.pdfHave relationships among people changed for the better in comparison with the past times?
Essay: | -
It is not a rare case to come across a lot of criticism towards modern society which is said to be callous and superfluous. However, there are some people who believe that relationships between people have undergone some positive alterations.
In my opinion, it seems that contemporary people are so busy to keep up with the fast pace of life that they hardly have any time for efficient socializing. The first point to bear in mind is that life is very expensive nowadays and many parents are forced to work long hours. As a result their children are deprived of certain amount of attention, not to mention that this lifestyle does not contribute to good relationships between the couple. Secondly, many people complain of a gradual loss of moral values in the society. The elderly are not the most respected members of it anymore and there is little compassion shown towards people in a dire need.
Nevertheless, the opponents of this point of view are in a hurry to remind that the role reversal between men and women is obviously a change for the better. Women have become more independent and there are fewer prejudices of men staying at home and looking after children.
Although, this argument holds some water it seems to be a statistic fact that the divorce rates have escalated compared to the old times when people used to be more dependent on each other.
Taking everything into account it is possible to conclude that contemporary lifestyle does not contribute to creating strong bonds among people.

Stray/=Homeless Animals
Some people believe that animals without owners should have the right to live on the streets in cities. Others say that they could be dangerous and should be collected and found new homes, or even put down.
| - Composition.
Some people think that it is quite acceptable that stray animals live in the streets and poeple don`t worry about it.Others believe that it is abnormal and can lead to some dangerous consequences and it is required many attention and efforts from people to find comfortable living places for homeless animals.
In my opinion the responsibility for animals is very important. The problem of homeless animals requires special attention and solution.Firstly,the responsibility for animals appeals to fewer and fewer people. Secondly, many homeless dogs and cats suffer from the lack of food and die of starvation on the streets. Such incidents are heart-rending. So this cannot go on in this way. It is inhuman, outrageous treatment in relation to our «small brothers».
Actually, this problem concerns every one and humanity must improve the situation.
On the other hand, there are those who don`t worry that stray animals live on the streets, dumps, cellars, heating mains, deserted buildings.
I can`t stand this relation towards the defenseless I certainly agree with people who don`t disregard to give help to “our little brother»: keep animal shelters where people can find a pet, treat sick animals, give them warmer care and attention.
In conclusion it should be noticed that it is good that some people are indifferent in relation towards defenseless and unprotected animals. Unfortunately, this happens less now. But anyway people should not forget that they are responsible for those, who they have tamed.
Teenagers' Behaviour
Some people believe that teenagers today are rude, lazy and badly behaved. Other people,however, think that teenagers have a bad reputation for no reason.
ESSAY: | -
Nowadays there are so many teenagers, who are very impolite, naughty, but most of them are very outgoing, hardworking and purposeful.
In my opinion, teenagers are not very rude, evil and lazy; they have a bad reputation for no reason. Firstly, a lot of teenagers attain success; they enter universities and have got well-paid jobs. And it proves that they are not lazy. Secondly, now teenagers create social advertisements, where they ask people to save their lives and give up bad habits. Thirdly, they help adults and children who need help, such as, the sick and the disabled. Now a lot of charity organization, where teenagers work there as volunteers.
However, there are some people, who believe, that teenagers are generally rude, lazy and badly behaved. They think so, because they notice only bad features in them. For example, they think that all teenagers smoke and take drugs. I do not agree with them: firstly, none of teenagers in my school smoke or take drugs; secondly, I am sure that modern teenagers lead healthy lifestyle.
To sum up, I think that teenagers are very good, kind and sympathetic. The main thing for them is kindness to people. I hope that there will be more people, who will believe in them and will understand that teenagers are the modern generation, which continues the way to the future.
ENV: Climate Change
Climate change is inevitable, it is not something we should panic about.
ESSAY: | -
Nowadays a problem of changing climatic conditions, in particular, global warming, is a very actual issue. Some people believe that there is no reason to worry and we cannot stop this process, others have much against. So where is the truth?
