Dear Sir ,
I have seen your advertisement for a job on the internet and I am writing to apply for a summer job as an instructor and keeper of children in your camp .
I am working as a teacher in a Spanish school with children aged between 8 and 14 .
I am an easy going person with a lot of empathy for children .
On the other hand , in my leisure time , I usually do sports like jogging or swimming , adventurous activities like trekking , climbing or espeleology too for 20 years ago .
I have travelled around most European countries and I am able to understand , talk and write highly three languages : Spanish , English and French .
It is the reason why I believe that I could be a suitable candidate for the job .
I would like to tell you I will be able to work in the months of July and August .
I hope it has not been an inconvenience to you .
To the end , could you please tell me what salary you are offering for his job ?
I look forward to hearing from you .
Best regards ,
Mirta Rojo
Hi . I am so happy to write here . My favorite sport is riding the bike ( Bicycle ) .
It is a nice and good sport , especially when we try in the morning . It gives the body energy as well as regular the work of the heart .
For me , I used this kind of sport for ten minutes daily . I do this sport because I have liked it since me child .
My advice to anyone starting learn this sport is to be careful from accidents because it needs more concentration from the person to ride . That is all .
Thank you
I 've been studying English for several years , but I 'm not really sure what exactly my current goal is .
I've been changing places and I do n't know which one is the best for me .
What I 'm sure about is the fact that I 'm going to need an official certificate in order to prove that I 've studied the language .
I study English because I love it and I 'd like to speak very fluently and watch a movie without the subtitles .
I understand perfectly when a native speaker is talking , but when I have to talk in English it 's not so easy .
I 'm very motivated and I 'm going to continue with my studies , but I need to have clear where I 'm going .
I 'd like to teach the language to little children .
Next year , I 'm going to focus on speaking and perhaps I will take a formal test .
Otherwise , I 'd like to improve my grammar and writing , so I 'll keep on trying hard .
Thank you for helping me .
The British parliamentary electoral system is unfair and undemocratic .
It is , however , in my opinion , the best way for the basis of government .
Consider a general election , in which three parties stand , X , Y , and Z , in a country of 5000 voters .
Supposing 2000 people vote for party X and 1500 vote for parties Y and Z. Party X would come into power because they had the most votes .
However , there were 3000 people who did not want them to be in power , which is not the majority of the country .
Also , the idea of each constituency having an MP who fights for that constituency 's beliefs in parliament .
This has major flaws .
Consider , for example , the MP who recently decided she wanted to change parties .
Yes , I know it is the MP 's belief that the constituents are meant to vote on the ideas of that MP , but this simply is n't the case in many circumstances . The voter votes on how that party for which that MP represents is doing at the moment .
Once a party is in government , it is free to do as it likes , changing its policies , until the next general election , at which point it will make hollow promises about what it will do when it next gets in power , just to gain votes .
It is , as I said before , the best system .
Consider dictatorships , this falls at the first hurdle .
With this system , any madman can control a country , having economic disasters for not only that country but other related countries .
There is no fair and perfect way to run a country .
One please some people some of the time , but not all people all of the time .
The only way a fair system of government can come about is in a group of about ten people at the most , and even then people are discontent .
Hi Karina ,
Thanks for your letter .
Of course , I can tell you about Dulan .
He 's 23 , and he 's studying electronic engineering at Kelaniya university and he 's a second year student .
He has an elder sister , who has just finished her IT degree and now she is looking for a job .
His mother teaches biology science for advanced level students in Ananda College - Colombo 10 and his father works in Peoples ' Bank as an assistant manager .
He 's a cool , charming and very sociable person .
He 's also sensitive .
When someone faces a problem , he does n't look at others and he goes forward to help them as much as he can .
Not only that , he 's a responsible and reliable guy .
Sometimes he borrows my personal things ( laptop , pen drives ) and gives me back on time as it is .
He 's incredibly hard working . That 's the secret behind his exam results .
He likes going out with friends , watching movies and listening to music - using his hi - fi headset , so do n't worry about noise!He 's a good rugby player and he plays for his university team . He 's crazy about computer games .
He had already finished many famous computer games when we left school , but he knows the limit and knows how to manage with studies without any disturbance .
He 's keen on sports cars .
He has a large collection of pictures and videos about sports cars .
Also , he has a quite good knowledge of automobiles .
I know most of the time he does some repairs himself .
So it may be helpful for you during his holiday .
The only negative things I can think of are he 's a bit untidy and not well organised .
His room is usually in a mess and sometimes he looks for his belongings for hours .
His English writing is very good , but he is n't a fluent speaker . I 'm sure he 'll learn it fast .
Finally , I think he 's really nice and that you and your family will get on well with him .
I hope the above information is useful .
Let me know if you need more information about him .
Love ,
Lioyni
A very important characteristic of the UK constitution , and one which is central to the question of sovereignty , is that it is the Westminster Parliament that is the supreme legal authority in the UK .
According to the orthodox school which subscribes to the views of Albert Venn Dicey , the Westminster Parliament is omnicompetent and can pass laws on any subject it likes to regulate the activities of any person , anywhere , even those of aliens outside British territory .
In theory , then , the Westminster Parliament could pass a law banning smoking on the streets of Paris .
If our Parliament did so , British courts would be obliged to accept Parliament 's decision and pass judgement accordingly .
Of course , in practice , as the Radical school ( who believe that the Westminster Parliament is not legislatively supreme ) point out , in this hypothetical situation , the Parisiens would take no notice whatever of the UK Parliament 's legislation ; and Parliament would in effect be fettered .
Dicey said that as each Parliament is omnipotent , and therefore has the power to make or unmake any law , no Parliament could bind its successors as to the content or manner and form of subsequent legislation .
The Radical like to point out that since the passing of the European Communities Act in 1972 , the Westminster Parliament has ceded its sovereignty and supremacy to Europe .
The orthodox school retaliate by pointing out that since the Westminster Parliament passed the 1972 Act thereby putting the UK into the European Communities , a future Parliament could just as easily repeal this Act , and take us out of Europe again .
In this case , Britain would have retained her sovereignty and Parliamentary supremacy .
Of course , this whole question is still a subject of fierce debate .
British courts have avoided a head - on clash by finding ambiguity in a domestic statute and resolving that ambiguity so as to give effect to our Community obligations , or by finding that a statute passed prior to the 1972 European Communities Act is repealed by implication by that Act and does not represent the latest intention of the Westminster Parliament or by arguing that subsequent legislation was inadvertent and that the Westminster Parliament could not have intended to come into conflict with community law .
In a recent development , the European Court of Justice ruled in the case of R v Secretary of State for Transport ex parte Factortame and others ( 1990 ) that courts in Britain must suspend an Act of the Westminster Parliament where the rights of the citizens guaranteed by European Community law may be at risk .
This case for the first time said that it is a principle of UK law as influenced by the European Court that our Parliament is not supreme in every circumstance .
It would seem , therefore , that the advent of a single Europe is indeed meaning a loss of sovereignty for Britain , whatever the orthodox school may think to the contrary .
Young people are interested in many things , like games , music , television programmes and the clothes they wear .
Young people like children . They like to play games , listen to music , watch TV , wear special clothes .
Now in 2015 , the game that young people are interested in is speed stack .
In music they are interested in Taylor Swift songs because they are so wonderful even me hear them every day .
Television programmes actually young people do n't like them but they like channels that have horror films , romantic films and films with happy endings .
This year there are fantastic clothes everywhere , especially in the UAE .
Dear Sirs ,
I am writing in connection with your job advertisement about the summer camps in the USA .
I am a twenty - year - old student from Poland and I am looking for an interesting job for the summer holidays .
I would like to apply for the job you are offering and I will intend to prove that I am an appropriate candidate .
In Poland , I have been a Scout for ten years .
There I had various tasks , one of them was looking after younger children .
I helped to organise Scout camps all over my country .
We organised many sports and cultural activities .
Apart from being a Scout , I also have been a lifeguard on kitesurfing camps in Poland .
I am not afraid of the work in the kitchen .
I am also able to perform the harder tasks , such as washing the dishes or tidying up .
I believe you will consider my application ,
Yours faithfully ,
XYZ
I beg to differ ; crime does pay .
Many criminals live far better than the average American because they have chosen a life of crime .
Being a criminal has its advantages ; you do n't have to worry about being fired , you can make more money in less time , you set up your own hours because you 're your own boss , and you can retire well before the age of 65 .
Let 's take time to compare the criminal life to the life of a hard working person .
In our changing economy , any individual who holds down a job must be concerned about whether or not he or she will continue to have that job .
Many people are being laid off work or let go because the companies are no longer making enough profit to pay the employees .
A criminal will always be employed .
There is never a lack of work are a means for continuing employment .
Then , if we think about the work day of most working people .
The average worker works 8 hours per day .
They make about $ 7.50 per hour for their labor .
This is $ 300.00 per week before taxes and other deductions .
Tax deductions will run about $ 69.00 per week and deductions for medical / dental insurance will cost them another $ 5.00 per week , bringing their actual take home pay to $ 266.00 per week .
