The Internet has forever changed the way we live Nowadays, in my opinion no one can deny the importance

of Internet because it is influencing our daily life. Sitting in front of a computer, clicking a mouse three times, we can get access to the information high way, which provides us a lot of valuable source of information and communication. The Internet plays a major role in the life of everyone. It bring people of the world closer together. It makes the world smaller because through the Internet we can communicate with people from all over the world. The Internet can be very useful for finding information for work, school or fun. There are many positive aspects of the Internet because the Internet has helped us a lot in improving our lives. But the Internet may also have major disadvantages. The Internet resources help people get latest news, improve knowledge by providing access online libraries. It is the center of attention for business, governments and individual person around the world. It has spawned entirely, new industries transformed e isting ones and become a global cultural phenomena. !ommunicating through the Internet gives the opportunity to know and other people of another nation and find out their culture to make comparison between regions and even to learn new things form that communicated with. I can assert that the Internet will change our lives in every aspect of life. "ithout a doubt I can say thet the use of the Internet around the world is doubling every months. The Internet is becoming faster all the time and we can already watch video and communicate with each other more easily. I suppose that many people now work at home via the Internet. It has created unlimited new business opportunities. I strongly believe that nowadays more and more pople need to go out and meet other people. #eople from the world use email address instead of writing letters to keep in touch with their friends. The Intenet communicating is very popular among us, the teenagers. "e love to talk to our parents who sometimes are far away from us, or with our dear friends, sending them all sorts of funny pictures, music and movies. But all this can lead to estrangement, lack of real communication, insolation if we use it in e cess. But I have no doubt that the Internet will not change everything in our lives because people need to go out and meet other people. #eople need to draw fresh air because they must to be healthier. I$m afraid I don$t agree reading so much on a computer screen because it is uncomfortable and has negative influence especially on our eyes. That$s why people will never stop wanting to read, listen to music and be entertained in traditional ways. %inally, I$m pretty sure that the importance of Internet will continue to grow. &nd to my mind, life without the Internet would be dull, but we need to live a real life, not a virtual one. I really can say that the Internet has forever changed the way we live.

One of holiday celebrated in Great Britain, Moldova and USA in greater detail
In the world exist many holidays which are celebrated different in every country. Id like to characterize Christmas in three statea from the world as Moldova, Great Britain and !". I choose this holiday because it is one of the most festive holiday in many countries around the world. It is a Christian holiday in memory of #esus Christs birth and most $eo$le celebrate the day on %ecember &' in the Gre(orian calendar, but many )rthodox Christians celebrate Christmas %ay on #anuary * like Moldovans. +here are many ways to celebrate Christmas and $eo$le from different countries blend their cultural traditions with more universal Christmas celebration. ,or Moldova, Great Britain and !" are s$ecific to have decorated Christmas trees, either real or fake. "lthou(h Moldovans usually decorate Christmas trees on -ew .ears /ve, and some call it the -ew .ear tree. +he Christmas trees for British and "mericans or -ew .ear tree for Moldovans are beautifully decorated with colored li(hts, an(els and bri(ht ornaments. In Great Britain in addition on the tree are hun( little $ackets with nuts, candies and s$ecial biscuits. In !" and Great Britain are $resent traditions to decorate the exterior of house with small, bri(ht0colored li(hts. In my o$inion it are lookin( very beautiful and create an wonderful atmos$here. "lso in these three state $eo$le buyin( (ifts to $resent each other and sendin( Christmas cards. Children waitin( to receive (ifts from !anta Claus. In !" and Great Britain he $uts his sweets into the Christmas stokin(s, but in Moldova !anta $uts his (ifts under the Christmas tree. I dont really believe in !anta but I believe thet Christmas is a very unusual holiday when the wonders ha$$en and all dreams may come true. sually children from these states come around in the evenin( to the front doors and start sin(in( carols and the $eo$le livin( in these houses (ive children candies, nuts, $ies and so on, to thank them for carol sin(in(. 1hen the meal is ready the real Christmas comes with the bi( dinner, (ifts, sweets and illumination. Christmas time is the most beautiful time of year, the time of love, 2oy and ho$es. It is a s$ecial holiday for all the $eo$le around the world and it has its traditions which are different or similar.

The way you treat yourself sets the standards for other

Im $retty convinced that treat yourself as you would like others to treat you is one of the most im$ortant thin(s in life. .ou must never for(et that the way you treat yourself sets the standards for other $ersons.

ifferent countries have reputations for being good at different sports! Thin" of so#e e$e#ples

In the world exists many ty$e of s$orts. !ome of these are more interestin( than others for different $eo$le. ,or exam$le, "mericans have re$utations for bein( (ood at baseball, volleyball and basketball. Basketball and volleyball are invented in nited !tates of "merica. In !" are $resented and another ty$es of s$orts near the enumerated s$orts. It can be ex$lained by the size and variety of country. "nother reason of the $o$ularity of s$orts is the $eo$les love of com$etitions of any kind and wishes to have the best re$utations at different s$orts. )ne more reason is that "mericans use s$orts activities for teachin( social values, such as teamwork and s$ortsmanshi$. "ll these ex$lain why "mericans have traditionally done well in many kinds of s$orts, es$ecially at baseball, ice0hockey and others. +he British are (reat lovers of s$orts and they have re$utations for bein( (ood at football, ru(by and tennis. 5rofessional football is a bi( business in Great Britain. 1imbledon is the centre of lawn tennis. ,urthermore /n(lish men $ay much attention to swimmin(, rowin( and walkink.

