The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby was written in 1925 and is considered by many critics to be one of the greatest twentieth – century novels.
The author shows us the glamour and the moral ugliness of the so-called ´roaring´ 20s by means of Nick Carraway, the narrator.
Nick´s neighbour, the name sake of the book, Jay Gatsby, takes up with Nick only because he wants to exploit him as a conciliator to join connection with Daisy.

Family

What it is family ? Is it the natural and fundamental group unit of societ, and men and women of full age,…
I‘ll say two people an their children. And what am I thinking about it ? My opinion is, that family is one of the most important things , that we have. Maybe it is not only mum and dad , who make family nice and harmonious. It depends on the relationships in the family and between members in it. Nowadays there are a lot of problems, which influence the family and relationships in it… For example - unemployment, money, drugs,

Fashion

Fashion

We can say that each person has his own style and taste. There are many differences in dressing - women are very choosy and particular about what to wear and like to spend a lot of money on clothes.

I follow the fashion and I buy and read fashion magazines ( e.g. Cosmopolitan, Elle, Quelle, etc. ). I watch programs about fashion on TV ( e.g. Videofashion ), sometimes I come and see Fashion show. Fashion designers what I know are Calvin Clein, Versage and in Czech Republic Beáta Rajská. The most important fa

Fashion

This is not my favourite topic, but I must speak about it for 15 minutes so I will tell you something about fashion, clothes and I will describe my sister (her build and character).
Women dress differently than men. Old people dress differently than young people or teenagers. Clothes which are worn by rich people change very quickly, because they can pay more money then poorer people. But everybody wants to look good in public even sometimes it is very disputable :-). You wear other clothes in house and other clothes in school or work. I

Fatboy Slim - My favourite British artist (C.V. + my opinion)

Fatboy Slim is the latest alias of DJ Norman Cook. But on the other hand Norman Cook is also alias of one smart man I will talk about in this essay. His civil name is Quentin Cook. He is man of thousand faces, nicknames and sounds. Many people in Czech republic know him only as Fatboy but it is delusion. He has started his career in 80's and he's still on top. He was a member of many bands; projects and he had also produced a bunch of remixes. Fatboy Slim is definitely one of the champions of the UK club scene.
