 problems of social integration  beilleszkedési problémák 

 Nowadays there are not so many differences between the rights and the jobs of a man
and a woman not like about hundred years ago! "n the past people didn#t like the idea
of a learning or a working woman because their task was to stay at home cook meals
care for the old and the children! $hey didn#t have so many rights either! %ater
women started to open their eyes and said it#s not enough and not fair against them!
$hey wanted to go to school and to work to provide their families and even themselves
a better life!
&o now a very big percent of the ladies are working but not just because they wanted
 but because they need
n eed to work to get enough money in the family wallet! &ome people
say it#s not good for the children as they got less care from their parents while they are
going into kindergarten and see their family only on the late afternoons! 'f course this
is hard for their parents too as they miss their children and can focus less on their jobs
while they are apart from each other!
$here is an other important problem about the working women too! (ust imagine a
company with two jobs which are perfectly similar with the same tasks same time
and everything is the same! )hen a man does it he gets let#s say four hundred *uros
 per month! )hen the boss decides to give the job to a woman she gets only three
hundred and fifty *uros for the same job even though it may be harder for her!

on and fight against their problems
problems which are basically
basically because they had
 borned as a woman and not a man! &ometimes it can be a really big disadvantage
di sadvantage for 
womem who are more careerists!
&ince there are women even in the hospitals and the army we showed the society that
we are not so weak! " consider myself as a little feminist since " got discriminations of 
who and what " am! ,eople don#t understand why " am single woman and almost
hundred percent of them asks me- don#t you want a child. )ell " can tell them that
nowadays that reuires some doing! "n my opinion before you#ll become a mother you
need to build your carrier! Not just your carrier
carrier your life! 0ou
0ou need to have determined
idea about your future!
$o talk about
abou t an other topic
topi c let#s see other cases! )hen somebody goes to a new place
p lace
and joins a new group of people a new society they have to fight with several
integration problems! *ven the colour of their skin can make troubles or their religion!
 Not all of the society are tolerant with differences and some of them have problems
with accepting new cultures or new attributions in their closeness!
$hat#s why these e1cluded people start to search for others who are they similar to and
make their own little societies like the different uarters in New 0ork- 2hinatown
%ittle "taly and other places! "f people like diversity so much on the shleves of 
supermarkets why don#t they like it on the streets.

*ven the overpopulation or the underpopulation can be a problem! ,eople want
 privacy
 privacy so they decide to live alone in a house or they want a big family
family but they
can#t live their lives in small flats both are problems! 'ne of my acuaintances said
that the number of your children is inversely proportional to your living standards! "
see the point in her words because when you have a child you may give everything he
or she could need but if you have two children you split your money into two and
now you can#t afford every need of your family! *ven the ancient 4reek people knew
these disadvantages that#s why they didn#t have so many children!
5nd in the not so wealthy families they try to help each other and to find the other#s
company so they start to move closer to each other! $his may be the beginning of a
slum! 5nd even if you were born into a place like this you can try to do your best to
learn and work as hard as you can as long as they see your address on your papers!
0ou won#t get the best jobs because the employers would give the jobs for somebody
else who may be less clever and intelligent but can show a better living environment! "
am conscious of this problem because " live in 67szárhegy and when " apply for a job
employers prefer somebody else who is resident!
*ven in 2hina the overpopulations
overpopulations has a very important
important role in the 2hinese
2hinese families#
lives! $hey are supposed to have only one child because the 2hinese society grows
 bigger and bigger each minute until not just the government but the *arth can#t
 provide enough things for their needs! $hat#s why
wh y the families with one child can get
g et
supplies and different aids and bill reductions! ,arents with two children are supposed
to pay everything and they don#t get anything from the government! "n families with
more children from the third kid they can#t even go to school and get educated! $his is
how the government tries to stop or at least reduce a bit the 2hinese overpopulation
 problems!
5ll in all people should solve the social integration and acceptance problems before
starting with the individual#s problems!

