I am learning English and I am happy to see that I can communicate in English better and better, and more importantly, I really enjoy the process, it gives me a huge amount of pleasure.
Excellent – no problems at all!