The average criminal can work one hour a day and make $ 300.00 without having to be concerned with deductions for medical insurance and taxes .
Further , the criminal does not have to be at work at a specific time for a specific number of hours each day .
The criminal is his / her own boss .
And finally , the one thing the criminal does have in common with the average worker ; retirement .
However , the criminal can retire a lot faster than the worker if they ( the criminal ) have managed to save portions of the dollars they have stolen over the years .
If a criminal starts at age 15 and works only 5 hours per week until age 30 , he or she could be set for life .
At $ 300.00 per hour over 15 years , the criminal earns $ 1,170,000.00 .
If he / she invests half this money and earns interest , they could potentially live on the interest income alone .
Comparing both options here , I 'd definitely say that crime does pay .
I was born in Thailand and have been living in Samutprakan , which is a small city near Bangkok .
There are many types of transportation in Thailand .
I often take a motorcycle , minibus , and finally with BTS .
The bus is a transportation which I rarely take .
From my experience .
Motorcycle is a very convenient mode of transportation .
It is the fastest transportation while you are in a rush .
Even though it is needed in a hurry .
On the other hand , it is not very good safety .
Motorcycle is the most dangerous mode of transport in Thailand compared with others .
Even if we have a traffic rule , some riders still keep breaking the rule .
Continue with minibus . There are some rules for this type of transportation .
The drivers have to follow the traffic rules .
I found that it is good transportation which costs low prices and travels a long distance .
Therefore , people in low to medium class prefer to use this transport .
People who live around the city usually make an appointment downtown .
Because of a heavy traffic jams in Bangkok , they try to avoid other services .
Then , BTS is the best option .
It is very satisfying in terms of time and convenience .
People can manage their time easier because BTS is fixed in time .
Therefore , this transport is the most predictable .
Thailand is a country that is not strict to the rules .
Therefore , it can be heard news about accidents in the country .
Customers and drivers are not disciplined .
My suggestion to those problems above is to start showing people how much priority regulations .
Drivers , customers of even the police officers should be cooperative .

Humanity witnessed one of histories [ recorded history ] most incredible minds at work when Albert Einstien came onto the scene .
Although his theory [ his and his wife 's ] was basically scientific in nature , it can and has been applied to all areas of human existence .
The theory I 'm speaking of is relativity .
With this theory also came the area of quantum mechanics .
It is difficult to condense this topic , a topic which has volumes , volumes of literature .
Personally , I find that relativity hasn't had its full impact .
This is probably for several reasons : First , the notion that every point is a point of departure and that all other points are in reference to that point of departure is rather abstract .
It seems impossible and it leaves humans grasping for closure .
What Einstien did to humanity 's philosophy was change the notion that closure could be obtained .
The socratic idea that all was known .
And that it was only a matter of time before a " moment " would reveal the knowledge from " within " was in effect shattered .
The philosopher 's stone was pulverized into utopic and nostalgic dust .
Since it is my socialization that leads me to have a notion of earthtime [ 24 hours = day ] , I think Einstien reconstructed part of it .
Although I do n't claim to understand relativity , I 've attempted to indwell the topic [ like Sidphantha and his rock ] .
The point is my notion of time has changed ; And I think once humanity realizes that time - notions are human constructions and are subject to change , then the impact of Einstien 's idea will be felt .
For now we are left with a world that has used Einstien 's " invention " for intentions not worthy of the genius ; namely : atomic bombs .
The significance of atomic bombs can not be underestimated when speaking about humanity in the 20th century .
It set up a whole network of global systems .
USA - USSR ; with Japan and Germany as the " winners " .
Cold wars ; north - south relations .
Many things have been generated : namely fear !
Relatively speaking , fear has been the main point of departure for the global community construction .
This is a point that I think needs to be changed , from fear to peace .
A shift in focus if you will .
Some would say this is too utopic ;
But if humanity sought to understand relativity ( as does Stephen Hawkings ) our notions would be radically changed .
For now , we must deal with the short comings of humanity 's use of Einstien 's ideas : atomic weapons .
Yesterday I went to a basketball club . In my first training I scored 4 balls .
It was the first time for me to play basketball .
I think I was very good .
My dream is to be a basketball player . Playing basketball is really fun and nice .
I loved playing it .
I want to play it again
It is undeniable that animals are vital to medical research for its merit benefits .
Researchers could use animals ( such as mice and monkeys ) to examine the new drugs .
Furthermore , animals probably used to determine the amount of dosage .
These usages , certainly , identify whether the vaccine is functional .
In addition , it defines the maximum dosage which beyond the drug becoming lethal .
Also , one of the most main purposes of using an animal in the lab is that the antidote for its bite , for instance snakes , has to be extracted from their body .
Even a bite could kill a person if the suitable antidote is not available .
Writing about my favourite sport is talking about one of the best things in my life , since I 'm a sports fan .. and have been so all through my life .
While I was in high school , I still recall dreading the moment I had to go to Gym class , but somehow later in life I discovered that sports would not just save my life .
Furthermore , it became one of my favourite past times .
No matter what my mood was , putting on my trainers and finding a new place to discover ... possibilities became endless , parks , the beach , running tracks .
Getting lost in the middle of the Woods ... anytime , anyplace .
Then , one thing led to the other and started rollerblading , cycling , skiing or just going to the gym on rainy days totally changed my mood .
Little did I know at that time that I would meet the man of my life thanks to sports .
To conclude , I would like to leave a message to all those young people out there who do n't seem to fit anywhere .
Taking part in any free time activity would help you become a better person .
You will learn to share , to compete , to lead a healthier life .
Believe that the potential lies deep within you and that the sky is the limit .
As it said in the book " Say it again See it again " , artistic research is quite complicated and a lot of time discussed topic .
In academic fields , there is some question of how artistic research is related to the research in academic framework .
When we look it in the dictionaries what is research in academic study , we read this definition :
" The systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions " .
According to the UNESCO definition , research is " any creative systematic activity undertaken in order to increase the stock of knowledge , including knowledge of man , culture and society , and the use of this knowledge to devise new applications . "
Another source said that research is searching for and gathering information , usually to answer a particular question or problem .
When we look for artistic research ,
It is said that artistic research is the process of making artwork .
Those two terms academic research and artistic research mainly differ by the result of the research .
In the academic field , after research we have some knowledge which can be generalised .
A conclusion of academic research becomes as the law which remains in time .
While in artistic research we work with singular knowledge which is unique .
And can not really stay as a law or a long- term statement . Because of the experimental sense of the research , unpredictable , multidisciplinary , creative character of artistic research is difficult to define what artistic research really is .
Also , artistic research does not produce only knowledge .
It changes people 's mind set .
Artistic research is research because artists look for knowledge in order to create an artwork .
So in art research exists in artwork itself .
I have read in the book about artistic research that artists are doing their research without calling it research .
Mrs Kate Ashby ,
I would like to apply for a weekend job in Green Pepper Cafe .
I am a twenty - one - year old student .
Food is the most important part of my life . It makes me happy .
I really like to cook for my friends , different kinds of dishes from all over the world .
I am used to working long hours , because last holidays I had a full - time job in a bar at the beach .
I am an open - minded and full of smile person who loves to meet new people and learn new things .
I think that I am a calm and friendly person . For me , a satisfied client is a happy client .
I also know Spanish . It could be helpful to talk with tourists from Spain .
I hope you would like to meet with me and get to know more about my experience of working in bars and cafes .
I am looking forward to hearing from you .
With kind regards Clarita
Watching " Cuéntame " might not be the first film you think of about the Spanish last century , but in fact it is a good example of our country 's history at that time .
Although it was shot last year by a young director , he knew how difficult the life was , so it is more than likely he studied in detail society , customs , clothes or hair trends because eldest say it is a thrush reflection of the Spaniards life .
Even more , it is said by pensioners that the movie makes them remind their young ages- so it is a realistic film .
On the other hand , it is more than likely that they could be a bit sad , homesick , and maybe they could lose a tear too .
The movie would reflect the life of an average family with a toddler and two teenage children and the grandmother , who is wearing black clothes because she lost her husband in the Spanish Civil War .
As the parents are working out , she used to do the housework , taking care of her grandchildren .
On top of that , it is watching the beginning of the democracy age and how hard the birth of some political parties and , of course , it is showing us how women begging to smoke , wearing skinny trousers or getting a driving license .
It was a strange change in this country .
To sum up , I strongly recommend this movie , not only for students or young people but also for middle ages and eldest . In addition , it could be a great movie for foreign people so they could be able to easily understand our history .
Dear Mrs Ashby ,
I would like to work in a cafe at the weekend .
I have worked cafe many times before and enjoy meeting people . I have used Green Pepper Cafe many times and drink coffee there .
It was very good and the people working there are happy .
I want to work at your place as I am interested in many foods and I really enjoy meeting with people .
I also worked long hours in a cafe before which I like .
Please tell me soon if I have an interview .
Schooling of children 's
I think children must be educated at school , not at home .
Because at school they can deal with other people , learning from young how to deal with situations , with other thoughts and cultures , and learn with that stuff .
Knowledge is not just what we learn sit on a chair , but how to deal with society too .
