  1. :DHi everybody. I did not post anything since my TOEFL May5th,2003. I have passed it and now I am a University Student in Alberta, Canada. I didn't attand any TOEFL or ESL courses. The Only Teacher I had was TestMagic. So, better later then never, I want to thank you for a contribution to my future and happiness of my mom. Sincerely, Tetyana Pituley.
  2. Hi people. Say somthing about my essay. It is true that you can not study all subjects that interest him at the same time. Most people have to choose subjects that are necessary for his future job and concentrate on them. But there is always some secret desire to know more about some particular things. For me they are ocean space and life that thrives in it. That’s why if I could study a subject that I have never had the opportunity to study I would choose a marine biology. It appeals to me in so many ways, the mystery that accompanies the science of sea (ocean) and the world of living things that reside there has always attracted me in some magic way but I never tool my chance. Now, if I am given such, I will not hesitate much before I take and below are some reasons for doing so. Marine biology is a science that deals with the animals and plants of the sea how they depend on directly on bodies of saltwater for food and other necessities. It also explains the chemical and physical properties of seawater, the currents and the composition of the sea floor. Oceans and seas are still a mystery for scientists. They contain more living things then other natural habitats. Ocean provides people with food and medicine. Moreover, ocean is a huge reservoir of waters that influences climate and temperature balance. People existence on the Earth depends on the oceans to a large extent. It is hard to imagine what a big world exists in the depths of the oceans. How many undiscovered enigmas it contains? Humankind has discovered just a small part about oceans and the life that thrives within them. We still don’t have the full catalog of marine organisms and their properties. Only today with improved diving equipment, underwater cameras and television that have made direct observation possible, we can understand better the real aquatic world. For example, only with help of modern equipment the scientist have measured sulfur gases level that the oceans release. They know that this gas is required for cloud formation. They can also measure carbone dioxide that is taken up by marine plants (phytoplankton). Finally, another very important part of what marine biology study is the ocean pollution and its effect on the environment. Over-fishing leads to food chain disturbance and the change of the whole structure of the marine ecosystem. Oil spill and ship dump change chemical and physical status of the oceans. Thus, the oceans can not provide efficient gas exchange and climate control that make worse greenhouse effect, global warming, and acid rains. Taking all of the above mentioned, I can easily conclude that marine biology is a good way for me to broaden my mind and find out more about the interesting world that exists in the deeps of the oceans. IT could also help me to understand better how important is to preserve the oceans from pollution and damage.
  3. Hello everybody, here is my essay. Give me any comments. In our world there are many different customs that differ from one country to another. My country, Ukraine, has one that, in my opinion, can be adopted by many other countries. It is part of Christmas celebration and our people call it “Vertep”. This custom came from old times and is described in Ukrainian literature by novelists and poets. Vertep is very bright and colorful custom. During Christmas adults and children gather together and go from house to house singing Christmas songs, Kolyada, and perform scenes about Christ birth and events of that time. There are a lot of different roles in Vertep. Little kids play angels, young girl plays Mary, The Mother of Christ, young man performs a role of Joseph. There are also Irod and three kings that came to welcome The Christ. People wear colorful costumes that correspond to their roles. They also carry the prototype of the stable where the Christ was born and everybody can see the statuettes of little Christ and His Hole parents in it and sheep surrounding them watching The Hole Event. People enjoy Christmas time and most of all they look forward to Vertep. Some people like to participate in it, others prefer to stay at home waiting for Vertep. Vertep is usually is gratefully rewarded by the owner of the house. They present people of Vertep with Christmas food and money. For their gifts Vertep wishes all the best to the house and people that live there. To me, Vertep was the most enjoyable thing during Christmas time. My brother my cousins and I had our own Vertep. We prepared all our scenes, phrases and decorations very carefully. Our parents made costumes for us. Vertep was a special event that made our Christmas holiday even more joyful and memorable. I think this Custom could be a great addition to Christmas celebration in other countries. It could unify people and make their holiday more enjoyable.
