Topic 4

        There are a lot of different events in the world. And, you can participate in all of them. First of all, you need to know some information.

        For example, Burning man festival placed in Nevada desert . Festival contains a lot of artworks assembled by "burners"-guys who involved into this fest. Extremely important part of this festival is observance of cleanliness , even giant fire breath dragon would be dismantled on little peaces without harm to the desert.

      Also, you may become an organiser of some event. You can take breathtaking photos of incredible views. People can donate money for your talent. And then you can make a great project of helping poor children and homeless people with donation.

       Moreover, you may participate in ice festivals. For instance, if you can copewith freezing temperatures ans are looking to see some incredible artwork, head for the Fairbanks Ice festival in Alaska, as every year, the world's largest ice art competition.

       If you know where to go, you will have a lot of unforgettable moments!

Dear Madison Sophia Clark,

       I am glad that you are going to have a great time on a DVD night. I thoroughly recommend this film called "The Green Mile". "The Green Mile" is a fantastic film that wad directed by Timofeeva Olga. The film is set in the jale ,where all the prisoners know the day they are going to die, because of what they have done. It's an action-thriller film. Be sure that you are going to cry in the end of the movie.

       The main characters are policemen and  the prisoner called Rene, who have done nothing bad. He wanted to help a girl, but, suddenly she died. So, Rene is suspected as a murderer. The plot is absolutely thrilling and exciting.

       "The Green Mile" is full of powerful actions and the script is very well-written. This film is not one to avoid. Did you watch something about jale? Can you be a guest on my Movie Night tomorrow? What are you going to eat on a DVD night?

       

 Love,

Tanya

Circus job

           Circus job: a good way to earn a living or just an entertainment?

       First of all, circus job is quite complicated and physically tough work. Because you'll need a high standart of ability in at least one circus art. Circus job is not just an entertainment, it's a hard work, but for some people circus job is the way they spend their weekends or just a half of their regular day. Part-time or occasional circus performers may earn between  £ 150   and  £900 a show. That is why it's a perfect way to earn a living. 

       Secondly, when you're working in circus on a part-time job, you have a great opportunity to spend your free time enjoying your family. But on the other hand,you could perform indoors or outdoors. You may spend long periods away from home touring.

       On the other hand, circus job can be very dangerous and you can be in a fearful mess. There are a lot of awful stories from circus, when people died just because of a carelessness. Also, you need to have a lot of skills to join this "entertainment", you need to spend a lot of time training and improving skills and your physical abilities.

       All in all, there are a lot of drawbacks and advantages of a circus job. I strongly believe that if you love your job, then you can combine all advantages (enternainment, earning a living) and ignore drawbacks (be sure that you are responsible for your life).

 Black Rock festival (Nevada) was intended to mark the summer solstice. There is no money in The Black Rock city, so they use "pay-it-forward" system, which means that you can give free food to a stranger in case that he will give you sth back. Festival is about building strange sculptures and burn them, also it's about writing personal notes on the walls. You became a different person after Black Rock Festival.

Breathtaking festivals around the world

1.     Burning Man - Nevada, USA (Last monday of August)

People come together in Nevada's Black Desert to make an art and express themselves. Then they burn their wooden art. You may descrive it as radical self-expression or an burning experiment. It forces you to think that everything is temporary and you should not care so much about bad things in your life. 

2.     Pingxi Lantern Festival - Taiwan. (February)

It's festival that witnesses thousands of sky lanterns light over Pinqxi district in Taiwan. Sky lanterns were used in case to let others know that the city is safe. People decorate latterns with wishes, pictures and letters. Also, It was originally celebrated to ward of evil and disease from the town.

3.     Oktoberfest - Munich, Germany 

Okterberfest is the world's largest beer festival held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. It is a 16-day festival running from late September to the first wekeend in October with more than 6 million people around the world. The event is all about beer, beer and only beer.You will be surrounded by those traditional huge glasses of beer.

