CRE 13: The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives.
From my point of view there is no person in the world, who has possibility to develop and prosper without communicating and interacting
with the other people. Today the words to negotiate and to live have become synonyms. I agree that quality of our lives depends on the way
we communicate with the others./ Communication skills  are essential for self leadership and to influence others. Poor communication causes
conflicts, loss of relationships, productivity and profit. Communication should be easy, but even when we all speak the same language and are
from the same culture - misunderstanding and confusion occurs. In today's global world with people from different cultures with different first
languages all working together the problem has been amplified. That’s why all people are interested in building good relationships. It can be
achieved only if we’ll be able to communicate with the others in such a way that they will start to respect us, to consider ourselves to be some
reliable, intelligent, well skilled and experienced people. Dale Carnegie was a psychologist who made a lot of discoveries about how we should
communicate with the other people, to become the best negotiators and to achieve good results in our business. Surely it will take you a lot of
time to study all literature that will learn you how to become a good negotiator but you will get use of it. It is well known that communication
works on those who work at it. To my mind communication should be as stimulating as black coffee and just enough not to sleep after. / The
quality of our life depends on our reputation but reputation depends on the way we communicate with the others. Take care about what and
whom to say and you’ll become a successful person/
CIV 22: What democracy means to you?
A democracy is government by the people in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a
free electoral system. In the phrase of Abraham Lincoln, democracy is a government "of the people, by the people, and for the people." I do agree with this
definition.

Freedom and democracy are often used interchangeably, but the two are not synonymous. Democracy is indeed a set of ideas and principles about freedom,
but it also consists of a set of practices and procedures that have been molded through a long history. In short, democracy is the institutionalization of freedom.
For this reason, it is possible to identify the time-tested fundamentals of constitutional government, human rights, and equality before the law that any society
must possess to be properly called democratic. To my mind democracy is the biggest value that people have, because without it we’ll be able just to exist, not
to live.
CRE 22: Health is like a song: your body is tone, your mind is lyric, ..and they all must be played in perfect harmony.
Nowadays a lot of people take care about their health and fitness and safety food become more popular. But why does it happens? To my mind because people
have finally recognized the health importance.// If a person is not healthy, then he or she will find it very difficult to enjoy life. Balanced food, fresh air,
exercise, good posture, plenty of rest, pure water, cleanliness, regular check-ups at the doctor and dentist – all help to keep our body machines
running as they should. If health is lost, everything is lost. If health is lost, the capacity to work is lost. Inability to work leads to poverty and misery.
For the common man, health is merely an absence of sickness and ailments. This view is narrow and one-sided. The term ‘health’ is much more
comprehensive. Good health is the state of all-round physical, social and mental well being of a person. Health is harmony between our spirit and
body that gives us possibility to enjoy life. The merits or the advantages of having good health can hardly be exaggerated. Good health is not only
important but it is also an essential ingredient for a happy life. Good personal habits go a long way in helping to acquire good health. Good habits, such as,
getting up early, maintaining personal cleanliness, temperance in eating, doing physical exercises, adequate sleep and rest, etc., are vital elements which help in
the acquisition of good health. // Health of body and mind is a great blessing, if we can bear it. Let’s keep our health and take care of it.
CIV 23: Write about the national symbols of Moldova.
There are three main national symbols of Moldova. These are the flag, the emblem and
the anthem. The state Flag of the Republic of Moldova is a tricolor blue , yellow, and red.
Blue symbolizes hope, Yellow means wealth, Red reminds us of the blood shed for
freedom. In Wallachia and Moldova the flag appeared for the first time in the first half of
the nineteenth century. At first, his colors were placed horizontally. The state flag of
Moldova was approved by Parliament in its April 27, 1990. The Coat of arms of Moldova
consists of stylized drawing of an eagle carrying a cross in its beak and claws tightening in
each of his feet, like hands represented, by a golden scepter and a green olive branch.
Breasted bird is protected by a shield with traditional symbols of Moldova: Bull's head,
looked at the front, the sun, placed between the horns of the stag, both on a red
background, symbolizing the day, there is a pentagonal flower (a rose) and the moon, both
placed on a blue background, symbolizing night. The two diamonds are arranged in the
separation of red on blue. Distinct elements of the shield are of golden colour (yellow). The
Shield emblem is made using three traditional colors of the tricolor: red, yellow and blue.
CRE 23: Education is an invisible part of the prosperity of the nation,
Every day, all over the world we may hear people saying that they live too bad because the
country is ruled by the stupid government and nobody takes care of them. But on whom
does depend on, the prosperity of the nation? To my mind it depends on us – simple
people.// But if the prosperity of the nation depends on simple people who are not pleased
with their lives and want to change everything ,why they can not make it? Yes, our
prosperity and welfare depends on us but we should exactly know what should we do and
how we can achieve our goals. These make education to be so important, because from my
point of view just educated and intelligent people are in power to make our lives a little bit
better. Education is that thing that keeps human society progressing. It promotes the
understanding of the world, aspect of life, social norms and multi-culture that help people
to adjust to the rapid
change of society, maintain national identity and unity, and keep the world in peace. It also
provides people skills to be well-prepared for employment. What is the most important,
education can eliminate many factors that cause social inactivity and poverty. A key to the
betterment of human society, education must be the basic service that most governments
are expected to provide to their people. Governments of all nations must put their great
effort to strengthen national education policy to ensure that their people of all ages can
access to an effective and practical education, due to it there is no doubt the more
educated and cultured people there are in the country, the more flourishing and thrifty the
country is.// Mark twain has said “Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a
jail.” I agree with him and think that where is no education there is no life.

CIV 12: Every nation has it’s own customs and traditions. Why people keep up and practice?
The same as each person has it’s soul, priorities, each nation has it’s customs and traditions. This things allow people to keep
the nation’s individuality. Keeping up the traditions and practicing them 4 centuries we show our respect to ancestors. Keeping
customs and traditions we also can improve the economy of our country, because it attracts a lot of tourists. In Britain
traditions play more important part in the life of the people than in other countries. Englishmen are proud of their traditions
and carefully keep them up. 4 example no letters are delivered on Sundays and only a few Sunday papers are published.
Another English tradition is that to this day an English family prefers a house with a garden and a fireplace to a flat in a modern
house with the central heating. English people like gardens very much. Gardening is one of the most popular hobbies in the
country. The art of gardening has a very old tradition in England. If u want to please an English person, be very polite about his
garden/ Customs and traditions are the major components of culture. Without them there is no identity to a nation.
CRE 12: Your time, energy, relationships and finances are your most valuable assets. Handling them wisely enchase your ability
to succeed.
Who is a successful man? To my mind it’s a person who realized it’s dreams, who is respected by the others and by himself. But
what should we do for becoming too such a kind of person?/ From my point of view we just should act correctly. I agree with
this statement and I think that the way how we spend our time, money, energy are the things our success and happiness
depend on. What’s about time, I think we should never forget how important it is. U should know that a person who thinks that
kills time kills itself. So let’s work hard each minute, day by day to realize our dreams and achieve the goals. We should not
waste the time and also we should not waste our energy. Pay attention just on important things and determine the priorities
correctly. We should spend our money just on the things we really need, because the money we will save we can invest in smth
and make much more money. Do not spend your time on stupid people and on those who will bake u to go backward. U should
communicate with those who will help us to develop mentally/. Some people dream of success while others woke up and work
hard at it. Success is our reward for efforts and hard work. U should act wisely and to choose the right way in our life
1 CIV: tourism is becoming increasingly important as a source of revenue to many countries but it’s disadvantages shouldn’t be
overlooked.

Tourism is a travel 4 recreational, leisure or business purposes . In the 21st century tourism has become a popular global leisure
activity. All over the world u can meet some tourists on your way. These prove us that tourism is very popular nowadays. Tour.
Influence the human life and has an impact not only on visitors but on locals too and it can also be positive or negative.
Doubtless tourism is important and in some cases is vital 4 many countries, such as France Egypt, Greece, Italy and others,
because it brings a great income 4 the state. It also has such important advantages as infrastructure
development/environmental protection/foreign exchange/development of health care systems and employment of local
infrastructure. Everybody knows that a city-touristic center is a city with good roads, water, electricity, telecom and cybercom
and other things that make the human life better. But at the same time these advantages are good and disadvantages are
bad. The close context of different cultures makes them to mix and this is the beginning of cultural destruction. Surely the
employment is increased, but it is only seasonal. The land is controlled by the elite – those people who have restaurants, hotels
and clubs. There are a lot of other advantages disadvantages and they all differ depending on the type of the tourist center and
country.//From my point of view the locals should decide to practice tourism or not but sometimes people have no choice.

1CRE: the way u treat yourself sets the standard 4 others.

Once upon a time Confutsi has said” we are not the others consider we are, we are those people we personally consider
ourselves to be” I agree with his quotation and moreover I consider these words to be the secret of success. I’m a simple fellow
but I do not trust in destiny –I trust in my power. I’m sure that I can change everything and reach whatever by my own. But the
majority of people do not consider themselves powerful enough to be independent on the others , to elect their own way and
all their actions are accompanied by such thoughts as” what the others will say? What they will think about me” To my mind
the only thing that is able to help us to get rid of such senseless thoughts and fear is self-respect. It allows us to be free from the
expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves. When a person respects itself other people notice it and start to act in the
same way. If they see that we respect ourselves than they start to respect us too. Also if we want to be respected by the others
we should not be some clowns 4 the society. We should know 4 100% what we want to obtain ,what goal we want to achieve.
Surely it’s much more easier to be a harlequin than the master of your life and if you want u can u can elect the easiest way 4
yourself and to remain downhill for the entire life. If u want to be respected by others the great thing is to respect yourself.
Only by that, only by self respect u will compel others to respect u.