  4. Hi everybody. Judge my essay. If I could meet a famous entertainer or athlete I would choose Jennifer Lopez. As a dancer, singer, actress and fashion designer , she has become famous thanks to her hard work and persistency She dreamed to become a performer and now she is one of the best actress and one of the most popular signer in the world. To begin with, I would like to meet Jennifer Lopez in order to find out more about her not easy way to the top. She has a great talent but without hard work she would never reach any heights. It is hard to believe that one women can do so many different things at the same time. She dances, signs, play roles in movies and recently she decided to try herself in fashion. She has designed her perfume in a beautiful container with the letters J-Lo on it. For her great dance video she was rewarded with MTV Music Award. Moreover, Jennifer also made history as the first female artist to have a number one album and movie in the same week, as seen when The Wedding Planner debuted at number one and had audiences rushing to see J-Lo in the starring role. Recently, more and more fashion magazines fight for having Jennifer Lopez photo on its covers. Walking in any shopping center you can see plenty of them. She has a great sense of beauty and style. That’s why her every new appearance in front of audience is like Fashion show. She can combine color, material and different pieces of clothes so that it looks wonderful. To sum up, if I had a chance to meet Jennifer Lopez I would like to know more about her everyday life. It is always interesting to know what is the true personality of a very famous person. I also would like to know if her only goal in life was to become a famous person. For me it would be not only a pure interest but also a good lesson for life. Maybe someday my hard work would be seen.
  5. Hi people. Give me any comments. If the last one hundred years is associated with anything, it is technological change. In transportation, for example, we have gone from the horse and buggy to the space shuttle. In communication we have gone from the messenger to the wireless phone, FAX and Internet. In everyday life we have got microwave, television, cable and satellite dish. In medicine so many diseases can be prevented and treated. Diseases can be diagnosed with sophisticated equipment and treated with laser surgery or newly synthesized drugs. All these technological "miracles" will be remembered about the twentieth century. But in my opinion the most significant change is the invention of antibiotics. For many centuries infections posed a serious threat to people’s health and even lives. It is hard to imagine people’s fear of being infected even with some banal infectious because they could die of it. But the biggest people own that time was plague or Black Death. 24 million people have died because of it in 14th century. During the war time soldiers died because of the infected wound. Tuberculosis, the white plague, is still dangerous disease that kills more people in the world than any other infectious disease. Penicillin has became the “wonder drug” that had saved millions people’s lives. It was discovered in 1929 by Alexander Fleming and has become the miracle in medicine. Pneumonia and diphtheria are not lethal diseases any more. Tuberculosis can be treated and people continue to live. Nowadays antibiotics are the most usable drugs all over the world. They are used not only to treat infections but also to prevent them. To conclude, although many great inventions have appeared in twentieth century, I believe that discovering of the antibiotics is the most valuable and considerable one. It saved, save and will save thousands of people’s lives. And life is the most precious gift.
  6. Hello people. Here is my ideas on this topic. I remember from the childhood how exciting was our vacation on the seaside in summer, and how enjoying was the skiing on the tops of the mountains in winter, and how beautiful was the mixture of yellow, red, green and brown colors of the trees in autumn, and how wonderful was awakening of the nature in spring. All these advantages are available only if you live in areas where the climate changes four times a year. That’s why, although places that have the same climate all year long have their advantages, I would rather prefer to live in a place where I can enjoy four different types of weather. Firstly, when you live in places where the weather changes through the year you can enjoy the changes of nature in different seasons. For example, you can enjoy sunny and warm days in summer and rainy and gloomy weather in autumn. And also you may like to breathe in the freshness of the morning air in winter and the aroma of the blossom in spring. Moreover, it is always very exciting to look forward for the coming of spring with the snow melting and snowdrops appearance; and also for the winter coming with the New Year and Christmas eves when there are the piles of the snow outside and windows decorated with frozen pattern. You would never so many beautiful things when you live in places with the same climate through the year. Secondly, different weather through the year makes people’s lives more interesting and enjoying. They can wear different types of clothes, decorate their houses in different ways and spend their leisure time differently depending on weather conditions and season. For example, people can grow different kind of flowers so that their houses look nice in spring, summer and autumn. And in wintertime their Christmas and New Year decorations look more natural and gorgeous on a real snow rather then without it. Similarly, living in the places where weather changes through the year gives people a chance to do winter and summer kinds of sport and also enjoy spending time outside in different types of weather. For example, people may spend a day on the beach and swim in the river in summer and ski in winter. At the end I would like to say that human nature is such that it like to have different experiences in the life. Moreover, life seems much more interesting when surrounding environment changes. It makes people to experience some new feeling and emotions. Sultry summer, rainy autumn, frosty winter and changeable spring make our life more exciting and eventful. Thanks in advance for any corrections.