&ometimes we can make so different connections between us! :asically there are
 people who have a partner and there are people who haven#t! "f somebody is alone it
can be because currently he or she doesn#t have anybody or their partner died they are
divorced or they are separated which means that they are not divorced yet but they are
not living together! "f somebody has a partner they can be just partners lovers they
can be married be in an open relationship or be engaged!
"t mostly depends on what people want but sometimes there can be different obstacles
to be together with the person you chose like the distance or family problems or 
sometimes one of the partners is married and doesn#t want to get divorced!
"f we talk about partnership

 because of his job! $hen there he meets a woman who is from an other country but is

"f we think about a family different things can be brought up in our minds depending
on our own family or our ideas about a perfect or imperfect family models! *ven the
smallest chidren can plan their future families in the kindergarten!
$here are small families with one two or no children and there are big ones with
more than two children! $he number of the members can be influenced by the other 
relatives living with their children grandchildren uncles aunts cousins and so on!
*ven an unmarried couple can count as a family whether they have children or not!
*verything depends on our different points of view!
"n these days the family models are so familiar in developed and developing countries!
 Not just the father but the mother works too in order to insure a happier and better 
life!
 Nowadays there are not so many differences between the rights and the jobs of a man
and a woman not like about hundred years ago! "n the past people didn#t like the idea
of a learning or a working woman because their task was to stay at home cook meals

going into kindergarten and see their family only on the late afternoons! 'f course this
is hard for their parents too as they miss their children and can focus less on their jobs
while they are apart from each other!
5nd again career or children. "f a child is born who will stay at home to care for 
him/her. "t used to be the mother but in these days when everybody is in a shortage
of money people started to decide based upon their salary! 5n other problem is the
reputation! (ust imagine that both of the parents are beginner doctors! $hey have to
make a strong and reliable basis before they just pause it or give it up! 5 state+of+the+
art solution is that the grandmother stays at home because she can care about the
young ones as she also raised up her owns she is retired
retired and she gets money without
without
working not like her daughter who just started working and brought a baby to life at
almost the same time!
$he ne1t problem is the bringing up of the new life! 2lothing feeding educating
everything costs money e1cept for the love and the goodwill! "f you want to care about
your beloved ones and you do care about them it doesn#t mean that you can afford
everything
everything they need! 'ne of my acuaintanc
acuaintances
es said that the number of your children
is inversely proportional to your living standards! " see the point in her words because
when you have a child you may give everything he or she could need but if you have

F
two children you split your money into two and now you can#t afford every need of 
your family! *ven the ancient 4reek people knew these disadvantages that#s why they
didn#t have so many children because they were afraid of that they could not give the

countries such as in 5frica! "t#s not because they would be so wealthy or could care a
lot about children but it#s because they can#t afford medicines and the statistics of the
child mortality show deterrent numbers!
)hile in the better+situated countries the population seems more lowering! " think first
time marriages are later than they used to be generally! 0ounger people don#t see
much point in getting married earlier! $hey#re going to university starting career and "
honestly believe that they are leaving marriage and starting a family a bit later!
"n <ungary the couples don#t want to have a lot of children! "t#s not because the idea of 
a big family is not coded deeply in their genes it#s because they don#t even have
enough money to raise up just one child! $hat#s why the *uropean society is said to get
older while in 5frica "ndia and 5sia becomes younger!
younger!
5nd here comes the other problem the overpopulation! $his can be seen mostly in the
5sian countries

$his is how they try to
reduce the overpopulation and find a solution for the overgrowing society!
$here are seven billion people on this planet and all of us have different plans and

one opinion and some bad e1periences!
;irst you find out which is more comfortable and better for you living in a city or 
living in a village! ,eople from the city say that a village life is so much better as it is
less bright and much more silent in the nights people are not crammed together in

may be important in ones household!
5fter you took into consideration every little reason and decided where you would like
to build your house you buy the thing for the construction find some people who plan

you have had borrowed money from a bank for the house project make sure that you
will have enough money to pay everything back in time or the bank will take your 
 brand new flat and sell in on the price it wants just to get some money back!
"f you would like to rent a house or a flat there are also other things you should know
about! ;irst you have to look around and check some websites or estate agencies for 
available places! $hey can help you figuring out the best price and size for you then