4.     The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta

The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is a yearly festival of hot air balloons that takes place in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Usa during early October. The Balloon Fiesta is a nine day event, and has around 750 balloons. The event is the largest hot air balloon festival in the world. Once the balloons are let of, the paint the sky with their vibrant colors and hues making it a beautiful sight to look at.

5.     Holi – India

Holi is a spring festival also known as the festival of colors. It is an ancient Hindu religious festival which starts with a Holika bonfire on the night before Holi where people gather, sing and dance. The next morning is free for all carnival of colors, where everyone plays, chases and colors each other with dry powder and colored water, with some carrying water guns and colored water-filled balloons for their water fight. There are equality in this festival, because everyone can take part in this bright event. Groups carry drums and musical instruments, go from place to place, sing and dance.

I would like to visit all of them, just because when you visit events like this, you feel alive. Moreover, bright moments are unforgettable. Live a life you will remeber. 

Body and soul (Module 3)

        Have you ever thought about treatments in your life? People should choose the right way of living, otherwise, they may struggle with insomnia, stress, anger. That's why I would love to tell you about ways you may treat yourselve and about ways you may solve some of your body and soul's problems.

        First of all, about healthy and stressless lifeway. One of the most famous ways of relaxing is yoga. Also, there are a lot of type of yoga, for example, aerial yoga - yoga in a long silk hammock suspended from the ceiling. You perform various poses sitting, lying or even spinning upside down in the hammock. Furtermore, you may try laughing yoga. It's just a meditation, where you're constantly laughing and smiling. Also, you receive s list of "easy actions for joyful life", including learning new skills, helping neighbours and meditation.

      Secondly, if you want to treat yourself better, you may visit Nature's Spa in New Zeland. It's all about healing wounds and diseases, using nature's waterfalls and green lakes.

        But, what about situation, when you have problems like insomnia and stress? Unfortunately, some people stuggle to cope insomnia, but they get no results. You may visit a hypnotist. It creates a state deep relaxation in which patients are more open to suggestions than they are wide awake. 

        Moreover, one more problem is stress. Stress is the feeling of being under emotional pressure. It can affect how you think and how you feel. One of the best ways to minimise stress is by doing moderate exercise. This way, you should try wacky workout. You will never know the point of your workout, but this physical activity will increase your blood flow and pumps more oxygen arounf the body. Be sure to go outside and make some sweat.

       All in all, you need to treat yourself better and respect yourself. Solving problems is the way you climb to the brightest future.

A report

        The aim of this report is to suggest ways of improving hospitals' conditions for children. In case to protect Welsh young generation and make sure that they are able to cope with any future pressures.

        First of all, I suggest you to find more pleasant and ecofriendly place to build a childrens' hospital in order to make a fully protection from radioactive materials and air pollutions. Therefore you can be allowed to build a hospital in the North Wales, the cleanest place with a great view.

       Although, children always need to have time for walking outside, because it increases  level of health. For this reason, I suggest to check the quality of  Welsh water and air. The Welsh Government monitors levels of pollution, moreover government works with the organisations responsible to comply with the latest European standards. Therefore, I suggest you to watch new from the government. 

      All in all, moving to the new destination, which is truly ecofriendly and peaceful can increase level of recovery.

The government should spend more money on sport equipment

        American male football player Oscar Midlight once said, "The person, who takes part in sports, wins everything."  I believe that taking part in a competitive sport can benefit every teenager. That is why I am sure that the government should spend more money on sport equipment.

        Firstly, sport can be competitive, it leads to incredible results. Competitive sport can benefit a young person physically, emotionally and mentally. Students really enjoy it, because this kind of sport unite students. So, they need some balls and gates.

        Secondly, sport can build character. Moreover, fitness improve health. Without a doubt, these are all very important for a successful life.

        On the other hand, sport equipment may be expensive, that is why some schools have no equipment. And children have to change the way they participating in  sports.

        All in all, every teenager want to be fit and healthy, so school need to follow this incredible goals.

