The letter to a politician.

Dear Sir/Madam,

     I am writing to inform you that on Saturday 22 February is going to be organised a demonstration on favor of a new community center. This initiative is developed to encourage people to leave their homes and spend their leisure time actively.

In my opinion the opening of this kind of center is extremely useful for our small town. Here we could make some educational events, creative exhibitions of growing talents or some social discussions on different themes. Though our town is not so large, people should know that we have some smart talented persons to be proud of too. Also we want make people of our town move forward and discover new interesting things.

We would like to invite you to join and support us in this demonstration. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,
Valeria Pakk

Report.

Introduction
The aim of my report is to analyze the results of the survey, which was carried out among students of Aru Secondary school. The survey shows what kind of book do pupils of these school prefer. According to results it should be decided what kind and what amount of books school has to acquire.

Girls
At first, the most popular genres among female students are romantic and historical novels. Majority chose romantic novels as their favorite genre and historical novels are a little less popular. They were chosen by 28% of respondent girls. 21% of female students are interested in reading thrillers. And, unfortunately, the least popular is poetry. Only 17% consider it as a favorite genre.

Boys
However, the survey shows that male and female students interests are different. The most popular genre among boys is thriller. This is shown by the fact that 51% chose it as their favorite. Historical novels are also popular almost as popular as among girls. Boys are much less interested in romantic novels than girls are. About 11% questioned boys prefer it. And the least popular such as among female students is poetry. Only 9% of boys are interested in reading it.

Conclusion
To sum up, I would say that a popular genre of literature among all the Aru Secondary school students is historical novel. Based on the survey I would basically recommend to purchase mostly historical novels and thrillers, but still not to ignore other genres, survey shows that some students are still interested in them too.

Sophie Milman.

I would like to talk about Sophie Milman. She is an extremely talented young jazz vocalist that conquers hearts of  fans by her mesmerizing, gentle voice and various repertoire.

I suppose that she earns such success not only because of her amazing vocal abilities, she is also interesting as a person. I would say that she is not famous like for example Christina Aguilera or Mariah Carey and she does not have so many awards as they do, but she still has something to teach and not only as a professional.

Her family was forced to move a lot for some reason. Sophie was born in Ufa, but at the age of 6 she had to come through serious culture chock after immigration to Israel. She became successful there, but soon she had to immigrate again. This time into Canada. I admire this person, because she is never scared to start over and over again. Her biography and creation taught me not to be afraid of changes and try to overcome everything that life offers with maximum benefits for myself. She is also important for me because I have been studying vocal for two years and she is an idol for me not only as a person, but as a musician too.

To conclude I would say that Sophie Milman is a strong and talented woman that deserves respect of her audience and acceptance that she earned.

Et normaalselt elada, tuleb võtta pangast laenu.

Ma ei ole selle väitega üldse nõus. Vastupidi, arvan, et laenuta elamine on palju mõnusam ja rahulikum. Kui sinu raha kuulub ainult sinule ja sinu perekonnale elu muutub malju lihtsamaks ja sundimatuks.
Isiklikult minu arvates ainult pangast ja võlast vaba elu võib olla tõesti meeldiv. Kuid sinu niisugune vabadus sõltub sinu palgast ja eelkõige sinu haridusest. Mõned inimesed ei teeni palju ja nad saavad lubada endale mõningaid väikesi liialdusi ainult laenute kaudu. Loomulikult ma saan nendest aru. Ei saa loobuda igast elu lõbust, kui sul praegu raha ei ole. Aga inimestele, kes täna elavad üle mõned raskused ma soovitaks leida endas oskust rõõmustada väikeste asjade pärast, see on tasuta ja kasvatab teil kõlblust ja häid, suurt hinge. Arvan ka, et peale laenu võtmist tuleb hästi kõik läbi mõelda. Sa pead ette arvestama sellega, kui palju aastat sa oma laenu tagasi annad. Elu on muutlik ja äraarvamatu, mõnikord inimestega juhtuvad hädad ja pärast nende sugulased annavad neid laenu pangale tagasi. See ju ei ole õiglane. Mõtlen, et keegi ei taha oma lähedast tülitada ja ülekoormata.
Küsimus on selles, kas sa oled nii vastutusvõtlik, et saad oma laenutega hakkama või ei ole.

One day my family decided to move to another town. I was really excited about that. New place, new people that is what I needed that moment. With no doubts I can call myself a self-confident girl, that is why I was pretty sure that I will not have problems with striking up a relations with my new classmates. The first day was so common that will not even describe this. Everyone was friendly and and helpful and I exchanged phone numbers and other contact information with a lot of people this day.
When I came home I felt tired, but satisfied with overpast day and started chatting with my new acquaintances. Suddenly, some handsome guy posted me a message not so unusual, but certainly not just polite.
N: ''Where do you live?''
Me: ''Opposite Matthews house. You?''
N: ''Opposite Matthews house.''
Me: ''No way! You are a liar.''
N: ''Wow, that’s heartless, calling me a liar.''
Me: ''Oh, I have a heart. I’m not sure about you though.''
N: '''BRB.''
Two minutes later, my on-door speakerphone rings, and it is him telling me to go outside. I can see him walking up to me. Then he stops near me and pulls out a stethoscope. He puts the earpieces on me and points the listening part to his heart to let me listen to his heartbeats. I listen for a couple of seconds.
N: ''Can you hear it? Do you still think I’m heartless?''
Now we are 18 months together. Studying in the same university and planning our future together. After a while he confessed that he is so glad that his family kept the stethoscope in the car.

The goals of my life.

It is not so easy for me to talk about the purposes of my life, because I am a fickle person and today my opinion may be different from tomorrow one. But anyway I can still try to formulate the main goals.

At first, I want to get at least one humanitarian high education and after that I would like to find an interesting suitable work that just matches special features of mine. Personally I do not want to be famous I just want to figure out who I am and do what I like best and what comes out easily and pleasantly.
Further, I want to bring something into our world. Cause I know that I am not genius and I will not be a an inventor of some useful things and will not develope theories and establish equations such as Albert Einstein. But I guess I can still bring valuable use.
And the last, but not the least thing that I want to be part of is a happy family. I may seem quite idealistic, but I would like respect, understanding and honesty to reign among all the family members.

My findings must be predictable, but that is what I am, and that is what I want.

Arranged marriages. (p. 9 ex. 7)


My attitude to that kind of relationship is quite ambiguous. I am not completely for either against that. I suppose that it depends on persons beliefs and opinions the moment they decide to strike up an arranged relationship or marriage. It often depends on experiences or may be frustrating relations in the past.
At first, I want to mention advantages. If you choose your partner only using your mind, he or she is more likely to be reliable. It is very important especially if you are working together. The second thing is that it is much easier for couple like that to solve their problems. They are not driven by a strong emotions, they always can keep their head cool and get as much benifits as they can from the situation happened.
But unfortunately, when your marriage is arranged, you are certainly deprived that special moments that happen only between loving couple. That all-the-time thinking about your partner, that feelings overfilling your heart and soul. But sometimes relations based on emotions hurt too much. 

So that is for you to decide what kind of sacrifice you want to make material or an emotional one.
