Studying History

Nowadays some people say that the study of history is largely a

waste of time as it prevents us from challenges of current life.

      Should we study history or should not? Some people consider the

study of history is a sheer waste of time, while others totally disagree

with that.

     In my view, learning history is far preferable to not learning. It offers a

wide range of benefits for us. To begin with, the process of history is

all about reasons and consequences. Studying this structure makes

us think logically. It is an important skill for life in general. What is

more, the study of history broadens our minds. By studying history

we will encounter customs, traditions, household of the people of all

walks of life in any century, we will get acquainted with political

systems too. Furthermore, the question of being well-educated is

partly based on your knowledge in history. One needs to know

history not to be considered as a fool, a simpleton.

      However, there are people who oppose this opinion. They say that

since it is past, it does not matter at all. In their opinion, modern

society is too different from the previous one. Besides, they say the

speed of modern life is too fast to learn something about the past, the

history.

      But what they forgot about is that some bases and rules exist for

ages. So they are not right at all.

      In conclusion, I strongly believe that knowledge of history is a matter

of vital importance for all of us. Everybody should study the history.

Eating out VS home meal

Some people prefer to eat out. However. many people still like to cook meals at home What is your opinion about having meals at home?       Nowadays eating out is becoming much more popular than earlier. So, some people like to eating out: in restaurants, in cafe for example and do not less their time for cooking, but others prefer to eat at home. Who is right?       To my mind, it is nothing better than eating at home. So, I do not support people who likes to eat out. I think, home meals is healthier and you should not care about freshness of your products. Also, meals from restaurants are not always tasty. You can make tasty food at home and spend less money.       But others people often think eating out is more practical. They argue that we are living in new era: 21th century. It is time of development science and technologies,and the time where career stand on the first place, thats why we do not have enouth time for cooking. If you eat out you do not waste time for cooking, it is fast. You only have to order some meals.       But I do not agree and wait some minutes. It is convenient with these position and think that it is better to spend some time in the kitchen, but to be sure that you eat quality food.       I prefer to eat at home because, to my mind, home meals are tastier and healthier. But it is only my opinion, and everybody decided what

to eat and chosing their way of life.

Teenagers' Behaviour

Some people believe that teenagers today are rude, lazy and

badly behaved. Other people,however, think that teenagers have

a bad reputation for no reason.

      Nowadays there are so many teenagers, who are very impolite,

naughty, but most of them are very outgoing, hardworking and

purposeful.

      In my opinion, teenagers are not very rude, evil and lazy; they have a

bad reputation for no reason. Firstly, a lot of teenagers attain

success; they enter universities and have got well-paid jobs. And it

proves that they are not lazy. Secondly, now teenagers create social

advertisements, where they ask people to save their lives and give

up bad habits. Thirdly, they help adults and children who need help,

such as, the sick and the disabled. Now a lot of charity organization,

where teenagers work there as volunteers.

      However, there are some people, who believe, that teenagers are

generally rude, lazy and badly behaved. They think so, because they

notice only bad features in them. For example, they think that all

teenagers smoke and take drugs. I do not agree with them: firstly,

none of teenagers in my school smoke or take drugs; secondly, I am

sure that modern teenagers lead healthy lifestyle.

      To sum up, I think that teenagers are very good, kind and

sympathetic. The main thing for them is kindness to people. I hope

that there will be more people, who will believe in them and will

understand that teenagers are the modern generation, which

continues the way to the future.

FLL (Foreign Language Learning)

Some people think that you can master the language only if you study it abroad, in the native speaking environment.      Nowadays many people believe a foreign language can be studied independently (on one’s own) and it is not necessary to live abroad, but others totally disagree with this point of view and I can understand them.      In my opinion, a language can be completely mastered if you only have lived abroad. First of all, if a person is going to study a language abroad, he/she will learn it much faster, communicating with native speakers. Secondly, life in another country gives a chance to immerse in traditions, history and habits of another country and to understand better their way of life. Finally, life abroad allows people to communicate with the natives and understand their pronunciation.      On the other hand, a number of people argue that studying abroad is a waste of time and money and it is not worth going there. Besides, they claim people should find a good teacher and learn a language with him/her.       I do not consider these arguments really crucial because people will never gain a language experience in their own country. A person, who really wants to know a language and understand it on a perfect level, will never regret spending money or time on his/her hobby.      In conclusion, I am totally sure that the best way of learning a foreign language is to live abroad and communicate with native speakers.
