A holiday is just another day off эссе

Some people think that holidays have a special value or meaning, whereas others do not agree. They believe that they are just some days when a person does not have to work.

I think that holidays are special days that are worth celebrating. First of all, they are holidays because something important happened on those days in the past. For example, the Victory Day, 9^th of May. On that day everybody remembers those who died fighting against Nazis. Second, these are the days when you can meet with your friends and have some quality time together. They also give you a feeling that today is a special day, which creates a good mood.

At the same time there are people who think that a holiday is nothing more than a day off. One does not have to go to work or do something that they do not feel like doing.

 Well, these are the days when you do not need to work however, they are more than just that. Those days give people hope if it is the 31^st of December or they remind people about women and how they are important for us if it is the 8^th of March.

In conclusion,I would like to say that holidays are special days that oneshould pay proper attention to. Each of them connects peoplewith a special event from theirhistory. Treating holidaysas just days-off is going to make people’s life boring and bereft of a lot of happy moments. Thus, I strongly believe that all celebrations should be treated with due respect.

In conclusion, I would like to say that there are opposing views on this issue. At first sight holidays seem to be just days off but in actual fact they are special days that connect people with important events from their history. Thus, I strongly believe that holidays should be treated accordingly. 

31. Праздники. За и против

Holidays are an essential part of our culture but not all people
understand the importance of

their celebrations. They consider any celebration as a waste of time.
Are they right?

To my mind, we should celebrate holidays because they help to keep up
our traditions and to

preserve our culture. I also think it is a good chance to bring the
family together and to meet all your friends and relatives. What is more, there
is a special atmosphere behind each holiday and it is a good opportunity to
make people happy. Yet not all people enjoy celebrations. They are not
interested in ancient traditions and think that holidays are just an excuse for
spending money or making it. I do not think they are right because it is very
important that traditions do survive in the country as they help to define who
people are. Of course people spend lots of money on presents. However, it is
not only the present that counts, but also the fact that people greet each
other and share the joy of the day. Personally, I enjoy celebrations. For me, a
holiday is not just a day off but a special occasion and I usually prepare for
it beforehand. I like the spirit of a holiday and always try and keep the
traditions connected with it. To conclude, I want to say that holidays are a
very important part of our lives because they help to bring’ generations
together.

Путешествия расширяют кругозор. Согласны ли вы

Modern life is impossible without travelling. People travel the globe to
see modern cities and

ancient towns, to enjoy picturesque places, or just for a change of
scene. But does travelling really broaden our minds?

On the one hand, it does because when you travel you are exposed to
things which you would

probably never experience if you stayed at home. To begin with,
travelling gives us an opportunity to explore the country and learn about its
customs and traditions. In addition, it is a good chance to try national food
and take part in national festivals. Moreover, travelling is the best way to
practise foreign languages and to make new friends.

However, there are people who travel to ‘all inclusive clubs. It does
not really matter to them

which country they are in as long as they have an opportunity to relax.
They do not bother to practise a foreign language and even if they go on
excursions, they only take pictures and do not get any useful information. In
this case travelling does not broaden their mind. Besides, when people travel
on business, they are usually too concerned about their problems and have
little time to explore the place they travel to.

To sum up, travel can expand people’s outlook if they travel in order to
gain new experiences.

On the contrary, if tourists are too lazy, they will not benefit from
their journeys. So we may say that travel broadens the minds which want to be
broadened.

Работа. Для многих представителей молодежи главное чтобы их будущая работа была
высокооплачиваемая, а некоторым главное самоудовлетворение от работы. Ваше мнение

Nowadays young people have various job opportunities. No wonder that it
is difficult for them

to choose their future occupation. They often have to make a choice between
money and job

satisfaction.I believe that the major concern when choosing a job should
be our interests and talents. To begin with, a future career should fit our
personality; otherwise it is not going to be very fulfilling. Besides, it is
unlikely that a job will’ be done properly unless we are interested in it. Our
attitude will surely have a negative impact. So I think it is better to choose
a profession that suits our interests. It is natural that many teenagers want
to have high salaries to be able to buy everything they want. In their opinion,
the more money they get, the more they will be respected. However, countless
surveys show that money does not necessarily lead to job satisfaction. What is
more, if you only work to earn money, your life will soon become extremely
boring. On the contrary, if you really enjoy your job, you will achieve success
and get the reward and respect that you truly deserve.

In conclusion, I want to stress that while salary is important,
teenagers should not consider

earnings as the primary factor when choosing their future occupation.
Personally, I enjoy travelling therefore I want my career to be connected with
tourism. I cannot say that I am indifferent to money but the most important
thing for me is job satisfaction.

