Independent essay.
Many people have learned a foreign language in their own country; others have learned a foreing language in thr country in which it is spoken. Which is better? Give the advantages of each and support your viewpoint.
Nowadays learning foreign languages is obviously very important. However the question is that we should learn a foreign language in our country or in the native country where it is spoken. Each way of learning has its own advantages.
The most important advantage to learning language in your own country is that you can have your teachers explain unknown words or phrases in your mother tongue, which is especially important at the early stage of learning a foreign language. In addition, there is financial matter. Learning foreign language in your own country is quite a lot cheaper than it would be to travel to the county where the language is spoken. You don't have to spend time and money on traveling and staying at a foreign country.
However, learning a foreign language in the country where it is spoken has incomparable advantages. Only there can you have access to exact pronunciation, proper tone and idioms of natural speech. Listening to exact pronunciation will help you correct yourself and will improve your listening and speaking ability. It is well known that people most quickly learn a foreign language when they are surrounded by people who speak that language. When you live in the native country language you have no choice but use that language in daily life. You also have the opportunity to learn the culture of the country in which you learn language, make friends or get an invitation to work or study in a foreign country.
In conclusion, I prefer learning a foreign language in the native country because it will give me opportunities to practice a lot, to correct my fault easily and naturally. Therefore I think this is the better way of learning a foreign language.

advantage to - предлог of 
...that you can have your teachers explain unknown words or phrases in your mother tongue... - I don't think, the more verb constructions than needed will make your lunguage more sofisticated ... that the teachers explain unknown words or phrases in your mother tongue...
In addition, there is a financial matter.
it would be to travel to the county - it would be in case of travel to the country...
You also have the opportunity to learn the culture - It seems to me, the proper article in this case should be "an" because you are speaking about unknoun opportunity, and it is the first time this opportunity is spoken about at all.
..to work or study in a foreign country - If you mean any foreign country to get job in, than "a", if only the country of the language you are learning, than "the"... I think so... it's difficult to me to get the proper line in your message.
In the advantages of the "home" learning of a foreign language you can also talk about "native speakers" and about this tradition in Russia
It developes for centuries.

I am a hero?!
Yes, you are. To write english texts is a real torture for me. I can think english, I can speak english (especially good after a glass of vine or two), I can read english books... but I hate writing 
And you do it so well, that I have nothing to do but admire your activities.

Well, I AM a hero)))
I told you early about active and passive voc - that's about speaking and writing. You need nothing more than everyday practice and you'll be able to write as good as I do.
And this is my heroism - I really do it every day. Every bloody day, to be honest))
In addition, I'm thinking about writing dramione in english and publish that story in affnet))) Thank God, mother, father and JKR, my common language is much better than formal)
Alcohol improves my English too))) But unfortunately it is common language, not formal. It's a pity I can't say something like "bloody" or "gosh" in front of toefl professors))
