Comment on the following statement:
21. The Internet is the biggest evil of our time
1. Nowadays sewing or knitting clothes at home is a
subject of a lot of discussions. While some people say that it is a waste of
time others believe this to be a good thing.
2. Nowadays new technologies play an important role in
our life. They make us change our behaviour, wishes and habits. Thus, some like
to keep their photos in albums while others prefer to store photographs in
their computers. Which is better?
3. People have been visiting public libraries since time
immemorial. Nevertheless, some people suggest that public libraries are
becoming less popular.
4. Almost every city nowadays is constantly changing as
new constructions appear. Some people think that old buildings should be replaced
by modern ones, whereas others believe that it is better to preserve old
houses.
5. The problem of protecting the environment has always
been controversial. Some people believe that it is the responsibility of all
the human beings. While others consider the role of government to be more
important.
6. The problem of
what influences people’s mentality the most has recently been the subject of a
heated debate. Some people support the idea that it is mass media which has the
greatest impact on our mentality while others find that there are other things
that shape our way of thinking.
7. It is a well- known fact that in choosing our future
career we always take salary into consideration. Some people think that a high
salary is just a pleasant bonus to their great profession. At the same time
other people are interested just in good salary and different financial
rewards.

Academic obligations sometimes
have to take priority.
This is especially evident during exam periods. So, how can you keep up with your
language learning during this time? Well, one way is to incorporate
language learning into your existing workload. Studying the history
of the Russian Empire for example? Try learning the names of all those events in
your target language. Getting
caught up in your chemistry homework? How about jotting down the
names of standard lab equipment in the language you
are trying to learn?
The
possibilities for incorporating your
target language into your existing academic commitments are almost endless. But the benefits don’t
end with improved language
acquisition. By combining
your “regular” studies with language learning you ‘re finding
new and interesting ways to retain information, thus benefitting both obligations
with very minimal extra effort.

Introduction:
Some people support the idea that it’s impossible to make time for language learning within final academic year while others think that you can successfully blend language learning with your other commitments.
Conclusion:
To conclude, although some people find it impossible to keep up with language learning during last year at school I still think there are many possibilities for incorporating your target language into your academic commitments. What is more, benefits don’t end with improved language acquisition. By combining your regular studies with language learning you’re finding new and interesting ways to retain information, thus benefitting both obligations with very minimal extra effort.
Some people support the
idea that it’s impossible to make time for language learning within final
academic year while others think that you can successfully blend language
learning with your other commitments.
In my opinion for those
who wants to learn a foreign language for some reasons a lack of time just
maintains their language learning enthusiasm. As for me I find ways how to
icorporate language learning into my existing workload. While studying the
history of the Russian Empire for example I try learning the names of all those
events in my target language. When getting caught up in my chemistry homework I
jot down the names of standard lab equipment in the language I am trying to
learn. Indeed the possibilities for incorporating your target language into
your academic commitments are almost endless.
However there are opponents of this view who
believe that academic obligations have to take priority during your final year
at school. And it’s hardly possible to keep up with your language learning.
They also state that students often
experience tremendous amounts of pressure and language learning can seem
like just one more nagging commitment. Perhaps even one that can be ignored.
Nevertheless I can’t agree with this point of view because if you want to use perfectly
constructed language then you should constantly improve your language skills.
To conclude, although some people find it
impossible to keep up with language learning during last year at school I still
think there are many possibilities for incorporating your target language into
your academic commitments. What is more, benefits don’t end with improved
language acquisition. By combining your regular studies with language learning
you’re finding new and interesting ways to retain information, thus benefitting
both obligations with very minimal extra effort.

Nowadays, the
question of how effective computers are
for studies appears to be extremely controversial. Some people
believe that computers help us in the process of education, others think that
they only disturb pupils. I would like to express my opinion on this problem.
To my mind,
there are several reasons to consider that we cannot study effectively without
a computer. First of all, it has lots of functions which improve the process of
education. We can find information, write articles, calculate numbers and so
on. It takes us less time than we do it without a computer. Moreover,
computers have become smaller in size and weight so we can take a device with
us wherever we go and continue the process of education in a comfortable
atmosphere that helps to perceive information.
Nevertheless,
some people are convinced that pupils who study with computers spend excessively
much time on surfing the internet. They say that pupils often pay attention to
useless information such as ads and news instead of working hard.
I cannot agree
with this opinion. I insist that we need to relax sometimes and it is
not bad that we can entertain ourselves… too.
In conclusion, I
want to say that there are several thoughts on this issue.
Personally, I deem it wise to use computers to study effectively as it
gives lots of opportunities to find information I need.
More and more celebrities are having cosmetic

Some parents pay for daughters
to have eye operation when they finish school.
Some
parents don’t want their children to have surgery.
Cosmetic surgery can make you feel good about
yourself.
Having cosmetic operation is perfectly normal.
Do you want your eyes to look bigger?
Do you consider cosmetic surgery?
Do your parents want you to have cosmetic surgery?
What do you treat as more important: appearance
or personality?
Some people support the idea that appearance is more important than
personality, while others treat appearance as less important.
Personally I take personality more seriously. Firstly, I enjoy talking to interesting people. Secondly, some people who have done something special for others don't look very beautiful for example Chulpan Hamatova. Finally, skinny models are not always clever.
However, there are opponents of this view who prefer appearance to personality. They state that perfect teeth and a sexy body are more important than a good character.
Nevertheless, I am convinced that a lively personality it is one of the most important things which I'm looking for in people around me. This makes a soul beautiful and attracts my attention. Moreover, many young girls who started reading glossy magazines and looking at photos of slender models and film stars all the time spring into dieting and become really ill. As usual, they end in anorexia. It's terrible!
In conclusion I would like to say that although some people find that appearance is more important than personality I take personality more seriously.