People should not be allowed to keep exotic pets

          I believe that keeping pets is very useful, because pets become your friends and sometimes, your family. Anyway, I am sure that people should not be allowed to keep exotic pets.
          First of all, some exotic pets are dangerous. Moreover, some exotic pets can cause terrifying diseases, such as salmonellosis. For instance, exotic snake from Brazil can bite you once and then you will be dead immideately.
          Secondly, it is a stress for pets. Your lovely exotic pet can die because of heart attack or because of lack of sunlight. A lot of reasons to be stressed out for exotic pets. These animals used to live in different environment.
          On the other hand, keeping exotic pets is alternative lifestyle. It makes you special. Some people adore to be special, that's the only purpose for them to keep exotic pets.
          In conclusion, can it be useful or harmful depends on you. If you're ready to meet these problems, you're free to keep anything you want.

Extreme facts

            I am glad to see you in my own shop called "Extremely great experience". I can suggest you a lot of new things and new exciting trips. First of all, imagine that you're at a restaurant and there's fantastic aroma coming from the kitchen. It is a huge platter of fried tarantulas and a bowl of grasshopper tacos. Insects taste incredible, you should try it. Secondly, did you see our own TARDIS? You may buy it, and then you'll be able to travel back to a point in time from when the machine was switched on. It can be risky, but you can break the illusion that time machine is just a science fiction.

           I recognized that you're not into these things, but I would like to tell you about some extreme locations, such as Louisiana, USA. It is a difficult place to live. You are surrounded by snakes, frogs, turtle and wild alligators - all 1.5 million of them! That is why it's very popular being an alligator hunter. I can offer a tour with Troy Laundry for you. Troy once caught 82 alligators in one day! As well as you may be a hunter, you can be the shark whisperer. If you know how to deal with sharks, then you can try to earn money on your hobby. For instance, Stuart Cove charges around $10000 for two days shooting with a tiger shark for movies such as James Bond. The secret is just to keep calm and work with sharks if they are half asleep.

           Finally, I would love to tell you about the best tour our company has. In Mexico placed very dangerous and curious place called "giant crystal cave". This giant and hot as hell place is filled by giant crystals .This place named "deadliest place on earth" because of extremely high temperature.

           All In all, our company can help you increase level of adrenaline in your blood. Which tour do you want to reserve?

All young people should take part in sport

                  Michael Jordan once said, "Never say never because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion". This famous sportsman is the shining example for young generation. That is why, I strongly believe that all young people should take part in sport.

         To begin with, scientists proved that exercices physically remodels our brain for peak performance. Sports can help you beat stress, lift your mood and fight memory loss. Moreover, Just a simple morning run can improve your brain structure and increase cognitive abilities. 

         Secondly, without a doubt, competing in sports can build character and skills. It is very important for a succesful life. 

         On the other hand, some sports involve high risk. Most extreme sports are very dangerous. For instance, parachuting. Parachuting can lead to serious injury or even death.

         All in all, young people need to be healthy and fit, because they are our hope for the future. But they need to choose sport carefully. It seems to me that taking part in sport can lead to great results in education and even in health.

                                                                                                         12 October 2016

Dear Ben,

               Thanks for your letter.   I am glad that you moved, because you will have a lot of new opportunities. First of all, you are very communicative person, that is why you will find new friends immidiately. Secondly, new school means fresh ways of teaching. All in all, you may visit your old school every weekend.

               My favorite part in my school is teachers. Every teacher has own opinion, that is why  I learn topics in different ways. I have a lot of friends in my school. In our free time we  work within international projects. Have you ever worked within the project with your friends? Do you enjoy doing your homework?

Yours,

 Tanya

Alternative Lifestyle

             21st century is a mix of alternative lifestyles. Lifestyles are divided for ancient lifeway and modern lifeway. Shining example for ancient lifestyle is Tuareg of the Sahara.  In the past "Blue men of the Sahara" protected the camel trading caravans crossing the Sahara  Desert, but now Tuaregs mostly work as livestock herders. In the opposite way you may know about The sea Gypsies. Settling in temporary stilt huts only during monsoon season, they live half of their lifes in hand-built boats with nets and spears to catch fish to eat and sell. Tuaregs and Sea Gypsies know about modern lifestyles, but they are fully satisfied with their simple life. But some people don't know about new technologies. For instance, Tribe of Papua New Guinea. The head of this tribe joined an experiment to observe how tribes were adapting to the modern world. As a result, stone age people had met everything new with terror.

