Australia is famous for it’s strange animals. There are many kinds of animals living only there. We can also find there our typical animals. Sheep can be found on the West Coast and in the East. Cattle are bred on the Northwest coast and Southeast coast. We would like to introduce you some of not so common ones.
Koalas Everyone knows these cute animals, looking like a teddy bear. Of course, they aren’t really bears at all. True bears don’t have pouches and their babies aren’t as big as your thumbnail. The closest re
Dear Jim, Thank you for your letter. You asked me about places you could visit during your stay here. There are a lot of beautiful and interesting places you can visit in Humenné and here are some I’d recommend to you. I know you like sports, so perhaps you could play squash or tennis. Near the courts, there is a swimming pool, so it might be an idea to refresh after doing sport.
The weather forecast for the next week says it will be sunny, so you could visit the countryside around Humenné. There are ruins of the Brekov
The Wars of the Roses were a series of civil wars fought in medieval England from 1455 to 1487 between the House of Lancaster and the House of York. The name Wars of the Roses is based on the badges used by the two sides, the red rose for the Lancastrians and the white rose for the Yorkists. Major causes of the conflict include: 1) both houses were direct descendents of king Edward III; 2) the ruling Lancastrian king, Henry VI, surrounded himself with unpopular nobles; 3) the civil unrest of much of the population; 4
WHO ARE LDCs? The LDCs are defined as low-income countries that are suffering from long-term handicaps to growth, in particular low levels of human resource development and/or severe structural weaknesses. In 1971, the international community recognised the existence of a category of countries whose distinctness lies in the profound poverty of their people and in the weakness of their economic, institutional and human resources, often compounded by geophysical handicaps. Currently, there are 49 countries identified as Least Developed Cou
Holden Caulfield is a 16 years old ‘student‘, who has been expelled from yet another school for his poor achievement. The story is told in the first person, Holden, who does not know what he wants in life, or why people want what they want of him, or why he does lots of the things he does, or why they do lots of what they do. He has just flunked out of Pencey Prep., just like all his other schools, and he can't figure out what he is going to do. He leaves school a few days earlier to the end of term, and goes to New York to 'take
I’m Pro-Choice, and here is what I believe in. Pro-Choice does not mean just Pro-Abortion. The right to have a baby should be left to the woman and her doctor. It doesn’t belong to any other people, nor the government.
The First question is: “When does the human life begin?” The controversy swirling about the first question can be explained by the fact that different people use different standards of measurement by which to define "human life". Some would define it through a theologic or religious faith be
Has a long tradition. In the past, people traveled mainly on foot, eventually by boats or on horses. Later they used steam trains, steam cars or steamboats, which were something new for them. The first people to travel round the world went by sea. An American made the first solo circumnavigation at the end of the 19th century. The first non-stop flight round the world took 94 hours. People travelled round the world also on bicycles, on sledges, in lorries or in submarines. Nowadays travelling is very popular, common and necessary. People have m
In the beginning, I would like to talk about history of health care. In the past, there were some women who knew how to prepare some special kinds of herbal tea, which treated people who were ill. They prepared also various kinds of salves and they used very strange ingredients, for example frog’s slime, therefore they were considered to be witches. But nowadays we know that frog’s slime contains antibiotics or other healing substances. Human body consists of interior and exterior organs. The main exterior organs and parts of body are head
A family consists of people who are socially-related to one another. An exam of such a social relationship might be marriage or cohabitation. A family used to lives in common household, which the family members called their home. Everyone sees the sense of home differently. However, I think that nobody calls home something, which one doesn’t like.
