Sharks are known for being one of the biggest fears of the majority of people.

Humans often associate

them with danger, death, and blood. But, in reality, sharks represent relatively little harm to people - in
fact, the threat is the opposite, since we kill over 100 million sharks each year.

Anyway, the number of people who are fascinated by these predators is increasing every month.

While many people think diving in shark-infested seas is insane, others are ready to spend a lot of
money to encounter sharks. That is why a lot of "cage diving" spots sprang off in Africa a few years ago.

Considering the pros and cons of such diving, there is a need to say a few words. As I mentioned before,
bad associations with shark are fiction, influenced by different factors. But in fact, these animals don't
even consider humans as food and are peaceful. So, the main advantage of cage diving with white
sharks is that it will help people change their minds about shark.

On the other hand, most tour operators use chum and other ways to draw sharks to their boats. As a
result, there's a chance that as the shark tourism business grows, sharks may begin to link people with
food, which is a terrifying prospect for surfers, swimmers, and divers alike.

Now, I may conclude, that such an experience is not for me at all.

The argument over whether human behavior is influenced by inherent biological factors or is the result
of our education and environment is a hot topic.

Some scientists claim that solely hereditary factors form our personality, while others say that nurture
factors are more important.

My opinion is that it is an oversimplification to say only one type of these factors can affect our
disposition.

Let's think about it. Our personalities are determined by our genes, we develop them early in childhood
and they remain consistent throughout our lives. On the other hand, they are a product of our
environment, our personalities may change through time and our experiences will have a greater impact
on them. Human personalities and temperaments are affected by both genetics and our environment;
while we may be born with certain personality traits, we may still develop others as we go through life.

Actually, I have a bright example of moulding my personality by nurture factors. I was born a bit lazy and
scruffy. But my mom is a real fan of clear house, clear everything. So she started to mould this trait of
my character. And has done it successfully - now I can't stand anything untidy.

Moreover, I am prone to think that our destiny can easily be influenced by our disposition.

My friend who is called Vika, and I were lucky to go to Turkey for a fortnight last summer. Memories of
that time sometimes flash up in my memory, it was really incredible time. Every single day there was like
in a fairy tale. We visited plenty of local sightseeing, big funfair "the Land of Legends", had an amazing
excursion to mountains and etc.
Everything was plain sailing during the vacation, but when we were in the mountains, something went
downhill. We were having leisure time and fun near the mountain river, and all of a sudden we saw a
weird stranger flowing down the main road, which leads to the river. He was riding a motorbike without
wearing safety equipment at breakneck speed. Also, he was screaming a famous Turkish song(at least
our bus driver said that it was famous). His behavior drove everybody up the wall there. He disappeared
after 2 or 3 seconds.

When we sank into our seats on the bus, a bus driver said us to steer clear of such types of "crazy"
people.

Adapting to a new culture, especially when traveling overseas, may be tough. Most people who live in or
travel to a foreign country for an extended length of time go through a period of adjustment. Even the
moment when we hear a completely unknown and foreign language is really weird.

Every country, every culture, every nationality has their own, unique traditions, special features,
different laws. So, it is very hard for most people to adapt to new, foreign "rules".

Speaking about my country, it is a known fact, that Ukraine is regarded as a very beautiful, diverse
country with its special atmosphere and rich history. That is why travelers from other countries will have
a lot of struggles while visiting our country.

First of all, in some cities, Ukrainian people don't have a mastery of the English language. This problem
always causes a strong language barrier between citizens and foreigners.

In addition to this, at the first sight, Ukrainians may seem to be grumpy and anxious about strangers. I've
heard quite a lot of stories from foreigners that they initially they were avoiding any conversations with
Ukrainians, because of our angry looks.

Living in a culture that is not your own may be a fascinating experience as well as a difficult task. But if a
human is aware of all these "tasks", adapting to new conditions may become easier.

Are you a creative person? Are you fond of custom clothes? Or, maybe, you aren't willing to be just
another face in the crowd? If all your answers are "yes", you definitely need to have at least one item of
our Custom clothes!

My mom is a real master of embroidery who designs and makes a unique, decorated piece of clothing
on her own under the tradename Embroidery for U!