  7. Hello people. This is one of my last essays before taking test. It is tomorrow. Help!!! In my country people say that it is impossible to have many friends but one or two that you could rely on in any situation. We say that because a friend is not a person who share your leisure time with you but those one who always do whatever is necessary to help you and lend his hand even in very complicated and hard time. It is true that different ages could explain friendship in different way. For example, teenagers would say that a real friend is those who is funny and has a sense of humor. I am 26 and from my background I would say that I want most in my friend - someone who is reliable and helpful. To begin with, when you are 15 or 17 years old the first thing that you are looking for in your friend is his sense of humor and a great time you can spend with him. I can not deny that those characteristics are important too. But when you are a grown-up you realize that there are many other important things in life besides fun and leisure. That why your approach to a true friendship is different. For me, my friend is those who can give any kind of support in your needs. For example, when I face a problem I would like my friend to help me not necessarily financially or physically but with good word and good advice. Sometimes moral support is as much helpful as financial. Another important thing in the friendship is reliability. It could be proven only in time of difficulties and hardship. Sometimes you can consider a friend someone who in your time of needs turn his back on you. And on the contrast, your friend could seem reliable and honest, but he could envy your success or happiness. Both conditions are very bad and they mean that your friend’s feelings are not true. To conclude, a friend should possess many different characteristics such as intelligence, sense of humor, honest and responsibility. All of them are necessary for long-lasting and strong friendship. But the most important of all qualities of true friend is reliability and helpfulness.
  8. Here is my essay If I were asked to send one thing representing my home country, Ukraine, on the international exhibition I would send embroidered towel and embroidered shirt. This is a special kind of art in Ukraine that by its pattern and color tells about life and customs in the country. I would not mistaken if I say that embroidery is an important part of Ukrainian people’s life. If one visit Ukrainian family anywhere in the world he would always notice that there are several embroidered towels in a house. Usually women make them by their hand and most of the time they are devoted to special occasion in their family life. For example, a long narrow embroidered towel is made for wedding and engagement. It is a symbol of happy and long-lasting family life. People often hang them above the door in a living room because they believe that this towel can protect them from evil. In every region in Ukraine an embroidered towel has its special pattern and color. For example, in western Ukraine people make it red and black with plain pattern. But in the east an embroidered towel is many-colored and has flowers and animals on it. An embroidered shirt is a folk clothes but people also wear it when they go to the church and to the weddings. Its pattern and color correspond with patter and color of embroidered towel in the particular region. In the past the embroidered clothes was the only kind of clothes that people had. Women wore skirt and long white shirt that had embroidery on them. It was hard and time-consuming work. Men shirt had simpler pattern and usually just one color. To conclude, since an embroidered towel and shirt are an integral part of people’s lives in my home country Ukraine, they can represent it and tell people from other countries about our country. As it is a handy work that takes time and energy to finish it an embroidery is considered to be a very valuable gift for any occasion.
