 Every generation of people is different in important ways. How is
your generation different from your parents’ generation? Use
specific reasons and examples to explain your answer.


Generation gap is a term used to describe differences in cultural norms between members of a younger generation and their older. This is when older and younger people do not understand each other because of their different experiences, opinions, habits and behavior. None is exception to this phenomenon.

The prompt response in decision-making is a characteristic of today’s young people. We  have learnt to act fast. The video games young people have grown up and have played a vital role. We have played with simulations in our childhood and we have learned to act fast, observe what happens, and we have  adapted. My father does not remember of a video game in his childhood. The games he knew were  football and volleyball.

The concept of career has changed. We talk more about jobs and we don´t know about the important of a career however other young people don’t see any benefit in picking a single career and they want  more than one career parallel !!

 Life in the new millennium is all about speed. In a climate of rapid change that we act fast and we  win or  we stay in the game. Those who proceed slowly and cautiously lose. The Information era has taught never to wait for anything. Computer simulations help formulate ideas, test, retest, refine and move forward.
We do the things just it at the speed of thought.
In conclusion; loyalty has new meaning among younger generation that  we see our parents as if they always want to take the opposite that we want. Now We have to look ourselves first and see that we have different option to get our goals and we must know how to take it


You have the opportunity to visit a foreign country for two weeks. Which country would you like to visit? 
Use specific reasons and details to explain your choice.



People sometimes talk about the country they want to visit. Before I reveal
my opinion about this issue, I think that the statement in the topic assumes
that I can go to any country for two weeks. Under this assumption, my choice
would be If I could visit any foreign country, I would like to visit Ireland. The scenery there is so beautiful . Ireland has a lot of rain and that makes everything very green  . It has not become a completely industrialized country yet, so there are still areas where the countryside is unspoiled by pollution.Often ,you walk  for miles without seeing car or coming to a big city. I would like to capture some pictures  there. I will look  at beautiful scenery. The area near the ocean is especially dramatic, with giant dark cliffs rising out of the water.

I also think I would enjoy the slower pace of Ireland. It is so different from the busy pace of my country . Of course, Ireland is big cities are just as hectic as any big city anywhere. But many of the Irish live in smaller towns or on farms in rural areas. Visiting these places is very restful. People do not feel the need to stick to a schedule . Things get done , but in a much more relaxed fashion. In my country ,there is the feeling that you are always late for something. In Ireland ,it feels like you have never late because no one are stresses.
Ireland would be a refreshing break . I wish I could go there

Some people believe that university students should be required to attend classes. Others believe that going to classes should be optional for students. Which point of view do you agree with? 
Use specific reasons and details to explain your answer.






Recently, in the university, there is a debate about the requirement of attending classes. Some people believe that students should been given option to decide if going to classes.


Sometimes I feel that studying alone seem to be more effective than attending the classes, especially, when I have a strong interest in a certain subject. However, I disagree with the point of view that the classes should be optional for university students, because the function of the classes is never replaced by studying alone.

The main reason for my view is that we can't learn all knowledge gained from the classes by learning the textbook alone. Since the professor had studied his subject for many years and had spent much times to prepare the class. There are knowledge that are distinctive and can't be gained from the textbook.

Furthermore, the professor know which knowledge is very important and i think the form to take it is participate and discuss .
Another reason for my view is that we not only can learn some knowledge in the classes but also learn the team spirit, the discipline and routine. In the classes, we often discuss with other students, sometimes we even cooperate with others to accomplish a project. So we have to learn to get along with others and train our team
spirit. Always attend  the classes also can let us used to routine and obey the discipline. All these characters are very important for our coming jobs. So based on all these reasons and examples, I think university students should attend the classes and that can't be optional.


Nowadays due to the technology students have different option to attend classes, some attends from home and others from different other places through internet. From my point of view I think students should attend classes to gain an extra knowledge, cooperate with teachers and other students and of course by attending classes students can practice their responsibilities and discipline in every day work and study.

Many people visit museums when they travel to new places. 
Why do you think people visit museums? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.




 Some people will find it boring , amusing or even entertaining. Furthermore culture activities are the best way to get familiar with some country’s customs and traditions. In my opinion museums are a great way to get familiar with a certain country.When it is about visiting another country, it always comes related culture, past events, customs.
When the people do tourism  basically will see big part of the country therefore when going to other nation museums are a must for every foreigner.

When it comes to the word tourism, it is connected with money. But among the big variety, museums certainly take a stand because it is cheaper than other activities. Secondly it is a form for entertainment. In addition in museums there is always something to catch your attention. For example take a photo or just spend time watching a picture.
Even if you are native to the country you live museums are a great way to spend your time. The show programs of the most exhibitions are made in way, so they can entertain their visitors. For example guiders who can provide you with facts not-so-well-known to the people who live in those city. In addition you can increase your knowledge about your native country. About past events, different national heroes, who are precious to your society. In this way you can even help yourself with developing your common culture.


an example is the museum wax in London.

In conclusion , museums are useful to both tourists and native citizens in the country they are situated. They will provide with knowledge and entertain. There is no doubt that you can spend some great time and have great memories.

Terror before Christmas

The Storys Chest




It was one summer day. There was nothing on the road. After a while, a car passed. Inside, a father and his daughter were travelling, they going back home. "It seems to me that I have taken the wrong way", the father said. "We will have to continue forward to be able to ask".



They passed by a beautiful village where they asked what ther was hereinafter. A villager told them, "there is a wood but you had better not go in, because people who enter the wood never come back". They didn't care the warning and they entered the wood. There was nothing but trees and big rocks. Suddenly, the car crashed, there was a tree in the middle of the road.



The girl cried, "Dad, there is something in front of us". "Don't tell nonsenses" answered her father. The father get out of the car to see what had happened. Then a strange wind rose, as if the wood didn't like their presence. An owl called them, it seemed that it was looking for them. As the owl flew over them, its shadow was enormous.


When the man got into the car, he noticed that his daughter had disappeared. Then he went to look for her, but he didn't find her. He arrived at the middle of the wood, where was a lake that was completly transparent. He heard strange noises behind him, and he began to get nervous. He realized that there were a lot of black cats around the lake.


Behinde the cats, he could see a very tall man dressed in black, but when he approached, the man disapeared.
Then he heard a voice: "You will never see your daughter again, now she's my daughter and she will be with us forever", the voice said. When he turned, looking at the lake, he saw his daughter on the other side. He ran towards her. When he approached her, he noticed that the lake became red, blood red.


When he touched the girl, she ignored him. He was amazed. Looked at the sky that began to get cloudy and it seemed it was going to rain. A thick fog began to rise. He took the girl in order not to lose her. A bit later, the fog cleared, but when he looked at his girl, she wasn't there. She was on the other side of the lake with an enormous owl.


The girl was chaking. Her arms began to get bigger and bigger, her head looked oval and her mouth and teeth were that of an authentic scavenger.
The next he could hear was a cried of horror.

Nobody saw or heard tha father and his daughter again.
