You know the mornings You are lying in a bed and You can’t wake up. So my day started the same. It was Wednesday morning, outside was the blizzard and I was thinking about these days, days You should stay at home and watch TV or listen to the music. But I love these days, so I woke up. I have to woke up, because I was suppose to go in the mountains with friends for a week and because of my love to snow and skiing of course. I am deep-rooted skier, but I have to say, I always admire the freedom of snowboard

English is the world language, the language of international communication in many areas of life: trade, air and sea transport, tourism, sport and entertainment. More and more people also need English for studying at universities and colleges. New ideas in science, technology and medicine happen so quickly that is impossible and very expensive to translate everything into different languages. So most things are published in English, and if you want to study some subject, f.e. Biology or business, you need to know professional words and phrases.

The discovery of America is attributed to Christopher Columbus, an Italian sailor. But the first white men, who had reached the shores of North America, were the Vikings around the year 1000. In 1492 Columbus thought he had reached Asia, but in fact, he had discovered the Bahama Islands. Columbus originally sailed to India and that’s why he called the natives „the Indians“ and then on account of the colour of their skin they were called Red Indians.
America recieves its name from an Italian, Amerigo Vespuci, who explo
Nowdays perhaps all visitors to Prague make their way to Old Town Square at all times of the day and on the stroke of every hour admire the run of the HOROLOGE (ASTRONOMICAL HOURS) situated on the Old Town Hall.It is controlled by a very complicated mechanism from the Middle Ages.It seems that it gained its oldest form as long ago as 1410, when it was made by the clockmaker Mikuláš of Kadaň.The horologe was reconstructed at the end of the 15th and again in the mid-16th century.The clock also underwent later repairs (for example, its s
The whole history people are trying to find a way, how to make easier their work and how to equip the tools, instruments or machines with functions that imitate human brain. Nowadays we can meet such a device, called computer or processor nearly everywhere. But there were, are, and will be things and machines which we aren’t able to make. Since the time when computers came, people try to do everything with it. Sometimes it is possible but sometimes not. Computers are not

have been learning English for 8 years and I still find English grammer rather difficult. I have got a good memory, so I have no problem with learning new words.
The English pronounceation isn´t easy becouse there are no rules like in German. I can say I have made a big progress since the time when I started with this language.
Translating texts is not difficult for me, becouse there are a lot of international words in English – for example: sports terminology (break, out, play, game, power play, bully, basketball
The important periods and events of British history
British history is an interesting topic with many important events and personalities, which have influenced the history more or less. This topic is so large, that it can be devided into several smaller parts. I can name some very important periods from the whole history, for example the Tudor period, which is mostly known because of one famous king from the house of Tudors, his name is Henry VIII.

The ancient Mayas of Central America built one of the most highly developed native civilizations ever found in the Western Hemisphere. In art, agriculture, and mathematics they equalled or outdid all of their counterparts. And for nearly seven centuries (250-900 A.D.) they controlled the area of Central America now known as Guatemala, Belize, western Honduras, and El Salvador, and the entire Yucatan Peninsula.
Then suddenly the entire Mayan civilization collapsed. Hundreds of splendid temple-topped stone pyramids, many of which we

The outstanding personalities whose achievements were/are important for humankind
I think there were many big personalities in the history of humankind. We can speak about hundreds of people, because there are many famous inventors, scientists, political personalities or artists, which have made something important. But there are many persons, which have made nothing good and positive, but something bad and they are famous through it, because it has changed the history. One of this bad people was Adolf Hitler. He was the ma
The problem of global warming, an increase in the average temperature on Earth, is getting worse. The Earth has warmed 0.3 to 0.6 degrees Celsius since the late 1800s. Scientists believe that the cause is the greenhouse effect, the process of trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere because of the presence of large amounts of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, methane, and nitrogen oxides. Less oxygen is being produced and cleaning the atmosphere allowing more of these gases to do its work on the environment.