CIV 14: What are the main values of European Union ?

 Political Values and Rights. These are largely in keeping with democracy worldwide, although the EU has particular
focus on matters of equality and non-discrimination based on colour, beliefs, religion, sexuality and gender.
o The Rule of Law: Politicians and police are both equal with citizens in that everyone must obey the law.
o Free Speech. Including the freedom to criticize government agencies and officials. But not the freedom to
incite others to violent action, to be publicly racist, or to damage lives with unfounded slander .
o Separation of the Powers. The judiciary, government, military, police, parliament and a second chamber of
parliament are all kept separate, providing the 'checks and balances' recommended by Machiavelli. 3
 Social Values:
o Equality and Non-Discrimination: You can't inhibit others' natural rights merely because you don't agree
with their actions. Race, color, sexuality and religion should all be non-issues, and ideally, no laws should
need to be passed with specifically mention these things other than to enforce equality. For example, the
Employment Equality Directive (2000). See "Special Religious Rights: EU Law" by Vexen Crabtree (2004).
o Social Security. Governments manage the economy and welfare systems so that everyone has a support
mechanism. A practical form of liberal humanism, this protects people against life's setbacks and grants the
social stability that much of Europe has experienced for the past 50 years.
o Protection from Corporate Abuse. Industries and commerce are regulated in order to prevent large-scale
labour abuse, price-fixing and other modern-day evils that have resulted from globalization.

Charter of Fundamental Rights: 

o Everyone has the right to life. No one shall be condemned to the death penalty or executed.
o Everyone has the right to education and to have access to vocational and continuing training.
o Equality between men and women must be ensured in all areas, including employment, work and pay.
o Workers and employers... have the right to negotiate and conclude collective agreements at the
appropriate levels and, in cases of conflicts to take collective action including strike action.
o The employment of children is prohibited.
o Everyone has the right of access to preventive health care and the right to benefit from medical treatment.
o A high level of environmental protection and the improvement of the quality of the environment must be
integrated into the policies of the Union.

CIV 14: Good manners aren’t natural and have to be taught. In today’s society u,,,

Each of us heard about good manners. But what does it really means and are they so important as the others use to think
about?/ To my mind good manners are just a way of showing other people that we have respect for them. Good manners are
the first mark of good breeding and reflect directly on a person’s upbringing. Tact, diplomacy and hospitality – all these are
based on good manners. Good manners are a set of behavior rules which mark someone as a civilized and cultured member of
a society, formal rules of conduct which are applied to a variety of situations. Manners are usually taught from a very young
age to educate an intelligent person, who will be respected by the others. From my point of view good manners should be
taught from the early childhood because the same as each of us children face up with rudeness and other things that make
people to degrade. Manners serve to children as a shield which protects children of all these bad things. I agree that all
students should be taught etiquette at schools because other way they will not be able to distinguish beautiful and ugly,
kindness and rudeness. Good manners may serve us right a ticket in whatever society because there are no people that do not
want to have deal with an intelligent person. Good manners, or behaving in a way that's socially acceptable and respectful,
display respect, care, and consideration for others. Excellent manners can help you to have better relationships with people you
know, and those you will meet./ Basing on all that I have said before I have maid a conclusion that good manners are very
important in human life. Take care about good manners and they undoubtedly will take care about you.

CIV 15: What are the major events of national and social importance which are traditionally celebrated in the USA.

The major events of national and social importance which are traditionally celebrated in the US are: Martin Luther King Day-
Civil Rights; 4th of July-independence day; Labor Day; Memorial Day; Thanksgiving day; Americans celebrate Martin Luther
King, Jr., Day on the third Monday in January each year. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., fought nonviolently for civil rights. He
dreamed not only of equal civil rights, but of true racial unity. Independence Day – July 4- the day of the adoption of the
Declaration of Independence in 1776, is celebrated in all states and territories. Labor Day- workers day is observed the 1 st
Monday in September in all states and territories. Labor Day was first celebrated in New York in 1882 under the sponsorship of
the Central Labor Union. Memorial Day, may 30- also known as Decoration Day. In 1868 Commander-in-chief of the Grand
Army of the republic issued an order designating the day as one in which the graves of soldiers would be decorated. The holiday
was originally devoted to honouring the memory of those who fell in the Civil War, but is now also dedicated to the memory of
the dead of all wars. Thanksgiving Day is traditionally a day for families and friends to get together for a special meal. The meal
often includes a turkey, stuffing, potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, pumpkin pie, and vegetables. Thanksgiving Day is a time for
many people to give thanks for what they have. Thanksgiving Day parades are held in some cities and towns on or around
Thanksgiving Day. Some parades or festivities also mark the opening of the Christmas shopping season. Some people have a
four-day weekend so it is a popular time for trips and to visit family and friends.

CRE 15: Write about the effect of a parent, teacher or a friend on your life.

To my mind you’ll find no person all over the world who have no idol. Someone wants to be similar with a pop star or with a
most known writer or scientist. I ,too, have an idol. This is my grandfather./ My grandfather Thomas was my first friend and
teacher. He was always near me in my childhood and approximately all good memories are associated with him. I have learned
a lot from my grandfather and to my mind he was the best man I’ve ever seen, because he had all qualities, a real gentleman
should have. Grandfather Thomas taught me to be kind, honest, persistent, intelligent also he taught me to love my family,
because it is the most important thing that people have. He always was for an example. He was an intelligent person who was
respected by the all people who knew him. Till then I started to dream about to become such a respected person as he was and
I decided to become as my grandfather was. My first book I read together with him and after it I couldn’t stop. Due to my
grandfather books have become my friends and I have obtained a lot of knowledge reading them during these years./
Grandfather Thomas made me to become a person as I am now and always when I achieve some good results in what I am
doing I remember my grandfather – my idol, my best friend, my first teacher.
CIV 16: What changes in present-day schools would u propose to make them more effective 4 educating pupils?

CRE 16: Earth Day should be every day

ED Is a day designated 4 fostering appreciation of the earth’s environment and awareness of the issues that threaten it. People
celebrate it at April 22 but to my mind we should take care about the Earth not only once per year but every day./ I think we
should promote ideas of ecology, encourage respect 4 life on the Earth. 140 countries try to make it at 22 April each year but
does it is enough to change smth? I don’t think so. The Earth is our home, a beautiful place we all love vey much. But it’s
beauty is disappearing. All over the world, starting with the town u live in, till up the ice sheets of Antarctica and vast deserts in
Africa u can see one pattern that is repeating – hazardous ecological problems. The human impact on the environment
nowadays is a negative one. We do not take care about ecology and nature. Cutting down the forests and killing animals we
think just about our personal welfare. In such a way we make the Earth to revolve not around the sun but around money. The
world has changed very much since those times when people lived in harmony with mother-nature and there is a lot work to do
for saving the Earth. It really wonder me how proud people get when they plant a tree, recycle some garbage or use less
electricity one single day out of the year. They are very proud of it but if they want to save the Earth they should plant not just
one tree but a billion of them. I am sure you will agree with me that only one day per year is too little to save the nature,
because we have too much work to do./ Yes every day should be Earth Day. While ED is a good day to concentrate on cleaning
up and protecting the environment, it is a practice that should be continued each day of the year.

CIV 17: What are the benefits of globalization 4 the average person?

Globalization influences human life and has an impact not just upon countries, big commercial companies but also upon simple
people’s life. / Globalization makes people all over the world to be closer to each other. It makes us to become a big family
where all members help each other. These caused a lot of changes in the human society. Globalization, having a lot of
advantages improved the human life and caused the economic welfare on the international level. Today each person can travel
free and choose whatever country he wants to live. In this way the problem of unemployment was solved. Globalization causes
the development oh health care systems, makes potable water, electricity, telecom and cybercom acceptable 4 all people. The
globalization of mass media made all news to be spread very fast through the world and made people to be informed about
everything that happens in the world and due to democratic press about everything the governors want to hide from simple
people. Globalization happens to be great for the country and the overall market economy because it promotes prosperity to
participating countries, and all people.

CRE 17: Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. F is in the sky, in the street…

I absolutely agree with Coco Chanel because to my mind beauty is not in the face, it is a light in the heart./ Leo Tolstoy has said
that in a man everything should be beautiful: the body, soul and thoughts. I think it is the secret of the real beauty and it was
the secret of Coco Chanel. Fashion and style is not simply a description of how well you dress or convey a sentiment through
articles of clothing. Fashion is also the way in which you interpret nature, what you perceive as beautiful and or how the world
appears around you. In a society dominated by materialism, the actual definition of fashion is shadowed and forgotten. Fashion
can be the current way in which you live, the business of creating or studying styles and finally the way in which you act. Nature
has its own fashion, it behaves in a way that it perceives as natural – the flowers growing weary each night, the birds puffing
and singing glorious little songs, the sky turning from pink to blue./ Fashion does not stops on clothing styles, it is much greater
and complex than that. Everything has beauty but the only one problem is that not everyone sees it.