I
they can give you some advice which one you should rent! 5gents can show you
around the houses which makes the decision easier whether you like the place or not!
"f you decide to rent the flat you talk with the owner and leave some deposit which
may be around 3 to @ months! "t is like an insurance against any damage you may
make in the house or its furniture!
'f course there are other costs in any case not depending on buying building or 
renting your place of living! 0ou have to pay for the gas electricity and water you use!
"f you rent a house the owner can decide if he or she wants to get the bills on your 
name or on their name and after getting the bills you pay for the owner! 5lso you
write a contract which is the evidence that you live there and you use the place!
5lso if you want a temporary place of living you can still go to a hotel or a student
hostel which is much cheaper but definitely not as comfortable and certain as a

$he other problem is the homelessness and it#s causes! $here are two main groups of

lost their homes because of something else like a natural
natural disaster

complicated there are a lot of 
advantages and disadvantages for both buying and building a new home!

$he first and probably the most important problem of the travelling and transportation
is the pollution! 2ars use fuel which is hard and costs a lot of money to produce and it
is harmful for the environment! )hile the cars are rolling on the streets they spew
their e1haust fumes with dangerous and polluting gases into the air! :esides it pollutes
the air destroy the ozone layer and through the steam in the air and the rain it goes
down deeply in the ground which is polluting the ground the water inside of it and
through the water and the dirt the plants and by the plants the animals and the
humans!
)e have to take this hazard into consideration when we are travelling anywhere
 because it#s
it#s not the same when there is a car with only one person or when you#re
going with two three or four people in your car! "t#s even more environmental friendly
if you use public transport! "t may not be the same comfortable as you won#t always
get enough personal space or a seat but it#s definitely less dangerous to your living
 place and for yourself! 0ou
0ou can even reduce the pollution if you go by bicycle or on
foot and it#s much healthier too!
" use different kinds of public transportation and from personal e1periences " can say
that it#s not always as bad as some people may think! Kuring the past ten years the
trains and the buses became much more comfortable clean and safe than it was a long
time ago!
$he problem about going by train or bus is that people can#t take as many bags and
 packages as they would like to they have to travel with strangers the stations may not
 be close to the place they want to get to! 5nd the timing is an other problem like when
you would have to arrive to your workplace at I-FB a!m! but the train station is in a 8B
minutes walk from the place the trains go by an hour and you can wait such a long
time if you go with the earlier train but you will be late if you choose the other one
an hour later! 'f course you may not choose public transportation because it is not as
clean and hygienic as your own car!
:y the way as we mention the cars we also have to think about the driving license
which people can get in <ungary after they became 3J years old or with parental
 permission at the age of 3I! :ut this is not enough if you have a driving license you
still need a car to go where you want! "f you get it you can go with anyone
anyone anything
and anywhere totally independent from anything! $he only things you should be
afraid of are the traffic jam and the accidents!

C
$o talk a bit more about the transportation not just the travelling there#s even a FB
kilometres
kilometres diet which is about that you are buying vegetables
vegetables fruits and any kinds of 
food you can if it has been grown or produced in FB kilometres zone around you! "t
again protects the environment because transporting food costs money time and fuel
which again pollutes the environment! $hings that we import from abroad can be a bit
cheaper but it definitely is much more harmful for the environment and the living
 beings on earth! 'ther important thing is the
t he organic gardening! :asically it means that
you don#t use any artificial and chemical things to protect your plants or make them
 bigger or grow faster!
faster! $his is again a good point why you should buy homegrown
vegetables and fruits from your nearest area!
:ack to travelling an other form of it is when people travel to see new sights
 probably in new countries or in new cities they#ve never been before or just to buy
things they wouldn#t get at home! ?y country <ungary is very famous for its cuisine
wellness centers spas and our hospitality! )e try to do our best and give the best to
our guests that one may give this is the secret of why the guests like to come back 
here year to year!
(ust for an e1ample lake :alaton is a very popular holiday destination because it#s
 big the food is nice the entrance+fee are low low the sun is warm and the summer 
weather is perfect here! )e hold very famous festivals which attract many people
from abroad like ;*L*N &ziget :alaton &ound the ;lower festival in Kebrecen all
in all we have very different festivals during almost the whole year for all ages and all
tastes! $his is a great advantage of our little but lovely country!
'f course the <ungarians like to chill out too so we are travelling to different
countries to see and meet the world! ?ostly we are looking for sea sand and hot
climate after the cold and windy but beautiful winter!
)e like the fairs and the markets and we organize them several times a year! ;or

