How to reduce stress? | Letter for principal

Dear Sir,


I am writing to tell you about the things, that I had figure out studying in your school. Everyone knows, that schooling is really difficult process and all the pupils often feel stress. Some of them feel it from time to time, some get read of eat only after leaving the school.(Especially primary school students who are not used to cope with that.)
And now I am going to share my opinion about how to reduce stress.
First of all I would say that we need a little bit more time for the rest and of course the place where we can fully relax not to stay in that noisy, narrow corridor which is always full of children. Some of us have an extra lessons or even some hobbies or work too and it is usually necessary to have a look through your homework to feel more ready. Secondly, I would like our teacher inform us better what is going to be in our test works, because you really feel more confident when you know exactly what kind of exercises you have to cope with not waste the time learning needless facts.
And additionally I think that teachers have to be more understanding, because sharing your thoughts, fears and problems with him or her helps to reduce stress and to be afraid of nothing.
I am looking forward to hearing from you as soon as possible. Hope that you will agree and help me to make some of this suggestions real.



Yours faithfully,
Pakk Valeria

Essay | Intelligence or abilities?

Some people believe that intelligence has more to do with a person's potential than with their abilities.
I slightly agree with this statement. Intelligence is knowledge, experience, enterprise. Like three in one. And this three aspects are the components of success. And if you include efficiency and self-confidence it could be really the greatest combination.

But I have to say something in favor of abilities and talents. There is a tiny amount of people who have an amazing talents and all evidence to achieve their purposes. But the most of this not so numerous group of people get there results easily and just become smug and presumptuous. It is a serious problem, because that is why they become narrow minded, they will not move themselves and their business along.

So, no matter what, we definitely have to add a lot of hard work. This main component is extremely important. Without it neither intelligence nor abilities will realize your potential. And in contradistinction to intelligence and abilities only the hard work can make not really intelligent and not really talented person successful and only this person will truly worth it.

Funny Job.

One day homeless actor is visiting the zoo hoping to earn some money as a street performer. Whereas he starts to draw attention of a crowd, a zoo keeper calls him into his office. The zoo keeper explains to the actor that the zoo's most popular animal, an orangutan, has died unexpectedly and the keeper is scared that interest of visitors at the zoo will decrease.

He offers the actor a job to dress up as the monkey until they can get another one. He agrees.

So the next day the actor wearing the orangutan suit enters the cage before the visitors come. He found out that it is a funny job, he liked it a lot. He could have a rest anytime he wants, play and make fun of people and he attracted bigger crowds than the zoo ever did. However, sooner or later the people tire of him and he tires of just hanging on tires. Eventually, he begins to figure out that the people are paying more attention to the lion in the other cage. Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he piles in to the top of his cage, climbed over a baffle, and hangs down from the top to the lion's cage. As a result, this makes the lion angry, but the public loves it.

In the evening the zoo keeper comes and gives the actor a raise for being so willing. Well, this goes on for some time, the actor goes on annoying the lion, the audience grow larger, and his wages keeps growing too. Then one terrible day when he is dangling over the furious lion he falls. The actor is frightened.

The lion gathers itself and prepares to attack. The actor is so terrified that he begins to run round and round with the chasing lion behind. Finally, the actor starts shouting and screaming, "Help me, help me!", but the lion is cunning and quick. Therefore the actor soon is flat on his back looking up at the angry lion who says, "Keep your mouth closed, idiot! Do you want to get us both shut?"