She has been embroidering since she was sixteen. and now has reached a high level of mastery.
Moreover, some of our relatives made a few orders of her works. And recently I realized that it can be a
profit-making venture. I told her about my idea of a possible business concept. Much to my delight, she
supported it, and now her business is branching out every day. There is no need to have a bricks-and-
mortar office, so she works at home.
With a price tag of 10 cents per ten crosses, her embroidered works are bargain basement. but each
item is obviously bespoke.

I can surely say that it is a must-have for every fashionista.

Childhood memories have a special place in our hearts. We can recall the happiest moments in our lives.
Our future and style of thinking are shaped by our childhood memories. Memories of that time, it may
be argued, keep the inner kid alive. Every person has a child inside them. It might appear out of
nowhere at any time in one's life. It may also be reflected in the tiny things that we like doing on a daily
basis.

So, talking about me, one of my fondest childhood memories is our family vacations in Koblevo. My
mom and I recently had a small clear-out of our photo albums, and we came across some pics from
Koblevo. Looking at them brought all the memories flooding back. My nuclear family and some close
relatives were there four times when I was at the age between six and ten.

It was the summer of 2009 when we came to Koblevo for the first time. I clearly remember the moment
when I heard the sound of the waves on the seashore. It was absolutely incredible to feel the sea
breeze, to be there with my family.

But nevertheless, something bad happened that year. My godmother and I decided to swim, and I did
not take my rubber ring. We did not have a clue that something might go wrong. I was on her back while
we were having fun in the water. And all of a sudden, godmother stepped onto the sharp rock and fell
into the water with me on her back. I don't recall what happened after that, but as you can see,
everything ended well.

3.
One of the most valuable and important ability that people are lucky to have is Language. Because of it,
we can share complicated thoughts, ideas to one another and moreover, express all our feelings and
emotions.

To start with, different nations have different cultures. So, it is obvious that Language is the best option
to see the reflections of someone’s traditions and values. For instance, we can grasp that because of
huge amount of old folk songs, narrations and quotations the Ukrainians are aware of rich history of
their country and forebears.

Beside this, I came across the research into linguistic relativity. And in a few words, it claims that people
can only perceive parts of the world for which their language has words. As the examples of this
principle are color and time perceptions and etc. For example, Europeans “see” the timeline from left to
right, but the Arabic people from right to left.

To conclude, language really affects the way we perceive the world, it doesn’t limit it, but makes us to
focus our attention on specific aspects of the world.

If you're acquainted with people whose zodiac sign is Pisces you perhaps know that a half of known facts
about that sign is false.

First of all, Pisces are not that self-conscious and timid as everyone used to know. I an not denying that
they can be reserved in a new circle of people, but it doesn't mean they are not sociable. They can feel
the energy of other people and easily adjust to it.

Moreover, there is a need to say a few words about their imagination and creativeness. Pisces only
should find the inspiration for creating something beautiful. And everything seems to be fine, but they
are extremely lazy. You can't even imagine how many amazing artworks, masterpieces, etc. are not
finished or lost because of this trait.

Also I should mention that Pisces are really emotional and affectionate. Cheating, manipulation, or
betrayals of any type typically result in the breakup of relationships, regardless of how solid they were
previously. The biggest pain is disappointment.

As for me, Virgo is one of the most practical and hard-working signs. People with this sign know for sure
that hard work always pays off. Besides this, their strong side is perfectionism. But it also can be tiring,
because they always want to do their best, to double-check their work and they often forget about
having fun.

Furthermore, I’m glad to have a few friends who are Virgos and no one is obedient and humble.

Virgos like being useful. It's in their Genes to look after others and be available at all times. When they
are supporting others, they sometimes neglect themselves.

On the appearance, Virgos are stubborn, cold-blooded, and temperamental. But under the surface. they
are indecisive. a little bit cowardly and weak-willed.

I have done some researches about one of my favourite zodiac signs - Taurus. So, thanks to this and my
personal experience, I can say for sure that Taurus has different, interesting sides.

I have found out that people who were born under this sign are really intelligent, elegant and strong-
willed.

Also, they are regarded as being energetic, loving and pleasant humans. Moreover, people born under
the Taurus zodiac sign are known for being determined and competitive in their lives. They seemed
destined to be successful.
On the other hand, just as their totem animal, Taurus natives have a tendency to be dominant and too
self-confident. Often, these traits of their character have a big influence on their relationships with other
people.