)e get them by shopping! )e
)e can go to shopping
centers or small shops or we can decide to order something to our house and there are people whose job is to
deliver it!
0ears ago there were smart men in the industry who realized that people buy what they need in the best uality
they can afford! :ut what if their things have long lifetimes! <ere came the planned obsolescence! "ts basic idea
is to influence the people to buy a little better a little more e1pensive things a little sooner than they actually
need just to keep the industry working! $hey can do it in two ways- the first is that they make their products#
lifetimes shorter
shorter but just a little bit longer than their guarantees so they buy new things when some single little
tricks
tricks would solve the whole problemproblem like taking
taking out a microchip!
microchip! $he other way is to find out what the
customer
customer would like! $hey make lots of advertiseadvertisements
ments designs
designs which look better
better and cooler
cooler than the older 
ones and they take action and sale signs out in their windows as bait for the people!
*ven the product#s place on the shelf influences a single person in the shop- if something is in the height of our 
eyes we notice it sooner and think that it#s somehow better than the one on the bottom of the shelf which may
 be a bit cheaper
cheaper and sometimes better!
better!
:ut in these times we also have to think about the rate of the price and the value! $here might be some famous
 brands which are very e1pensive but may not know as much or last as long as a bit cheaper and less known
 brand! 5nd also factories try to compete with each other and the smaller ones are making thing with the bigger 
ones# logos! "t is called forgery! $here are some ways to find out which is the original because sometimes the
difference
difference can be very obvious but sometimes it#s
it#s very hard to distinguish them!
5nd there are the sales which attract many people to the shops! 0ou#d rather go into a shop which says on its
windows that you can buy a sweater for F dollars which would originally cost 3B dollars than into a shop which
offers thing for their original price! :ut there are even cases when the original price is what they write on the
 price tag as the sale price and the price they write as the original is just for showing people that now it#s
it#s really
worth buying it!
5nother problem of the sales it about the different
different kitchen clothing and other sets! 0ou
0ou may want to buy a pair of 
 jeans but if you go to the shop you find a shirt which matches it perfectly
perfectly of in the window
window you see a nice
 blouse with a jacket and as you go in you find out that it#s
it#s not a set you have to buy them separately! $he third
 but probably not last problem is the pay one and take two or maybe pay for two and take three sales! $his way
you can also be fooled! (ust see for an e1ample that you would like to eat some grapes but as you go inside the
shop you see that you can get three bo1es of grapes at the price of two bo1es! "n the beginning you wanted to
eat just some and decided to buy a bo1 but at the end you end up buying two taking three and throwing all
away to the garbage because you couldn#t eat all just a half bo1 and all the rest got rotten! $he sale sounds
nice but the results are not that great!
%et#s talk about the wrapping! "t can be a good feeling to see cute children playing happily on the bo1es of the
toys but does your child really need that e1pensive thing which would end up in the garbage ne1t to the grapes.
&ometimes just the wrapping inspires us to buy things because it looks good or you may think that yes one day
you may need it for something or even the bo1 can send messages to your brain Mbuy me buy me!
$hese things are all the cause why people borrow a lot of money for gifts around *aster 2hristmas and other 
holidays! "f we thing it over again that did we or the people whom we gave the thing really needed this or that
"#m sure we would find some things that were not so necessary to be bought!
" buy so manymany things

 ;a1 e+mail versus traditional letter writing ·;a1 e+mail kontra hagyományos

 less widely used languages ·  Nemzeti AkisD nyelvek kontra angol
vs! *nglish national cultures