             What about modern lifestyles?

             One of the most famous way of life is being vegetarian or vegan, but we can't forget about freegans. Freeganism - is a movement whose devotees take responsibility for the impact of their choices and find alternative ways of meeting their everyday needs. Freegans are not homeless, but they scavenge in bins for discarded food. But there is new way of life even for homeless people. More than a hundred homeless people live at Heathrow airport. They dress like tourists in order to give the impression that they are flying to a sunny destination. Also, 21st century is full of "sharing neighbourhoods". It means that all the people in your neighbourhood can share anything inside their neighbourship. For instance, they can share garden, they can share cars, they may swap or give away reusable stuff. And that's great, because it makes you a part of big family, called neighbourhood.

A lot of new lifestyles become popular these days. That is why, you shouldn't be surprised when you see good-looking man in the black suit searching for the food in the bin, it is just his lifestyle.

A letter to her

Dear Madison Sophia Clark,

      I am so glad to hear from you! What's your new flat like? I am so happy that you like it.

      My family has our own house near the city. I adore to spend time  there, because it's always quiet and peaceful, that is why I like my neighbourhood. My neighbourhood called "Triphonovo".

      However, I would rather live in a big city, where I can have a lot of opportunities to communicate with people. I really enjoy looking through the window and staring at skyscrapers. Do you like to live in skyscrapers? Have you ever lived in the village? I was living in the village for a year. It was boring.

Write back soon.

Love, Tanya.

Pros and cons of living in the city center

        These days, it is very difficult for people to find a flat or a house to live in the center of the city, but is this always a good idea?

        Undoubtedly, living in the center has several clear advantages. One of the main benefits is that people never get bored, because it is close to entertainment such as shops, restaurants and the theatres. Moreover, all events always start in the city center. Also, it can be easier to find a job in a big city, because many big companies have their offices in the city center.

       On the other hand, streets are full of people, that is why there are often traffic jams.  Public transport is always busy. In addition, homes often small and cramped. 

      All in all, even though city centres can be dirty, chaotic places, many people prefer to live in them. I am an exception, because I prefer to live in the quiet and peaceful places. After all, doesn't it depend on a personal needs and preferences?

How to be good at English

        If you're struggling with English, you're not alone. Many students hate English classes just because they can't understand this language. In my opinion, English language is not hard to learn as a second language. My experience is quite good,that is why I would like to give you some tips and tricks.

         Firstly, if you want to know how to write correctly and how to deal with grammar mistakes, you need to read more. You need surround yourself with words. Reading lots of different books will not only improve your vocabulary, but it will help you with spelling.

         Secondly, ask questions and ask your teacher to repeat something will not only make you a better listener, but it will also answer your questions. Moreover, try to sit near the front all the time and ask questions with good vocabulary.

         All in all, you need to revise,revise,revise. Good writing means good editing. Editing happens, when you improve a piece of writing by transforming sentences.

        Furthermore, to stay a responsible student, you should not miss lessons or pass notes. Also, you should not be lazy, just because lazy person can't be successful at English!

Good luck on your way of learning!

New challenge

     There are people and people in the place where I live. Have you ever thought about what your city of town  is famous for? I feel sure that my city famous for rare natural disaster such as meteorite, when the ground beneath my feet is shaking and there is a deafening roar like a plane take off. Everyone in city had no idea that it was meteorite, also they had no idea that city would have to make an incredible sacrifice to make recovering of the motherland.
   
       Not only in my city was the day when the Earth moved. The most powerful earthquake in 21 century was in Japan. It was on 11th March,2011. The force of the earthquake, the most powerful in Japan's  history, triggered a devastating tsunami. The impact of the water often destroys everything in its path. 
   
