Being hyperactive is my passionate. I have always been fascinated by
carnival rides. It amazes me that average, ordinary people excitedly trade in the
serenity of the ground for the chance to be tossed through the air like vegetables in a
food processor. It amazes me that at some time in history someone thought that
people would enjoy this, and that person invented what must have been the first of
these terrifying machines. For me, it is precisely the thrill and excitement of having
survived the ride that keeps me repeat it.

My first experience with a carnival ride was a Ferris wheel at a fair nearby.
Looking at that looming monstrosity spinning the life out of its sardine-caged
occupants, I was dumbstruck. It was huge, smoky, noisy and not a little intimidating.
Ever since that initial impression became planted in my imagination many years ago,
these rides have reminded me of mythical beasts, amazing dinosaurs carrying off
their screaming passengers like sacrificial life. Even the droning sound of their
engines brings to mind the great roar of a fire-breathing dragon with smoke spewing
from its exhaust-pipe nostrils.

The first ride on one of these fantastic beasts gave me an instant rush of
adrenaline. As the death-defying ride started, a lump in my throat pulsed like a
dislodged heart ready to walk the plank. As the ride gained speed, the resistance to
gravity built up against my body until I was unable to move. An almost imperceptible
pause as the wheel reached the top of its climb allowed my body to relax in a brief
state of normalcy. Then there was an assault of stomach-turning weightlessness as
the machine continued its rotation and I descended back toward the earth. A cymbal-
like crash vibrated through the air as the wheel reached bottom, and much to my
surprise I began to rise again. Luckily, I did not throw as I ended the ride.

Each new rotation gave me more confidence in the churning machine.Have

you ever heard about acrophobia. It is an extreme or irrational fear of heights. I think
it is inside of me a little bit. Every ascent left me elated that I had survived the
previous death-defying fall. When another nerve-wracking climb failed to follow the
last exhilarating descent and the ride was over, I knew I was hooked. Physically and
emotionally drained, I followed my fellow passengers down the clanging metal steps
to reach the safety of my former footing. I had been spared, but only to have the
opportunity to ride again.
 My fascination with these fantastic flights is deeply overwhelming in my soul.A
trip on the wonderful Ferris wheel never fails to thrill me. Although I am becoming
older and have less time, or less inclination, to play, the child-like thrill I have on a
Ferris wheel continues with each and every ride. It was an unforgettable experience
each time I visit the carnival. Hoping this passion becoming an alternative for me to
overcome any fear upcoming.

The goal is something that makes a human work on personal realization and
leaves no possibility to give up for non purpose. Goals in life encourage human’s
heart and soul, fill him with optimism and hopes for the better. A man with strong
wish to reach his goal will find hundreds of possibilities to do it, but the lazy one will
definitely create thousands of reasons for doing nothing. Some people prefer
avoiding impressive aims, as they are unreachable in their opinion. Is it really so or it
is just necessary to make more efforts to achieve something unachievable?

Basically, we need to setup a mindset that there are no goals that can’t be
reached. A person, who is overwhelmed by idea, can move mountains. He continues
his way even if meets difficulties and when his luck is bad. He doesn’t see any
obstacles, he sees possibilities and opportunities of reaching his goal. There is a
quote of Leonardo da Vinci that goes as following: “The one who skywards, doesn’t
turn around”. We meet such people in the novel “The Mysterious Island” by Jules
Verne.

A small group of people finds itself on uninhabited island among the ocean.
Even in such a difficult situation the men don’t give up in despair. Under auspices of
Cyrus Smith they start turning the uninhabited island into a good place for living.
Beginning with nothing, with the course of time they create a waterline, a telegraph,
grown corn, build houses, go hunting etc. All the efforts they have done together give
them the possibility to build a ship that takes them back home. Even after all the
obstacles they come back home! There must be people would think it was an
unreachable goal but the heroes proved them wrong!
 So, as a conclusion it can be said that there are no unachievable goals. There
is a lack of desire to do something and laziness. Everything can be reached and
achieved but some of the goals just need more efforts to be done. If you want
something – just do it!

3.1 DESCRIPTIVE ESSAY

I have always been fascinated by carnival rides. It amazes me that average,

precisely the thrill and excitement of having survived the ride that keeps me coming
back for more.

My first experience with a carnival ride was a Ferris wheel at a local fair.
Looking at that looming monstrosity spinning the life out of its sardine-caged
occupants, I was dumbstruck. It was huge, smoky, noisy and not a little intimidating.
Ever since that initial impression became fossilized in my imagination many years
ago, these rides have reminded me of mythical beasts, amazing dinosaurs carrying
off their screaming passengers like sacrificial life. Even the droning sound of their
engines brings to mind the great roar of a fire-breathing dragon with smoke spewing
from its exhaust-pipe nostrils.

My fascination with these fantastic flights is deeply engrained in my soul. A

3.2 EXPOSITORY ESSAY

The goal is something that makes a human work on personal realization and
leaves no possibility to give up. Goals in life spark human’s heart and soul, fill him
with optimism and hopes for the better. A man with strong wish to reach his goal will
find hundreds of possibilities to do it, but the lazy one will definitely create thousands
of reasons for doing nothing. Some people prefer avoiding impressive aims, as they
are unreachable in their opinion. Is it really so or it is just necessary to make more
efforts to achieve something unachievable?

Really, there are no goals that can’t be reached. A person, who is

overwhelmed by idea, can move mountains. He continues his way even if meets
difficulties and when his luck is bad. He doesn’t see any obstacles; he sees
possibilities and opportunities of reaching his goal. There is the quotation of
Leonardo da Vinci that goes as following: “The one who skywards, doesn’t turn
around”. We meet such people in the novel “The Mysterious Island” by Jules Verne.

A small group of people finds itself on uninhabited island among the ocean.
Even in such a difficult situation the men don’t give up in despair. Under auspices of
Cyrus Smith they start turning the uninhabited island into a good place for living.
Beginning with nothing, with the course of time they create a waterline, a telegraph,
grown corn, build houses, go hunting etc. All the efforts they have done together give
them the possibility to build a ship that takes them back home. Even after all the
obstacles they come back home! One would think it was an unreachable goal but the
heroes proved the different!

So, as a consequence it can be said that there are no unachievable goals.

There is a lack of desire to do something and laziness. Everything can be reached
and achieved but some of the goals just need more efforts to be done. If you want
something, there is no more excuse. Just do it !