 Nowadays communication is very important not just between us and our friends familyfamily etc! but between
companies cities and even countries! "f there would not be the "nternet the telephone or the letter there could
not be the big variet

holdd applia
appliance
ncess and other things in the shops
shops becaus
becausee the
companies are keeping in contact with each other that#s why we can eat bananas oranges and food like these in
<ungary!
$o help these great systems going there are a lot of interpreters translators and language courses available for 
everyone not just the kids in the schools!
$hese days almost everything we can write to somebody else from a single thank you note through a letter for 
an old friend to official documents are typed in the computers! "t is much easier because others can get our 
messages almost in a minute and don#t have to wait a week or so for a traditional letter to arrive! &ome people
say that it is not a good thing since it is less personal and alienates us from each other! :ut even if there would
not be the "nternet to send our messages there definitely would be less successful companies as the replies to
important uestions may arrive later or if there would something bad happen it would take at least one week to
send a message asking for help from the directorate for the subsidiary which would need some more money but
if it arrives later it might be too late and that part of the company may bankrupt!
5n other important thing about the "nternet is the fact that it is absolutely multilingual so everyone can use it
even if they don#t speak any other language e1cept from their mother tongue! 5nd also it gives e1cellent
opportunities to learn other languages because there are many free software programs and courses that are
running on the worldwide web which are available for everybody
everybody who have "nternet access! 'f course you can
even practice your language#s dialects and similar old languages which are spoken in other parts of your country
country
or may be in use somewhere else!else! "n addition you can still find languages which are on the edge of e1tinction or 
are already e1tinct but are still in use somehow
somehow like %atin! "n my opinion it really is a great thing because " can
speak on more languages with my international friends with the help of the "nternet since there are specific
translator programs where you can type something and the computer translates it in no time! >nfortunately
these resolutions are not always good but there can be found very nice programs on the "nternet!
*ven if your language is not as well+known as like *nglish or 2hinese you can still find your favorite websites
and pages on languages

$he e+mails

because the correctio

 because if someone#s
someone#s handwriting is not the prettiest everyone can read it
i t because it#s clear! 5 big advantage
/el7ny/ that if once you finished your e+mail the addressee /címzett/ will get it appro1imately /kHr9lbel9l/ in 3B
minutes independently /f9ggetlen9l/ from where he or she lives while if you write a traditional letter or on its
other name a snail mail it takes two days to arrive even if the person you#ve sent the letter to lives only 3B
kilometers away!
5lso there is an other solution /megoldás/ the fa1! $his is kind of like when you take a picture of what you
would like to show or send to someone and send the photo itself! $here are special kinds of printers which can be
used for scanning and fa1ing! 0ou put your sheet face up or face down inside of the machine then you send the
fa1 message to a phone number which is in connection with a printer and that printer prints your fa1 out! $his
way both of you the sender and the receiver /vev7/ will get a copy from the paper! "n <ungary the fa1 had no
long lifetime because the fa1 and the "nternet appeared /megjelent/ at almost the same time and people chose
the easier way to communicate with the others! &ending messages and documents with the help of the "nternet is
definitely much faster than in the traditional way but " can tell from personal e1periences that it is much more
less personal and kind! " have some penpals from other countries! 5nd it is very interesting they prefer snail mail!
" think it is so humourous to see handwriting habits of other nations!

,ersonally " don#t really like to go shopping the only store " really like is the bookstore! *very time "#m there "

$hese places have a lot of advantages like closed and climatized /klimatizált/ area /ter9let/ different shops to
fulfil /szolgál/ all needs and also if you get tired of wandering /vándorlás/ around all day you can find a place
to sit down and have a nice coffee with your friends or eat a good meal with your family!

"n my opinion it is a great idea to combine free time activity with the daily shopping when you go to a
supermarket to buy food for the dinner cleaning stuff /tisztítószer/ to do the housework and then you take a
stroll /kószál/ on the long passages /folyosó/ window+shop /kirakatot nézeget/ laugh with your friends and you

$hough /bár/ a lot of people like to go there not just during /alatt folyamán/ the week but at the weekends too
 but if we ask somebody who#s working there they definitely would say it is a hard work because they hardly
have any time to care for /foglalkozik/ their family! $hey have to work a lot each day to get a small amount