CIV 18: Many British museums and galleries are real treasure-houses of unique works …

The UK is a country that has a great culture. IT has a full range of world class museums and art galleries with all the major ones
being free to enter.In the Museum of London there are 5 galleries and 7000 objects that transport u through the capital’s
tumultuous history from 1666 to today.

The National Gallery was founded in 1824 to house one of the greatest collections of European painting in the world. Paintings
range from 1250-1900.
In the Shakespeare’s globe theatre and the Exhibition u can see the reconstructed Elizabethan theatre.

The National History museum is home to a permanent dinosaur exhibition and boasts a collection of the biggest, tallest and
rarest animals in the world.

Victoria and Albert museum has one of the largest collections of arts and crafts including furniture, jewelry, ceramic and
textiles.

CRE 18: Give to the world the best u have and the best of the results will come back to u.

All people know that what we saw that we will reap. Everybody knows it but a few people really understand these words. To my
mind this folk wisdom teaches us that the world is round and everything we do returns back to us. / When we love people they
love us too, when we hate them, we also will be hated by them. And I am sure that if we give tot the world the best we have
the best of the results will come back to us. Albert Einstein said, “Only a life lived for others is worthwhile.” If we want to get
some good results, to achieve our aim we shouldn’t be lazy, because only working hard is possible to give to the world the best
we have: our kindness, honesty, love, diligence. Have you ever noticed those successful people who have decent lives in order
are also more active, involved, and generous with charity, church, and volunteer organizations? They find time to make giving a
top priority in their lives. The fact is your success is an outcome of how much you do for others. Your deeds have a lasting
impact, not your stuff, power, position or busy schedule. Successful people make more time to serve the others. Becoming
successful it is directly proportional to what you give. Some people give to get and I guarantee that you will get more in return
that you ever give. / Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and
you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

CIV 19: What components does culture consist of? Provide examples.

To my mind , culture consist of three components: language, customs and land. These components are found in everyday life .
The most interesting fact about culture is that all nations have the culture of their own. Daily activities, monthly celebration
and natural remembrances constitue the major component of culture, known as customs. If u go to church on Sundays u
participate in culture. Language is the sounds and written symbols that allow people to express their thoughts, their feelings. In
fact, language can be said to be major cornerstone of culture. Without language people can not interact, without interaction
there is no identity to a group. Nowadays it has become an integral part of social and economical life. The land is real bedrock
of culture because there is no culture without land. If people lose their land they become a survival culture.

CRE 19: the good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.

The good life is that, that each of us is dreaming about . But how this dream may be realized?/ Tom my mind the good life is
possible only than, when we live in harmony with the other people, the entire world and ourselves. Chinese people determined
the harmony as balance between evil and good. This seems we should really know how to live, keeping this balance. I agree
that the good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. Once upon a time my grandfather has told me that the
foolish people seek happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under their feet. I am sure that if a person exactly knows what
he wants to achieve, make some plans and do everything possible to achieve his goals, everything will be ok. The God does not
throw food into the bird’s nest and just by working hard we can have a good life. But also it is impossible to live without love. I
consider it to be the main thing in my life. For me love is equal with the peace in my family, it gives me the ability to admire the
beauties of the world, it is a source of energy that makes me to go further in spite of all difficulties and disappointments. / Love
and knowledge seems a lot with sun and water that make us to flourish and prosper and at the end to have a really good life.

CIV 20: name some environmental problems and give some solutions to them.
A variety of environmental problems now affect the entire world. As the globalization continues and the Earth’s natural
processes transform local problems into international issues, few societies are being left untouched by major environmental
problems. Some of the largest problems now affecting the world are: acid rain; air pollution; global warming; hazardous waste;
ozone depletion; smog; water pollution; overpopulation; deforestation. In fact, the environmental problems that have received
the most public attention are even worse than we thought- from destruction of the forests to melting glaciers in the Arctic.
We’ve got a lot of work to do. To my mind the 1 st thing we should make to change our attitude to it and to start thinking not
only about ourselves but also about the others. When the nature suffers, we suffer too. We pollute the Earth and that’s why we
have such a lot of problems. Man has been endowed with reason, with the power to create, so that he can add to what he’s
been given. But up to now he hasn’t been a creator, only a destroyer. Forests keep disappearing, rivers dry up, wild life’s
become extinct, the climate’s been ruined and the land becomes poorer every day. Let’s keep our nature untouched!!
CRE 20: Instruction ends in the school-room but education ends only with life.
To my mind the education is very important for each of us. But we also should not stop on it, because that’s not enough 4 an
intelligent and wise person to have just school or university education. The life experience is also important. That’s why I
absolutely agree with this quotation./ From my point of view the aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think ,
than what to think – rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load our memory with
thoughts of other men. The aim of education is to teach us how to use our knowledge and how to continue with self education
after graduating the school. For example Bill Gates, one of the richest men in the world, even didn’t finish the school. His secret
is self education. He worked hard by himself and got a lot of knowledge and experience. As a result he created Microsoft which
made knowledge to be available 4 everybody. Without focusing on education, u will find that your career choices are limited.
The best way to reach career, success is to map out a strategy and set goals. U should focus on things that u like, including
hobbies, talents, and interests and determine a career goal. Once u have an idea of what u would like to do, u will need to
create a plan or strategy to reach those goals. Surely we’ll get use of some knowledge we’ve fulfilled at the university but also
we’ll face up with smth new. That’s why without self education which continues after the school-room it is impossible to
accomplish career goals. / As a conclusion I would like to say that no teacher will make us to be really clever and successful. We
by our own are sculptors of our future and our minds.
CIV2: how would u describe your country or region and the people who live there?

I live in a small but very beautiful country. The name Moldova is derived from the Moldova river, which valley was a political
center in 1359. The origin of the name of the river is not clear. There is a legend of prince Dragosh naming the river after hunting
an aurochs, after the case his exhausted hound Molda drowned in the river. According to Dimitrie Cantemir and Grigore Ureche
the dog’s name was given to the river and extended to the principality./The Republic of Moldova is a state that is located in the
south eastern Europe. On the 29july 1994 the new constitution of Moldova was adopted. The nation is parliamentary republic
with a president as head of state and a prime minister as head of government. Moldova is a member state of the UN,WTO,OSCE,
GUAM,BSEC. Mold is devided into thirty two districts, three municipalities and two autonomous regions./ The largest part of the
nation lies between two rivers, the Dniester an the Prut. The population of Mold is 3.938.679 In Mold there are a lot of ethnic
groups, such as: Moldovans, Ukrainians, Russians, Gagausian, Romanians, Bulgarians, Romanian, Jews, Poles. Our people are very
hospitable and each of them may offer you very tasty Moldovan wine./ Mold is my motherland, a country I love very much and
each person who has visited it even once starts to love it too, because it’s really the best country in the world.

CRE2: the internet has forever changed the way we live.

Nowadays internet has a big value for all people. For me it too is very important. Internet helps me to study, to communicate, to
travel around the world and for this I even don’t need to went out from my room./ The xxi century is the era of globalization and
the internet is one of it’s instruments. Bill Gates has said: “The internet is becoming the town square for the global village of
tomorrow.” I agree with him because the internet made people all over the world to be closer to each other. It gave the
possibility to people to communicate freely and openly. If you want to be alone – you can make it with the help of the internet, if
you want to be an active member of the modern society you can also achieve this goal with the help of our common friend Mr.
Internet. Using internet you can find whatever you need because it is an unlimited source of knowledge. To my mind it has
become the world’s largest library, acceptable for all people. Internet allow us to buy goods by clicking one button. For a lot of
people it has become a solution of their main problem – unemployment. It’s possible even for a simple user to start an on line
business and make money if he has an modern and interesting idea. The internet is very big and powerful and day by day by
spending hours in world web we make it’s power upon us to grow up./ I agree that internet has forever changed the way we live,
because it has become an integral part of economic, political and social life.

CIV4: Do you think I is a dangerous thing to judge about a nation by existing stereotypes?
Stereotypes are generalizations, or assumptions, that people make about the characteristics of all members of a group, based
on an image (often wrong) about what people in that group are like. For example, one study of stereotypes revealed that
Americans are generally considered to be friendly, generous, and tolerant, but also arrogant, impatient, and domineering.
Asians, on the other hand, were expected to be shrewd and alert, but reserved. Clearly, not all Americans are friendly and
generous; and not all Asians are shrewd. If you assume you know what a person is like, and don't look at each person as an
individual, you are likely to make errors in your estimates of a person's character. stereotyping is dangerous because your
actions and/or behavior will be based on it. You may act racist/sexist due to your belief that all persons of this religion, culture,
race, gender, etc. are all bad or good. Such an assumption would not be factual but will serve as a hinderance for globalization.
All people have cultural differences but its important to understand those differences.
CRE4: Happiness is a value worth pursuing.
Once upon a time my grandfather has told me that the foolish people seek happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under
their feet. He always taught me that if I want to achieve my goals I should work hard because God does not throw food into the
bird’s nest./To my mind happiness is the main goal and dream of each person. People all around the world are different but
they all have just one desire – to be happy. For smb it seems to have a lot of money, for smb to have a good job, for others it’s
enough just to have a home and family. But surely , to get the things that we call happiness we should work very hard. People
take different ways seeking fulfillment and happiness. Sometimes they are not on our road, but it doesn’t mean that they’ve
gotten lost. When we do not find happiness we should not stop to look for it. We should go further and further, passing
through all difficulties. I am a simple guy but I do not believe in destiny. I believe in my powers. If you want to be happy be and
it’s no matter how hard it is to achieve this happiness, because it is worth pursuing.