  9. My test is after tomorrow May 5th. I am looking through all 5.0-6.0 essays and sometimes I have inspiration to right my own essay. This is one of them. would appreciate your comments especially if I fail this test first time. My mom always said to me when I was a child: “It is not necessarily for you to do all household work but you have to know how to do it. When time comes you may need all those skills in your everyday life.” She was right. When my brother and I was a child my mom did not insist on me doing all household tasks. But respect and love to our parents made us to help them whenever they need it, of course not to the detriment of our study. Thus I do agree that children should help their parents with household tasks because it prepare children to adult life, teach them self-discipline and respect to others people work. To begin with, children’s attitude towards life depends on the “atmosphere” in the house where they grew up. I mean parents show their children how they should behave in different situations. And by helping with household tasks children learn how to manage all uneasy household works in their future life. For example, girls could learn from their moms how to cook, clean and make a house a cozy and comfortable place to live. Similarly, boys could learn from their dads how to fix something and to make something with their own hand. This experience could be very helpful in the children’s future lives. Furthermore, children can learn self-discipline and respect to others people’s work if they help their parents with household tasks. For example, if children have their own duties in house they live they have to sacrifice some of their time for this work. In this way they learn to organize their time properly and be responsible. Moreover, if children know how uneasy is daily household work for their moms and dads they would always respect and appreciate other people’s work. For example, a husband will never think that his wife household tasks are easier then his job duties. He will try to help her to do it. It will create stronger relationship and happier family life. To conclude, children have a great benefit when they help their parents with household tasks. Knowledge gained from this kind of work will help them in their future life not only personal but also on the work.
  10. Hello everybody. Here is my essay. I tell the truth I stole first two sentence from another essay that has inspired me to express my own point of view. Thanks ahead for any comments. When people move to another country, they may choose whether they will accept it's customs, or keep the customs of their home country. Accepting the new customs may help us overcome the cultural shock caused by the change of environment, while keeping your own customs gives us emotional support in the new conditions, by maintaining cultural link with your home country. I would prefer to keep my own customs because they are a part of my personality, they make me an interesting person in a society with different customs and they would help me to bring up my children with respect to their origin. Diversity of cultures makes the world beautiful and interesting place to live. It could be very boring if in all countries people speak same language, sing same songs and celebrate same holidays. In my home country Ukraine customs has been establishing for hundreds years. Ignoring them when move to other country would be not just wrong but it could tell about you as a person without roots and principle. I was brought up with pride of being Ukrainian and with respect to our language, songs, holidays and land. That’s why I think that keeping your home country customs even if live in other country is very important. Furthermore, I found it very interesting to meet people from different countries that have their own customs. For example, I like dance and songs from India and countries of South America. I enjoy Chinese and Italian food. My husband is Uzbek and his customs have never ceased to amaze me. Being Ukrainian in Canada I found that people consider you as more interesting and more bright personality if they know that you can speak your own language, know your culture and keep your own holidays. Ukrainian descends in Canada are always willing to talk to you and ask you about Ukraine and its life. Last but not the least, keeping your home country customs when you live in other country is very important if you want that your children know who are they, where they come from and why they should continue keeping their customs and pass to their own children. There are so many people in Canada that know that their grandparents came from Ukraine. But, unfortunately, they can hardly manage to pronounce couple words in Ukrainian or have a hard time reminding what city they lived. I am sorry for them because they have lost their roots. To conclude, as every culture and customs are part of people’s lives they should be preserved for coming generations in order to one not get lost in gray area. One should keep his own customs while living in other country because it makes him a person with definite origin, history and culture.
