24 It is critically important that many people use their free time to visit new places

and learn about them. Personally, I believe that the best way to observe a place you
are visiting for the first time is talking to a local resident. I feel this way for two
reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.

To begin with, it is the only effective way that will help you to gain the knowledge
about mentality. Due to the fact that mentality can give you richer imagination about
new country, you won’t definitely regret about conversation with native speaker. All
in all, mentality is about behavior, habits and views which are extremely different in
every society. My personal experience is a compelling illustration of this. I have been
in Prague twice but my impressions totally differed from each other. At the first time,
I went there with my classmates and we only went sightseeing. The only thing I
remembered was fabulous architecture and that’s really disappointing. Next time I
was alone and lived there for a month. That’s why I had a lot of possibilities to
communicate with locals and to examine their everyday life. To be honest, I had
more positive emotions at the second time than at first. So, I can make consequence
that mentality is a very crucial thing for tourists.

Furthermore, only locals can get familiar you with places which are hidden from
tourists. Of course, you won’t see them on usual excursions where you will just go to
historical places that are tedious a little bit. Due to this reason, residents are the best
helpers with such deal. For instance, let’s mention Prague again because it’s a
brilliant example. When I was there with my class, we only go for special excursions
for tourist which made me bored. As for me, it was just wasting my money because I
could go to those historical premises on my own and find data about them on the
Internet. When I visited Prague again, I met with one resident there. She showed me
so interesting places that I had never heard about. I felt myself a real researcher of
inmost secrets of the city. All in all, I can say with reasonable confidence that locals
are the best guides.

In conclusion, I strongly believe that speaking to a local resident is the most certain
source of getting know a new place. This is because it is the best way to find out
about the mentality of country and inmost places.
25 It is critically important that people in society work in many different settings, and
for a variety of reasons. Personally, I believe that the main reason why people have
jobs is to feel happier about their lives. I feel this way for two reasons, which I will
explore in the following essay.

To begin with, you won’t miss any entertainment and you will entirely enjoy your life
with the help of work. It is known that everything requires money which you can earn
at work. That’s why you won’t need to refuse yourself from something because you
will have all resources for it. My personal experience is a compelling illustration of it.
I am really fond of fashion and shopping and it makes me happier. However, I
couldn’t afford myself to buy something new as often as I wanted. When I got the job
and started making money, I felt more pleased with my life. I had everything I want
and I didn’t need to ask my parents for buying something because I did it by myself.
So, my job filled my life with a lot of happiness.

Furthermore, self-development which you get at work will also make you happy.
When you don’t improve you skills, you will feel like on the way to degradation.
Nobody will deny that evolution is a very factor in our existing and we have to do our
best to follow it. For instance, when I was unemployed, I felt so tedious because I had
a really monotonous life. I wasted a lot of time for just lying on the couch and surfing
the Internet. Fortunately, one day I understood that I felt unhappy even when I had so
much free time which I didn’t know how to fulfill. Due to this fact, I decided to spend
this time for development and my job helped me with this. All in all, I can claim that
it is the effective way to feel happier about your life.

In conclusion, I strongly believe that being employed is a great way to make you
cheerful. This is because it will allow you to do everything that bring you happiness
and you will develop and become the best version of yourself.
26 It is critically important that in modern society there are many things that people
can do to improve their physical condition. Personally, I believe that the best way to
stay healthy is eating healthy food every day. I feel this way for two reasons, which I
will explore in the following essay.

To begin with, food contains a lot of chemicals which are dangerous for our
organisms and we must responsibly relate to the choice of products. The main thing is
that eating unhealthy and fat food causes overweightness. As we know,
overweightness can be an important reason of heart diseases. Due to this fact, the first
step to illnesses in this chain is our nutrition, so we must pay attention to it at first.
My personal experience is a compelling illustration of this. My mum used to eat fried
meals which consist of fats. A couple of months later, she gained weight and became
overweight. It really embarrassed her because she couldn’t do such things as she
could earlier. Moreover, she had a lot of problems with high blood pressure that
could become the reason of heart disease. Fortunately, she started keep a diet and
lost her weight. All in all, problems with health disappeared because of balanced
nutrition.

