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 we 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.
Most of people live virtual life even more than the real one. People meet
one another in the Internet, fall in love and even love. They dont need our
appearance, they love we as we are, our thoughts and manners. We can find
virtual true friends in the Internet world. We can tell him or her all secrets we
have and they will not gossip or laugh at you.
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 existing ones and become a global
cultural phenomena. Communicating 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.
Without 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.
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. People need to draw
fresh air because they must to be healthier. Im afraid I dont agree reading so
much on a computer screen because it is uncomfortable and has negative
influence especially on our eyes. Thats why people will never stop wanting to
read, listen to music and be entertained in traditional ways.
Finally, Im pretty sure that the importance of Internet will continue to
grow. And 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 USA. 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 Jesus Christs birth and most people celebrate the day
on December 25 in the Gregorian calendar, but many Orthodox Christians
celebrate Christmas Day on January 7 like Moldovans.
There are many ways to celebrate Christmas and people from different
countries blend their cultural traditions with more universal Christmas
celebration.
For Moldova, Great Britain and USA are specific to have decorated
Christmas trees, either real or fake. Although Moldovans usually decorate
Christmas trees on New Years Eve, and some call it the New Year tree. The
Christmas trees for British and Americans or New Year tree for Moldovans are
beautifully decorated with colored lights, angels and bright ornaments. In
Great Britain in addition on the tree are hung little packets with nuts, candies
and special biscuits.
In USA and Great Britain are present traditions to decorate the exterior of
house with small, bright-colored lights. In my opinion it are looking very
beautiful and create an wonderful atmosphere.
Also in these three state people buying gifts to present each other and
sending Christmas cards. Children waiting to receive gifts from Santa Claus.
In USA and Great Britain he puts his sweets into the Christmas stokings, but
in Moldova Santa puts his gifts under the Christmas tree. I dont really believe
in Santa but I believe thet Christmas is a very unusual holiday when the
wonders happen and all dreams may come true.
Usually children from these states come around in the evening to the front
doors and start singing carols and the people living in these houses give
children candies, nuts, pies and so on, to thank them for carol singing.
When the meal is ready the real Christmas comes with the big dinner, gifts,
sweets and illumination.
Christmas time is the most beautiful time of year, the time of love, joy and
hopes. It is a special holiday for all the people around the world and it has its
traditions which are different or similar.

The way you treat yourself sets the standards for other

Feelings are different. We know how to feel and how to behave, but we
dont know exactly how to express it. If you allow for subpar standards in
your life, do not shrink or get aggravated when people treat you in a subpar
manner. Many of us dont recognize exactly how much greatness that we
actually have on the inside of ourselves, and too many times we get caught up
in trying to please everyone by telling ourselves no, thet we start to lose
ourselves and end up frustrated in the end.
Respect is an word ehich you dont use and dont hear every day, but you
know that you have right to be respected as a personality. And if you treat
yourself with respect the others will treat you with that same respect. If you
have low esteem, you shouldnt expect others to think highly of you. You can
become an even more excellent person by constantly setting higher and higher
standard for yourself. And then by doing everything possible to live up to
those standards.
Instead of treating yourself poorly, and not taking the care that you need to
take in your life, including thing like the continual education, and
development of your spiritual and phycal body, treat yourself like you want
others treat you. No one who are treating you better than yourself. You are the
person that what you need, what you want and how to behave with your own
person. It is indispensable to treat yourself as well you can.
Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love
yourself to get anything done in this world. Plant your own flower, decorate
your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring your flowers.
Im pretty convinced that treat yourself as you would like others to treat
you is one of the most important things in life. You must never forget that the
way you treat yourself sets the standards for other persons.
Happiness is a value worth pursuing

Most of us want to be happy. But what is happiness? Is it something that


you feel at a fleeting moment or does it has to last certain amount of time
before it can officially be called as happiness? While the thought of blazing
through the sky after jumping out of a plane may spell utter bliss for some,
others may shiver at the mere mention of it. What one person defines as
something that keeps them smiling may be just the thing that makes another
person miserable.
Experts say that happiness is an emotion, and just like any emotion, it
comes and goes. Also like any emotion, some people simply seem to
experience it more than others. It is even believed by some that the everyone
has a happiness baseline. If this is true, then no matter what happiness in our
life, we will always return to our original level of happiness after a certain
amount of time. So our life is like a value of pursuing the feelings of
happiness.
Of course, there are many other things that can contribute to our happiness
other than those listed above. Although this may come as a surprise to many,
money does not account for much when it comes to happiness. Once people
accumulate wealth, they are not any more satisfied with their than those who
can only afford to meet their most basic needs.
In the search of happiness, we often look to others to make us happy. Then
when we find ourselves anything less that pleased, we play the blame game
and hold them responsible for the cause of our feelings. However, only we can
be held accountable for our own happiness because only we have the power to
change the situation we are in.
When it comes to achieving happiness, it is important not to forget the
small stuff. By concentrating too much on being happy, you may be missing
out on the little things that are right in front of you every day that can cause
enjoyment. Simply appreciating the little things in life and learning to love,
forgive, laugh, and live can lead to lifelong satisfaction. Now that we are
armed with the map to happiness, we may be wondering where to start. As
with anything, happiness does not magically appear overnight because we
can neither buy happiness, nor sell it; you can never win it in the lottery; the
only way to be happy is to grow your happiness.
I am sure that the happiness is in our heart! Follow your heart, your
passion and your dreams to be really happy! This is the easiest and at the
same time the hardest way to achieve the happiness.

