Hobbies

There are so many types of hobbies one can choose for his or her own. Some hobbies are rather expensive, some are dangerous, some are very romantic, some are very time-consuming. When I was about the age of five, I like collecting postcards and stamps with the ground of a dog or a cat. When I was about eight I started to attend a scout group. As I was older, I started to guide this scout group. It is a pity that now I have so little free time. I cannot devote as much time to scouting as I used to. At the age of fifteen, I´ve found out that I r

Holidays of my dreams

Holidays of my dreams

It will all begin on the airport where my friend and me will get on board of a first class plane to Africa.

Our first stop will be in Egypt. There we will visit some of the great pyramids and search them through. Who knows, although it is very improbable, maybe we will find a secret entrance to a treasure room or something like that. If we would sell the treasure to archeologists, we would have enough money to travel to any place on the Earth.

Homelessness

Homelessness can happen to anyone

The Shelter is an organization in Britain which helps people who lost their home and became homeless. Its advertisement describes in a very simple way how easy is to lose everything we usually take for granted. It shows how easy is to lose television, car, home, family. At first sight we would agree with its suggestion that homelessness can happen to anyone. But is it really like that?

The first thing to support Shelter's claims is that really anybody can lose his job. No matter

Americans are a mobile nation. The average owner stays in a house only five years, before moving somewhere else. Due to low interest rates, the majority of families in the USA own their own homes.

There is a dark side to families moving so much, and such distances. Family ties are not nearly so strong in the US as in other countries. Some parents and grown children living on opposite coasts may only visit each other twice a year.

How to deal with a person who is angry?

We are taught to control our emotional feelings when we are young. We learn to be polite, patient, and hide our anger to people in everyday life.