This is al#ost nothing in your life that is not touched by language

4an(ua(e belon(s to each of us. /veryone uses words. 1hat is it about lan(ua(e that makes $eo$le so curios6 +he answer is that there is almost nothin( in our lives that is not touched by lan(ua(e. 1e live in and by lan(ua(e. "mon( the cultural (oods that $eo$le could create, lan(ua(e occu$ied a $rominent $lace. 4an(ua(e is not only a medium of understandin( between individuals, but serves as a tool of dee$ insi(ht and inter$retation of human life. 4an(ua(e re$resents all verbal ex$ressions which are learned by every community of $eo$le to make understandin( between them. 4an(ua(e is obviously a vital tool. -ot only is it a means of communicatin( thou(hts and ideas, but it for(es friendshi$s, cultural ties, and economic relationshi$s. 4an(ua(e, of course, is knowled(e, and in our world today knowled(e is one of the key factors in com$etitiveness. Brains and knowled(e are what create the $ros$erity and (rowth we tend to take for (ranted. /ven our thou(hts, dreams take birth alon( with the utterance of the words. everythin( is trans$osed on sheets or ex$osed only minutes with the hel$ of words, enunturilor, (enerally with the hel$ of the s$oken lan(ua(e. "nd it is very im$ortant to know to s$eak, combine and make sentences with words. In my vision it is a (ame with word where everyone is a $layer, someone better than another. "nd win the $layer who know to realize a (ood discussion in few minutes. +he lan(ua(e has helm to any destination what you want to achieve, and a bad $layer will :uickly fall out of the field of $lay. 4an(ua(e touchin( any untouched corner from the really life of today. It is the one that follows every movement of every man. It is both in our consciousness when we think without talkin(, and when we relate what we want from this life. I can conclude that lan(ua(e is very necessary $art of our life and we doesnt exist without it. It is all we need to be $resented in the social, cultural, economic and $olitical daily life. 1e must to develo$ it and it will hel$ us to be a $ersonality, a valuable $ersonality in the society.

o you thin" it is a dangerous thing to %udge about a nation by e$isting stereotypes& Use specific reasons and e$a#ples to support your answer!
In my o$inion it is a dan(erous think to 2ud(e about a nation by existin( stereoty$es, because stereoty$es is a fixed idea that is

(enerally held about the characteristics of a $articular ty$e of $erson which are wron(ly believed to be shared by all the $eo$le of that ty$e. Many of this stereoty$es say about $eo$le. ,or exam$le not to 2ud(e the Chinese about their stereoty$es < = "ll Chinese look the same>. +his thin( not true, because everyone Chinese are uni:ue in China. )thers say it because Chinese nation resembles. Many says what< ="ll "rabs are terrorists> which says that all "rabs includin( children are terrorist but this thin( true. +his stereoty$e formed because a (rou$ of terrorist done somethin( wron(. /ven stereoty$es a$$lied to a racial (rou$ become inconsistent when members of that (rou$ are broken down by national ori(in. " case in $oint is that stereoty$es about black "mericans differ from those about blacks from the Caribbean or blacks from "frican nations. !uch discre$ancies indicate that stereoty$es make little sense and arent useful tools by which to 2ud(e others based on 2ust a few as$ects of their identity. -e(ative stereoty$es are a schematic idea of someone. sually they are formed when $eo$le are re:uired it wron(. "udiovisual media often tell us, for exam$le that (y$sies stole him on such and such. %id they steel (y$sies, but only a $erson of 3oma6 )r we camunicated, 3omanians in kraine leadin( ci(arettes. "re all the $eo$le 3omanian trafficked ci(arettes , or border was retained only a 3omanian citizen6 !imilarly, in the mainds of many were roote ne(ative stereoty$es and that #ews are smart, 3ussians 0drunks, kranians 0 stin(y, 4ituanians very slower, Geor(ians ; a((ressive. In the middle of every nation there are $eo$le smart, drunken, (reedy, a((ressive. -ationality not determine these traits or s$ecific human behavior, but education, some $sycholo(ical traits we should not make a wron( $icture well that there is no bush wood forest. "s a conclusion must not 2ud(e about a nation by existin( stereoty$es. ,or my knowled(e stereoty$es doesnt re$resents every $erson from society and so I say that we cant characterize all $eo$le from any country after the dominant characteristic in it.