Работа. Должна ли молодежь работать на временной работе. Ваше мнение

Most teenagers today are given some pocket money by their parents.
However, they often feel

this is not enough for their needs. As a result, the question of whether
they should have a part-time job often comes up.In my opinion, young people
should be allowed to work part-time if they want to. First of all, it will give
them a useful introduction to the world of work. By earning money, teens can
learn how a business works from the inside out as well as get some working
experience. Besides, a part-time job will teach teenagers the value of things
and make them more responsible and careful about money. They will understand
that money does not grow on trees, it has to be earned. Finally, having extra
money will make young people more independent of their parents.Many parents say
that teenagers are too young to work and that they should concentrate on their
school work. Although this is true, I think that there are jobs for teenagers
that will not take up too much time or can be done at weekends, for example,
delivering newspapers or babysitting. In addition, young people can ‘ find a
holiday job during the summer and earn money for something special.

In conclusion, I want to stress that teenagers will really benefit from
having a part-time job.

Nevertheless, they should not forget that their main task is to get
education therefore their part-time jobs must not distract them from studying.

Работа на дому. За и против

With recent advances in technology, lots of people have a chance to work
at home instead of

going into the main office every day. This work style is a mixed
blessing, though. On the one hand, if you work from home, you can structure
your day to suit your personal needs. You can work as much, or as little, as
you like and no one will look over your shoulder. Besides, you do not have to
commute long distances to and from work and pay for your travel expenses. What
is more, if you are married, you can spend more time with your kids, playing
with them or training them.

On the other hand, working from home takes a phenomenal amount of
self-discipline to start

work when you know you do not have to be at the office by 9 a.m. In
addition, there is no outside pressure to be busy so you must be entirely
self-motivated. Moreover, there is a danger of putting in too many hours or
overworking because there is no one to tell you that your working day is over.
Finally, you will not be able to communicate with your colleagues so you may
feel cut off from the rest of the world.

To sum up, working from home can be a great solution for certain people.
However, like

everything else in life, this work style has both pros and cons. That is
why everyone should make a choice according to their preferences.

36. Реалити шоу. За и против

Reality shows have become an inalienable part of TV programs. However,
while lots of people

admire them glued to their TV screens, there are more skeptical viewers
who doubt the quality of

these shows.On the one hand, reality TV is great fun and it is one of
the best ways of entertainment, which helps people to unwind after a long day
at school or at work. Another reason for its success is interactivity. Most
people enjoy reality shows because they have an opportunity to participate so
they feel in control of the participants’ destiny. Finally, we can watch how
contestants react under pressure thus imagining how we would behave under the
same circumstances. It can be really instructive.

On the other hand, not all of these programs are made in good taste. It
seems like TV

producers are running but of ideas because all of them are exactly the
same. What is more, many of them are actually a fake because participants are
made to rehearse their performance so we cannot trust them. Finally, people who
win shows like X Factor or Pop Idol are not real celebrities because they
become famous for a little while and then disappear.

In conclusion, I can say that no matter whether we like reality TV or
hate it, it is here to stay

and it reflects our life. Personally, I think it is a good way to relax
and a wonderful opportunity for people to boost their careers.

37. Реклама. За и против

These days we all are exposed to a continuous chain of advertising
messages. Sometimes

advertising may be entertaining and sometimes it may disgust us. But
does it really do anything to us? Can advertising be a positive force in society,
or does it deserve to be avoided?

On the one hand, we cannot imagine our world without any advertising. It
would be

impossible to learn about new products, films or travel options.
Besides, advertisements help people get the best value for their money as they
have access to price information, availability of products, and improvements
being made. On the other hand, clever and informative advertisements help
companies sell their products and develop their business. Many TV companies
also get most of their, money from advertising.

But it cannot be denied that advertising does have its drawbacks. Some
advertisements show

life unrealistically and give untrue information. In adverts all people
seem to be happy consumers, all kids seem to be healthy and well off. But this
is not true at all. In addition, adverts do not talk about products defects.
What is more, advertising increases prices for consumers and put pressure on
them making them buy things they don’t need. I also think that we should not
advertise alcoholic drinks and cigarettes as these products are really harmful.

In conclusion, I’d like to say advertising is very important in our
society nowadays. We need

advertising, but it needs to be done correctly. Otherwise it will mean
annoying consumers and

wasting
money.

Родители дают деньги за хорошие оценки. За и против этого

Many parents see pocket money as a way of encouraging their children to
do well at school. It

cannot be denied that money oils the wheels of the world. But can pocket
money really improve

school performance?

