Heyy!! I'm a student

My english speaking skills aren't good
Can you suggest some advices to me???

Please🙏🙏

Hi guys! Love "6 Minute English" for a long time. Great topic as usual.

Hellow I'm from Brazil and i learning english for me progress

I agree that ecotourism should be sustainable. In fact, we should consider sustainability in our lives.

Just because tourism is nature based it doesn't mean to say it's necessarily responsible or sustainable. - - - nicely structured sentence. We can make different sentences following this one. For instance:
Just because he made a mistake before doesn't mean to say he's necessarily responsible for the loss of the company.

Have I wrote it correctly? I will appreciate your suggestions.

Nice

Hello from Tajikistan ❤

Hi BBC
I often hear you

What a complex topic, certainly lots of arguments can be made here

Hello Uzbekistan

Imagine the alien step into your home for touring purpose without consent.

Ecotourism is not always sustainable, such as tiger selfies. However, Tajikistan is at the other end of the scale, and the animals there are being protected by ecotourist projects run by grassroots NGOs. Despite getting very few ecotourists a year, the money the tourists spend in Tajikistan goes a long way in helping rare animals.

Most NGOs are used for money laundering.