$en thousands or hundred thousands including me prefer to order and buy from the "nternet as it definitely costs

they can afford /nyOjt/! :ut what
what if their things have long lifetimes! <ere
<ere came the planned
obsolescence /elavulás/! "ts basic idea is to influence /befolyásol/ the people to buy a little better a little more
e1pensive things a little sooner than they actually need just to keep the industry working! $hey can do it in two
ways- the first is that they make their products# lifetimes shorter but just a little bit longer than their guarantees
so they buy new things
things when some
some single
single little tricks would solve /megold/
/megold/ the whole problem
problem like taking

out /kivesz/ a microchip! $he other way is to find out what the customer would like! $hey make lots of 
advertisements /reklámok/ designs /modellek/ which look better and cooler than the older ones and they take
action /akcióba lép/ and sale signs out /kiír/ in their windows as bait /csali/ for the people!
*ven the product#s place on the shelf influences a single person in the shop- if something is in the height of our 
eyes we notice /észrevesz/ it sooner and think that it#s somehow better than the one on the bottom of the shelf
which may be a bit cheaper and sometimes better!
)henever we would like to use the guarantee to get something repaired we need the thing#s warranty /garancia/
or unless /kivéve ha/ we won#t be able to hand it in /benyOjt/! $here are problems which can be solved /megold/
 but there are cases when we don#t have an other solution /megoldás/ just to buy a new one because it would
cost less time and money for us! )hile we are in time according /vmivel kapcsolatban/ to the warranty
warranty we have
three options- usually in the first three workdays if we have any problems with the product we show the
warranty and our newly bought thing let#s say a camera will be changed for a brand new one from the shelf! "n
the first one two or three months our camera will be sent to a head office /kHzponti iroda/ where if it#s possible
it gets repaired! )ith the clothes we can give them back and choose new things at the price of the piece we had

"n ancient times art was for reasons that are not at least similar to nowadays# sense! %ike the wall paintings in the
caves the arts were used to spread information share knowledge or collect memories to show them to others!
$hese days we mean theater dance film music writing and other methods of entertainment by arts! $he reason
why we turn to art is because we would like to rela1 enjoy something that we found beautiful or useful or the
artists would like to get some money with what they loves the most! )hat " can perfectly understand! ?y biggest
dream is to live off writing!
)e can see the moments of everyday life like clothing hunting eating child+raising food production or even
love and connections in the past on the paintings and drawings or hear about them in old songs! 5lso while we
are analyzing the old pieces of art we even can see the current beliefs /kHzhiedelem/ and facts that were there at
the time when the pieces were made! ;rom the 4regorian music we know that in the ?iddle 5ges 4od was a
very important topic from the cave paintings we know how our first ancestors /7sHk/ lived from the paintings
we know what were people wearing and from the buildings we can track /nyomon kHvet/ construction /szerkezet/
of the evolution and so on!
$hese
$hese days " would say that the arts# role /szerep/