CIV 25: How do changes in society influence people’s culture? What can slow down or speed up cultural development?

All human are sociable creatures and can not develop mentally and spiritually when they do not interact with the society. That theory is
supported by the majority of modern psychologists. The society has an immense influence upon each of us and the overage level of culture of
the modern society influence our personal level. Modern community is constantly changing and makes us to change too. Moreover we ought
to change ourselves because we should correspond to the society’s standards for being useful and successful members of it. But there are some
nuance: some changes can be positive and some negative. To my mind changes in financial and educational sphere have the biggest impact
upon human culture. These two spheres depend on each other, because when people are not educated their economy slow down, because
they do not have enough knowledge to make money. And on the other side, when people have no money they suppose their children to work
because of the poverty – when people have no money 4 food they do not think about education. In such a way people degrade. Basing on the
above mentioned ideas I can make a conclusion that the education is the main factor the level of people’s culture depends on. Children get
approximately 70 ???? develop there as individuals. Good education speed up cultural development and guarantee the welfare of our children
and prosperity of the nation.

CRE 25: If u could go back to some time and place in the past when and were would u go and what famous person would u like to meet?

If I could go back to some time and place in the past I would like to go to the UK to meet William Shakespeare. He was the world greatest poet
and dramatist. William Shakespeare was a person who discovered 4 himself the English soul and made the others to understand it too. He was
and continue to be the idol of the nation.// Shakespeare made complete use of the English language. There is no better way 4 a foreigner or an
Englishman to understand the richness of the English language than by reading Shakespeare’s works. I’m impressed by the British culture and
customs. If I had a possibility to have a talk with WS I would ask him what he consider to be the most significant thing for British people, what is
the most valuable thing in their culture. I think that his answer would help me to understand better the Englishmen mentality. Secondly I would
ask him why he started to write. How he could become a famous writer knowing only old Latin and old Greek. Such people as WS are genius
and they can share with us such knowledge that will help us to improve our lives and to keep up our culture.

CRE: What would u do to improve the world? Think of actions u could take to make the world a better place.

To my mind the world is an organism whose heart consist of cells called human and all together we form the world’s heart. Human society is a
thing the entire world depends on and it’s possible to change the human community just by changing the human community.// Somebody may
say that it’s impossible to change the entire society, to change each of us, and I agree with it, but from my point of view we have no need to
change the people, just to moderate their attitude to some things. I’m sure that people are in power to make whatever they want, that we are
in power as to destroy all around us and also to create smth good, beautiful. But there is a problem, a question which is very difficult to be
answered: how to change the peoples attitude to their actions, how to make an effective brainwashing? If I were in power to make the world
even a little better I would make three things I consider to be the most important for the world’s future. Firstly I would make people to
understand that we are a part of the nature and destroying it we hurt ourselves. People should understand that we should take care about the
nature because it takes care of us. Secondly I would teach people to be kinder to each other because having no harmony in our souls, being not
able to help each other we also will not be able to join together for making the world better. And the last thing I would do to improve the
world, I would pay much more attention on it’s future – on children. We, adult people, may start to improve the world but our efforts would be
insufficient and just our children depends on what would be further. They should understand the mistakes of their ancestors. For not making
the same faults by the

CIV 5: Choose one of the characters u remember well from your favourite book.

A book is one of the greatest wonders of world. You with the characters of the books can find yourselves in different countries
and have a lot of adventures. I have read a lot of interesting books, but my favourite book is «The Adventures of Tom Sawyer»
by Mark Twain. This book is well known all over the world. When I read it made me to remember my own childhood. The main
character of the book is Tom Sawyer, who lived in a small town on the Mississippi River. He was a boy with a wild imagination.
He and his friends often dreamed of different adventures. Tom was naughty, kind and brave. Besides, he was noble. I like this
boy because he teaches us to be true friends. Tom Sawyer remains Twain’s joyful ode to the endless possibilities of childhood. I
promise you are going to have a good time reading this book

CRE 5: People are often affected by their success and fame.


To my mind vice is one of the worst human vices because it makes people’s soul to rot. It change people very much in a very
short period of time and it’s very hard to make arrogant people to change themselves back. But where from does it appear
human pride? To some people success comes faster than they are able to endure it. Only strong people can achieve success and
keep it. Those who are a little beat weaker, facing up with success and fame can not resist and open for pride the gates of their
mind and soul. Those people start thinking about themselves that they are the best. Such people are sure that by themselves
the have achieved everything they have and forget about the people who were near them all this time, supported them and
helped them very much. In a short period of time pride people start to lose harmony in their families, they start to lose their
friends. They also lose a very important thing that can not be returned back – this is the respect of other people. Surely once
upon a time arrogant people will recognize that they were not right but it will be too late./ Success and fame negatively affects
weak people, making them to become more weaker and to lose everything they’ve achieved. Few people become famous and
successful and less people can keep the fame and success, but we should know that what will matter is not our success but our
significance.

CIV 7: Different countries having reputations 4 being good at different sports./EXAMPLES/

Nowadays there are a lot of different sports and a lot of them are spread and well known all over the world. Some countries
have achieved very good results, especially in different kind of sports and one even being associated with them./ In such a
way when we talk about capoero it’s impossible not to think about Brazil. This fight is very important 4 Brazilian culture because
this fight is the symbol of independence of the nation. It was invented by Brazilians in the ancient times when they were colony
of Portugal, invented by rebels who wanted to return back their freedom.
The UK has a very good reputation in soccer. As everybody knows they invented this game and that’s why Englishmen are so
good in it. Arabic Emirates also have a national sport. This is camel riding. They even invented special robots to ride these
animals. Hockey
Is the favourite sport in Canada and Russia. These two countries always compete between them 4 the 1 st place at the world
championship . Our country Moldova is famous 4 its K1 fighters who always take the 1 st places at the worlds contests. / The list
of such countries which have reputation of being good at different sports may be also fulfilled with USA and it’s football, China
famous 4 its USU and sumo/
CIV 8: Describe some things which are associated with the Scots.

When u think of Scottish Symbols, perhaps the thistle, tartan kilts and bagpipes come to your mind. Would u be surprised to
know that there are more than a dozen of different types of symbols that are an important part of Scottish history and culture?
Scotland is a country that’s literally overflowing with symbolism, and it’s incredibly rich in history and traditions. Scottish
symbols are about as wide and varied as u can imagine. They include plants, ancient Celtic designs, mythical creatures and
other. The Saltire is the official Scottish flag and has been in use 4 over 500 years. But the symbolism of it’s design is much
older , dating back to the 9th century. And why such a particular design was picked to appear on the flag of Scotland is explained
by a legend. It’s believed that Andrew, who became the Patron Saint of Scotland was crucified by Romans in Greece, where this
diagonal cross was more commonly used. The Scottish Thistle probably is one of the most well known symbols of Scotland, and
is widely used to represent Scotland at home and around the world. A legend surrounds this symbol back around 800 years. The
legend describes how, in the 13th century, Norse invaders attempted to spring a night-raid on king Alexander the 3 rd army. One
of the Norse stepped on thistle and cried. Than Alexander’s army woke up and won the battle. Around in one form or another
4 centuries, the bagpipe is most famous 4 it’s association with Scotland. The traditional Great highland bagpipes have a
sheepskin air bag with five ebony pipes./ Scotland is an old country with interesting history, beautiful culture and a lot of
symbols which are a part of it.

CRE 8: We are using up the Earth’s natural resources faster than ever.
The Earth is our home, a beautiful place we all love vey much. But it’s beauty is disappearing. All over the world, starting with
the town u live in, till up the ice sheets of Antarctica and vast deserts in Africa u can see one pattern that is repeating –
hazardous ecological problems. The human impact on the environment nowadays is a negative one. We do not take care
about ecology and nature. Cutting down the forests and killing animals we think just about our personal welfare. In such a way
we make the Earth to revolve not around the sun but around money. The modern society depend on such natural sources as
gas, wood, oil and that’s why human tend to get more and more of it. The number of people is constantly increasing and each
day we need more and more natural sources. Nowadays the economy of such countries as Russia, USA, Arabic Emirates
depend on energetic industry. That’s why these countries try to stop the development of alternative sources of energy. But that
is the most known that the sources of oil and gas that remained on our planet will be finished in 150 years and it may hurt very
much the world’s economy. I think that people should not forget that we too are a part of nature and to live in peace and
harmony with mother-nature is much more better than to kill it 4 money. Look at the trees, look at the birds, look at the clouds,
look at the stars... and if you have eyes you will be able to see that the whole existence is joyful.  Everything is simply happy. 
Trees are happy for no reason; they are not going to become prime ministers or presidents and they are not going to become
rich and they will never have any

CIV 9: interesting facts about the British royal family.

The Royal Family’s reign spans 37 generations and 1209 years.