  11. Hi everybody. Here is my essay. Judge it. The advent of the modern technology has changed the way people live to a large extent. Almost everything that you own and use was created through technology. Machines do the most part of people’s daily work. Moreover, there are many places where machines perform all kinds of work such as nuclear and dangerous chemical plants. But still there is a space in our life for handy work and machines could not replace it. I will explain my point of view. To begin with, I appreciate modern technology for making my life easier and more comfortable by using Internet and E-mail, modern kitchen utensils and appliances not to mention about all fast kinds of transportation and modern medical equipment. As a medical worker I can say that without using machines a very complicated and accurate medical tests would not be possible. Moreover, machines made a possible the most operations on human heart and brain. In the past a patient had to stay for two weeks in the hospital after any even minor operation. Today, with all modern equipment, like laser and endoscope, it take a day or two. Thus, I would conclude that it is necessary in many cases to use machines for people’s own good. On the other hand, some kind of work still should be done by hand because it is the best way to get perfect outcome. For example, during medical examination a doctor in order to get a true picture of a patient condition should exam his patient manually. Only in this way a doctor can feel if his patient skin is hot or cold, dry or wet and if this place is painful or not, if there is any lump or swelling. Similarly, an artwork like painting, music, dance could be the most valuable if they done by hand. Only live performance can attract an audience. Only paintings in which a painter expresses his feeling and emotions could be considered a true work of art. Of course, people can listen to music by using stereo and get a picture of the seashore by using computer and printer. But they do not have a big value comparing to live art. To conclude, regarding to the choice of hands or machines, both have a distinct place in the modern world. I do not dare to say that I would prefer using machines to doing something by hand because my choice always will depend on kind of work.
  12. Hello everybody. Here is my "masterpiece". Any comments are welcomed. #062. What do you want most in a friend—someone who is intelligent or someone who has a sense of humor, or someone who is reliable? Which one of these characteristics is most important to you? Use reasons and specific examples to explain your choice. In my country people say that it is impossible to have many friends but one or two that you could rely on in any situation. We say that because a friend is not a person who share your leisure time with you but those one who always do whatever is necessary to help you and lend his hand even in very complicated and hard time.

  13. Hi, Maytinlee. Here your essay with some of my ideas about it. Maybe you find it interesting. Whether a university should require students to take classes in many subjects or require students to specialize in one subject has been argued for a long time among students and teachers. A variety of arguments have been discussed. It is an important issue because it concerns on how the university finds the best way to educate the students. From my view, I believe the university should require students to take classes in many subjects. It has been claimed that students can't learn well the major courses if they are required take classes in many subjects. However, as education research indicates broad view of knowledge can help students understand their courses effectively. For example, students that have the background on the music can easily master the logic class such as mathematics, physics or statistics. Another reason why students should take classes in many subjects is that many subjects require students to have knowledge of some other subjects that are necessary for its better understanding. For example, in the genetic research, the scientists must have the background on medical study, physical knowledge, and chemical experience. Similarly, the students in art school have to study the human's system of muscles. Without the knowledge of human body, how could they draw the accurate picture? In addition, student can find their real talent by selecting many subjects. Everybody has talent, but sometimes it is not easy to recognize it from the beginning. In this case studying of many subjects can help student to choose what is the best for him. For example, my dream was to be a scientist when I was a young boy. In the high school, I had chance to select some courses on music, I really liked it. Now, I went to the college of art in our city. I bet it is my best choice in my life. The music class in the high school changes my whole life. Anyway, after learning different subjects, students can have a clear idea about their goals and wishes for life. In conclusion, students can definitely benefit from the studying many subjects. Without the study on many subjects, it could be difficult for them to master the spirit of knowledge and find their talent. Good luck.
  14. Hello people. Here my essay. If the last one hundred years is associated with something, it is technological change. Nowadays we have television, mobile phone, and computer with Internet and e-mail. It is undeniable that humankind has made countless great advances that dramatically change people’s lives. In transportation, for example, we have gone from the horses and buggy to the space shuttle. New transportation vehicles, such as automobiles and airplanes, have become a technological miracle that significantly influence people’s lives. It is hard to say either automobile or airplane has change people’s lives more. Automobile has become almost the first people necessity in the modern fast world. Man today can not do without his car any more. Similarly, airplanes have made a big world “smaller” than it was before. Thanks to airplanes people can cover huge distances in several hours. That’s why I think that although automobiles are big advances, airplanes have change people’s lives more dramatically. Airplanes are very fast and comfortable kind of transportation that serves people in many different ways. Firstly, airplanes give people and their families an opportunity to communicate much better than before. Because of global economy many people have to work in the countries different from those where their families live. If there were no airplanes, it would be impossible for people to see their families very often. Moreover, mass immigration leads to separation of families for a long time. And without airplanes it would be completely impossible to keep families’ communication in that good way as it is now. People can visit their countries several times a year, spend holidays with their relatives and keep connections with their native cultures. My son was born in Canada. I teach him Ukrainian and our native culture. But the most effective way to do it is to visit Ukraine where my son could be in the Ukrainian environment. Thanks to airplanes we can fly to Ukraine couple times a year. He found airplanes very comfortable and fast. Airplanes have made a great contribution to a global economy and business communications between countries. Business people all over the world use airplanes to meet with their executives in other countries and to transport freight. Not only businessmen have benefit from the airplane but also politicians. They use their own airplanes to visit other countries and discuss problems with its leaders. To conclude, I would like to say that modern world could not manage without airplanes. They are involved in every sphere of people’s lives, personal, economical,political etc. Nowadays airplanes are the fastest kind of transportation on the Earth. That's why they have changed people's lives dramatically.