Does n't make any sense a person be very smart , intelligent , intellectual , know everything about so many subjects , if he ca n't express himself , your ideas .
If he can not act naturally facing difficulties or stay calm dealing with others thoughts , different of his ideas , demonstrating how flexible he can be facing difficult situations .
Knowledge is a combination of the intellectual and emotional part of our brain .
It must be a balance between these two parts .
So , teaching the child alone at home is not a good idea for his development .
The advantage of learning the child at home is seeing and following exactly what he will learn , the time of study , seeing closely what the child is assimilating .
But , like I said before , it 's very important to help them to deal with other people and situations since little 's , to combine the rational and emotional part of their brains .
It 's a hard decision for parents , more for those who want to control all the aspects of the lives of their children , but it 's necessary to understand how important a decision like that is to the future of those kids .
It 's more important to keep control of everything or leave the child learn with his experiences and develop other skills .
I like and really loved football .
I do n't know why . I just love that . My favourite club is Real Madrid and my favourite player football is Kaka and CR 7 .
I do n't care every time I watch my favourite club match .
Through football I can see him .
He 's my favourite player , most favourite than Kaka .
If I can watch his competition , I 'll watch it .
He 's my spirit also .
I have loved football since I was in 1st grade of junior high school . Usually , I watched a football match with my father .
At midnight we 're watching together ...
My lovely team is my Country Garuda Team . You 're the best in the world .
My hope is the national football team of Indonesia could be a big team and the best team .
This idea is completely erroneous .
Money , perhaps , is a necessary evil in order to conduct the daily affairs of life .
Money , in some form or other , is required in order to carry out business trading , commerce and exchange of property .
Money enables a human being to store what he owns , to pay his expenses , to share with others or even to give to those in need .
However , it is true that the love of money is the root of all evil .
This is a different concept all together .
The desire for what we may not have can at times cause people to conduct themselves in a way that they might not otherwise do .
Although there is a healthy desire to meet the needs that we have , at times this desire can be pushed to an extreme .
How many times have we seen on the evening news a family being broken apart , a company going under , or even a nation crumbling simply because there was a desperate desire , on the part of one or many , for something that exceeds what was actually needed or required ?
Even individuals can be destroyed who are in constant search of what evades them .
They think that having the " right " car or living in the " right " neighborhood or knowing the " right " people can bring them happiness or contentment .
This love of money urges them on , causes them to neglect their families and at times to commit crimes for which they are imprisoned .
Our society pays dearly , both financially and socially , for their love affair with money .
It is a cross - cultural thing .
We can be speaking of the American dollar , the Japanese yen or the Spanish peseta .
The love of whatever represents the financial exchange between parties wreaks havoc in a nation , a family and even an individual life .
Not the money itself , but rather the love of it persuades men 's hearts , captivates their minds and influences their priorities and their behavior .
The hoarding of wealth for personal benefit or security when pushed to an extreme is the root of all evil .
It produces selfishness in even the smallest child .
It 's not long before a 4 - 5 year - old realizes the power that money brings .
He begins to hide it , save it , ask for it and spend it .
A healthy thing can be turned into a tool for disaster . Is money the root of all evil ?
No .
It can be used for good .
It can bring relief to those in need and even extra joy into a life that already has its needs met .
However , the love it , the overwhelming desire for it that causes people to overlook what is most important and at times even commit terrible acts toward each other , is truly the root of all evil .
History is the identity of people . It can tell the future generation about the past one .
As all nations and people have their own history and to distinguish this only by marks left .
Historical places as well as archives are the most common thing show ancient life .
Every nation has its identity .
In my country there are a lot of historical places that refer to different civilizations .
But the place that attracts more people is the capital . We can call it the carrefour of civilization .
Different civilizations set up there , from Byzantine to French passing by ottoman and others .
Our attractive historical place in CASBAH .
CASBAH is a historical city and has an important story about building it .
I believe I am a good person for summer camp staff .
Besides , I grew up with two children , most children are very fond of me .
I always enjoy sports , especially basketball , tennis , and dance .
Also , I 'm good at cooking and reading books .
I hope you will select me for the job .
Dear Isabel .
My new town is so wonderful .
I really enjoy living here !
My town is near a lake and in between two bigger towns .
The main attractions are a historic museum and a very big indoor bath .
My favourite place in town is a bank at the lake .
I love to sit there and watch the sunrise .
Best wishes from my lovely new home .
I live in a tiny village named Fals , where there are n't lots of people . There are only , more or less , one hundred people .
In my little village , most people are farmers and they do n't use too many cars or motorbikes , they just use trucks and other things .
So I think that in my village we take care of the environment , because we do n't waste a lot of pollution , so I can say that I live in a healthy village about pollution .
But in my country we usually do n't take care of the environment , because people in Spain do n't think about others , they just think about their own .
Although most Spanish people do n't think about the environment because they say it 's not the present , it 's the future .
Childhood , nowadays , is really involved with technology .
Most of fun for children are video games , television , computers and tablets which they play electronic games and watch movies or cartoons .
In this way , it is clear that television entertains and is part of our lives , but it can also educate if have appropriate subjects .
For example , some cartoons with their characters can teach children count in other languages , resolve mathematics accounts as simple adds and the most important , children can learn how to deal with their parents and their friends and learn what is wrong or right . In other words , television can influence their behavior .
On the other hand , on television there are a lot of advertisements which can affect some choices and wills of the child as some kind of toy . Soon he starts to ask this just because of the media .
Therefore , it is very important that parents have knowledge about what their children are watching and learning on TV .
Thus , television could be good for education , but the time in front of the screen has to be controlled . After all , childhood is also contructed playing or the open air !
It is apparently due to the huge improvement of the automobile industry , which makes a better transport environment with dramatic transport .
You can easily travel from A place to B place while stepping into a private car which will create an electronic delivery lane and compress the data of the car with the driver .
Drivers just simply ignite the car engine , choose the destination with the accurate address , map the three dimensions of street view and then drive .
In only five minutes , literally , you arrive .
With the new way of driving , people do not have to walk through a 500 meter road to public transportation like , train stations , or bus stations , while buy modern cars which provide a better transport experience .

The last question , is there some academy to learn English near the house ?
Thanks very much .

No doubt that all of us dream of living in a healthy environment which needs a lot of requirements from both the people and the government .
But in fact , this does not happen with 100% as most people are not committed to this as most of them always put the rubbish in the streets and not inside the place which they have to put it in .
In the Village , the farmers always throw the tailing and the dead bodies of the animals in the canals , which dirty the water which they use in watering the farmland and this leads to the pollution of the food .
As a matter of fact , there is an enormous quantity of ways of transmitting information , which has always been extremely important for people , especially nowadays .
We can receive it from old - fashioned , or traditional , sources of information such as books , so from contemporary types of media , for instance , from TVs and radio .
Because all kinds of sources have advantages and disadvantages , it will be considered some arguments to find the most effective .
Actually , broadcasting activities are great opportunities to get the latest news about a situation in the world or the latest knowledge about the different fields of science ; whereas , books can present obsolete or inadequate information .
Indeed , scientists have proved that about half of the information in books becomes outdated in 5 - 10 years .
In contrast , we can find that some data on the television and on the radio are deliberately distorted .
Nowadays , there is an opinion that the media is the fourth estate , which can influence our consciousness .
It is too hard to disagree with it , when information became a means of warfare , but not the method of enlightenment .
Then books come to the front as a means of history 's cognition : all human experience , which cumulated during all time of human existence , is represented there .
In conclusion , I guess that we should not choose the only way of communicating information , as all types of media have pros and cons .
Choosing the appropriate option for receiving certain data is a skill we should learn .
Every year , there 's a winter festival in my city .
This year , there were more activities than last year .
It was a great time to spend with my friends .
There were a lot of activities like snowboarding , competitions and concerts .
There was a lovely activity for the kids called " Do you wanna build a snowman ? " where they spend an incredible time building snowmen .
I participated in a dance competition .
The judges said that I was an amazing dance and it was a very emotional moment for me .
I ca n't wait for the festival next year .
Football is my favorite game because it is quite a challenging and interesting game . I began to play football when I was 6 years old .
Since then , it has become my passion .
It is also called " king of sport " and is the most famous sport in the entire world .
Hi ,
I 'm Ottavia . I 'm 23 years old .
I was born in Gubbio , a small city in the center of Italy , but now I 'm living in Turin , because I 'm studying here .
I saw this advertisement and I thought that it was the right job for me .
I 'm energetic , I 'm always smiling and I like meeting new people .
I love travelling , because I think that it is the best way to know new cultures and to open your mind .
I 'm a very creative person . I love organising activities , games and events .
When I was 15 , in my city in Italy , I looked after children in a summer camp organised by a church .
So I 've yet experience in this kind of job .
Definitely , I have done a lot of jobs , to pay for my studies .
I worked in a bar , in a pub , in a shop and as p.r . in Italian discos .
I also did p.r . in Ibiza too .
I know very well the sense of sacrifice and the meaning of hard work .
So , I 'm ready to work hard , to have fun , to meet a lot of people and to have a beautiful and unforgettable experience !
I hope for a positive result .