 All of the monarchs are descendents of King Alfred the Great, who reigned in 871. The illustrious historical
antecedents include Henry VIII (who created the Protestant Church and beheaded two of his 6 wives), and
Elizabeth I, the Virgin Queen, under whose rule England prospered in the Golden Age.
 Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Phillip, are distantly related. They both
share the same great-great grandmother, Queen Victoria.
 The current reigning family invented their own surname. Originally, the family went by the name of the House
of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, but phobia of the name sounding too German meant it was dropped. Instead, the surname
Windsor was adopted during WW1. Queen Elizabeth then sanctioned the future descendants to be dubbed
Mountbatten-Windsor, combining her husband’s original family name.
 Queen Lizzie likes to be called “Your Majesty” or “Ma’am”, even by close friends
 The Royal Marriages Act of 1772 means no member of the British Royal family is allowed to marry under the
age of 25 without consent from the monarch
 The Royal family disliked US President Jimmy Carter because he kissed the Queen Mother on the lips at their

 The Queen’s daughter, Princess Anne, competed in the 1976 Olympics in equestrian.
 Prince Charles wife, Camilla, is the descendant of Alice Keppel, a former mistress of Charles’ great-great-
grandfather, Edward VII. The trait runs in the family since, incidentally, Camilla was Charles’ infamous mistress,
which led to his divorce from the beloved Princess Diana.
 In 1936, Edward VII abdicated the thrown to marry a twice-divorced American socialite, Wallis Simpson. He was
succeeded by younger brother, and Queen Elizabeth’s father, King George VI.
 In 1992, Prince Charles was recorded telling his then mistress, Camilla, that he wanted to be her tampon.

CRE 9: a good reputation is more valuable than money.


So said Pubilius Syrus, a writer of maxims in the 1 st century before Christ. And recently it seems that the two concepts
have become even more closely linked. But does the ancient philosopher was right or not?/ Too often in our capitalistic
society we place too much emphasis on financial achievement and too little on the things that have moral value. To my
mind a good reputation is far more important than the size of our latest paycheck. The reputation and a good name are
to be above riches. We chase after many things in life and we often de-value and under-invest in relationships which
should be our priority. But we should recognize that, living in XXI century – the era of globalization, our personal
development, welfare, business and those things we chase after depend on the way we cooperate with the other
people. But it is impossible to have good relationships with the others when they do not respect us. Everybody knows
that 4 a person with a good reputation all the doors are opened, because when a person we need to be helped by
knows about our good reputation and also knows that the other people respect us he will agree to have a deal with
such a reliable and smart persons as we are. From my point of view the reputation is like a currency which is much
more valuable than money, because it can help us to resolve all our problems just by making a call phone and talking
with a person who may help us with it.

CIV 10: What famous people of the USA are u impressed by?

There are a lot of famous people in the USA, who are well known all over the world and have played an important role in
development of the modern society. My idol is an American automobile manufacturer Henry Ford. He revolutionized the early
industry with his low-priced Model T, produced by assembly-line method. Henry Ford was not the first person who built an
automobile. But he saw it’s potential importance : as he said” everybody wants to be somewhere he isn’t” Ford’s dream was to
build an affordable car. The 1st car produced by the Ford Motor Company in 1903 was sold within a month. Ford became the
majority stockholder and president in 1906. The model T Ford, of which 15mln were sold at a price that many Americans could
afford, was the automobile that changed the pattern of life in the US. His model T Ford and assembly-line method made a
revolution in the automobile industry.

CRE 10: Leisure is time 4 doing smth useful.

The human live on the Earth during a lot of thousand years. In comparing with this term our life is too short to make smth
significant 4 the entire humanity or 4 the country we live in./ To my mind if we want to manage to do something useful to
make other people not to forget us after our death we should use each minute of our life. The leisure time also should not be
wasted. Doing smth useful, developing mentally we give ourselves possibilities to realize all our dreams. Aristotle has told: “ we
give up leisure in order that we may have leisure, just as we go to war in order that we may have peace”. I agree with the Greek
philosopher because just by ourselves we decide how to spend our free time: to work or not to develop or to degrade. From my
point of view Leisure means just a chance to make smth that demand attention. The free hours in our lives may be used by
ourselves to invent smth new or to dream, other words to create new goals and try to achieve them. Leisure time may also be
used to develop our soul – to help other people or simply to read the Holy Bible./ I would not change my leisure hours 4 all the
wealth in the world, because it’s the only time I can freely develop myself from to get pleasure from what I am doing.

CIV 11: Why do u think the English language is taught in many countries of the world?

The XXI century is the era of globalization when countries and people all over the world are much more closer with each other
than some centuries before. Such close relationships makes us to cooperate with each other and as usual English language is
used 4 it. Over 600 million people speak English as a first language, with over 580 million speaking it as an additional language.
But what makes English an international language? It is the official language of the United Nations . It's the most widely used
language in science and on the Internet. If two non-native speakers want to communicate, it's likely they'll do so in English.
School educate new generations that should continue to develop the process of globalization in order to improve the life of the
entire humanity. With around a billion learners of English worldwide and growing, teaching English as a second language is one
of the 21st century's major career opportunities, offering unrivalled job security and opportunities to travel to every corner of
the globe. To my mind English language is one of the most important things the globalization depend on and this is the reason
why it should be taught at schools and universities all over the world.

CRE 11: A heart that loves is always young.

What is love? To my mind it is the biggest power that does exist. Love is a symbol of eternity.  It wipes out all sense of time,
destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end. / I think that there is really no person who may say that love is
unimportant. Albert Enstein has said “Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.” I agree with his quotation and
moreover I think that the time also has no power upon those people who love. Love gives to people strength, vigor, energy and
enthusiasm. Love is such a big source of energy that gives to a person who really loves power to overcame all difficulties, to
realize all dreams and to achieve the main aim of each of us – to be happy. When we are in love we start to see those things
we’ve never noticed before: the beauty of nature, kindness, we find out that the life is beautiful. Sometimes love make us to be
mad but this is a madness that everybody dream about, because when love is not madness it is not love. A person that loves
lives in harmony with the entire world. Living in harmony we create an invisible shield that protects us from sins and other
things which make our heart and soul to degrade, to become older and at the end to die. A baby is born with a need to be
loved- and never outgrows it. Loving and being loved we become older just physically but a baby inside us does not grows up./
To my mind we are not loved because we are beautiful but we are beautiful because we are loved. Love each other and u will
be happy and always young.
Essay 1 A round the World Trip

Many people try to see more in their life, to travel and to gain energy, to feel the energy of the
time, to feel it...

So, a special place in our life has travelling. It is a situation that needs a special preparation, and
a well-thought route. Nothing should be done in a hurry, you must think very well what things to take
with you, to plan you itinerary and to be ready for it.

If I win a round the world trip, I’ll take the map in my hands and looking at it, I can start my
imaginary trip.

I leave the house quickly and go to the bus station, from there I take the first bus to Romania, to
Bran to see the Bran Castle, and to listen one more time the Dracula’s legend. Going south I will get
quickly to Bucharest to see the Parliament Palace and after that in a hurry to Alba-Iulia for “the desert” –
Piata Revolutiei. So going to Western Europe, almost all the countries are on the list, but only a few
points of interest like: Eiffel Tower in France, Zeus Palace in Greece, Bundesthag in Germany, ONU head
office in Switzerland, madam Tousseau’s museum and Big Ben in the UK, the tower from Pisa, the old
Venice and get to Spain at haiku time.

From Lisbon taking the plane to NewYork to feel the real American life, and after that with the
bus directly to Washington to see the main offices of American democracy, the Smithsonian’s museums
and maybe to have tea with my old friend Obama , after that going to Las Vegas to gamble a few
hundreds, to feel the spirit of players and to visit Hollywood. After, I’ll take the ship for a cruise around
South America – Colombia, Peru (Machu Pichu – the first civilization), Chile, Argentina, and get finally to
Brazil to see the Carnaval. After a week I’m taking the plane to Japan to eat sushi, to see a few research
institutions, to see sumo fights and to meet a real samurai.

The next is China with its sweet rice and great Chinese Wall, and going further for a week to a
kung-fu school for meditation. Taking a ship to Turkey to see the market and to drink a cup of Turkish
tea.

And taking the plane from Istanbul I’m getting back home, my plane is landing, I’m getting off
the plane and feel the smell of Motherland in my lungs, you don’t even imagine how I missed you.

Now I’m going back to Soroca, and the road seems to me so strange, so different, but so short,
and finally… “home, sweet home”…

Essay 2 Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be…
For every person his country is a sacred place. It is the place where our close people live, where
we spent our childhood, got our school education, learnt our culture, traditions.

That’s why our country is very important for us. We must not betray it when we go far away.
We must be proud of our country, we must praise it’s culture, defy good traditions and the beauty of
the country and people.

A real patriot is proud of his country, and also he is worried about it’s future. If he leaves his
country for some reason, he will remain a patriot anyway.

I know some people who left Moldova and remained good patriots of it. They send money for
orphanages , monasteries, they are talking with pride about the beauty of our country, its culture, great
people, and also sometimes they write articles and books about them.

Most of people say that life in Moldova doesn’t depend on them. But they are wrong. If we have
an active position in our society and also in political life, we can change something. Before voting a new
government or a new president, everybody must analyze all facts and information and make his choice.