Furthermore, the most crucial factor for attractive appearance is healthy food. Our
skin, hair and nails require a lot of vitamins which we can get from food. Of course,
there are many vitamins which you can take as pills or capsules but these aren’t so
effective as natural vitamins in food. For instance, my skin is really sensitive to my
nutrition. When I eat something fat or chemical, there are always a lot of pimples on
my face. Due to this reason, I don’t feel confident and lose my inspiration for
everything. However, when I consume healthy nutrients, my skin is grateful me for
this. It appears more well-groomed and healthier that makes me glad and be in a good
mood all time. In addition, I don’t need to waste my time for make-up and can go out
without it.

In conclusion, I strongly believe that consuming healthy food is the most valuable
thing in healthy lifestyle. This is because bad nutrition can cause many diseases and
our appearance entirely depends on food we eat.
27 It is critically important that the people we work have many different
characteristics and all of them affect the quality of our time at work. Personally, I
believe that the most important quality for a boss or supervisor to have is a serious
attitude about their work. I feel this way for two reasons, which I will explore in the
following essay.

To begin with, if your boss is serious, he will always insist on flawless work
performance and following deadlines. It is common when employees try to facilitate
their work and don’t make efforts to succeed. The same problem is with deadlines
which workers escape and postpone to another date. However, it wouldn’t happen if
their boss demanded serious relation to work. My personal experience is a compelling
illustration of this. I used to work on two companies in my life. The main difference
between them was the supervisors’ attitude about working processes. The first one
was really serious and I always did my best to pass something on time. It was also
forbidden to be late for work, so it never happened and everybody spent required
amount of time there to complete everything. Another my boss was indifferent to his
obligations. Employees were the same because they didn’t have a good example. Due
to this reason, that company was unsuccessful.

Furthermore, serious bosses can divine personal life from work. There are many
examples of romantic relationships at work which often distract people from their
obligations. If a supervisor is serious and responsible, he or she will never combine
work and romantic life. For instance, my friend is a boss of one big company. He is at
his office almost all time. That’s why he doesn’t have any time for personal life.
However, he hired one beautiful girl and felt in love with her. There isn’t anything
bed except one. He allows her a lot, for example, to go home earlier or to pass her
work later. There are many terrible consequences which influence the success of
company. Bosses who have more serious attitude to work will never lead to such
situation.

In conclusion, I strongly believe that the best character trait for a supervisor or boss is
seriousness. This is because you will never allow carelessness of your workers and
you won’t let romance be preferred at work.
28 It is critically important that, all around the world, people are living longer than
ever before. Personally, I believe that the development of new technology and
improvements to our working conditions are the main causes of this phenomenon. I
feel this way for two reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.

To begin with, modern technologies are increasingly used in the field of health care,
which is convenient, and sometimes simply necessary. Thanks to this, medicine today
has completely new features. In many medical studies, it is simply impossible to do
without a computer and special software for it. My personal experience is a
compelling illustration of this. My aunt had cancer and, fortunately, she could get rid
of this awful disease. To my mind, the main reason of this is that she found out about
cancer at a such stage when it was still possible to save herself. If a person got cancer
earlier, he would definitely die. However, in the 21st century, thanks to new
technologies, humanity has learned to detect cancer in its early stages and cure it.

Furthermore, the improvement of working conditions has a positive effect on our life
duration. A person spends a significant part of his life on work and, therefore,
working conditions and the level of its safety depend on ability to work productively,
the quality of work, and state of health. When people work in pleasant conditions,
they are less physically and mentally exhausted than if they work in unfavorable
ones. For instance, in the past, people used to cultivate the fields by hand and spent
whole days under the open sun. Due to the fact that it had a very negative effect on
their health and physical endurance, they could get sunstroke or burns. Nevertheless,
working conditions have improved and the number of terrible incidents has
decreased. Now people cultivate the fields with tractors and combines and don’t
spend as much health and strength on this as it was used before.

