Is cheating a good idea?

   Education and developing as a person is an important part of our lives. You are educated for nearly fifteen years(or even more). But there are a lot of people who want to cheat.
   Firstly, what is cheating? Cheating – is just simple lying to yourself. Because when you’re cheating, you are      losing an opportunity to get better. Of course, with cheating you can reach your goal. No? not even reach. Just create an illusion of a reached goal.
   But there won’t be a real result. When you’re cheating you’re losing energy, but you don’t get any result.
It doesn’t really matter, you’re copying your friend’s answers, or missing your training at some aport – you get only one result. You don’t get better. Even if you get a good mark – it won’t say, that you’ve learned theme. And who knows – maybe one day you’ll work with this theme. And you’ll understand, that cheating is not very good idea.
However, it will be too late. So, maybe cheating is not a very good idea?

Night clubs
    Visiting night clubs can be like a double-edged blade. Lots of teenagers spend most of their free time in night clibs or discos nowadays. It might change your personal life depending on how you manage your time.
    On the bright side, this is a fabulous thing to do in your free time. For one, you can hang out with your friends. Then, This is a great opportunity to get into a relationship with someone you like! Finally, you can just go there if you simply feel like it. It's not like someone is going to ask you why you are going to a night club. Just have fun!
    However, everything has cons. And so does this. First of all, if you visit night clubs too often, you will, most likely, neglect your education. You won't have enought time to do your homework. Then there's the problem with sleeping. So, you had fun and all. But you came home at 4:00 AM. Like, what were you thinking? In the morning, you will wake up and your head will hurt like hell. That's because you drank too much. There's another problem for ya. Those drinks are so tempting to drink! You won't see it coming and you'll get drunk in no time.
In my opinion, night clubs are awesome. Just don't overextend. We all know you can party. Don't party too vigorously.

The importance of learning English

"Стоят ли открывшиеся возможности свободно говорить по-английски потраченного времени и усилий?" - конкурс от БЛА для учеников в возрасте от 15 до 18 лет

I have recently come across an ad that says I can study in a very prestigious institution for the whole semester. Without thinking for a second, I decided to take up the case and write an article about whether or not it's worth to learn English for opened up opportunities of free-talking in it, even after all the effort and time that would be spent on it. Let's get started.

I believe that any new opportunities to learn a foreign language are worth any effort, as its understanding will provide a comfortable staying of a man or a woman who speaks a given language in another country, where this language is mostly or fully used.

As I was a child I loved to listen to stories of my grandmother's travelling with her husband, of the incredible impressions from it, and of the inability to get even more emotions and excitement because of the limited communication! She had to show what she needed and wanted through facial expressions and gestures, because she did not know the most common worldwide language - English. It brought her considerable discomfort.

A friend of mine once told me about a number of new emotions and possibilities that were given to him by knowing the English language: watching movies, reading books, simply communicating with foreigners, at last! I firmly decided to achieve the same results for myself. And, if possible, to beat them! And suddenly another unexpected bonus appeared there - I've met a new person who became my friend, so we started helping each other in learning the language, sharing books. And in the wings I always had a sparring partner for the development of my speaking skills, who is also my very close friend.

From my own experience I already know that despite the fact that I started learning English only because of the desire to become the best in the field of language skills than a friend of mine, at the moment my interest in the possession of that language has not disappeared, as I began to judge objectively about the new opportunity to speak English freely.

In my own opinion, there is not anything complicated in the learning of this language, because the potential of the human ability to think sensibly and remember the utter amount of information has no limit. At the moment I already realize that I won a bet with the guy not only in the sense that I was able to learn the basics of the English language as quickly as possible, but also that I understood the essence of language, knew all its charm and accessibility.

Sensibly judging that learning English in traditional ways, as 80% of the population of Ukraine does, would have made me lose in speed, so I've created my own method that helped me succeed in achieving my goal.

I spent a lot of efforts in the study of English language. Time is also not an exception to this rule, which portends success.

First, I realized that the school curriculum and tutors did not satisfy my needs in learning English. After creating my own program for myself, which I followed afterwards, I started working on it. I chose what, at first, I really was interested in as a person and only then - as a student. While reading any interesting news or listening to audio, watching foreign films or videos, which included at least a piece of what might interest me, I realized that I began to enjoy the process of learning English. So since then I have ceased to make such strong, according to others’ thoughts, efforts, because the information directly ran up to my head. With this same sense of wonder I have ceased to feel the burden of time in the study of language, because my personal interest was, just like now, on a very high level. Over time, it became possible for me to communicate completely freely with foreigners in English, which gave me extraordinary pleasure, as the feeling of a full understanding of all they said was the greatest reward for me for all that period of my life I spent on learning English.