We all can do much for the environment of our country. We can be volunteers to clean our
streets, parks and bank of the river. People should stop dropping litter everywhere, cutting trees. If
everybody plants flowers and some trees near his house our country will be a better place to live!

Also we must prove that we aren’t indifferent for what happens in our country with the society.
And so we can contribute to a better life for people in need . For example : we can work in different
centers , and help old people or handicapped people.

I think that our country is full of different people because the nation is divided, half patriots and
half traitors, and no man can tell who is who. However I can say that I’m trying to develop feeling of
patriotism in my soul, and I think that I’ll succeed. I was born an Moldavan, I will live as a Moldavian, and
I shall die as a Moldavian!

We must not be indifferent to all that surrounds us, and try to make the world were we live,
better and better day by day. We must live the life after the device : „My Country! When right keeps it
right; when wrong, sets it right! ”

Essay 3 The Impact of Human Activity on the Earth.


Human activity influences our environment very negatively. People damage the nature, pollute
the ground, water, air, throw waste material into our atmosphere . Every year our planet becomes more
and more polluted.

Traffic fumes destroy trees, and plants. They are also dangerous for people and animals. More
and more trees are dying in parks and orchards. Besides people cut down many forests that are the
major source of oxygen for the air we breathe. If we continue cutting and destroying trees, our planet
will become lifeless.

People all over the world speak about endangered animals. In Moldova these are roes, foxes,
wild boars, also from birds – pheasants.

Chemical fertilizers also pollute ground, water and endanger animals that feed on plants.
People also take some of these chemicals into their bodies when they eat plants or meat.

People must stop polluting their own planet. They must take different measures to save the
world from pollution, stop throwing litter everywhere. All nuclear experiments must be limited.
Recycling of material can help to solve the problem with wastes and litter.

I hope there will be more restrictions and penalty measures against those who pollute the
environment and the ecological situation will be better.

Essay 4 The influence of Modern Technology on Society.

Modern Technology plays a very significant role in our society. It entered in every aspect of our
life. We use different techniques and technologies at work, at home, in the street, in services.

We can’t imagine our life without techniques and technologies. Different machines replace
human jobs, help in communication, calculations, entertainment.

Using mobile phones we can always keep in touch with family members, conduct business, have
access to a telephone in case of an emergency.

Computers and Internet helps us receive any information we need. E-mails that we write to our
close people come in no time. Computer is the greatest wonder of our time. It has become an
important part of our life. All schools, offices, factories, hospitals, most homes have computers.

Our life differs greatly from the life in the past, thank to modern technologies. But it didn’t
become better and simpler.
Techniques and technologies pollute our environment, damage people’s health. Radiation from
mobiles, computers, TV-sets cause cancer. Another problem of modern technologies is that we are
becoming dependent on it more and more. We are becoming lazier, lead more sedentary life. People
drive more cars than walk, speak more over phones than meet friends, watch more TV than read books.

In order to avoid negative influence of modern technology we must limit the usage of it, and be
less independent on it.

Essay 5 What features of English/American education would you like to introduce into the
system of education in Moldova?

School education in Moldova is very well- organized. Children go to school at the age 6 or 7. The
state provides all children with free education that is divided into 3 stages : primary school, gymnasium
and lyceum.

In primary schools children get very serious rudimentary education. At the end of primary school
children pass their first exams. In America and in England primary education is much easier and children
don’t write any tests and exams.

On finishing of gymnasium stage children can go to colleges or professional schools. They also
have to pass very serious exams. They are educated in all subjects. These are the strongest points that I
admire in our system of education.

But there are some features of English and American education that I would like to introduce
into the system of education in Moldova. In England and in America the scores are written on the tests
and not in the catalogues just for students to know their mistakes. Students never cheat during tests
because they are more interested in their knowledge than in their scores. Pupils in Moldova fight more
for good scores in their certificate and diplomas because they enter in universities according to their
scores.

I would change it. There must be entrance exams in universities from Moldova again where
school-leavers could confirm their knowledge. I would also take some features of American Educational
System where student must learn much by their own.

Essay 6 Parents are the best teachers


Everyone is affected by certain events or individuals that greatly change their life. There are
many people that have had an impact on my life and influenced me in many different ways.

My parents , however, have had the biggest one, they influenced me more than anyone else.
They have had an impact on me since the day I was born, and they still do it today. They have supported
me, given me necessary criticism, and taught me a great deal about how to live my life.

I can say that I totally agree with the statement that Parents are the best teachers. However
home is the first and most important school where parents are the teachers and children are the
students. If parents want good children they should become first the best teachers. Parents should first
become the ideal for their children. Children can be ideal if parents give attention to their children since
childhood. Parents should always give good teaching to their children.

For me my they are the best teachers, they taught me how to walk, talk, and among many
other things hopefully distinguish right from wrong. They taught me to believe in God, they develop my
good faith.

For a good, intelligent, well mannered and decent child first of all, parents are the best
teachers. The reason behind this is that teaching starts from home. If the base is strong then good fruit
will develop.

I thank God for this gift - my parents. I know that my life would not be the same without their
influence. And it is because of them that I am the person I am today.

Essay 7 “Health Is the First and the Greatest of All Blessings” Lord Chesterfield

A perfect lifestyle can mean something different from a person to another. In addition, some
important factors should be considered to have a healthy lifestyle, such as eating, exercising regularly,
and getting enough sleep at night.

First of all, eating healthy food is important for our health. In my view people who eat healthy
food , have good stamina to do hard work. Food gives energy to us. Therefore, if a person who eats food
which has vitamins, proteins, iron and other important nutrients then he or she will be protected from
diseases. People who have no diseases can enjoy their life and take interest in their work. A good mind
can be developed if people eat healthy food. Therefore, I would like to say people should not eat food
only to fill the stomach but for the development of good health.

Exercise is another key ingredient in maintaining a healthy well balanced lifestyle. Everybody
should exercise a minimum of 3 days a week for a minimum of about 20 min. This does not mean that
you have to impose a strict regiment of exercise into your daily schedule. An easy way to attain a nice
amount of physical activity would be to begin going for walks or jogs with your pet or your
neighborhood friends. Everyone wants to feel good about themselves, by doing exercises or workouts
you can achieve a healthy body figure, as well as feel good about yourself.

I think that our health is in our hands, we want to be healthy, we will make something for this,
but if we stay in waiting for health, it doesn’t work. Our health depends on us.

"Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live." - Jim Rohn

Essay 8 Studies Abroad

Many young people dream about studies abroad but not everybody knows what difficulties can
await them in a foreign country. They imagine the enjoyable life full of adventures, exciting parties, only
successful exams and everything granted for them. They don’t think that in a foreign country they
remain aliens, have different language, culture, mentality. Besides, they will be far away from their
families and close people. If they have problems they must solve them alone.

Accommodation and study abroad cost much money. Many young people have to work in order
to pay for everything. Only few of them are allowed to work. Most of them work illegally and get a lot of
troubles.

There are good chances to study in our country. There are good universities, colleges where
good specialists are prepared. In many universities the education is accepted in all over the world. You
can learn English perfectly there because specialists from America and England teach in these
universities. If you are an excellent student the University of Moldova can send you to study abroad.
There are many competitions for study in prestigious European or American Universities where
students can study for free and everything for them is secured.

It would be a great chance for me if I won such a contest. I plan to study at the State University
in Chisinau but if there is such a possibility to study in a foreign University for free I would be very
happy. But first I would prepare for it. I would study the language, the culture of the country, and then I
would go there.
Essay 9 The Importance of Museums in the Cultural Development of a Personality.

Museums play a very important role in the development of culture, education, moral laws of
people. They keep history, art alive.

If you are interested in one particular subject you can find a museum about it. There are Art
museums, Railroad museums, dollhouse museums, Nature museums, museums devoted to history or
the history of a certain area. There are many, many other types as well.

For people who love paintings by very popular artists, but are too poor to buy a painting, Art
museums are probably the only chance they can see an original.

Museums are popular tourist activity. When we travel in a country, visiting a museum we can
learn better the history, the culture of this country .

I have been in the museums of every city where I had a chance to travel and it made my
travelling very interesting and funny.

Because of their significance for the society most museums are not for profit. They are
protected by state.

Many museums organize exhibitions for schoolchildren for better learning. Such exhibitions are
not only informative but also interactive.

I think museums have big future. I imagine they will be able to become the true centres of
research and education, they will also examine the changes in the society and in the environment. The
people who want to work in a museum will have good career and interesting life.
Essay 10 Should Good Friends Have a Lot in Common?

Friendship is a precious thing that we have. It’s a gift that God gave us to keep it in peace. My
personal definition of what friendship is, is a feeling or emotion expressed in such a way that another
feels wanted and important, a relationship between a person or persons where everyone has some
companion to talk to when he/she is in need of one.

An ideal friend is the friend that can tell you the truth that your face is dirty for example; it’s the
person that knows almost everything about you; it’s the person on who’s shoulder you can cry on, you
can share all your problems and joys. An ideal friend is the person you can always rely on for anything
no matter what. Is someone who is always looking out for you, a friend must be someone you can trust
and who trusts you , because friendship is mostly based on respect and confidence.