In conclusion, I strongly believe that the main factors which influence our longer life
are the development of new technology and working conditions. This is because there
are many ways how to cure every disease and how to prevent awful situations at work
which can also have impact on our life.
29 It is critically important that, during our careers, we work with many different
kinds of people and all of them have unique characteristics and personality traits.
Personally, I believe that the most important characteristics of coworker are a serious
attitude regarding their work obligations and a willingness to learn new things. I feel
this way for two reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.

To begin with, a serious attitude towards one's duties is the basis of all working
relationship. A person who is not serious about his work obligations is a bad
employee and colleague. It is impossible to rely on this person and entrust him or her
with something important. If a colleague takes responsibility for work and his duties,
it is easy to work with him or her, because you know that he or she won’t let you
down. My personal experience is a compelling illustration of this. My friend started
working in the company as an ordinary manager, but in half a year she became the
head of the department because she was an excellent coworker. There was an election
where everybody chose her because they had a possibility to work with her and they
realized that she is a great employee.

Furthermore, the desire to learn something new is also a crucial feature of a good
employee and colleague. In the modern world, everything changes very often -
knowledge, technologies, life circumstances, therefore the relevance of knowledge is
extremely important. Companies are constantly developing and need new skills and
knowledge from their workers. If a person doesn’t seek to learn something new, he
will stand still in his career path while others will be on the way to development. For
instance, my colleague at work didn’t want to take advanced training courses while
others took them. After those courses nobody wanted to work with her because she
wasn’t aware of new techniques. Then the management fired her because of her
unprofessionalism.

In conclusion, I strongly believe that a good employee and colleague is someone who
takes responsibility for his duties, has a desire to learn something new, which makes
it a pleasure to work with him. This is because you can rely on this person and he or
she will know about all tendencies.
30 It is critically important that all parents want their children to succeed in the
future. Personally, I believe that if they want to see their kids successful, they should
teach them how to be patient. I feel this way for two reasons which I will explore in
the following essay.

To begin with, patience is really necessary when we talk about aims. Everyone
should know that there is nothing easy in life. If you want to achieve something, you
should make efforts. Sometimes you will do it for a long time until you rich your aim
and the main thing that will help you is your patience. My personal experience is a
compelling illustration of this. I was really bad at learning history when I was at
school. However, I needed this subject because I had to pass this exam for my
university. It was really hard for me to learn all dates and I thought to give this idea
up. Fortunately, my parents taught me the patience and they didn’t let me stop.
Thanks to their upbringing, I could rich my aim and make my dream come true.

Furthermore, every person face a lot of challenges in life and only patient people can
cope with them. As we know, the way to success is really long and you will definitely
have many probations. The only character trait that can help you is patience. For
instance, most successful people began from hard works which made them really
tired. However they didn’t lose their hope and continued to go through all difficulties.
Brad Pit is a great example of being patient on the way to success. He started his
work as a waiter that had no connection with cinematography. One day, he was
noticed by a famous director and he had proposal to try himself as an actor. So, even
if something seems to you unbelievable, you should never stop and go to your goal
step by step.

In conclusion, I strongly believe that parents of successful people pay a lot of

attention to patience in their raising. This is because it allows us to achieve all goals
even if they are hard and it teaches as to break all challenges in our lives.
31 It is critically important that there are some cases when management of company
is doing something wrong. Personally, I believe that the best way for employees to
respond is speaking to the management directly. I feel this way for two reasons,
which I will explore in the following essay.

To begin with, when people express their discontent directly, there are more chances
that they will be listened to. Your management can’t even understand that they do
something wrong until you tell them about their mistakes. They don’t have any
unrealistic skills to be able to hear your thoughts, so you should always share your
opinion with management to improve the situation. My personal experience is a
compelling illustration of this. My mother was really unpleased with her schedule at
work that her boss made. She just complained her colleagues at this but they couldn’t
help you with such deal. One day, my mom took courage and told her management
that her schedule wasn’t suitable for her. They listened to her, made consequences
and changed her schedule. All in all, she understood that it wasn’t so scary as it
seemed to be.

