Stress at school (homework for 25.01.12)

Dear Mr. Teplov,

I am writhing to tell you about the stress most of students from our school have.

First of all, the time school starts. Researches show that our brain could not work good enough at 8 o'clock in the morning. It would be much better to have the first lesson at least at 9 o'clock, to understand the subject teachers are explaining. We need enough time to sleep in the morning.

Secondly, homework. After school day we always need some rest, but as we have so much homework, we have to do it immediately. Because of being tired we have more trouble in learning and remembering. As a result we perform more poorly in many areas. May be it would be better not to give us homework for holidays and weekends, to give us an opportunity to enjoy our free time and relax before a new school week or term.

Finally, physical education. Our body gets stressed while we are sitting 6-8 lessons at school. Now I am in the 11th form and we have no physical education in our timetable. In my opinion it would give us power, if we had such kind of lesson in the middle of the day.

I hope, you will understand me and other students and try to solve at least some of these problems, which make our life more stressful.

I am looking forwad to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Daria

The younger generation knows best (homework for 11.01.12)

Some people still think that knowledge depends on the age: when we are getting older, we get more and more experience. But in my opinion the old has lots to learn from the young.

     First, the young people are better educated. Nowadays it is a must for the younger generation - to study for at least 9 years at school. Also, the young generation is more broad-minded because today we have more freedom. 

     Second, most of the young people want change in order to make the world better. 

     Third, the world needs a generation who can make the world a better place through their great ideas and creativity. We have many new ideas and are often held back by the old who cannot think of new things as possibly good ideas.

     It is the task for the younger generations to make it comes true because they know the best.

Usual day of a reporter (homework for 10.01.2012)

     It started like any other day. It was usual sunny beautiful morning. Man, his name was David, woke up, prepared breakfast and drove to his favourite work, he was a reporter. David was in a hurry, because he was always late.

    A tall and very good-looking girl run to cross the street but fortunately the man noticed her at the last moment. Being an attentive person he was very upset and emmidiatly decided to bring her to hospital in order to check whether she had some injuries. David was happy to know that the pedestrian had minor injuries.They got acquainted and started talking.
    To his surprise David noticed that he had the feeling that he had known this girl all his life. They had a lot in common. They had the same interests in music and both of them had wide outlook. His new friend worked as an editor of a magazine. Except all this she was rather pretty and humorous.
    Now, when they have been married for 15 years. David cannot imagine how he did not meet her on his usual day while going to work before!