Real close friends must be everywhere together, and have a lot in common. Because when they
had different interests in the life, their ways in life will be separated. Friends must be together in the
bad and also good times. Spending time one with another and understanding where they are coming
from is a good base of friendship. Many people do not often realize the intense relationship that one has
with a friend until it is lost. So the writers advice is to treat ones friends the way one would want to be
treated.

I think that is the greatest thing to have someone close to spend the time with, besides our
family. I have such a friend, and I’m very thankful to God for this . I wish that all the people should be
friends, and live the life in all its beauties. And everyone must memorize that we have less friend that we
know and more than we can imagine.

Essay 11 Life is a silent village versus life in a large modern city.

The life in different places has its advantages and disadvantages. And everywhere a man can be
happy if he leads a healthy way of life and has the occupation he enjoys.
There are more chances to get good education and to find a god job in a big city, but there is so
much stress and competition there. In a village the main job is farming and taking care of animals . It is a
hard job but it is healthy. Farmers are strong, breathe fresh air, eat fresh food, live longer than people in
a city. The air in a big city is polluted because of smog, heavy transport, dust, industry. That’s why
people in a city are very unhealthy, and even high-developed medicine can’t resolve the situation. City
dwellers enjoy the big variety of shops, restaurants, theatres, museums, concert halls. You can have very
exciting life and many possibilities for your entertainment. But everywhere in a city there are crowds of
people and it is very noisy there. The rush-hours are awful.

In comparing to a city the life in a village is very quite and unsafe. Many city inhabitants don’t
have many friends and even don’t know their neighbours. People in a village are like a big family, they
know and keep each other.

I don’t know where I will live. It’s definitely that I will study at the University in a big city, and
perhaps I will find a job there. But I know that I will have a small house in a village where I will be able to
rest, to enjoy the nature, to plant fruit and vegetables. Farming occupation will help me stay healthy
and physical fit for long years.

Essay 12 Honesty

One day I wanted to do something unique and I decided to be honest with everyone for the whole day…
Essay 13 Should one make an important decision alone?

It is important in life to make right decisions. We have to make decisions any minute. Some
decisions are significant and others are not very significant. But sometimes unimportant decisions can
influence our life greatly. For example if you decide to cross the road when the traffic lights are red you
can get into an accident.

Everybody should be able to make decisions. But not everybody can make a right decisions, if he
doesn’t have enough knowledge and experience. That’s why it is good to ask for advice people, who
have more experience than you. Every child must tell his parents about all his problems and ask them
for advice. Parents are responsible for their children and must take part in making of their decisions. But
when children grow up and must take very important decisions in their life parents can give them
advice but they must not influence their decisions. When a person decide to choose a profession, a job,
a partner to marry, his decisions must not be based on his parents’ opinions. Grown-ups must make
their own decisions and be responsible for them. They can listen to the advice of other people but keep
their opinion. If you want to make a right decision, you should take all facts into consideration, analyze
them and foretell the results of your decision.

My parents always help me to make a decision, we discuss all facts together, discuss our
opinions. We respect the ideas of each other even they are different. But I am learning how to make my
own decisions in case I go to the University and don’t live with my parents.

Essay 14 Stress – positive and negative sides of it.

Stress is a bad feeling of anxiety that is created when we react to particular events, tough
situations. It is the pressure of life with conflicts and troubles.

It has more negative sides than positive. Because of much anxiety and overload people can stop
sleeping, eating disorders can develop different nervous illnesses can appear. Many people get
depressed or aggressive and may take their stress out on other people. There are some positive sides of
stress. Feeling a little stress before your exam can motivate you to study better. When you overcome
stressful situations you get very useful experience and become more strong-willed. It is difficult to
overcome stress but every person must learn how to do it. Stress-management skills will help you keep
stress under control.

You should be realistic in everything. Realize that nobody is perfect and everybody makes
mistakes. Remain calm and cool-headed in every difficult situation. At the same time you should be
optimistic and believe that everything will be fine. When you have stress learn to relax. Have activities
that are calming and pleasurable. Read a good book, make time for a hobby, spend time with your
friends.

Although I get stressed very quickly. I always try to control my emotions. I learn to solve
everyday problems calmly and with optimism.

Essay 1 The best film I have ever seen.


Our world is very different, and people also are different one to another. And of course
everyone has his pleasure in different domains of art.

One thing specific to people nowadays is watching TV, or something else. But a big part of
people nowadays like to watch films a lot.

Like each other person from our big and magnificent world, I watched a film which
impressed me greatly. It was, it is, and it will be my favorite ″Bridge to Terabithia ″. Once I watched this
film together with my brother, and it was areal special moment.

It’s the exhilarating and heartwarming fantasy-adventure about the power of imagination
and the magic of friendship.

Tired of being bullied at school and neglected at home, Jess Aarons and Leslie Burke escape
into the woods, where Leslie opens Jess’s mind to the amazing kingdom of Terabithia. It’s a secret land
there they reign supreme among the giants, ogres and other fantastical creatures they create. As their
imaginations soar and their friendship deepens. They discover how to rule their own kingdom, fight the
forces of darkness and change their lives forever.

I think that it’s a thoughtful and extremely affecting story, I like it very much, for me it’s the
best one. It’s a kind of children’s movie rarely seen nowadays, but only one thing surprised me very
much, it was the Leslie’s death. It was an unexpected moment, and it’s the most thrilling. And finally the
boy realized that he loved Leslie very much.

That’s why I think that this film is a wonderful heart-wrecking love story for twins, teens and
even adults.

That moment when I watched the film was unforgettable. And my opinion will ever be the
same, that film is a fantastic story with a real end. Because in reality is the same thing: after a wonderful
life, we all will die, isn’t so?

Essay 2 With or without school uniforms

″The tendency of modern civilization is to make the world uniform


Let the mind to be universal. The individual should not be sacrified.″

From long time ago, people made their life in their Own style, with their own power and
capabilities. But there are such a word like ″fashion″. It rules the world indirectly and this fashion is like a
religion with a lot of parishioners. Today blue, yesterday pink, tomorrow yellow, and everybody
worships to fashion law.

But for reducing the fashion power and not to permit to influence different fields – there are
such things like uniforms. Uniforms are used in industry, schools, churches, economics. In different fields
are not really uniforms, but only a kind of.

That’s why, many schools, use to introduce a school uniform. In modern literature it is an
idea, that only elite schools use for their students uniforms.

But nowadays a lot of schools use to do it. There many people against and pro. First,
children can be against, because many of them only like this and could show themselves. Other children
can be pro because of the fact that their families can not allow to buy different stuff for them to be in a
step with ″fashion″.

Also a pro idea can be that children wouldn’t discuss each other instead of learning and
thinking about more important things.

The uniform means education, power and in the end supremacy. The uniform means life.

Essay 5 Why should people speak English?

People all over the world speak a lot of languages. People in France speak mostly French,
people in U.S speak mostly English, people in Moldova speak mostly Romanian. But there is a language
that unite all the world, which is of course English. People always ask themselves why do they need to
know it, why they should speak it?
It seems today that English is taking over the world. In many countries it’s a national
language, but there are many other countries which are starting to use it. For example, in oau country
there are many universities even offers English second language classes, so, we foreigners also can learn
English.

In this way there are 2 kinds of people: people who speak English, and people who want to
speak English.

There are many reasons why people must speak English. The first I think that like English is
the most wide spread language in the world, it persist everywhere, in all areas. The second is that in our
country it’s still spoken and integrated in the school programs. Massmedia also came to us from abroad
in English. That’s why we must know the English language.

Especially for teenagers, we, which want to go to explore all the world, how we would do it,
if we don’t know this language, which is the most spread in the world

People will always communicate through talking as long as we are alive. Old languages a
dying, and new are being created. English just happens to be widely used through the world.

It has different dialects, which sound different, but it’s still the same language. If you don’t
speak it, let start to speak it together.

Essay 6 Young people often have problems with the elder generation.

Youth is a very important period in the life of man. This is the time when a person discovers
the world and tries to determine his place in the universe. Being young means romance, love, new
discoveries and so on. Also it is the most difficult time from life because you have to make some very
important decisions, which will influence all your future life.

Young people have a lots of problems which don’t differ much from those that once their
parents had to deal with. Every generation differs one from the another, through experience of life,
ideals and a system of values.

So, in a such way very often appear conflicts between generations. Many of young people
have conflicts with their parents. Young people became more revolutionary and they often critize their
parent´s conservative lifestyle. They state that they don’t have enough freedom, that parents mustn’t
inquire too much into their bussiness. They don’t like when their parents criticize their friends, clothes
or hairstyle.
On the other hand, parents and generaly older generation think that teenagers are
impolite, irresponsible. They don’t study enough and have bad marks. Then they complain that youth
generation don’t respect older generation and that they don’t think about their future. They are lazy,
and listen to a deafening music and wear an awful clothes.

And in a such way appear the generation gap. I think that generation gap can ever be
bridged. Sometimes older generations can share their experience to the young, and also the young
should not be too impatient when older people teach them what to do, what to wear or how to think.
Both sides should be patient and tactful and it's the only way to settle down all the problems and stay
friends. Tolerance is the only way to bridge the gap of the generations.

So, as you see, it is very difficult to be young nowadays, as, need, it always was. But you only
can be young once, and some wonderful things can happen only when you're young. So, enjoy youth
while it lasts.