Different countries have reputations for being good at different


sports. Think of some exemples

In the world exists many type of sports. Some of these are more interesting
than others for different people. For example, Americans have reputations for
being good at baseball, volleyball and basketball. Basketball and volleyball are
invented in United States of America. In USA are presented and another types
of sports near the enumerated sports. It can be explained by the size and
variety of country. Another reason of the popularity of sports is the peoples
love of competitions of any kind and wishes to have the best reputations at
different sports. One more reason is that Americans use sports activities for
teaching social values, such as teamwork and sportsmanship. All these
explain why Americans have traditionally done well in many kinds of sports,
especially at baseball, ice-hockey and others.
The British are great lovers of sports and they have reputations for being
good at football, rugby and tennis. Professional football is a big business in
Great Britain. Wimbledon is the centre of lawn tennis. Furthermore English
men pay much attention to swimming, rowing and walkink. In generally, in
Great Britain we can not say about the reputations for being good at one type
of sports because many kinds of sports have taken the origin in England.
The Australians has a good reputations for being good swimmers, the
Chinese are the best gymnastics and Spanish has a good reputations at soccer.
Different countries have reputations for being goods at different sports
because it are influnced by territorial and ethnic characteristics such as climate
and topography of the country, the culture and traditions of the people who
inhabit in it. In colder climates are better developed winter sports, and closer
to the Equator summer sports. If the entire country is plain, it is not likely to
be good at alpine skiing.
Some traditional sports in any country which are few popular in the world
promote successes in other sports in certain countries. The success of Brazilian
football players did not achieve without capoeira. But curling didnt a final
role in what Canadians do on the hochey site.
Finally, I want say that The Moldovan atlets are making significant progress
at the global level, not at all typical sports such as, for example, the Greco-
Roman wrestling. And Moldovans has reputations for being good at
weightlifting. This year Moldova took three medals at European
Championship. But the reputation of the countries is due primarly to climatic
condition. In a country where winter prevails, will practice winter sports and
where the prevailing climate is warm, will be practiced summer sports.
This is almost nothing in your life that is not touched by
language

Language belongs to each of us. Everyone uses words. What is it about


language that makes people so curios? The answer is that there is almost
nothing in our lives that is not touched by language. We live in and by
language.
Among the cultural goods that people could create, language occupied a
prominent place. Language is not only a medium of understanding between
individuals, but serves as a tool of deep insight and interpretation of human
life. Language represents all verbal expressions which are learned by every
community of people to make understanding between them.
Language is obviously a vital tool. Not only is it a means of communicating
thoughts and ideas, but it forges friendships, cultural ties, and economic
relationships. Language, of course, is knowledge, and in our world today
knowledge is one of the key factors in competitiveness. Brains and knowledge
are what create the prosperity and growth we tend to take for granted.
Even our thoughts, dreams take birth along with the utterance of the
words. everything is transposed on sheets or exposed only minutes with the
help of words, enunturilor, generally with the help of the spoken language.
And it is very important to know to speak, combine and make sentences with
words. In my vision it is a game with word where everyone is a player,
someone better than another. And win the player who know to realize a good
discussion in few minutes. The language has helm to any destination what
you want to achieve, and a bad player will quickly fall out of the field of play.
Language touching 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 talking, and when we relate what we
want from this life.
I can conclude that language is very necessary part of our life and we
doesnt exist without it. It is all we need to be presented in the social, cultural,
economic and political daily life. We must to develop it and it will help us to
be a personality, a valuable personality in the society.

Do you think it is a dangerous thing to judge about a nation by


existing stereotypes? Use specific reasons and examples to
support your answer.

In my opinion it is a dangerous think to judge about a nation by existing


stereotypes, because stereotypes is a fixed idea that is generally held about the
characteristics of a particular type of person which are wrongly believed to be
shared by all the people of that type.
Many of this stereotypes say about people. For example not to judge the
Chinese about their stereotypes : All Chinese look the same. This thing not
true, because everyone Chinese are unique in China. Others say it because
Chinese nation resembles. Many says what: All Arabs are terrorists which
says that all Arabs including children are terrorist but this thing true. This
stereotype formed because a group of terrorist done something wrong.
Even stereotypes applied to a racial group become inconsistent when
members of that group are broken down by national origin. A case in point is
that stereotypes about black Americans differ from those about blacks from
the Caribbean or blacks from African nations. Such discrepancies indicate that
stereotypes make little sense and arent useful tools by which to judge others
based on just a few aspects of their identity.
Negative stereotypes are a schematic idea of someone. Usually they are
formed when people are required it wrong. Audiovisual media often tell us,
for example that gypsies stole him on such and such. Did they steel gypsies,
but only a person of Roma? Or we camunicated, Romanians in Ukraine
leading cigarettes. Are all the people Romanian trafficked cigarettes , or
border was retained only a Romanian citizen? Similarly, in the mainds of
many were roote negative stereotypes and that Jews are smart, Russians
-drunks, Ukranians - stingy, Lituanians very slower, Georgians aggressive.
In the middle of every nation there are people smart, drunken, greedy,
aggressive. Nationality not determine these traits or specific human behavior,
but education, some psychological traits we should not make a wrong picture
well that there is no bush wood forest.
As a conclusion must not judge about a nation by existing stereotypes. For
my knowledge stereotypes doesnt represents every person from society and
so I say that we cant characterize all people from any country after the
dominant characteristic in it.