In my opinion, every man should pay special attention to this serious question. First of all, let me give an example, if climate on the Earth changes, there will be mortality increase. Many diseases might be caused by changing environmental state. Secondly, many kinds of animals and plants will not acclimate to the new conditions and therefore will also perish. It means that there will be reduced diversity of terrestrial fauna. Finally, the majority of governments of different countries will certainly have many difficulties, because they have to work out a plan to solve economic, social and other problems, arising from climate crisis.
However, there are a lot of people think that global changing environmental conditions do not depend on humanity and we should not care about it. In addition, most of them think that climate change is so far from today.
I do not share this opinion as I am sure that human activities promote global warming. For example, cars give off exhausts. Possibly, people cannot stop climate change at all, but they should try to mitigate effects of it for better life in future.
To sum up, I am strongly convinced, that changing climate is a very big and serious trouble for humanity. It is necessary for all of people to do everything possible to suspend the development of the problem.
Cars Should be Banned
The car has become the most popular means of transport in the history of the world. However, some people say that the world would be better without cars.
Essay: | -
There is no doubt that the invention of the car has changed the world and nowadays we can hardly find a family without a car. Some people claim that cars should be banned. In fact, there are too many cars in our towns and cities which causes more pollution and more traffic jams in rush hours. So, what is right in such situation? !"! (.There is growing concern that the increasing numbers of mostly cars may actually disrupt the environment of urban areas. Where is the way out?)
In my opinion, I do not mind reducing the number of cars. Without any doubt, limited transport capacity contributes largely to the vexing problems and people must definitely improve the situation.
As the matter of the fact, some people feel pessimistic about our future with cars. They worry about pollution, poisoned air we breathe, amount noise which are caused by cars, lack of space for green gardens and playground.
They are certainly right but only partly. I think our cars cannot be banned at all. Also, using cars is very essential for people, as we can get food using cars by delivering products to homes, business, work. In conclusion, I would like to say that everything is in our hands. People can build efficient underground, tram service which will certainly make our lives better and more comfortable. In addition, environmentally friendly vehicles will reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. They must be produced multitude and sold in acceptable prices.
Education
Should education be free?
ESSAY: | -
There are no doubts that good education is utterly important in the contemporary world. In many countries people are obliged to pay if they want to study and this is a norm of life. However, the opponents of this system claim that the society is negatively affected by paid education.
Personally, I believe that both citizens and the government benefit from free education. Firstly, this way the gap between the rich and the poor is less yawning. All people, regardless of their social status and income, should have a chance to study. Secondly, by providing affordable education the government increases the overall intelligence level in the country and reduces poverty. Finally, the more people are qualified the better outlook for the future is in the global scale. The work market is in need of enthusiastic and skillful employees who are able to work hard for the sake of their own and the country’s prosperity.
Nevertheless, there is an opinion that paid education is more effective. It is said that students treat studies more seriously when they have to pay for it. Moreover, tuition fees enable colleges and universities to buy expensive equipment essential for certain classes.
Although they are partly right, I cannot help thinking about talented poor students who cannot afford to study in a university. Their intellectual capacity will be wasted on society and they are not going to make a scientific breakthrough only because of a lack of money for decent education.
All things considered, I maintain that free education is not only beneficial for people but also for the officials. Only intelligent and welleducated society is able to create a strong and developed state.

In conclusion,I want to say that most of the teenagers can be kind,intelligent and pesponsible people,and be succesful in the future.
Many people believe that the only way to lose weight is following a special diet. However, doctors consider dieting harmful to our health.
Nowadays, people are thinking about their health more and more. And those people who is keeping fit are healthy. Some think that the best way to improve their fit is the dieting. Others believe that a strict diet causes bad state of the health.
In my opinion, dieting is a good way to lose weight. To begin with, following a diet helps to reduce the amount of food you eat, cut out snacks and desserts and consequently get rid obesity. Secondly, the diet may cut down on fat. Finally, you may plan quality of calories and distribute food daily.
On the other hand, there are those who think a strict diet may be dangerous. The lower the calories eaten per day , the harder it is to get the daily requirements of proteins and vitamins.Moreover, excessive dieting causes muscle loss and this loss may be from your heart with severe consequences. In addition, dieting lowers your metabolic rate, so when you return to your normal food intake, you will put on weight ever faster than before.
In conclusion, i am strongly convinced that a well-balanced diet is the best way to keep fit. And it gives a body what it needs.