Essay 7 To choose a profession is not easy

“I think it's imperative to follow your heart and choose a profession you're passionate about, and if you
haven't found that "spark" yet, if you're not sure what you want to do with your lives - be persistent
until you do.”

Steve Kerr

Here comes a very hard period of our lifetime. In a half of a year we will finish the high school
after what we should choose a university to continue our studies, and that moment would become the
most important in our life, in that moment will take the most important decision in our life – we will
choose a profession.

This decision will follow us the rest of our life, that’s why we should think about it very deeply
and carefully and to take a decision that is more closer to our lives, to our hearts and our ideas.
To choose a profession is like to take one apple from a bunch of apples, from which we choose
the one we like the most and consider that it is the tasty.

A very important role on this decision have our parents, relatives, friends and not in the last time
our teachers. We must listen all of them and at the final to take our own decision. We should consider
all the pluses and the minuses of each profession that comes in our mind, and finally to choose that one
that in our opinion has less minuses, or don’t have them at all.

From statistics we know a few oppinions by what the professions are choosed: the position it
brings for the person in society, the salary we can obtain from it, our attitude on it, the number of
people the work process includes and different others. It is very important to understand which of this
we need the most, which of them are closer to our soul, or for the aims in our life…

Essay 9 How to avoid doing wrongs.

″We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn
and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most
progressive. ″

C. S. Lewis

The question is of course interesting but all the same is a difficult one.

From the early childhood our parents try to teach us how to differ good from bad, and to
avoid doing wrongs.

Everybody know that teenagers often answer back to their parents or teachers and that
deeply offends the adults.

The most difficult time for the pupils are from 13 to 15, the ages when they think that they
are already grown ups and don’t need to be taught how to behave. But in reality they act impulsively
without thinking of the results.
Taking into consideration the agressivity of the teenagers, their tendency to unite in groups
and do wrongs, is necessary for adults to be kind of them, speak to them as to equals, try to convince
them not to do wrongs.

A good helper is that is to keep the teenagers busy, going in for sports, find a part day job
for the summer and others activities.

Anyway the problem is not easy, but it can be solved by mutual understanding.

Essay 10 Christmas – an old tradition that should be kept or a big business for the
industry?

From centuries, Christmas is considered by Christianity, the most important holiday of the
year. It was and it is a holiday when all the people by different faith celebrate the God’s Birthday.

In Moldova, Christians have different customs for this holiday. Usually people in villages cut
the pigs, make different dishes from it, also the housewives make different bakeries, and with this they
make the holiday excellent. Also we have a special cookie, which is called dove, and it’s very delicious.

And in a such way every country has it’s specific customs, has it’s personal style to celebrate
this holiday.

Christmas is a perfect holiday, and it’s a perfect time to meet with all the family at round
table. And then we celebrate our God- Jesus Christ.

But there is a problem now in our times, everything has changed, people forgot that this
holiday means, and what we must do, when it comes.
Nowadays people try only to benefit from this. It seems that somewhere along the way, the
holiday message has been lost, and replaced by the materialistic attitudes. Christmas has now become a
massive marketing event where companies can advertise their products as a must have Christmas gift.
And of course that children will demand it from their parents.

People also have changed. They think that if they will buy more and more, it will be the best
Christmas Day. But it’s not the perfect idea. Christmas means trust in God, not in all this things which
they buy.

It will be good to see the old traditions return and Christmas to be celebrated for the right
reasons, not as a commercial opportunity. Making these occasions more prominent, it would be a good
way to enhance people’s Christmas spirit and for them to realize the importance of the holidays.

Essay 11 What is European Union impact on the cultures of the nations living in Europe.

“Globalisation, which benefits only multi-national companies and takes away all sense of local
or national pride and identity, is the biggest threat facing all the member states of the EU.”
Steve Blake

European Union is one of the most important organizations from the world history. It
includes almost all the countriens from Europe, and almost its whole teritory. In the same time
with its development, many of nations evolved to a new powerful entity named European nation.

But the name of an “european” is just a signature on peoples personality and ideas,
because they remain the same, they have the same values, they respect the same rules. Beside
European Union is more than fifty years old, it is a to less period of time for changing, cause
each nation has its own culture, its own principles and ideas of life for centuries.

Theorettically all of this nations became a group, they became a family, they have even
the same history now, but like in a big family each person has its own characteristics, exactly the
the same fact is here.

The most important thing is that people now have more rights, more space for living,
more possibilities to express themselves, on state level we can notice the fact that intercultural
exchange became easier. Now, it is one stable big economy, that would help any of its members
in case of need. In this field we can mention that the change of national bills and coins, that
represent the history and the values of a nation, to the new unique european coin – euro, made a
very deep hole in nations culture, but in the same time it made their economy stronger.

So, like every changing in this world, European Union became an important factor in
developing and establishing of world history…

Essay 12 Success changes people- what do you think?

Usually nowadays we heard from different sides that Success changes she or he. Many of
people are surprising when they heard it, but it’s true. Success often changes people, but of course not
all . There are such people which aren’t influenced by it, it depends of the people’s type. It is a quotation
which proves that idea, it’s said that ″ Money and success don't change people; they merely amplify
what is already there″ Will Smith. It is the truth, even if it’s painful.

Generally "success" means the achievement of one's aim or goal. It is often used or
conquest on the desired. When one attains a goal or success, it gives happiness or fulfillment, a
satisfaction or contentment. Success is a joy of completion. People who achieve their goals are
frequently termed "successes" as well.

How said Albert Schweitzer ″Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to
success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.″ This Happiness is very big, and often it is
very seducting. It can change you in a such way, that after that you can’t believe that it was you, and you
was doing such things.

Usually success changes people in a bad way, they think that they are superior on the
others, and make different unpleasant things. But they mustn’t be so cruel with others, because nobody
know what can happen tomorrow. Tomorrow can be a different situation, another person can be more
successful than you, and can treat you like a slave.
So, we mustn’t change in depending of success, because God see everything, and He will
make The Big Judge on us. Be yourself, and you’ll have only to win in life, and you’ll be Successful…
There is a poem which I like very much, and which idea help me in my life:

It’s a lesson you should heed,

Try, try again.

If at first you don't succeed,

Try, try again.

Essay 15 Plans for my next holidays.

“Celebrate the happiness that friends are always giving, make every day a holiday and celebrate just
living!”

Amanda Bradley

Everybody loves holidays because during our holidays we can relax and have fun. We get
enough time to travel, play our favorite sports and practice our hobbies.

Look! Christmas is coming. It will be my next holidays. It’s my favorite Holiday, because its
part of different religions, there are Christmas carols, and because it brings families together.

Usually I spend this holiday at home, together with my family. We all are at a round table,
and we eat different dishes. Also, we are singing a lot of carols, and we have fun. Also we play different
games, and finally we give each other gifts. I can’t say that I love this holiday because I receive a lot of
gifts, but I like very much this holiday spirit. Especially Christmas.

Also I like very much to prepare for this holiday. I like when I decorate the Christmas tree
together with my father, when I prepare different dishes with my mother, and so on.

I can say that holidays give me power, and I felt myself very satisfied. So, Celebrate the
holidays, it’s worth.
Essay 16 Essay about home.

There is one wise saying ″East or West, Home is best ″. I fully agree with it, and I think that
for every person home is the most sacred place in his life. It’s the place where he was born, where his
family and friends live. All close things of a person are linked with his home. Only at home we can find
love, care, support and understanding. Our home will never betray us.

Our country is also our home because our mentality, culture and traditions are connected
with our country. When people move to other countries they remain strangers there for a long time.
They must adjust to another to another culture and customs, loosing theirs.

A lot of people blame their country, they seek for a better life abroad, but when they come
their they get disappointed and want to come back. Instead of leaving their country they would rather
try to make the life in their country better and do something for your country.

Everybody must be proud of his country, because he is the part of it. We usually make our
home a comfortable place, clean it, plant trees, flowers near it. The same way we must make our
country a comfortable and clean place. The life in our country depends on us. We are responsible for it
like we are responsible for our home.

And so we must take care about our home with love and attention , because there is a
saying which said that “A house is made of walls and beams; a home is built with love and dreams.”
Essay 15 Art is long, Life is Short.

Art is everything what human fantasy have created. Art shows the development, the history
and the culture of society. Art includes painting, sculpture, architecture, literature and people’s craft. In
art people express the ideas about beauty, love, life, they tell about their feelings, emotions,
experiences.

Art has great importance for people. It educates them, develops their culture, tells about the
past, shows the real beauty, brings new ideas. We admire the great works of literature, architecture,
people’s craft, music that were created thousands years ago. They remain actual nowadays, too. So we
can say that life is short but art is long.

Art works keep a lot of mysteries. Archaeologists find art works of ancient civilizations and
according to them, they get to know the history of ancient people. For example studying the drawings,
the scriptures of different ancient nations, people know about their imagination and religion.

I enjoy visiting different exhibitions of art that tell me about my country’s culture. When I am in
Chisinau I always go to the Art Museum where they always have new unique collections of pictures and
drawings. Various constant and temporary exhibitions attract many Moldovans and tourists. I admire
the paintings drawn by a remarkable Moldovan artist I.Vieru . His pictures are true to great traditions
coming from ancient time. In his pictures he shows great mysteries of Moldova’s nature. Everybody can
see his picture in the Art Museum in Chisinau.
