There are many factors can effect people to learn a second or third language successfully such as age, motivation, personality and so on. In my point of view, I still believe that a person's personality is the most important factor of language learning although sometimes other factors will influent to it.
Many friends of mine are able to speak other languages whether it is foreign language or in their own language but different regions of the contury. Some of them are not good at academic but do very good jobs at language learning. Some of them learnt well just because their interests. As I've learnt a little bit German when I was in China. The reason why I went to learn German is just because my visit to Germany for 2 weeks and fell in love with this nice country. When I was back to Shanghai, I learned German very quickly. To be honest, I do not like French very much, as I was trying to learn French here for five days in conversation class. I found some of spelling or grammar are similar to German so that it is easier for me to understand and learn French than other people in class. Although I still thought it was difficult to learn French because the teacher taught in French but we have no any of the knowledge in it.
As I said, languages link to each other but the most important is to practice practice and practice. The more you do, the more you will get! A person who has good personality might be practice more than others. They can be open enough to talk in public before people so that their fluency of speaking, skills of listening, grammar and pronunciation will be much better than those who are not willing to practice as much as they can. People who have great confidence are not afraid of making mistakes, sometimes others are much more willing to help them in great progress.
Learning a second or third language with nice personality maybe one of the most important factors to most people. Hope you will have a wonderful learning journey during this session.(:

Jinmao Tower in my hometown-Shanghai
The Jinmao Tower is a 88-story skyscraper in Shanghai China. It contains a five-star Grand Hyatt Hotel and business offices in it.
As we all know, The Oriental Pearl TV Tower is also one of the most famous landmarks in Shanghai. With Jinmao Tower, it becomes a skyline of my home town.

Skyscraper
The topic of Super High Skyscrapers should be built whether or not is quite controversial.
In my opinion, skyscrapers are not necessary for human beings. Reasons are given that safety, economic, environment and other factors should be seriously considered.
As we all know, planning to build super skyscapers for now is just people's imaginations. Even designers and engineers cannot be sure about the success of building a skyscraper.
First, people cannot predict natural disasters like earthquake, fire, strong wind or others 100% for sure. So it is not safe enough to build a skyscraper. As designning a wonderful prevention system in order to deal with these kinds of natural disasters, government must use huge amount of funds to make it pratical. Is it necessary for people to do things like that? Would everybody or most people be satisfied with this decision? Obviously not! Can any body promise that the horrible event of 911 will not be happened in any other countries? Why do people like such kind of "CHALLENGE" nowadays??
As I know that Taiwan 101 is making a loss everyday, our Jinmao Tower in Shanghai also spends millions of money just for one day! If we build a super high skyscraper, economic of every country will change a lot beyond of our imaginations. One problem might be appear that different levels of people will be met in different ways.
Some people might say that there will be no space for human beings to live in the future. Reaserchs show that most people would like to live and work under 50 stories, and there're number of people who have acrophobia need to be considered. Also, engineers find that soil of some place is not able to build such a high skyscraper.
We can see that there are so many problems we need to face and the most important fact is people who are not willing to live in a skyscraper are the most of them living in a real world...
