New Year Holidays!

Hello! Today I am going to tell you how I have spent my winter holidays! After really tough working days, people are happy to plunge into the magical atmosphere of the New Year! And I also felt free after hard weeks of tests! I just wanted to relax and spend time with my family.

Fortunately I had such an opportunity. I spent three weeks in Italy with my dear family. It was really amazing, because every day we enjoyed the wonderful weather and fantastic New Year atmosphere.

At New Year night we were watching a traditional Russian movie and eating Italyan delicatessen. More over we bought a small Christmas tree, because it created the atmosphere of the New Year.

Also in Italy we visited a lot of historical cities: Florence, Pisa, Verona and Siena. There we were walking along  ancient narrow streets and enjoyed the mountain scenery. And of course we visited some shops!

Mornings were my favorite things in Italy. Every morning I was drinking a coffee in a small, but very cute cafe.

Finally, I want to tell you that I loved these holidays very much, because I was with my nearest and dearest!

Should We Spend Money on Space Exploration?

 Humanity always evolutions. Every day in our world there appear a lot of  new opportunities . And one of the most important opportunities is   Space exploration. As you know in our world some scientists are exploring the space, and of course it is very expensive. So, there is a big question: should we spend money on space exploration?

Firstly, it is really a wonderful opportunity for all people, we need to explore other planets to ensure the survival of the humane race. Secondly, important scientific discoveries made in space can help us on the Earth. Moreover if we find a planet, where people can live it can solve some really serious global problems  and save  the population of our planet from dying out.

On the other hand some people think that it can be very expensive and the money could be better spent on the other things like  charity. Also it can be risky and space missions often fail.

In the end, we all have different opinions and this question is disputable, nobody knows the exact answer. As for me I belive that we should spend money on space exploration, because it can enrich our knowledge about the universe and our world.  

Essay " The Volunteer Work"

In our world there are a lot of young people, and some of them don't know what they can do. I have the answer! They can be volunteer workers. I really believe that all young people should try to do this work.

Firstly, if you are a volunteer it is a wonderful opportunity to work with people and help them! And if you do something good for other people, you can be proud of yourself. Secondly, voluntary work is a very useful experience, it can help you with your future job. Moreover young people contribute to environmental problems and should therefore help solve them!
On the other hand it is unfair to force young people to give up their free time. Also some people believe that this work can be dangerous for your health, for example if you work in Africa you can get sick, because the climate is not  favorable for living and there are lots of dangerous viruses.

In  conclusion I would like to say that there are people and people and you can choose what you want. As for me I think that  volunteer work is really a good opportunity for every one, it helps you to investigate your inner world. And in my future I want to try to become a volunteer.