/tárlat/ we think M)ell

dangers of global warming a globális felmelegedés veszélyei

 Nowadays is very rich in natural disasters such as earthuakes /fHldrengések/ wildfires /futót9zek/ hurricanes
and tsunamis! $o
$o the best of my knowledge two thousand and eleven A8B33D was the costliest year on record /fel
van jegyezve/ in terms of /vminek a szempontjából!/ property /ingatlan/ damage /kár/ referring to /hivatkozva
vmire/ natural disasters across the globe /világszerte/! (ust in the first two months of that year there were several
reports about billions of fish and birds found dead everywhere! $here also were a lot of strong earthuakes with
more than F!B magnitude!
$o talk a bit more about these thing with the viewpoint of a businessman the insurance companies were not in
such bad positions for long years! $he more catastrophes there are the more damage people have on their 
 property /tulajdon ingatlan/ and the more damages the insurance companies have to pay! pay! $his all can be
e1plained by the global warming of course which is a huge problem!
$o start this topic from the beginning " should e1plain what is global warming why it develops and is
harmful /káros/ for the environment! :asically /alapjában véve/ it was caused by the different gases the humans
 produce /termel/ with their factories cars burning and even with household appliances /háztartási eszkHz/ like
the refrigerator /hPt7szekrény/
/hPt7szekrény/ or even only with a simple deodorant /dezodor/!
4ases like ;reon start to devastate /elpusztít/ the ozone layer part by part and this is what should not happen!
$he ozone layer /ózonréteg/ is like an enormous /hatalmas/ bubble around the *arth and it is what keeps most of 
the gases like the o1ygen inside! 5lso this layer stops the dangerous ultra violet rays /sugárzás/ which can burn
the skin or cause skin cancer! )ithout
)ithout the ozone layer we would not be able to breathe to go out of the house or 
even to find a green
green spot /hely
/hely folt/
folt/ somewher
somewheree around
around because it prevents
prevents the planet
planet from /megakadál
/megakadályoz/
yoz/
drought /szárazság/!
:ut not everyone cares about it as the whole layer keeps growing thinner and thinner which causes serious
 problems as " mentioned
mentioned before!
$here is another important problem in connection with the ozone layer case which we should talk about too!
$his one is the global warming!
:asically it is when we produce several kinds of gases like carbon+dio1ide during a day and some of these
gases reflect /visszaver7dik/ from the ozone layer and get stuck /bennragad/ inside of it! 5lso it keeps the heat
/h7/ inside too! $his way the average /átlag/ temperature raises /megemel/ everywhere! $he conseuences are
the melting polar ice caps /az olvadó sarki jégsapkák/ and glaciers /gleccserek/ the rising sea and ocean levels
e1tinction /kihalás/ of animals and more and more species /fajok/ becoming endangered /veszélyeztetett/! 4lobal
warming is a very dangerous thing that we should be aware of /tudatában van vminek/ or instead /inkább/ we
will be able to swim in our back garden!
 Now we can#t always see its marks /jeleit/ but if we notice /észrevesz/ them like the snowless warm winter in
<ungary we start worrying! $his is the time when we should really talk about these problems and try to slower 
the process /folyamat/ because in my opinion it is already too late to stop it! $he only thing we can do is to
reduce the rising /emelked7/ amount /mennyiség/ harmful gases in the air use public transport instead of cars
use the renewable /megOjuló alternatív/ energy resources /er7forrás/
/er7forrás/ try to recycle /Ojrahasznosít/ instead of 
/ahelyett/ burning and burying /elás/ everything in our back garden and we can even reduce the deforestation
/erd7irtás/! :y cutting out all the rainforests we don#t just take away the habitat /természetes kHrnyezet/ from
various species /fajok/ of animals and plants but we reduce the natural cleaning of the air! "f we just cut the trees
out and don#t plant anything instead of in in a few decades /néhány évtizeden bel9l/ there won#t be enough clean
air in the earth#s atmosphere! 5lso the forest fires are dangerous and important too because they might damage
 people#s
 people#s property
property too!
5ll in all we really should think future of us and our Q because seeing the plants blooming /virágzás/ in the
middle of winter may be a heartwarming /szívmelenget7/ feeling but it#s hundred precent not natural!

5lso people who live in places where euthanasia is forbidden they invented /feltalál/ the Meuthanasia+tourism
which is about that they go to a country where it is legal and according to their wish they die there! $his is
another method for being free! &witzerland the Netherlands!

"n <ungary soccer /labdarOgás/ is definitely /kétségtelen9l/ one of the most popular sports besides handball
which shows increasing statistics! " would say that a very big percentage about JBU of the young boys play
soccer regularly and if we ask a little boy what would he like to become he would answer- soccer player! 5 lot
of boys practice it as their favourite activity during their scholar years but when they finish their schools they
give it up and find a suitable /testhez álló/ job!
&ome boys still keep running after their dreams and they become soccer players until they can! 5s a player you
won#t

because as a forty+year+

teacher and a team
would need your help as a couch /edz7/!
 ;or women it#s usually not the same though we really do like sports! $here are many e1ceptions /kivétel/ that
show we can be even better than the males! (ust for an e1ample the first <ungarian world champion in karate
was a female not a male! *ven there are the very famous chess+player girls the three ,olgár sisters! $heir father 
taught them how to play chess at a very young age and they become so great professionals that they and their 
father had to invent /feltalál/ other more difficult ways to play this black and white but not at all boring game!
5nd once if we talk about chess we should also mention some idiot sports like chess bo1ing! "#ve first heard
about it a few years ago! "t is made up of several turns one game of chess and a bo1 match! $he player who
wants to win has to be very fit both in body and mind!
5lso there is the so famous wife+carrying competition which was invented in ;inland as has the basic idea that
the husbands

5n other idiot sport which spreads /elterjed/ around the world with the speed of light /fénysebesség/ is the cell
 phone throwing! 0ou just have to toss /dob/ it in the air the goal is that it has to fly a long distance /nagy