Family relations: I think that girls and their mothers and boys and their fathers understand each other better than vice versa, but in my opinion it depends on the parent, who keeps sp
To start with, multiculturalism is considered a world-wide phenomenon and becomes a commonplace in many countries, most of all in those that are large and modern like the USA, Australia or Great Britain. In my view this happening is a logical conclusion of a developing globalization and only gives us all reasons for tolerance and mutual respect between all the cultures and races. As a matter of fact, there have been many problems with racionalism and intolerance between different races in the history of mankind, in most cases caused by white Eu
Every people dream and wonder around in their minds about special things. Dreams and hopes can be very important for people’s needs. In most cases, dreams can be misled because of the reality. It is very difficult to describe them because they are not the same for everybody. In the novel Of mice and men, there are many examples where characters have dreams but reality is different. George and Lennie, dream about getting their own farm, but this dream is different for everyone. George dreams about farm without boss, he dreams about place where
This essay attempts to critically assess the achievements of Frederick Winslow Taylor in work management. It discusses its positives as well as negatives and attempts to evaluate its usefulness in today’s world.
As far as the capitalist point of view is concerned, the classical economists were the first to address the issue of the organisation of labour. Their observations continued up to the final stages of the Industrial Revolution and were basis for the work of Frederic Winslow Taylor. In 1911 he published The Principles of S
BOYING (Breaking) B-boying is a form of hip hop dancing which is popularly known as breaking. It consists of top or up rock, footwork, spinning moves, and freeze. B-boying came from Bronx, NY. The term "B-boy" or "B-boying" was created by Kool Herc who was a DJ in Bronx. B-Boys means break boys and they were called so because they dance to the break part of music. It is closer to gymnastic moves rather than dancing. Breaking is the most popular style of hip hop dancing and it has been spreading all over the wor
I think, fairy tales encourage children’s imagination, which adults lose later on. That’s why pictures in children’s books are so necessary. The little prince is the best example. Promptly from the beginning there are comparisons between children and adults imagination. A six year old boy drew a big garrotter which was digesting an elephant and that’s why he saw another garrotter which was digesting a beast in another book. He got to know, it swallows and digests for half a year and that was what interested him. He showed that picture (
According to Longman Dictionary: Illness is a disease of the body or mind, or the condition of being ill. Disease is an illness, which affects a person, animal, or plant. Microbe is an extremely small living thing, which you can only see if you use a microscope. Some microbes can cause diseases.
Illness is when microbes broke your immune system. Why are people ill? As I said illness and microbes have connection. Microbes include viruses, bacteria, protozoa and some fungi. If the harmful microbes come into your body t
Robots. What do you think? What the robots are? Maybe you know that word “robot” made Karel Čapek in his work R.U.R{rosum`s universal robots}. But he thought a machine which looks like human and which is created by human. Yes it’s true but we think that robot should be something what something do and the most important part is that it do it by itself {it doesn’t mean that it want do it}. we tried to find definition of robot but all was really strange so we tried to describe it by my own. At present there are lot of kind of robot so we
Why every one of us needs idols or examples? Why we need TV shows like “Slovensko hľadá superstar” or other factories for production factitious stars, idols, singers or examples? Why? To be sure, nobody can influence it. We are only consumers of that, what mass mediums give to us. We absorb all we see in TV or we read in daily press… Anyone wants to have someone to be similar to him/her. We have to wear the same clothes as she/he. We have to behave like he or she. We like no only her or his good qualities but unfortunately her an
I haven’t favourite part of the town Humenné, I like whole the town. I was born in Humenné, a city in the east of Slovakia. Humenné is the centre of upper Zemplin. It is quite big (in Slovakia), with a population of about 40,000 people. There are a lot of schools, buildings, churches, shops and pubs. There are two bridges over the river Laborec. Famous architecture, monuments and a lovely countryside allow us to entitle our town as the „Pearl of the Zemplín“. Humenné is 462 km from Slovakia’s capital, Bratislava. The first written
I don´t know, what I´ll do in future. Now I´m sitting at school and writting an essay about my plans to the future. In this summer I´m going to spend my holiday somewhere in world, maybe Greece or Mexico. Then I´m going to go with my friends whenever, where is water and beer. After secondary commercial school I might go the university, maybe Harvard or Personal management in Žilina, who knows? Then I´m going to earn some money. I might find a job, which myself will be entertain. I´d like to work in management in big company or I