       But in my beautiful city near Ural mounatins, awful meteorite caused little earthquake. One of the pieces of  "City's Meteorite" is exhibit in the museum of local lore (Che, Russia). Moreover museum of local lore is my favorite place to stay in my city.
   
       I really want to stay in city for a while (till the end of my studying in school) ,where the meteorite had fallen, just because it is an unforgettable story of my life in the place where I live.

Breaking news!

                Do you know that day by day people destroy eco-balance, but they can't imagine their lifes without modern technologies such as cars or factories. As a result sometimes we must struggle to cope natural disasters.

               For example volcanic eruptions. Just imagine this disaster. Ash and gas fly up into the atmosphere. Rocks and lava erupt out of the crater. Lava pushes through vents in the side of the volcano.

              One more awful disaster is earthquake. The most powerful earthquake in 21 century was in Japan. It was on 11th March,2011. The force of the earthquake, the most powerful in Japan's  history, triggered a devastating tsunami. The impact of the water often destroys everything in its path.

Furthermore, there is one more example. Hurricanes are also devastating. Residents of the city of New Orleans had no idea that within  days, 80% of their city would be underwater in one of the worst disasters in US history.

              But more and more people use to cope  these eco-problems. Like Martin Rietze. When volcano erupts, most people want to get as far away as possible, as quickly as they can! Martin on the other hand, grabs his camera and tries to get as close as he can and stay alive at the same time!

In conclusion I want to tell you that people can hope that nothing like this will ever happen in their lives and try to become more eco-friendly.

Sometimes you can meet aggresive people

             Sometimes you can meet aggresive people or inadequate guys or girls. And that's is why you need to know how to deal with difficult people. 

             For example: gossips. The gossip might seem harmless, but when they're talking about you, it can be extremely upsetting and embarrassing. My tip is to avoid getting involved. Gossip usually dies down quickly when no one wants to listen or contribute. 

             Gossips are very dangerous just because they can hurt you and you will think that you're not good enough. To avoid this situation you need to stop worry about the way you look and learn to accept yourself as you are. If you feel good about yourself, the chances are other people will feel good about you too!

             Sometimes it's hard to accept yourself. But it will be easier when you will be able to distinguish between lies and the truth. Here is the  way to distinguish this. It is often said that liars are unable to look you straight in the eye, that is why you need to be suspicious about what they are telling you. Moreover, most liars will have a telltale sigh on their face such as going as white as a sheet or the exact opposite - blushing. This is natural body talk.

             Amusingly that not just people can give a signs, animals also have natural animal talk. Foe example, dolphins communcate with whistles, clicks and other sounds. Gorrilas stick out their tongues to show anger, dogs stretch their front legs out in front of them and lower their bodies when they want to play.

There are lots of signs, you just need to know how to catch them.

Learning does not stop and start at the classroom door

                Learning does not stop and start at the classroom door. There are lots of creative tricks and unbelievable ways to keep your knowledge in top form! That is why I want to tell you about these ways.

           If you want to get knowledge about yourself you and your soul, you need to go to the famous Shaolin Temple. "The monks constantly told that we would build character and learn humility through hardship and discipline and that's exactly what I experienced." said Joseph Barnes, the man who wanted to challenge himself.

           What about scientific knowledge? My answer is Khan Academy. Salman Khan makes lectures on YouTube. In each video he explains a principle of a subject ranging from science and biology to history and economics. He makes a complicated topic entertaining and easy to understand through his informal chatty style.

            If you're smart enough, you can try to show yourself to the world. One of the ways to do it is win The Duke of Edinburgh's award. Participants can proogress through three levels of the D of E, the bronze, the silver and the gold. It's definetely not easy to achieve any of these awards. Second way to show yourself is to become an inventor and help the world. Shining example is William Kamkuamba, who built a windmill in his town and helped people. At the moment William is studying at a foreign university. 

          So, now you can realze that life is learning. The most important part of learning is your memory. I can give you pieces of advice.

• You can start thinking in pictures

• You can make word association

• You can use visualisation technigue called "loci"

Good luck on your way of learning! Thank you.

