5. You need to travel from your home to a place 40 miles (64 kilometers) away. Compare the different kinds of transportation you could use. Tell which method of travel you would choose.

If I had to travel 40 miles away from my home I would be considering the following means of transportations: a car, bicycle and bus. Every of these means of transportation have advantages as well as disadvantages. In this essay I will analyse all of them and present my view in favour of travelling by car.

Travelling by bus brings many benefits. First of all, one does not have to drive. So, I can just relax and enjoy the view from my window. Secondly, it is cheaper. I will not have to buy petrol or pay for the car insurance. However, travelling by bus has a few disadvantages as well. For example, I will have to follow the bus schedule. Another important aspect, I will not be able to arrange the speed or make a stop when I need to. On the other hand, travelling by bicycle is a great exercise. Secondly, it is pollution free. However, it can take too much time and at the end of my trip I will be tired and exhausted. In addition, I will most likely need a shower and some rest.

In contrast, travelling by car brings many advantages. First of all, I can arrange my speed as I want to. If I am in a hurry I will speed up a little. Otherwise, if I am not in a hurry, I can make some stops and enjoy the surroundings or have a lunch in the nearest bar. Secondly, I do not depend on a schedule like with travelling by bus. So, I can start my trip when and where I want to. In addition to those practical benefits, travelling by car is the fastest way. Another important aspect of this if I am travelling with my friends, we can talk, listen to the radio we like and discuss everything we want. A car can give us privacy. Of course, I will have to pay for petrol and travelling by car is not as save as travelling by bicycle or bus but I think it can not change my mind.

To sum up, I think that I would choose travelling by car. It is much more convenient and offers a great amount of advantages.

6. Parents are the best teachers and everything roots in the family

The best teachers, no doubt, are our parents. They are the first our teachers and mom’s experience as s teacher in early childhood of their children when kid’s mind is opened, flexible and have a great studying abilities. Although parents are responsible for their child and doing all they best for training and growing up child. Besides, parents taught us the art of life. And a very often parent is the pattern of behavior, and I must say, sometimes it’s can be harmful for children.

Parents would be better than teachers in educating their children for several reasons. Firstly, children may strongly believe or listen to their parents because of their nature relationship. For example, a little boy may naturally happily greet other people everytime he meets just because their parents teach him to do that. Secondly, it may be easier for parents to expect their children to obey. For instance, a father can tell his little daughter to get up earlier everyday which is not easy for teachers. Another reason is that children may find that they can only share their personal problems to their parents. The closer parents and children are, the easier parents can educate their children. As a result, parents are ideal people to educate their children.

Parents are responsible for us and they know it. They can do for us anything: they study chemistry and solve difficult problem – our home task, dad can became a painter and paint wonderful pictures for our pain classes and mom can read a huge novel since you are tired and can’t do it yourself.

Parents teach us the most difficult subject in our life - they teach us live. Father’s lecture how you must kick the ball to get the score about seventy meters from goal. Mom’s gentle voice asking you to clean up you room or to do something by house teach you to be organized and practical.

And the last we are not the same as our parents in our behavior. That means what sometimes we see bad feature of our parents and that teach us be better. Even in that case parents do their job as our teachers.

The conclusion is that our moms and dads are the best our tutors. They give us all their experience and knowledge and more over they dedicate their life to us.
