 If you were given one million dollars to spend how would you spend it? You cannot use it for yourself, family members, or trends.  I would start a charity to help out smart, motivated kids who fall in the range where their families make enough to not qualify scholarships but not enough to send their kids to school. I would then spend my natural life trying to improve the life of those who deserve it. What do you thing the most serious problem in the world is? Why?

We all now that we have a new world, a world that have a lot of good, but also lot of bad things..The innovation and new technology are very big things that human have made..but we must to try to save all that. If we do bad things the world wouldn’t have any benefit of us like person. One of the wrong ways that we can choose is using a drogues, thinking that our problems will be solved. Every day people, specially young, are dieing because day r using that. We are aware to the worlds biggest problems but the things can we do something about it! In my opinion we have to began with us like a person, in order to help the word and accurse to help us salves I like a person am going to do my best for living a good and healthy world so let me began. Most people feel that they have “learned some lessons” in their life. They may made some mistakes that taught them something. There are no mistakes in life; only lessons. What this means is that whenever something happens, there is a gem for you to learn from. If you can learn to accept mistakes, shortcomings, and unwanted events as opportunities for learning and personal growth, then you'll feel less stressed and fearful, you'll be more confident and self-assured, and your life experience will be more rewarding and fun. If you do something incorrectly or wrong, or you do something that makes you feel bad, you may get angry with yourself. Most of us have a habit of beating ourselves up mentally over and over again The fact is that when you make a mistake, there is a lesson for you to learn. Mistakes are gifts. They offer you the opportunity to explore an area where perhaps you are deficient, need additional knowledge or training, or need to reevaluate your approach. Perhaps you were rushing. Whatever the reason, if you take the time to explore what happened, you can learn what you need to know to correct. When you do something wrong or something doesn't quite work out the way you want, there are ways of managing it so that you learn the lesson, move on from it, and grow stronger in the process. By adopting these three approaches to life, you can learn to handle yourself gracefully and deepen your relationships with yourself and with others. Think of something you really like doing(hobby, sport..)

Every single person in this big world has a different way to spend the free time that has. Today everybody is busy, and it’s to difficult to have a free time for hobbies and things that we like to do. But, however, teenage years are perfect for that. Unless school and something like that we haven’t anything else to do. For that, every day I do some things like playing basketball for example. That sport I really like to watch and play, in that way I can spend more time with my friends and people that I love. Computer is my obsession too. I can’t imagine one of day in my life without it. I love to use internet ,like every normal person today, to do a different things like listening to music that I like, playing some interesting games and the most important –meet a new people and cheating with them. I can tell that this things are my hobbies, and I can’t live without them. What has been the best period in your life, and why? I think that the best period in my life till now is the presents. This period is the best period in everyone’s life. This is a period of fun, hanging out, parties, love, friends… and the graduation is near … there is magic in this period. Every day I’m feeling different but it’s kind of beautiful … also this is a period of first love, first disappointments … Stolen smile form your boyfriends face, soft kisses, warm hugs… sparks form life fire burning in our hearts… so, that’s why this is the best period in my life and I will remember it forever.

The room in our house **__I like best__** is our kitchen. Perhaps the kitchen is the most important room in many houses, but it is particularly so in our house because it is not only **__where we cook and eat__** but it is also the place **__where family and friends come together.__** I have so many happy memories of times spent there: ordinary daily events such as making breakfast on dark, cold winter mornings for children **__who are cross and sleepy,__** before sending them off to school,: or special occasions such as homecomings or cooking Christmas dinner. Whenever we have a party, people gravitate with their drinks to the kitchen. It always ends up the fullest and noisiest room in the house. So what does this special room look like? It’s quite big, but not huge. It’s big enough to have a good-sized rectangular table in the centre, **__which is the focal point of the room.__** There is a large window above the sink, looking out onto two apple trees in the garden. There’s a big, old cooking stove at one end, and at the other end a wall with a huge notice board **__which tells the story__** of our lives, past, present and future: a school photo of the kids; a postcard from Auntie Nancy, **__whose family have all emigrated__** to Australia; the menu from a take-away Chinese restaurant; an invitation to a wedding that we’re going to the next Saturday; a letter from a friend **__we haven’t seen__** for years. All our world is there for everyone to read! The front door is seldom used in our house, only by strangers. All our friends use back door **__which means__** they come straight into the kitchen and join in whatever is happening there. The kettle goes on immediately and then we all sit round the table, drinking tea and putting the world to rights. Without doubt some of the happiest times of my life have been spent in our kitchen. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">