Furthermore, when you tell everything directly, you can discuss it and change your
opinion. It is often when employees are sure that the management made mistakes,
however they didn’t know all details and it cropped out that such acting was
necessary. For instance, my colleague was completely confident that our management
suggested really disadvantageous project for our company which would cause a lot of
damage. She decided to point out them on their mistake and save company from
bankruptcy. Nevertheless, the boss explained her that this project would attract a lot
of foreign partners because it was really popular abroad. So, if she hadn’t spoken to
him directly, she wouldn’t have known about other reasons of management’s
decision.

In conclusion, I strongly believe that expressing all opinions to management directly

is the most effective way to improve their work. This is because it is the only way
when you can be understood and you will able to find out background reasons for
their acts.
32 It is critically important that the government of each state should care about the
environment. Personally, I believe that the best way of improvement in my country is
building more parks. I feel this way for two reasons, which I will explore in the
following essay.

To begin with, parks are a kind of lungs that help to get rid of air pollution. As we
know, leaves of trees or bushes are engaging in photosynthesis which is really good
for breathing and cleaning air. The main option of this process is that leaves absorb
carbon dioxide and release oxygen which is necessary for breathing and lives of all
organisms. My personal experience is a compelling illustration of this. There are few
parks in my city and even they don’t contain a lot of plantations. Due to this fact, it
has a bad impact on the atmosphere because the air is always polluted because of big
amount of vehicles. However, when I came to Truskavets, where there are much
more of parks, I immediately felt how clean the air is and how pleasant it is to
breathe. All in all, I am sure that parks influence our breathing process.

Furthermore, parks and squares are a crucial element of the urban environment, as
they are a place of rest and leisure for the population. City parks are a place where
people can spend free time, get to know each other better in a pleasant environment,
take a break from the city bustle and simply enjoy nature. An equally important
function of parks is the maintenance of a person's physical health, as they can
encourage active recreation and be a space for sports, running or walking. For
instance, I study in Ternopil and there is a huge park near my dormitory. I like going
for a walk there just for pleasure. Moreover, there is a small zoo inside park that is
really attractive for everyone. On the other hand, there isn’t any gorgeous park in my
hometown and I can’t go there in my free time. To my mind, it’s a big problem of my
city and it immediately requires a solution.

In conclusion, I strongly believe that the most necessary improvement for my

country’s environment is an increasing of number of parks. This is because they have
great impact on air and can provoke reducing of air pollution and they are the best
places for spending free time of citizens.
33 It is critically important that all classes should be interesting to attract students and
make them join studying process. Personally, I believe that classes with frequent
discussions between the professor and the students with almost no lectures are more
productive. I feel this way for two reasons, which I will explore in the following
essay.

To begin with, discussions are a great reason to take a part in learning something and
to prevent misunderstandings. Nobody requires that you must know the data
perfectly. You can just express your opinion on a specific topic. If it isn’t right, the
teacher will explain you why it is wrong and he or she will lead you to the correct
answer. My personal experience is a compelling illustration of this. I had a lot of
cases when I didn’t understand the material clearly. However, my teacher used to
discuss every passage she explained. That’s why she made the theory understandable
for everyone. Sometimes when I discussed the question with her, it occurred that I
didn’t perceive it properly, so I was explained again.

Furthermore, students are used not to response any questions at lectures. Due to this
fact, they don’t often listen to teachers and do their duties during lectures. All in all,
such studying isn’t effective. For instance, I am always used to sleep at lectures,
especially when they start at 8am. I find such lessons so tedious and I have no desire
to focus on the information. Moreover, I know that teachers won’t ask me, so I can
relax. However, if I feel the obligation to discuss the data I’ve heard, I will be more
attentive.

In conclusion, I strongly believe that more discussions with less lectures are more
effective for learning the material. This is because you can escape misunderstandings
and you won’t have a willing to distract from lessons.