An Article describing a person (Miss Oksana)

              Miss Oksana is my teacher. She is science teacher. She started teach me 2 years ago.
               Miss Oksana is in her early thirties and attractive. She's tall and she has a brown eyes that sparkle when she laughs. She often wears her hair in a ponytail. She also has a great sense of style and always look well-dressed, whether it's in a school dress or an evening finery.
              My teacher has an incredible personality. She is both cheerful and considerate. However, she is sometimes stubborn.  She speaks in a loud voice and she constantly uses her hands when she speaks.
             Science teacher is a greatly ambitious person. She has achieved her goal of working in school "7 keys" and she is highly repected as a head teacher. She is very dedicated to her job and often works late. Despite this, she always has time for other people (if it's not an accreditation time :). She never refuses to help if there is a problem with information about  Chemistry or Biology.
             All in all, Miss Oksana is an enthusiastic teacher. I really like her as a teacher, just because she explains information in a great way. I'm sure I can know everything well because of her.

A fascinating topic with Dr. Tom Baker! (Listening; Homework)

                       A fascinating topic with Dr. Tom Baker!                                                     (Listening;Homework)

•            Welcome to the show and today our guest is Dr. Tom Baker author of “Lifelong Learning” and new book which is go to a lot of people talking. So tell us a bit about a book.
•                Well, basically it is about how and when we acquire different skills in life. I discussed the skills we develop throughout our lives and how learning is a lifelong process and not just something we do between the ages of 5-18, when we receive our formal education. 
•                  I see, what sort of skills do you mean? 
•               Well, we all need wide range of skills in order to succeed in life, for example we need to learn cognitive skills to be able to develop our concentration and memory and learn how to think, so how we can begin problem solving. We also need perceptual skills, so we can interpret and present information and social skills in order to be able to relate well to other people. Then, There are all sorts of skills sub skills such as creative thinking and decision making, not to mention practical skills and work related skills.
•                         So, how, when and where do we learn these skills?
•             A lot of these skills we learn naturally from being in different social situations and environments. We literally pick them up without realizing. However, others we have to work hard to acquire.
•              I see.
•                         Cognitive skill development, for example, begins naturally in infancy, that is primarily encouraged by parents and family , but it is further developed the nursery school by caregivers with educational toys and games. And then, when we go to school or college, university and beyond, we develop these skills further.
•                        So, educational institutions robustly very important then.
•           Of course, everyone should receive an education that helps them develop important skills such as independent fault and judgement . They also need to be able to make their own decisions, solving their problems and show their own responsibilities. Teachers, parents and caregivers can help children to grow up with the personal resources and intellection tools they need to understand the world and behave this responsible of human being.
•                       We are learning   all the time from all sorts of different influences.
•                        Specifically?
•                       Well, we develop social skills and interacting with peers, joining social groups, making friends at school, meeting and working with colleagues in the workplace and so on. 
•                        In truth we never stop learning and understanding can be developed and improved by all kinds of human experiences. Take traveling for example ,many teenagers take a gap year between Union starting work to travel and have varied and interesting experience. Other people retire somewhere warm and find themselves learning new language in a lately years.
•                       Okay, but what about people how don’t do well in school, don’t go to university, have a boring repetitive job and don’t have the opportunity to go abroad. What opportunities do they have to learn?
•                       Well, we all have free time all leisure activities are important learning opportunities. We can learn physical skills and artistic skills ,and practical skills at any age from the different activities we do in our free time. Most people these days have a computer and everyone can develop their IT skills and open themselves to the internet which is a huge source of information for people who want to learn anything and everything. 
•                       That’s fair enough, but what about absolutely sloth, who does nothing in their free time, except flop down in front the TV?
•                        Hah, they can learn from the TV and radio programs, magazines, newspapers and so on. They can learn to filter and organize information, so, they find what is interesting to them among the visual and audio messages. 
•           Okay now I happen to think that the most important life skills of common sense and good judgment but these are not taught in school ,or anyway, How can someone develop these skills? 
•                       Well, these are more or less innate skills that we pick up by going through different life experience, basically learning by our mistakes so better still by the watching others mistakes and not making the same ones. 
•                       Hahah, well, it’s a fascinating topic, but I’m afraid we are out of time. “Lifelong Learning” is available now from all reading retailers. Thank you so much for coming!