Bye .
Dear Sir or Madam ,
I am writing to you to apply for the job you advertised in Summer Holidays Magazine as a volunteer in the USA summer camps .
I am 23 years old and I have just finished my studies in Teaching at the University of Seville .
After summer , I would like to work at a prestigious centre in Birmingham ' The Good Shepherd School ' , so learning from a summer camp in the United States of America would be a great opportunity for me .
As you can see from my attached Curriculum Vitae , I have been working as a nanny for two years , and I also have five little cousins that I had to look after on many occasions .
In addition , I worked in summer camps last summer where I was in charge of planning and leading games and craft activities .
Being a leader made me develop a strong sense of responsibility .
In addition , I am about to examine for the CAE ( Certificate in Advanced English ) in some weeks .
I love learning English . In fact , I have some English exchange people who I talk to twice a week .
I believe a good teacher is someone who can entertain children , play with them and teach them how to improve their skills .
I think I have all these abilities and I am perfectly capable of doing this job .
I look forward to hearing from you ,
Yours faithfully
Louisa Aláez
There are several reasons why people in the UK might cease to eat beef .
For example , everyone may suddenly become vegetarian or tastes may alter in such a way that nobody in the UK wants to eat beef .
However , these occurances are at best unlikely .
The only plausible reason for people in the UK to cease to eat beef is the disease CJD .
This disease is the human equivalent of ' MAD COW DISEASE ' or BSE .
In recent years , there has been a huge increase in the number of cases of BSE .
This seems to be mainly caused by farming methods 20 years ago .
In the 1960 's and 1970 's , cows were given feed which included sheep ( and their brains ) in its ingredients .
Many animals which ate this feed developed BSE and even more passed it on to their young .
There is a belief among the people of the UK that eating beef is dangerous , as they believe that the BSE can be passed on to humans when they eat beef .
There is no scientific evidence at present to suggest that this is the case .
However , cases of CJD and BSE have been widely documented in the media and this has greatly influenced people .
Pictures on the television of cows with BSE who are unable to walk properly and humans with CJD highlight how horrific and debilitating a condition CJD is .
If the media coverage of CJD and BSE continues in the same manner , it is not inconceivable that people in the UK might be so scared that they cease to eat beef entirely .
If people in the UK were to cease to eat beef , the effect on the agricultural industry would be devastating .
Cow farmers would fall in numbers by a huge amount .
This is because with the beef market destroyed , the only market open to these farmers would be the dairy products market , which is not large enough to sustain many sellers .
The CJD and BSE scare could even spread to dairy products and if this happened , cow farmers would cease to exist entirely .
However , when people cease to eat beef , what do they eat instead ?
The answer is pork , lamb and other meats .
The increase in demand for the other meats would be approximately proportionate to the fall in demand for beef .
This would mean that producers of other meats would benefit from people ceasing to eat beef .
Although cattle farmers could no longer remain in the beef market , they could switch from cattle farming to pig or sheep farming and stay in the agricultural industry .
The overall effect on the size of the agricultural industry would be virtually nil .
This is because the fall in the size of the beef market would correspond with a rise in the size of the other agricultural product markets .
This would mean that the structure of the agricultural industry had altered greatly with the proportion of it taken up by the meats other than beef market growing .
Dear Sir or Madam ,
I am writing with reference to your advertisement , which I saw in the magazine two weeks ago .
I would be very interested in this vacancy .
I am the president of the Young Pioneers club at a primary school , so I usually organize for students to have a picnic , go camping , play sports and do outside activities as well .
In order to ensure safety for them , my school sometimes asks me to attend some first - aid courses , which gives me the confidence to deal with emergency situations .
In particular , I am free from June until September .
I am a native speaker of Vietnamese and I was awarded a B grade in First Certificate in English last year .
I consider myself to be energetic , humorous , enthusiastic and sociable .
I would do my best to make a success of this job and I hope you will consider my application favorably . I have enclosed my CV for your attention and I would also be glad to attend an interview at any time convenient to you .
Yours faithfully ,

Dear David ,
I 'm Paloma , your new pen pal friend ! I come from an island called Cozumel . I like sports and hang out with my friends .
What did you do in vacation ?
I went to Cancún , visited museums and went to Xpu - ha , a really beautiful beach . We stayed in an apartment near it .
There , I saw a lot of tourists that were almost crying because they ate chili . I laughed a lot , and also my friends , do not underestimate the power of chili .
Do you have brothers or sisters ? I have two little ones , one of 11 years old and the other one 7 .
I have seven pets , 1 parrot , 2 dogs , 2 hamsters and 2 turtles . I think it 's a little more than normal .
Looking forward to receiving your letter !
A hug ,
Paloma
I live in a flat in the center of Magenta , near the church .
In my house there are two bedrooms , a kitchen , a studio , a bathroom and a living room where I can play videogames and I can watch TV .
My bedroom is amazing . I have a library of 12 shelves , where there are many books , and I have a big white desk where I study and do my homework .
On the walls there are a lot of posters about cars , bikes , football , views , animals and buildings .
The studio is n't big but is very comfortable and there is a PC .
In the kitchen there are the fridge , the freezer and the oven and it is connected with a little terrace where there is a small garden .
In the living room there are two sofas , a table with seats , and a beautiful television .
I think my house is fantastic , it is in a nice area and I never buy a motor home to live in .
My house is in a condominium where there are another 3 buildings and in this building complex there are 18 families .
International Bookshop 52 , Down Avenue
London
11th May 14
Dear Mrs Benson ,
I am writing to apply for a job in your international bookshop , which was advertised in the " London " newspaper last week .
I am 35 years old and from Spain , although I am studying Literature in London .
At the moment , I am looking for a job to spend the summer working .
I like reading books in other languages , because I speak Spanish , English and French fluently .
I have experience in this area , because I worked in another bookshop with temporary jobs last summer .
I would welcome the opportunity to spend the summer working in your international bookshop .
I enclose my CV .
If you require any further information , please contact me ( [email protected] ) .
Thank you for considering my application .
I look forward to hearing from you .
Yours sincerely ,
Felica Matesanz
Interestingly enough , this topic is one that is very important to me .
I often dwell on the characteristics of mankind that lead us to continually invent new things .
We seem to be somewhat obsessed with technology , and using it to dominate nature , as well as our fellow man .
Technology and inventions seem to stem from our natural fear of death and our human insecurities .
We attempt to dominate nature so that we may live without fearing death , and we attempt to dominate other people so that we may live without our petty insecurities .
For these reasons , I would argue that the only inventions of the twentieth century that have significantly changed people 's lives for the better are those that have occurred in the medical field .
Although these inventions do stem from a fear of death , they do not attempt to dominate nature nor other human beings as the majority of other inventions do .
They save lives .
By closely analyzing the nature of modern inventions , one notes a consistent trend leading away from a lifestyle that is peacefully coexistent with nature .
We are ourselves a part of nature , yet we attempt to live outside of it .
We continue to destroy plants , animals , and the earth itself and our new inventions help us to do it in more efficient ways .
Therefore , inventions in the 0th century have had , for the most part , a negative affect on our lives because by destroying nature , we 're destroying ourselves .
In addition , our inventions are used to dominate one another .
We invent better weapons and better economic systems geared to killing and depriving other people .
Medical inventions , on the other hand , are designed to help people of all colors , and can not be used to dominate nature or other people .
They are one of the only truely " kind " expressions of mankind 's creativity .
In modern society , especially regarding developed countries , traffic and all the problems related to it affects the socioeconomic conditions of the whole population .
Many governments argue that these problems could be solved by increasing the cost of petrol .
To my mind , this should not be the right way to solve them , but other measures need to be carried out .
In many overcrowded cities , like New York and Tokyo , the first cause of air pollution is the chaotic and uncontrolled flow of vehicles which use fossil fuels to operate .
This trend will certainly rise in the future , due to the great number of people who are moving from the countryside to the city .
This phenomenon happens especially in developing countries , such as China .
However , an increase in fuel 's price is not effective in reducing the traffic flow .
Indeed , over the last fifty years , this price has shown a dramatic boost but the air pollution continues to boost .
It can be seen in some virtuous towns , for instance Oslo in Norway , that encouraging people to use bicycles is an excellent way to reduce traffic and its consequences .
The said encouragement can be carried out by a decrease in taxes or other money benefits for those who ride their bikes instead of driving a car .
Another way to reduce traffic is the enhancement of the public transport system , that is larger trains , more bus lines , etc .
In fact , many people prefer to travel by car because the trains are often overcrowded or due to the fact that they have to wake up early in the morning to catch the bus .
In conclusion , although increasing petrol 's price could be effective in the short - term , this measure can not reduce the use of fossil fuels and , so , the problem related to traffic .
However , better solutions can be found by making people aware of the benefits due to the reduced use of the car .
Goodmorning ,
Last week I travelled by air with your airline . The trip was good but I lost my luggage .
It is big , fluo pink with blue lines .
I went to the staff to tell them about this situation . They told me to send an email to the company .
So I 'm writing to receive my luggage .
I hope that you can find it because it contains things very important to me .
Write to me soon !
