SP10EAP98

At the end of this quarter I feel like I have learned a lot of new things, especially how to write a good essay because it was really hard for me before. I have learned how to write and find a thesis statement and how this thesis will relate in the other paragraphs. Also, now I understand what an outline is and how to write an outline. I have learned a lot of things from Plato assignment: what is dependent and independent clauses, where we should put comma, dash, semi colon and other punctuations. Although, I know this staff before, but after this quarter I know it more deeply. Nevertheless, Reading LAB was kind of useless for me because my reading skills are really good and it was like a reminder for me, nothing new. Next quarters I would like to learn more deeply about the essay and try to write it better. Finally, this quarter was really productive for everybody and of course this is the merit of our teacher, Monika Monk, she is the best!

Happiness

Every person has his own understanding of happiness. A man creates happiness for himself and by himself. I am absolutely sure that happiness doesn’t count in money. Those people who have a lot of money are often feeling lonely. They don’t know if people love them for their money or for their personality. They don’t have real friends and love as a result. I think that a man who doesn’t have a lot of money is much happier. For me happiness is when my closest people are happy, when you enjoy every moment of your life and find pleasure and joy in every day, when you love and somebody loves you. Also, I think that people are happy when they have a lot of friends, a good job, a nice house, family and of course strong health.

Traveling

If you pack for travelling, the first thing you should take is papers such as passport, tickets and money or a credit card. Most people prefer credit card because it is convenient and safely. Things for hygiene are also important. They include tooth-brush with tooth paste, shampoo and soap. What clothes you should take depend on where you go and the purpose of your traveling. When I went to the Mediterranean Sea I took: shirts, t-shirts, glasses, sandals and cream for my skin. Camera and mobile phone are very useful things too. I think that every person wants to have memories.

As I said I went to the Mediterranean Sea. I had a very good time. Every day I sunbathed on the sandy beaches and swam in the sea. The water was really warm. In the evenings my friends and I went to the bars and discos. While travelling I had an opportunity to meet with new people and communicate with them in English. I enjoyed sightseeing, taking pictures and shopping. So I can say that the traveling experience is magical and unforgettable, and that is why we are looking forward to travel again and again.

To be a Parent is a Very Serious Task

You can't have anything but a lot of patience. If you show them love, respect and patience they will learn it and pass it onto others. Make sure that you tell your child that you love them several times a day. Spend a lot of time with them, enjoy going somewhere with them like: trips to the library, museum, park, even at early ages. You need to be easy with the punishments because they will never forget it. Know what they are doing at home, and out with friends. Talk with them and be there for them. Let them grow and be independent. Let them talk with you about their news. Don't watch television or talk on the phone, give them your attention to them, otherwise they may feel you don't care about what they want to say. Always say you love them before they go to sleep at night and when they first wake up in the morning. They will sleep better and be better kids because of it.

Difference Between the USA and Belarus, "Food"

There are a lot of differences between USA and Belarus, but the main difference in my opinion is the “Food.” In Belarus there not so many fast food restaurants, while in America you can find hundreds of different fast food restaurants. And this is very bad for our health to eat that “Junk Food” because it contains a lot of calories, fat and sugar. That’s why you can’t find fat people on the streets of my country. Everybody look healthy and athletic with a good fashion sense. We make our food from high quality products. This is always traditional, slow-cooked meals. No processed food, that you can put into the microwave and eat it couple minutes later. It’s also bad for our health because processed food contains a big percentage of sodium and trans fat. In the USA you can find any kind of the processed food with the flavor you want. In Belarus you can find such food, but it’s unpopular and it’s not so good. It’s easier to cook something by yourself. So I think that American people eat too much easy cooked meals. And this is the biggest difference between USA and my country.