  15. Wow,boogieman, I had to read your essay with the dictionary. But, I really liked it.
  16. Hi people. Here is my essay. Any comments welcome! #100: Some people think that governments should spend as much money as possible on developing or buying computer technology. Other people disagree and think that this money should be spent on more basic needs. Which one of these opinions do you agree with? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer. Since different countries have different economical status the governments may decide to spend money in totally different ways. It is obvious that in the developing countries government would rather spend more money on people’s basic needs like food, water and medical service. On the other hand in the developed countries scientific research, for example computer technology, is a very important part of their budgets. As for my home country, Ukraine, I would agree that its government should spend more money on people basic needs. When people have their basic needs satisfied (food, water, shelter) they could begin to think of other things to fulfill their life expectations. Well-known psychologist Abraham Maslow has developed a “Hierarchy of Human Needs” pyramid where on the first place is people’s physiological heeds and on the second place is safety needs. In Ukraine, unfortunately, people have no water and heat in their apartments. Moreover, many people do not have proper food and clothes. Medical service also should be improved as there are no medicines in the hospitals, diagnostic tests are very primitive and only rich people have an access to advanced medical service. Furthermore, corruption and criminality occupy my home country. For all above reasons I think that government in Ukraine must spend much more money on people’s basic needs. Once most basic needs are satisfied people could start to think about their social status and recognition that comes from good education, knowledge and hard work. And on this stage government has to think about spending more money on research and computer technology. It can help to improve economy of the country and betterment of the people. As computer has begun an essential part of modern world in almost every sphere of industry and people’s daily life government should spent enough money on its research. To sum up, government should consider how much money to spend on computer technology depending on current status of economy and conditions of people’s life. Government should not put computer technology before basic needs of people because it won’t work anyway. People can not think about technology if they do not know how to support themselves.
  17. Thank you, miwa,for your quick answer and your correction.
  18. Hi everybody. This topic is not easy.Let's think about it.
  19. Hi everybody. Here is my essay. Any comments welcome. #108: Some people believe that the best way of learning about life is by listening to the advice of family and friends. Other people believe that the best way of learning about life is through personal experience. Compare the advantages of these two different ways of learning about life. Which do you think is preferable? Use specific examples to support your preference. As many people as many life's story. It means that every person has his/her own life way, which is different from others. And it is usually hard to give a peace of advice based on your own experience because it could be inappropriate decision for anybody else. Moreover, there is no other way for people to make sure that his decision is right or true than to try it and see a result. Otherwise, there always would be the doubts whether that decision was right or wrong. Hence, I suppose that the best way of learning about life is through personal experience. However, I do believe that sometimes a good advice can be very beneficial and useful for the person. Usually, the first advisors in our lives are our parents. They feel the right to advise their children what is the best decision. Their love and intuition help them to do it. However, children do not want to accept their parents’ advice and often think that their decisions are the best. With time they can see if that decision was right or wrong. Through their new experience they learn and get life wisdom. It is said that people learn through their mistakes. Bad experience is much more memorable and valuable than a good one because next time when person has a similar situation he/she would never repeat his previous mistakes. However, sometimes a good advice can help one avoid many problems and huge expenses. For example, one friend of mine planned to buy a maid service franchise and start his own business. Everything seemed very good and fair. The seller of that business persuaded him to do it and promised fast profit. But he did not mention that my friend would not be able to set up his own company for 6 years. Fortunately, a woman who has already bought it and was very unhappy because of that rule advised my friend not to buy the franchise. Finally, he was very grateful for the woman’s advice. So, people can learn also by listening to advice. In conclusion, although listening to advice and following them might be useful and advantageous but personal experience, especially people’s mistakes, is much more valuable and memorable way of learning about life.