Noemi
I 'm very pleased that you have taken into account .
I 'm an Italian girl , I 'm nineteen years old and I live with my parents and my twins in the south of Italy .
When I was a baby I used to go to summer camps with my family . I grew up in a camp .
I think that I 'm can be a suitable person for this job because now I look after my brothers , who are five years old , and I love cooking and playing with them . I 'm growing up in the south and here in summer there are many summer camps , and usually I work in those so I have experience .
hoping to have satisfied your requests , I'M waiting for your answer .
The people living in my town are not very environmentally friendly .
They are not that way minded .
For example , when it is time to take the rubbish out , the Townhall sets a committed time for this task .
Instead , the citizens choose not to do it during this time but any other time they feel like .
I think this is not a very proper thing to do .
My teacher asked me about what I do in my free time .
I always enjoy playing video games and I usually do it at night .
I do it at night because in the afternoon I study . I enjoy doing it .
I hang out regularly with my friends and we enjoy it a lot .
I think I am a privileged teenager .
In the past , people used to use public transport , and now people also use public transport , but at a smaller rate than in the past .
In my opinion , that in the future very few people will use it and maybe no one .
To start with , all people will prefer using cars to using public transport .
This is because when people use public transport , this tires them from standing and waiting for a long time in a crowd .
Also , having their own car will help them to go easily to any place they want without standing and waiting for find public transport to drive them .
Furthermore , bikes and walking will replace public transportation .
This is because people are now caring for themselves and for their health .
So , they prefer using bikes to using cars or public transportation for their health and to save the environment from pollution .
Moreover , in the future , public transportation may be banned to avoid the real harm of their toxic fumes .
Besides , it harms the environment and this can cause acidic rains and global warming .
To conclude , public transport is not useful anymore .
I believe that they will end because of their harm , which is far more than its benefits .
Drinking has been a custom in the U.S. for many decades .
Every since the wild west , the civil war , and the drafting of the Declaration of Independence .
People under the age of twenty one are considered to be minors when it comes to drinking alcoholic beverages in the United States .
At eighteen , you are considered a man , therefore you should be able to decide your own fate and make your own decisions .
Eighteen should be the legal age to consume alcohol in the United States .
You can be condemned to go to war in the United States at the age of eighteen , but you can not drink a beer like all of the other adults over the age of twenty - one .
Kids are dying for our country in wars , but the government will still not allow them to drink .
How can you think you are a man and fight in combat , when the government says that you are too young to do what all of the other adults .
I think if you can hold a gun and fight for your country , you should be able to feel the effects of drinking alcohol .
Kids are getting in too much trouble trying to hide their drinking from their parents .
Most kids eighteen to twenty are out of high school , and their parents do not care what they do .
A high school diploma should state that you are old enough to make mature decisions .
You can say that some kids that are eighteen and over do not have a diploma .
You can make a rule that if you do not have a diploma and you are under twenty - one , then you are not able to drink .
Maybe a higher percentage of teenagers will graduate , thinking that if they had a diploma they would be able to do anything an adult can do .
There would be less crime in the United States among teenagers if eighteen year olds were allowed to drink .
Most crime among teenagers is drinking and driving .
They are left with this decision to drink and drive because they try to hide it from their parents .
They can not drink in their own household , so they have to do it somewhere their parents would not find out .
Eighteen year olds would not be put in jail for containing alcohol in the car either , which is another high - percentage crime among teenagers .
Drinking should be prohibited for kids eighteen or older .
If the government passes a law allowing them to drink , it would just make the U.S. a better environment to live in .
If anything , the military should convince the government to pass a law allowing teenagers to drink .
If they pass that law , I would feel more like an adult , and accept more responsibility because I am one .
The invention of the airplane , in my opinion , has drastically changed the lives of many people .
Air transportation allows people to travel from place to place more quickly and efficiently and overseas travel has been drastically affected .
Without the airplane , my trip from the U.S. to Spain would've taken an extraordinary amount of time , maybe a week .
The invention of the airplane has also affected areas other than solely ( vacation ) travel , business , entertainment , and intercontinental relations ( politics ) have also felt the impact of the airplane .
As I 've already said , the area of travel has been greatly improved due to the airplane .
Travel times have been significantly shortened ; for example , to drive from Michigan to California takes about 30 - 35 hours , but to fly the same distance takes about 3 hours .
This allows people a greater variety of places to travel , and they can spend their vacation time at their chosen destination , not trying to get there .
The business world has definitely flourished due to the airplane .
As a result of the greatly decreased travel times , countries can work together much easier than previously possible .
Also , business relations within a country have improved .
Today , it is relatively easy for an American businessperson to have business relations in any part of the world .
I have seen this in the increase in International Business during the past few decades .
Entertainment , a very large field , has grown with the invention of the airplane .
Now , entertainers , whether they be musicians , actors , or athletes , can travel from place to place much more quickly .
For example , Michael Jackson just gave a concert in Madrid . This was made much easier because of the airplane .
Professional athletic teams reduce travel time , and are able to play more games in many different places because travel is so easy .
The last area I 'm going to touch on is intercontinental relations .
This area has been positively and negatively affected .
Positive aspects are those such as " Peace Talks " between nations ; these would not take place as often as they do , if it took the President 1 week to get to where they were going .
Also , heads of state can more easily interact with each other ( in their perspective countries ) with the use of air transportation .
There are negative aspects , too .
Unfortunately , wars have used airplanes .
Japan bombing Pearl Harbor , for example , and the U.S. dropping atomic bombs on Japan .
The invention of the airplane has had many positive effects- . Unfortunately , however , it has brought about some negative changes , also .
Nowadays , the number of cars is increasing and the number of public transport is reducing .
There are many pros and cons to using cars .
First of all , it is very useful .
You can drive anywhere and anytime . Secondly , it is more economical .
There is an opinion that in any job , discipline should prevail over talent .
To my mind , I would not even question the statement .
Firstly , only regular constant selfdevelopment ( which needs great discipline ) makes a talent turn into a perfect skill in different professions .
Any talent is nothing without discipline .
It is common knowledge that even the most gifted and talented musicians or ballet dancers , for example , never succeed without orderly hard work .
Even ballet dancers are famous for their strict discipline .
Secondly , even if a person does not have any evident innate abilities , he or she can develop perfect skills ( provided discipline ) and become more impressive than a disorderly talent .
To add to this , the last World hockey championship showed how weak our Russian team ( stuffed with brilliant players ) was against a less talented but more disciplined American team .
However , not all people share my thoughts .
They say if you are a genuine talent , discipline is unimportant because you already have talent and it is enough .
They also believe that talent is the only thing that matters in artistic professions and if you are not gifted , no discipline will help you .
I am afraid I can not agree with these people as I think discipline is more important than talent because only dowry is never enough , it needs support and day after day development .
As for creative professions , Pierre Cardin says that discipline and patience are in the first place for him .
I guess we can trust him .
To sum it up , you see the problem is twofold and is a complicated one , but I still feel that discipline is the leading characteristic in any occupation .
Well , my first impression is that : I absolutely disagree with the statement , because in my mind public transport is much more convenient than the car or almost the most tips of particular methods for travelling except walking or bicycle .
The reason is simple .
Travelling represents energy , then if you must spend energy , it is more economical and environmentally friendly if you can translate many people with the same energy .
Also , you can use better energy sources and with much better profit with public transport than the personal car ( like electricity from solar or wind devices ) and then your level of greenhouse gases may be reduced by an important percentage .
On the other hand , you have a lack of comfort or worse or poorer availability for any displacement you need , but the advantages of public transport over private transport are more significant than disadvantages .
There were many objections raised against the introduction of the National Lottery when the idea was first proposed .
The main issue raised was the unemployment that would occur in the pools company industry .
As the Lottery would sound more appealing due to the larger winnings , greater public interest and the fact that it is easier to fill in than a pools coupon , fewer people would do the pools coupon , and this decrease in demand would mean that pools companies such as Littlewoods and Vernon would be forced to make employees redundant due to a decrease in profits .
There were also problems raised about addiction and people younger than sixteen obtaining numbers .
When the National Lottery was introduced and also the scratch cards , many people became addicted to buying them . Most of these people were unemployed or poorly paid and the Lottery represented a source of hope for future richness . For many this was not the case , and addiction meant large debts or resulting in violence and stealing to obtain extra money . It was argued that this addiction is on a par with drug addiction and just as hard to kick .
It was also argued that many people under the age of sixteen would buy lottery cards , encouraging the whole nation and its youth to become compulsive gamblers , when money could be better spent on other products for instance on extra food for the family , or saving for a holiday or a car .
There were also objections raised to the amount of money the proposed jackpot was to be each week and the idea of roll overs increasing this figure even more .
Many people argued that the general public would not be able to cope with becoming overnight multi - millionaires and the untold pressure of fame on the front pages of a tabloid and begging letters would make many people crack , and that they would never lead a normal life ever again and lose many friends .
Finally , the lottery was thought to put less money into charity collection boxes as everyone would prefer to put their last pound on a lottery card than in a collection box .
Despite this , after a year of the National Lottery , there are many cases put forward for retaining it .