On the one hand, getting pocket money for good school grades teaches
pupils that money

does not grow on trees and develops a sense of how much has to be done
to earn it. Besides,

children become more interested in good results at school and try to
study better. What is more, for many students studying is really hard work so
they consider it fair to be rewarded for their efforts just like adults.

On the other hand, it is normal to expect pupils to do their homework
properly because it is

their duty as are household chores. Another argument against this
practice is that children get upset when they do badly at school not because of
their poor knowledge but because the will get no money. Finally, getting pocket
money may become their main target and students may start cheating so as to get
good grades.

To sum up, I think that this practice has more bad than good sides. That
is why I strongly

believe that parents should not give their children any money in order
to encourage them to study

better. Pupils should be ready to learn for learning’s sake. Of course
they may be rewarded but for extra work, not for their duties.

Семьи с одним ребенком или многодетные. Ваше мнение про семьи с одним ребенком

One-child households have doubled over the last two decades making it
one of the fastest

growing family units in most European countries. But is it really
beneficial to be an only child in a family?

On the one hand, if you are an only child, you don’t have to share your
room with anybody

else. As a result, these children may have friends to stay over on a
regular basis. Besides, they have more privacy and no one disturbs them while
they are studying. What is more, parents give all their love and care to their
only ‘ child. Such children also benefit from having the family financial
resources focused upon them.

On the other hand, if you have a sibling, you have someone to play with
or to talk to, and you’ll

never feel bored or lonely. And if you get into trouble, you have
someone to give you a helping hand or at least some advice. Moreover, children
in large families are usually not overindulged by their parents. Kids learn at
the very early age that the world doesn’t revolve around them and that they
have to share their possessions or wait for their turn.

In conclusion, I want to say that one-child families have their pros and
cons. Personally, I

believe that having a brother or a sister is an amazing feeling, because
no matter what happens in

life, you will not be lonely and you will always have someone to share
your thoughts and feelings.

Смертная казнь — справедливая казнь для убийц. За и против

At one time capital punishment was used in almost every part of the
globe, but over the last

few decades many countries have abolished it. However, many people
consider the death penalty to be the best punishment for murderers.

There are several arguments in favour of capital punishment. First of
all, the death penalty acts

as a deterrent. In other words, people are afraid of committing crimes
as long as the death penalty exists. Besides, the punishment should fit the
crime therefore the appropriate punishment for murder is death. Finally,
capital punishment is truly cost effective when compared with the cost of life
imprisonment.

On the other hand, killing a person is inhumane and society should show
how much it values a

life by never killing anybody, even murderers. A second argument against
capital punishment is that sometimes innocent people are found guilty. If they
are imprisoned, they can be released. This cannot happen if they have already
been executed. What is more, criminals can have different reasons for murder so
it is unjust to apply capital punishment to all murderers.

To sum up, there are several good arguments both to support and oppose
capital punishment.

Although it seems reasonable to apply death penalty to the most violent
criminals, we ought to do it with great caution. I personally believe that
people should focus on the reasons of crimes rather than on their punishment. 

Lots of people enjoy celebrating holidays. However, for some people a holiday is just a day off.

Holidays are the most desirable days of the year for almost all the people.  They are  usually connected with some traditions, which have been passed from generation to generation for many years. Although  for many people a holiday is just a relaxing day, when they can just lie on their beds doing nothing. But why are these days important?
In my opinion, we should respect holiday  traditions. Firstly, we do thus obeisance to out ancestors, who were really devoted to customs and traditions. Secondly, an evening spent together with your close people and relatives gives you a good chance to communicate, share your problems and get some important advice. What is more, the atmosphere  on these days alone can make you happy.
However, some people assume

Holidays have been celebrated for a long time, and a lot of people really enjoy them. However others claim that holidays do not give any satisfaction or excitement and thus consider them to be just days off.

As for me, holidays have a lot of advantages apart from giving the opportunity to rest. Firstly, they help relax and forget problems we face on a daily basis. Secondly, due to holidays we get to know the traditions and customs of our ancestors. Finally, a holiday is a great excuse to spend time with family and friends.

On the other hand, some people think that holidays are useless and are not worth spending time and effort on. In their mind, holidays are just days off because they do not teach us anything and bring neither satisfaction nor fun.

I cannot agree with these people. Those who consider holidays to be useless are simply not interested in history because there are a lot of mysterious and exciting events behind every holiday .

To sum up, I would say that we should never reject celebrating holidays. Apart from making our life more interesting and funny they help maintain strong connections with history.
