Do you think that children should go to school or be educated at home? (essay 2)



Although most parents agree that public education is better, most scientists say that school is beneficial in more ways. In my opinion going to school has more advantages than home education.
The main advantage of going to school is that children can communicate with their classmates. They become friends, socialize, exchange their ideas or opinions and this helps them enrich their knowledge and experience. These will be very important to them as they grow up.
Secondly studying at a public school is more productive. It brings about competitiveness among children and also teaches them to work as part of a team.
On the other hand studying at school can sometimes have disadvantages because some kids are shy and do not get along well with the others, staying isolated. Children who do not relate well with the others are often left aside or laughed at. This may create conflicts among classmates which are sometimes followed by fight.
One good point of home education is that children get the whole attention of their teachers and they are not disturbed by anything. Furthermore children who study at home are not tied to a certain schedule.
The main drawback of home education is that children do not socialize and have no one to compete with. Moreover they lack the enjoyment of being part of a group or work in a team.
To sum up, I believe public education has more benefits than home education.

HOW IS IT TO BE A STAR? (essay 1)




All stars say it is very good to be famous, but sometimes some disadvantages appear. In my opinion being a star has more advantages than disadvantages.
The first advantage of being a star is that all celebrities appear on TV and they are known by many people. They give many autographs and they are called to many interviews. Moreover all stars earn very well and they can afford almost everything. Furthermore most stars hire people to help them. For example bodyguards who protect them, make-up artists who take care of their look and designers who create fashionable clothes for celebrities.
On the other hand being a star can sometimes have some drawbacks. Stars are always followed by paparazzi who want to capture them in different postures and this makes them feel uncomfortable or even stressed. Additional stars are always asked to give details about their personal lives and they dislike that.
To sum up being a star has more good points than bad points.

AT THE MOUNTAIN

STORY 2


Last year I was with my friend, Sarah at the seaside in Mamaia, for a week.
one day we went together to the beach. We had put our towels on the gold, soft sand and wanted to enter in the crystal, blue water. The wind was blowing hard and there were big waves.
At first I was a little scared of the power of the waves which were coming to the shore but my friend pulled we by the hand saying it would be fun.
We entered in the water. We had adventured ourselves in the sea and we were jumping over the strong waves. Together we were swimming along them and did't realized that we were far from the shore.
Suddenly we saw a fish tail and we were very afraid. The lifeguard also whistled to warn us that we had passed the buoy. We listened to the lifeguard ad swam back as fast as we could.
Finally we returned to the shore weel and healthy after such an adventure.
I guess I will think twice before I take such a decision.

STORY 1


When I open the book a weird feeling put hold on me. People were wearing old fashion clothes and the atmosphere was like hundred years ago.
I woke in the middle of carrying an amazing wedding. The ceremony was outside in a wonderful place. There were chairs on both sides of a long red carpet. At the end of the carpet there were newlyweds. The bride was dressed in a white, log dress, with a bunch of colorful flowers in her hands and a beautiful hat with a feather. The groom was wearing a black tails, a light colored shirt with collar, a bow tie and a fantastic topper. They were so marvelous like fairy tales characters. All of the people were wearing vintage clothes.
On the street were galloping horse-drawn carriages and antique, convertibles cars. Everything had an old air.
Suddenly I opened my eyes and I was back in my bed with that book in my hand.
Traveling back in time was the most amazing experience.