The main case is the amount of money that goes towards research charities . This was not the case at the start but was introduced later . Also , grants are given out to preserve our great countries heritage and culture , for example , extensive work to repair an existing art gallery .
Also , many sporting projects receive grants to build more recreational areas for the youth and public to express themselves and get them off the street and discipline them .
Another case for retaining it is the fact that people are still prepared to buy a ticket , and if the demand for a ticket is there , there is no reason why the supply should not be also .
It gives people hope and something to look forward to during the week .
It has also increased the profits of many newsagents throughout the country as they get a small percentage of the money for each ticket sold .
There has been a literal explosion of inventions during the twentieth century , ranging from the garbage disposal to the A - bomb .
Some were created to make our lives easier , others to make our lives longer , all were created for the purpose of advancing a civilization .
While each one of these inventions has affected our lives in one way or another , some stand out as more significantly changing our mode of living .
Perhaps one does stand out a little more among its competition , however ; that is television .
Before the late 1940 's entertainment , news , and information virtually all came through newspapers and radio .
A system that seemed to work , many households throughout the nation owned or had access to a radio and or newspaper where they could get the day 's information easily and completely .
And , in the case of the radio , all was almost immediate .
Description of sporting events , voices acting out stories , people from the government speaking directly to the people , the radio seemed the perfect solution to countries with its citizens living at all ends of its boarders .
The advent of television changed all of that , however , giving the public a " peak " at what radio was n't able to give them .
Along with the news and information the radio brought to the homes of the people of the world , the television was able to add images- pictures that enhanced the entire understanding of what was being broadcast .
Where once a reporter 's voice described a scene , now the people could see for themselves what was happening because , for the most part , it was happening in front of their eyes .
Besides the obvious higher level of enjoyment television watching may bring its viewer , the most important aspect of this creation is its ability to bring the worlds together .
A president of one country can be seen and heard in a country far away giving his views and ideas so that all can " understand " him .
The small town store owner can watch her son in his Olympic race as it 's happening without spending thousands to travel to see him in person .
The examples could be endless .
The television strength must be realized , however , as it does have the power to reach so many and persuade so many more .
It is a multimillion dollar business that has developed into even more facets of media which have become a significant part of our lives .
It is a power we should be thankful to control as long as we do just that , control it .
We can make television work for us in medicine , politics , education , and so much more , so it is necessary to remember to keep the vision in television .
In Brazil , the place where I have lived since I was born , we have the culture of practice soccer .
In my country , soccer is the preference of almost all people .
Today , my country is receiving the FIFA World Cup .
It 's the second time Brazil has received the World Cup event .
The last time was in 1950 , when Brazil lost the finals to Uruguay in a full Maracanã .
Millions of people expect Brazil to win the World Cup .
Environmental Problems
What will the future be like in 30 years ' time ?
We think that the planet will be in very bad conditions and the trees will be disappearing in 20 or 30 years because of deforestation , the humans will be having more wars because the water will be disappearing .
After that , the poles will have melt totally because the temperature of the sun will become crazy and very hard so some people will have died of diseases , for example cancer .
The air pollution will be to the extreme because cars will be flying by the streets and the technology will be totally changed .
Also , in 20 years we 'll be eating more fast food and our anatomy will have changed .
So ... before all this becomes serious , we must begin to take care of our beautiful world .
For sure , travelling by car is more convenient , but otherwise I do n't agree with the first statement that says there is no longer a future for public transport because of too many reasons . First of all , the cost wise secondary . The population required more unification than before in order to reduce the environmental violations and to save our planet also to enhance the chance to build a good relationship between humans in public transportation , we need to improve the vehicles that provide the services either bust and train stations .
Dear TOEFL Staff . I am writing about your email concerning my TOEFL IBT Test .
I decided to take the TOEFL IBT Test to apply at Copenhagen University , and indicated the U.K. only as an option , but it is not my first choice .
Can I take the test anyway or do I have to delete my reservation ?
I look forward to hearing from you soon .
Abortion is a controversial topic in today 's society .
Almost everyone has an opinion on the subject .
Many people believe it should be illegal .
Many others believe the government should not interfere ; it should remain the choice of the individual .
Hapeo poverty , personal choice and illegal abortions are examples why people should maintain their right to decide .
Abortion is the right of the people and it should remain so .
One in four women experience rape or attempted rape in their life time .
Imagine being forced to carry the child of a man who assaulted you and then being forced to give birth to this child .
Would I be able to love him or her ?
This traumatic event takes months or years to recover from .
Without the right to an abortion , many of these women would require more time to recover and more counseling that they would already be receiving .
Most unwanted pregnancies occur in poverty stricken areas of society .
Generally , children born into impoverished environments remain at that socioeconomic level their entire life .
Lower income families also tend to have five children on average , while middle and upper income families tend to have only two children .
By offering abortion to lower income people , you are helping to maintain a balance of the number of- lower income families and middle and upper income families .
Women deserve the right to have an abortion . They won this right in the case of Rowe versus Way .
This was a landmark victory for pro - choice women across America .
Without this case , women would probably not be able to make the choice today .
No one should be able to decide whether or not another person should be allowed to have an abortion .
This includes religious people and the government itself , because if they remove this right , who is to say they will not try to remove other rights eventually .
If abortion were to be outlawed again , would this end the practice ?
Not many women would continue to seek abortions whether it be by some unsanitary underground " clinic " or on their own with some primitive tool like a coat hanger or similar device .
Abortion would still be rampant but now it would have a much higher mortality rate and it would be more expensive .
Without abortions , where would all the unwanted children go ?
The basic plan would be to put them in adoption homes , but this would cost tax payers huge sums of money to support .
The average cost to support a child is one hundred twenty - five thousand dollars for eighteen years .
Infant mortality rates would skyrocket also because there would be a higher rate of ignorant and uncaring parents .
The Education system between Iraq and Australia
There is a big difference between Iraq and Australia in the education or study system , and this stems from the learning styles , as will show :
• In Iraq they still prefer the old learning styles , the school giving the basic knowledge dependent on the curricula and at the same time they foxes to the homework , but in Australia they care more about the in direct education through song , painting , story , and they do n't care about the homework because they do all their duty in the school .
• I think the parents in Iraq care about their children more than her in Australia because the level of education in Iraq determines their destiny because the Iraqi people prefer formal jobs rather than free work .
• Both Iraqis and Australians believe the knowledge gaining through education and it is not
Hello , my name is Lucio and I am from Mexico City .
Nowadays , the environment is in problems around the world , especially in my city , as is one of the biggest cities in the world , so four years ago I took the decision to do something to save natural resources .
The first thing that I do every day is to put a bucket behind me to collect the water that is wasted and then it is used to wash the yard .
The second thing that I do is to have energy saving bulbs in all of my house . With this action , the comtamiation that case my house is minimal and the last thing that I do is to close the faucet while I brushing my teeth .
I can do more in favor of the environment , but at the moment I am comfortable with the actions that I take every day .
Travelling by motorway today is not as easy as it was meant to be by any standards , yet every morning and evening motorways across the United Kingdom are blocked solid with traffic to and from work .
Not only is this ' ecologically ' unsound , due to the harmful byproducts of the combustion engine which has been stressed in the press recently , but it is also stressful , time wasting and expensive .
Earth has a finite supply of the fossil fuels from which petroleum and diesel for our cars and trains to run on , but ' we ' have a need to get to work which could be anything up to 200 miles away .
Not only are there problems with traveling from A to B , but the likelihood is that if B is any major city , you will waste more time looking for somewhere to park there .
During pre - war Britain rail was the only means of long distance travel within the UK and so the rail system was more efficient with more frequent trains and many more stations , but as the motor car became more popular , fewer people used the rail road and the system declined . The smaller demand has led to less frequent services at an increased price .
In my opinion , the only way forward is the increased use of public transport systems because of the sheer waste caused by the average two - car family .
The majority of the cars that you will see whilst travelling at a ' snails ' pace along the M6 outside Birmingham will be driven by one person with no passengers . If these drivers had offered to give a colleague from work a lift home , the numbers on the road would effectively be halved .
Cities such as Manchester have tried hard to control the increasing numbers of cars by introducing by - passes and providing multi - storey car parking .
Some cities have even banned cars from entering the city during work hours , making pedestrian life enjoyable .
Trams have been restablished in some cities , allowing people to leave their car to do their shopping .
This , in my opinion , is the attitude that should be adopted not only by town and city councils but by the government to reduce the number of cars on the road .
It was like her first day at school .
She stood before the great building and started searching for a clue which could help her overwhelm this feeling of uncertainty , desperation and terrible curiosity that invaded her .
What was required of her ?
How was she supposed to reach an agreement and establish a settlement with those beings which looked so much like humans but were not in the least similar to any other person she had ever known .
They were not animals , they were not machines , they were not automats , but they were ready to use her and give her back empty , with neither soul nor mind .
She was there to negotiate the end of the war .
She was alone and there were millions .
They had crept unnoticed .
A whole and soon to be lost civilization was fighting to survive and their future was in her hands .
They owed her everything , and therefore they had admitted to receiving her , but would they listen to her words ?