  22. Thank you, Erin. I have used this phrase in my essay.
  23. Hi dlc8282. I like your ideas but I also have some comments.I think you should divide 2para in two or three and try to describe better your thoughts about cooking, music with candle and holiday on the beach. There is also some grammatical mistakes.In the second sentence you should say " I will present" and this sentence is too long. Here is my way. There are many ways of reducing stress and difficulties ( this is a little bit funny because you can't reduce difficulties )of modern life. In the following passages I will present some of the ways that I find effective in reducing stress.They can help to relax and be free from burdens of our hectic schedules. Some people find reading and/ or exercising relaxing while others prefer to go to the beauty and spa salons to pamper themselves with relaxing massages and body treatments. As for me, the ideal ways of relaxation are cooking, music and holiday on a secluded beach. Para 2 - about cooking. Para3 - about music. Para4 -about holiday. Your conclusion is great for me. This is just my thoughts.They may not suit you. Good luck.
  24. #166: People recognize a difference between children and adults. What events (experiences or ceremonies) make a person an adult? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your answer. Children and adults are two successive stages of human development. It is pretty easy to make distinctions between them in appearance. However a psychological difference sometimes is not so clear. Age is not a criterion. The difference between children and adults is in the way they think, feel, make their own decisions and take responsibility. Sometimes 30-year-old man can act like a child, being irresponsible and careless. In contrast, a 12-year-old child thinks rationally and behaves reasonably. But usually a person is considered an adult when he/she graduates from high school and leaves the nest for the first time. A person starts an independent life that is completely different from those with parents. Next event that makes a person an adult is finding a job. Work environment and co-workers are big challenge for young adult. Finally, the most responsible and important experience in people’s life is getting married and births children. The moment when children finish schools and enter colleges or universities is always very excited and sad at the same time for their parents. Children cut the apron strings and begin standing on their own two feet. Young adults must learn to be independent and responsible. They have to make their own decisions and fend for themselves. Now young people have more freedom but also more problems that they have to solve by their own. At this time parents can give an advice how to act but only young adult makes the final decision. First job experience is the next important step that makes children an adult. Work environment differs entirely from those in the college. Here young persons have their own duties and responsibilities. They must work hard in order to prove themselves. In addition, they have to co-work with their colleagues. It requires being diplomatic, tactful and patient. Lastly, the most significant decision in the people’s life is getting married and births their own children. Family relationships are very complicated. People have to be mutually tactful and patient with each other. Family wellbeing is responsibility of both husband and wife. They have to work hard in order to raise their children, to educate them and to be proud of what they will become. To sum up, I would like to say that adulthood is always attractive for children by its freedom. However, when children reach this period of their life they understand that being an adult is not so easy as seemed before. All these events mentioned above, which are entering the colleges, first job experience and family life, are the best approval of it.
  25. Hi,smm. I am glad you are not angry with me for my response. I will tell you something about airplane. It saves people relationships. I have a girlfriend here and she misses her husband very much. He is still in Ukraine. She flies 4 times a year to meet her husband. It gives her chance to keep a job place. Another thought, airplane help people to do business ( any kind, even family problem ) faster and efficiently. My friend In Ukraine called me and said that I had to go back and finish some matter as for my college diploma. I t was very important for me and I managed to fly back in two days. My problem was solved. But these are just my examples and they may not suit you. Good luck to you.