5s this age is considered /megfontolt/ to be the age of information media plays a very important role in our daily
lives! $he television the radio newspapers and the "nternet are just a few e1amples of communication!
)hen we wake up in the morning we turn on the $R $R watch the news or the weather forecast /el7rejelzés/! )hile
having breakfast a lot of people like to read their favorite newspaper
newspaper and when they set off to work they turn on
the radio in their car! 5t
5t their workplace or after they got home they use their computers to surf the "nternet!
'f course we can#t
can#t stay out of the current political topics or not be influenced /befolyás/ by one of the parties as
every single form of media reflects /reagál/ the interests of one party
party at least! None of the tools /eszkHzHk/ of the
media can be considered to be objective though /bár/ we still keep using them as we form our opinion based on
our own ideas interests and needs not really on what others may say!
"n <ungary " would say that the most used form of media is the "nternet as it is available almost everywhere it
is fast and by the time /amikorra/ we get the daily newspaper in our hands there are already at least five updates
about the same topic we read in the morning! $he more people use the web to search for information the age of 
 printed news is about its end because we can choose what we want to be informed about and what is out of our 
interest! $hat probably is the reason why there is a significant difference in the number of newspaper ordering
 between these days and a decade /évtized/ ago!
$his is not the same with the $R as it was and still is very popular! 5s soon as we get home turn it on we can
listen to music watch a film or sit down in front of fascinating /lebilincsel7/ series! 5ccording to our own taste
/ízlés/ we can choose whether we would like to watch something on a public or a commercial /kereskedelmi/
channel! $he main difference between them is that the public channels run on the money of the government and
are mostly available for everybody while the commercial channels use the commercials for their living! $he
highest price of a commercial is at the time when a channel gets a punishment for something like the program
 proved /bizonyul/ to be harmful /káros/ for younger kids or the age mark /korhatár/ at the corner /sarok/ is not
good! "t has a psychological reason- when people hear that there will be a break at programs they switch the $R

seconds and minut
minutes
es are very
influencing /hatásos/ when everything starts again as people see those advertisements /hirdetés reklám/ first!
5n other great source /forrás/ of income /bevétel/ are the reality shows and other programs which are based on
the viewers /néz7/ votes! ,eople sit down in front of the screen and send te1t messages to keep their favorite
characters in the game or competition /verseny/ they are watching! &ometimes the money we spend on sending
those messages can be incredibly /hihetetlen9l/ much and this money goes only to the founders /alapító/ and the
show runs on /folytatódik/! )e should think about that it could me much more useful if we would send that
money to a charity /jótékonyság/ but as it#s a human habit we like to spend money what entertains /szórakoztat/
us not on things that would be good for others like orphans /árvák/ too!
5lso while we are await /várakozik/ the show to go on there are other long commercials which are usually very
 boring and annoying /bosszantó/ for an average /átlag/ person but this is the price of our favorite programs t o
run! Kuring the five or ten minute long advertisement /reklám hirdetés/ time we switch to an other channel and
watch the news which is usually about the bad things that happened in the world! )e rarely hear about the
opening ceremony of a new school or hospital because not everybody thinks it to be important but likes to hear 
more about natural disasters and other sad things like protesting /tiltakozás/ ended up in catastrophe! 5lso we
can#t hear a lot about the current political issues though it is sure that all of the channels writers and speakers
have their own opinion and tell the stories from their viewpoints /álláspont/ sometimes influencing our decisions
and feelings about the political parties!
)hen somebody decides /AelDdHnt/ to work as a writer reporter /riporter tudosító/ or editor /szerkeszt7/ they
have to participate /részt vesz kHzremPkHdik/ in different style classes and practice a lot of different styles! "#ve
heard from one of my acuaintances /ismer7s/ that she worked for a television channel for a short time and they
had to write articles /AOjságDcikkek/ in the styles of specific newspapers for practicing! "n <ungary
<ungary we can easily
tell apart which newspaper
newspaper website or $R channel reflects / reagál/ which political party#s interests! $hat#s
$hat#s why "
say there is no objectivity /tárgyilagosság/ and it can never be as people may try not to take their personal
feelings interests and thoughts in a report or an opinion+piece as hard as they can but yes there still is at least a
tiny /apró pici/ piece of it in their products!