She knew she would just say lies , lots of lies , millions of lies , just as there were millions of beings with a reason to fight back : surveillance .
As she climbed the ruined stairs through the debris and filthiness , there were still some pieces of corpses remaining nearby and the smell was so disgusting she thought she would puke any time .
Her watch showed 13:13 h . That was a good hour , as good as any other .
The sun was shadowed by a dark rose dust .
In today 's society , it is unrealistic for one to expect to work for a single company or employee for the entirety of their life .
This essay explains this statement from three perspectives : economic , sociological , and legal factors .
Workers do not gain financial benefits to the maximum if they work for a single company for a very long time . Intending to attract more competent workers , companies tend to pay more to people who move in from another company .
In Japan , for example , many workers conduct job hunting after spending several years at a company in order to get a better job at another company .
Except for those whose prime motivation to work is not money , one needs to think of working for several companies to get a better life .
One will be constantly exposed to degrading opinions from society if he / she stays at a single company for the entirety of their lives : some societies consider people who do not change their companies less competent .
Again , in Japan , because there is a social norm that competent workers constantly change their jobs in order to get a better job , some people tend to see those who stay at a single company as having no competence and being less ambitious .
Being very sensitive to how other people see us , we are less likely to work for a single company for a very long time with such a social standard today .
Companies gain more benefits if they hire new employees for a short period .
Some countries command a company to hire an individual as a regular worker if they work over a specific number of years .
In Japan , for example , with the intention of securing jobs for the youth , companies are required to hire part - time workers as regular , full - time workers after the workers work more than four years .
This has been burdening some companies that are hiring only part - time workers for the sake of personnel costs : many companies , as a result , do not renew a work contract for more than four years .
Again , it is unrealistic for a worker to work for a single company for the rest of their lives .
Everything happened three years ago .
His father was very angry with him because Michael was n't the person he had been .
Michael came back very late one night .
He was going out with people who were a bad influence on him .
They were drinking every night and they were out of control .
That day , Michael 's father talked with him and gave him one last opportunity to change .
At first , Michael was out of control .
He started yelling at his father , hitting the furniture , so he was unable to hear what his father was saying .
Michael decided to leave because he did n't want to cause anymore problems , but it was too late .
If his father had understood why Michael was acting this way , Michael 's father would have punished him severely .
So , Michael closed the door and knew at that moment he had made a mistake .

Dear Phillip ,
I 've gotten your letter and will respond to you as soon as possible as I could .
You seem to be very upset due to these two interests .
I think you should n't give up any things you love .
They may exhaust you and give you no time for take a break .
I went through this during my high school life , so I can totally understand what you 're thinking .
I would rather give you some advice as taking advantage of your time .
It 's better to schedule your daily events , which can shorten your wasting time , like surfing the Net or watching TV . If you are still tired off , try to take a rest .
It 's fine for a time out but not for a give up .
I'm pretty sure it will work if you are willing to have a try .
Cheer up ! I will always be on your side .
ZUMBA , A HEALTHY AND FUNNY SPORT
If you want to keep fit , you must dance zumba .
Actually , zumba is one of the sports that you can find in all gyms .
It is a sport in which people move all the body since they dance to different kinds of music .
Usually , one session of zumba lasts around 60 minutes in which you can burn 600 calories more or less .
Also , you do exercise and , at the same time , you are fine .
Moreover , to practise zumba is an opportunity to meet other people and making new friends .
It is a sport that all people can train : children , women , men ... as well as it is considered a sport that makes people happy because they learn a lot of difficult dances , can see changes in their bodies , look healthy and thus , their self - esteem improve .
If you do zumba three times a week and you follow a healthy diet , you will lose weight and you will feel better .
Furthermore , I would like to advise that before each session , you must warm up the muscles to avoid any lesion or problem . You have to begin with careful because there are very quickly songs and you can do damage .
Also , you will need a lot of water for drinking .
On the other hand , if you feel tired , you can rest some songs .
To rest during a song is better than trying to dance all songs and end up injured .
In addition , after each session , you may stretch the body very well and thus , the next day you wo n't feel the horrible stiffness .
You have to practise zumba because it is very fun . You will be the king or queen of the discos .
My city is not good transport .
We have only bus and the system is n't good .
They are late and there are very many people
The politics should invest a lot of money in the system to better it .
If the politics use more correct the money , the situation will be much better .
Unfortunately , I can not say that my city is really nature - protective .
The city is quite clean , but all garbage is transported to scrapyards and stored there .
Some of it was burnt down , but most of the garbage remains forever .
Well , not forever maybe , but garbage remains on collectors for an indefinite time .
Several years ago , in my city , special garbage containers appeared .
These containers have several sections for different types of garbage .
But when a container became full , the dustcart operator poured all the garbage into the same trunk !
So naturally , people were not happy to see that , and in less than a month all those containers were abandoned .
The next major problem with environmental protection is industrial waste .
There 's a river in our city which is heavily poisoned with industrial pollution .
Today all factories have filtering systems , but our river is still forbidden to swim in .
Nevertheless , I 'd want to say that our city is changing .
These changes are not running fast , but they are in progress .
I hope that in a couple of years I 'll be able to say that the city is really clean .
People have always seen themselves as social animals , with living together as the norm .
Family life is one of the outlines of how we understand ourselves and our relationships , but also the way we build our places to live .
In this essay I will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different generations of one family living together in the same house .
In my opinion , there are more advantages , but the worst thing which can happen is the generation gap ( one of the reasons why relationships between teenagers and parents or grandparents can be difficult sometimes ) .
On the other hand , there is nothing better than getting on well together , especially with people you can rely on and trust .
They are your family , you are sharing your time and space with , so if you feel involved , your life will be easier .
All you need is good communication skills and empathy .
You can help each other when necessary , ask for a piece of advice and be able to take part in reasoned discussions .
There are some ways to prevent problems , ways to avoid upsetting each other .
It is important to keep an open mind .
When we act like that , we will find that all of us do n't just survive but thrive .
Finally , family living should be nurtured and supported by all family members because unity is our strength .
GOOD DEED
It was a nice Saturday night in Madrid .
I was in the Plenilunio with my friends as any adolescent of 15 years old .
When we were leaving the shopping center , I unexpectedly found a really weird handbag . I was shocked due to the situation .
Finding a bag with jewelry is not a mundane situation .
When I took the bag in order to see if there was any document or something that helped me to find the owner , my friends were turning a blind eye on me .
I quickly took the bag and left the shopping center surreptitiously while I was looking forward to my friends .
As I could n't find them , I directly went home as if nothing had happened .
When I reached my bedroom I saw that the exotic boxes I thought carried jewelry actually carried banknotes .
I actually thought it was a dream . When I reacted I had been 2 minutes as quiet as a mouse .
What should I do ?
I take the money and make if nothing has occurred or I try to give the bag back ?
Finally , my regrets convinced me to do a good deed .
Researching for something that help me to give the money back , I found the number of someone . We actually were going to meet when I found him on the street .
It was my neighbour !
I gave him the bag and , proud of myself , I went back home thinking about what would have happened if I , selfishly , had kept the money .
The question of a single Europe and whether this implies a loss of sovereignty for Britain has been one of considerable debate for some time .
Last November , one of the principle reasons underlying Mrs Thatcher 's resignation was her negative stance against increasing involvement in Europe .
Her views were not shared by many of her party colleagues who , on the contrary , were conscious of an all too pressing need for Britain to play an active role in a united Europe .
January 1993 is expected to witness the creation of the single European Market .
The aims of such a union are essentially economic .
All trade barriers will be broken down so as to encourage and promote free trade between the countries of Europe , in the belief that increased cooperation will lead to increased productivity .
In order to facilitate trade between the different nations , many people are in favour of adopting a common currency , namely the ECU .
This in turn would also have to lead to the formation of a central European bank .
A single Europe , whilst primarily being created as an economic union , will necessarily have implications on a political level .
The European Parliament , of course , already exists , but many people envisage that in a single Europe it will play a more important role and its power will be extended , possibly surpassing those exercised by individual national governments in Europe and overriding decisions made by them .
For supporters of a single Europe , the question of whether it will entail a loss of British sovereignty is not a primary issue . They would argue first and foremost that Britain can not afford to go it alone and that it is in her interests to join forces with the rest of Europe .
Critics of the European union , on the other hand , are afraid that increased cooperation in both the economic and political spheres will give rise to a European superpower which will undermine the sovereignty of Britain in these fields .
Personally , I am in favour of a single Europe to the extent that I believe Britain can no longer afford to stand alone in opposition to the other countries in Europe , all of which have long been in favour of such a union .
Moreover , closer cooperation will undoubtedly be favourable and bring about increased productivity and prosperity .
However , I feel hesitant at the prospect of a common currency , at least until the time when such a move might become necessary , as this would certainly mean the loss of British sovereignty from an economic point of view .
Yet I am even more against the idea of listening to political dictates from Brussels .
If the powers of the European Parliament are extended to the point that it has authority over national governments , our whole democratic political structure will be in grave danger and Britain will assuredly lose its political sovereignty .