However, being a child has both **__pros and cons.__** //(Advantages and disadvantages)// However, foe every plus there is a minus. **__One disadvantage is that__** (//For one thing),// you have to spend all day, Monday to Friday at school. Studying usually means you have to do homework and you have to take exams. **__Another point is that__** //(What is more),// you may have a lot of free time, but you are rarely allowed to do whatever you want. You usually have to ask your parents if you can do things, from going shopping in town to staying out late or going to a party. **__Finally__** (//Last of all//), although there are often cheaper prices for children, things are still expensive – and parents are not always generous with pocket money. There’s never enough to do everything you want. **__All things considered__** //(The reality is that)// sometimes there’s not enough to do anything at all! All seniors 55 and older are invited to a special meeting next Tuesday in the Senior Centre. The meeting will begin with cookies and lemonade. The speaker will be James Carter, the director of a nonprofits organization dedicated to making the golden years fun and interesting. “We have too many seniors who act old because they think they’re old,” said Carter. “Our goal is to help seniors realize that they’re as young and active as they want to be. Getting older does not mean sitting around waiting to die. It means getting out and doing all the things you never had time to do while you were working and raising a family.” Carter will identify the services and activities that are available to seniors locally and state-wide. Included are legal aid, tax advice, discounts for bus and taxi travel in the city, and free blood pressure testing on the first Monday of each month. Testing for diabetes and for cataracts is offered four times a year for a nominal fee. The city also provides inexpensive dinners called Meals on Wheels. Volunteers deliver these meals to seniors who are homebound because of illness or injury. , “you need to keep both your mind and your body active. An active mind helps prevent Alzheimer’s, and an active body helps prevent osteoporosis.” The finding wasn’t due to the fact that older people are more stoic or were taught from an early age to be content. The researchers found people older than 65 had not always been happy. It was being older that led to the contentment that many of them felt, The Post reports. Dr. Smith found that older people reported a larger number of health problems but tended to report far fewer difficulties overall — fewer financial, interpersonal and crime problems. The younger adults, Smith said, had less trouble with their health but had many more of the other kinds of predicaments, and those, in the long run, tended to trump their better health.
 * __One advantage is that__** __(__//On the plus side)// you have very few responsibilities. **__For instance__** //(For example)// you don’t have to go to work, pay bills, or do the shopping, cooking or cleaning. This means you have plenty of free time to do whatever you want – watch TV; play on the computer; go out with friends, play sports or pursue other hobbies. **__Moreover__** (//On top of that),// public transport, cinema and sports centers cost much less for children. **__In fact__** (//All in all),// being a child is an exciting, action-packed time in life.
 * __In conclusion__** //(To sum it up)// although some people see childhood as the best time in life, **__In my opinion__** //(I thing that)// children have no real choice, independence or money. Nevertheless, it is true that choice, money and independence all bring responsibility and restrictions – which increase with age.

So he called them to his bedsides and said, ‘My boys, I have an important secret to tell you: there is a great treasure buried in the vineyard. Promise me that you will look for it when I am dead.’ The sons gave their promise and **__as soon as their father died__** they began looking for the treasure. They worked very hard in the hot sun **__and while they were working they thought about what their father had said.__** They pictured boxes of gold coins, diamond necklaces, and other such things. **__Soon they had dug up every inch of the vineyard__** but they found not a single penny. They were very upset **__because they felt that all their hard work had been for nothing.__** However, a few mounts later the grapes started to appear on the vines. Their grapes were the biggest and best in the neighborhood and they sold them for a lot of money. Now the sons understood **__what their father had meant by the great treasure and__** they lived happily ever after. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"> 1. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 7pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Could you please send me your brochure and a price list?

How are you? I’m very well. I came __to__ Dublin two weeks ago __to__ study at a language school. I want __to__ learn __E__nglish because __it__ is a very important language.