Online practice. Is it good?!

                           Online practice. Is it good?!

                The number of online platforms for practising is constantly increasing. In my opinion, this way of learning is the best way for practice. Also online resourses can help you to get knowledge.
                For example Khan Academy, this platform is collection of videos. Videos are lectures for ten minutes or a little bit more. The creator of Khan Academy (Salman Khan) explains a principle of a subject ranging from Maths, Chemistry and Economics to History and Biology.
                Firstly, I am sure that after a school day and after lessons which are full of theory online practice is the best way to refresh  all the course material that has been learnt. Moreover, student can practise during the game.
               Secondly, if you're busy on your job, you can increase your level of knowledge by online platforms. You can train your brain at home! What can be better?
               Some teachers don't agree with this way of learning, they think that this system can be counterproductive.
               All in all, I think that this way of practice will evolve with a great speed in the future!

Topic 4. Still a mystery.

                                       Still a mystery.

                 More than a half of the world is still a mystery. I would love to tell you about some mysterious events and strange creatures. First of all, about UFO, just because UFO is the first idea when you think about the mystery. Thousands witness strange lights over Phoenix, Arizona. Strange wreckage and alien bodies examined at the Roswell Army Base. Everything is a big secret. On the other hand, Stephen Hawking feels sure that we are not alone in the universe. He is pretty famous in physics as a scientist.

             Moreover, I can tell you about Big Foot and prehistoric animal such as dinosaur. What can I tell you about Big Foot? 80% of all accounts are ordinary animals - a few fakes, a few hoaxes. But it's that 20% of unknowns that keep cryptologists going. They want to know the truth.
A few words about dinosaur. Scientists found the Dinosaurs' DNA in bones a few years ago. That is why there is now nothing to stop us bringing back dinosaurs, whether is it a good idea or  not is another question.

             One more mysterious place is Laos, where the fireballs are shooting up. The first part of believers think that the fireballs are a breath of Naga, a mythical snake in the river. The second part of believers think that this is a natural phenomenon caused by methane gas bubbles. The world is full of secrets. But you can choose side of science or side of legends.

Introduction to nouns

                                   Introduction to nouns 

Of all the parts of speech, nouns are perhaps the most important. If you try to figure out what the noun is, you need to ask yourself:

• is it a person?
• is it a place?
• is it a thing?
• is it an idea?

 Linguistically, a noun is a member of a large, open part of speech whose members can occur as the main word in the subject of a clause, the object of a verb, or the object of a preposition.

For example: you can see the picture of Flash.

This is Flash (noun, person)

He is a superhero (noun, thing or a person)

He is from USA (noun,place)

He has big dreams and goals (nouns, ideas)

What does it mean “Doing the right thing?” Topic 3

               What does it mean “Doing the right thing?”

                                                             Topic  3

        There are many ways of solving the world issues/problems. Such as recycle old materials, help the elderly, donate money to charities. Now our world is calling to make donations to a charity. You can donate money to the homeless people. Sam Browne felt sure that this is important, because he participated in the project, where he became homeless for a day. That day taught him how much homeless need our help. People need to understand needy people, for example Mitch McGregor, he spent summer helping poor kids to get an education. He learnt that no matter how bad conditionals are, there is always hope future. Many people understand all importance of charities, that is why in the world a lot of organizations or brave people, who are doing something for charities. For example Glastonbury Festival. It’s about promoting green issues, humanitarianism, and freedom of expression during musical performances. What about brave people? Ed Stafford became the first man in history, who walked entire length of the Amazon river for the charity (against deforestation)! How can we help to fight deforestation?

• ·        Recycle paper
• ·        Support charities
• ·        Take part in tree-planting days.

As a result, I feel sure that we need to help protect the environment. Thank you.