Academic culture differs from one country to another , so it is the most important and challenging task for international students to adjust to the academic culture of Australia for effective learning .
During my studies , I have found a vast difference in academic culture between Nepal and Australia .
In Nepal , memorising lessons and rote learning is the basis of higher education .
In contrast , in Australia , students are supposed to use online resources for research , referencing , study independently and think critically .
At the beginning , I felt really uncomfortable using online resources , difficult to develop my own perspective and present a reasoned argument .
However , studying in Australian academic culture is an incredibly exciting and rewarding experience .
There are definite reasons for the difference in the academic culture of Nepal and Australia .
In Nepal , university teachers hardly get training , orientation and research opportunities to update their knowledge , so , they stick with the traditional method of teaching .
( Teijlingen , E. & Simkhada , P. ( 2010 ) .
As a result , the students fail to access research literature despite their strong academic success .
On the other hand , in Australia , courses like EAP are usually designed to improve students ' academic language proficiency and the relevant study skills which will help them throughout their academic life .
( Budley )
Thus , skill - based learning is more useful in our academic life .
In conclusion , for my effective learning at my university , I will access available resources for my research , improve my note taking skills , interact with teachers and peers in the class , attend class lectures and work hard to be an independent learner .
Amongst recent issues , there have been big problems in by the amount of heavy goods vehicles on British roads today .
This amount of traffic on the roads causes mass congestion on motorways such as the M25 in London and the M61 into Manchester . This static movement on British motorways has caused an increase in gas emissions from car exhausts into the atmosphere , which will eventually cause global warming .
A few suggestions have been made to remedy these problems but with no great effect .
A number of these are listed below .
An allowance of better access into Britain 's main industrial centres buy the building of large and susstacial highways .
A limited number of H.G.V. operators , only submitting a few lorries off their fleet to be used on British roads .
A kind of catalytic converter for diesel engines to reduce some of the harmful emissions .
Another idea is for the government to introduce some type of tolling system to be used on motorways and main A roads .
A final approach to the problem of congestion on motorways is to make Heavy Goods transport compulsory for rail only .
Here are only a few suggestions of how to convert British roads , but just these few would be cause for debate .
The problem with these suggestions is that it would cost millions of pounds to put any one of them into practice .
Take the first suggestion , for example , a network of routes into all major industrial cities would cost billions due to the fact that it costs £ 1million a mile of motorway .
If there were only a limited number of H.G.V. operators , it would drive a lot of people out of business and that would n't be in the best interest of the government .
A catalytic converter for diesel engines is a good idea but it would only reduce gas emissions and not congestion .
All the suggestions I have made have problems and this is why we still have problems on our roads today .
Dear Sirs and Madames ,
My name is Edda Preuß . I am from Germany and I finished my A - levels this year .
To get some new inspiration and some new ideas about what I would like to do in the future , I planned to do a read trip through the USA .
But my plans suddenly changed when I read your advertisement for the job at the summer camps .
I am a very open - minded person .
I love to travel and to explore different cultures .
Furthermore , I do many sports , such as swimming , running and dancing Flamenco , Zumba and Hip Hop .
I have already worked with children in the past as I was working as a swimming teacher for children from 4 to 7 years and also as I was doing an internship at a primary school in my town .
I loved to organize all sorts of activities , parties and meals .
I hope you share my opinion of being the perfect employer for the job you offer .
I am looking forward to meeting you personally .
Best regards
Edda Preuß
Dear Madam / Sir ,
I was pleased to see your report on municipal waste collection released recently , as I have long been interested in the data you published .
It was also great to see that the percentage of land - filled waste is lower compared to other regions and I was particularly glad to see that the utilisation of waste to recover heat and power has at least been started even if its proportion is still negligible in the overall treatment of waste .
It is my firm conviction that the proportion of recycled waste needs to grow during the coming year(s ) with shrinking the amount of land - filled waste quantities - to avoid the detrimental effect this latter has on the health conditions of the local population .
Due to this , I would like to propose that you involve locally based companies in decision making , since they are likely to have a stake in maintaining a clean local environment while eager to utilise recycled raw materials for their manufacturing processes .
It is imperative that you take my proposal into serious consideration , because the growing number of illnesses caused by toxic waste in the soil increases the municipality 's social security expenditures , while ruining the lives of local families .
Yours sincerely ,
Carlo Paole
Genetic manipulation has been going on for many centuries in the form of selective breeding , both of crops and animals .
This technique has been of great benefit to the human race , enabling the production of more food , better food and new and interesting varieties of food .
Of course , it is not just food that has benefited from selective breeding - the development of different natural fibres such as wool and cotton has been aided by it .
It is only in very recent times that genetic manipulation has been seen to have bad as well as good sides .
This is because we are now at the stage where scientists can alter an organism by changing its genes in some way .
I do not believe that the scientists who originally began research into the nature of genetics had any idea that it would one day be put to bad ( or good ) use - they simply wanted to find out what it was all about , and hence can not be blamed for any later events .
Today , much research is being carried out on human genes to find out how they work , and whether they can be altered to prevent diseases .
The scientists who work on this can not be blamed if someone else uses their technique for less philanthropic ends - for example , in biological warfare , or to eliminate a ' gay ' or ' criminal ' gene which may be present in human embryos .
Where scientists can be blamed , however , is in the case of genetically engineered tomatoes .
These are now available in a supermarket near you , with their genes altered to increase their redness , juiciness or resistance to disease .
These tomatoes are probably perfectly safe , but if they , or some other genetically engineered food , proves to cause a terrible disease , then that is the fault of the scientists who developed them , because they did not test them adequately to make sure they were safe .
Similarly , if genetically engineered vaccines or medicines prove to have harmful side - effects , that is because they were not adequately tested before being released into the market , and the scientists are to blame .
To whom it may concern ,
I am writing this letter because I think I am a suitable person for this job .
I love working with kids and I have a lot of experience taking care of them , also organizing different activities .
I love working in the kitchen and I am an excellent cook .
Sincerely ,
Natalia
We all knows that famous people have a hard life .
They are constantly in mind , in the center of attention .
Famous people do not actually have personal time .
Is that right ?
In my opinion " no".I think these people deserve freedom .
Celebrities have 2 lives .
First life is for society and the press .
Second life is private without cameras and journalists .
Like any normal person , these people want to silence and rest after a hard day .
Sometimes journalists are waiting for their " victims " around houses , and restaurants .
It is not very nice .
Often they are asked dirty and unpleasant questions .
Famous people also want to spend time with family and friends .
I think to solve this problem we need to indicate the time and place where a famous person will give an interview .
Police can arrest journalists if they takes interviews in the wrong place .
Then I think this would facilitate the life of famous people .
For one thing , they are people , but not a machine .
The National Lottery was introduced to Britain in November 1994 .
Since the first draw , it has become increasingly popular , involving millions of people across the country each week .
The proposal of a lottery brought about many objections and complaints ;
There were , and still are , two principle concerns the Anti - National Lottery Campaigners still have .
For people living in high society , a ' flutter ' on the National lottery each week has no effect on their financial position .
These kinds of people can afford to spend £ 10 - 20 a week .
The concern lies for the , and I use the term lightly , ' working class citizens ' .
These people work hard throughout the year and can not afford to spend copious amounts of money on the lottery .
The problem is , these working men and women and un - employed men and women do spend money they ca n't afford .
The second of the two problems is the encouragement of gambling .
The National Lottery , after all , is another gambling game .
The probability of winning the jackpot is approximately 1 in 14 million and the probability of winning ten pounds is 1 in 58 .
It is gambling , but more importantly , it is gambling made available to 16 year olds .
A lot of the gambling problems tend to lie with the scratch cards associated with the lottery .
These are easily purchased and the attraction is winning on the spot .
The thought of being rich instantly encourages gamblers young and old and under - age to purchase tickets .
The National Lottery , however , has its good points .
There is one main advantage to the lottery .
It has helped charities and societies around the country to achieve things which would otherwise have been impossible .
From buying a young child with brain problems a very expensive piece of stimulative equipment to building a new village hall for a small community in the Shetland islands , the lottery has helped young and old , far and wide .
The lottery has also created jobs , encouraged spending and has made many people have happy dreams about what it would be like to be rich .
The National lottery has its good points and its bad points .
Deciding whether it should have been introduced or not is very much a personal thing and depends on how importantly you rate the points I have emphasised in this essay .
I believe it is a benefit to the country .
Dear STUDENT FILM CLUB ,
I thought I might help you with choosing an awesome movie for the club .
A thriller actually .
I absolutely loved this one because of its amazing actors , Leonardi Di Cabrio and Blake Lively .
They played a married couple in their early thirties who had just moved to a lake house .
Of course , after a few weeks strange things started happening .
At night they heard weird noises and moans coming from the lake .
Furthermore , the woman started to see shadows and movements around the water .
And it only got worse .
I do n't want to give you a huge spoiler and ruin everything , so I am only going to tell you that it will get pretty sick .
Someone is going to die and there is going to be a lot of blood .
I really recommend watching this thriller .
If you have the guts , you will love it just as much as I did .
Until next time , Lea .
Hi Jo ,
I am so glad to hear from you .