I believe that everyone can choose his or her own way of learning it, but for greater productivity and lower costs in time, I would still advise to choose my way, which was described above.

So let’s look at the pros which I have received due to the fact that I know the language.

Firstly, I can easily watch movies or read books of English authors in the original language (and Shakespeare too, even though his version of English has kind of a different way from the standard). And I'll tell you a secret that the very essence of the "native" untranslated, text sometimes changes shape of the perception of works of art. New nuances of those thoughts which are wanted to be shared with us by the author are opening up; the general idea of ​​what has been said by characters or written is felt in a different light, in fact, not in which people who are forced to consume information in the translation because of their ignorance of the language, see that.

Secondly, I can freely communicate with foreign nationals (not necessarily British people or Americans). Since English is the defaulted international language, I will never be ashamed of the fact that I could not explain, for example, to Japanese, how to get to the Opera House, Mirror Stream, or where he or she can see the largest square in Europe. Thus, the sociability of a person is determined by his or her ability to speak English, what is definitely worth the time and efforts.

Third of all, if to approach the issue pragmatically, passaging the contest for some decent position in a large company, I would have much more chances to win in comparison with those who have not realized that English is useful in life yet. After all, it is not a secret that knowing any foreign language (and preferably several) is a prerequisite for employees of large corporations, especially foreign ones. This way, I who has the level of fluent English and a level of intermediate (but there is no limit to perfection) French, Portuguese and Arabic, much more likely can catch the tail of the blue bird of luck than the bums who skip classes in school.

Fourth, according to the knowledge of the English language in my only 16 years old, I freely earn money by tutoring. Again, I do not know how my life will go, but I always have the possibility to perquisite, that justifies any apparent negative aspects of language learning.

Fifth, if I want to move to another country, then I will be there to assimilate more easily than most people. And it’s not only because I know the international language, but also because of the way I learned it what brings me an extra bonus - a clear understanding of the mentality of the citizens of other countries, which is much more different from ours.

In addition, English became my second native language, which I began to speak and think in as if I were a representative of English-speaking countries. I am very comfortable to communicate with representatives of different countries, which greatly facilitates the understanding of them to me and of all what they tell me. It much extends the perception of information I get.

Thus, if any opportunity to create a business opened in front of me, it would be much easier to count the factors that would influence its success, and I think it is quite worth the time and efforts.

Meanwhile, I also can justifiably claim that learning a foreign language helps the person in the development of his or her memory in the most active way. For example, I started to notice how my vocabulary and the amount of the information that I can remember now, increased at least 5 times.

It shouldn't be also forgotten about the numbers of arguments, which are described below.

The most valuable product in this world is information. Knowing languages ​​determines the fastest pace of obtaining diverse information from various sources. Thus, English helps in developing Globalization, which expands the views, culture and knowledge of the people who come into contact with foreign individuals in certain circumstances. From this argument, it turns out that all the efforts and time spent on the person learning a foreign language, are rewarded with the knowledge which would be impossible to obtain in other circumstances. 

Globalization, which I mentioned above also affects the development of a man as a person. The great example is Nicholas II, who was also the Russian Emperor, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Finland, who knew five languages, including English.His contemporaries described Nicholas as a very erudite and differentiated with innovative-thinking ruler.The policy of the emperor, which was formed under the influence of foreign sources which indicates the methods of management organization in other countries, has raised the standard of living and development of the Russian population to the heights, which previously no one even could imagine.

As for me personally, being a very active person at the age of 16 years old I have already masterminded a number of flash mobs.

And this fall, on the instructions of my school, I organized a conference, which was attended by 150 people. The main guests of the event were Christopher, a Canadian citizen, and the Portuguese Joгo, who came with the aim to talk about themselves and their views on the major issues of the international community. I received the experience of the translating from English into Ukrainian, but that’s not all yet. I understood the basic knowledge in the field of oratory which I will need for my future profession in the field of journalism.

As a result, our school participated in the World’s project «Face to Faith» and was awarded with a silver certificate for the interesting conference, which was attended by such countries as Ukraine, Pakistan, America and so on.

Besides all of what was said above, as part of additional extracurricular activities, I wrote two scientific researches of the English language, the basis of which was made of foreign sources which are not translated in Ukraine.

Thus, on the basis of the foregoing, I can safely make a withdrawal that a new opportunity to speak English fluently is much more than worth spending much time and efforts, because knowledge takes the veil of ignorance which prevents many people to succeed in their lives away. Personally, I know what I want, and English will help me in it.

And more ... In some groups there is a perception that the more developed human is - the longer he or she lives. So, basically, it is possible to argue on the concept of lost time. Who knows, maybe because of my love for learning everything new, I will live a life much longer than it could be. And the fact that it will be much more interesting and productive – I have no doubt about it!
