Henry Ford, born July 30, 1863, was the first of Wiliam and Mary Ford’s six children. He grew up on a prosperous family farm in what is today Dearborn, Michigan. Henry enjoyed a childhood typical of the rural nineteenth century, spending days in a one-room school and doing farm chores. At an early age, he showed an interest in mechanical things and a dislike for farm work. In 1879, sixteen-year-old Ford left home for the nearby city of Detroit to work as an apprentice machinist, although he did occasionally retu

Stylistics means – saying the right thing in the most effective way!
Stylistics refers to the manner of expressions in writing and speaking. There is different style in different situation. Style can be seen as variation in language use, whether literary or non-literary. What makes style distinctive is the choice of words and their distribution and patterning.

Hobby is a way how to spend a free time and how to relax and to do something that you enjoy. It is also an activity, which keeps you busy and fills up your free time. It gives you a pleasure from what you do and it’s always up to you what you choose and you don’t have to pay for it if you don’t want to.
To have a hobby is a very important thing because it gives people a space for an outlet from daily routines and problems. People have a need to realize themselves in a different ways than it’s
Generally family is a community of two or more people where parents try to bring up their children as best as they can. The main mission of the family is to stay together forever in good and bad times and support each other in all ways of their lives.
But for me family means a place where I can always come to search for help, understanding and loving care. It is a place where no matter what happened before I will be always welcomed and where I will always find home and feel safe. Everything begins whe
For many centuries the area of today`s Slovak Republic was centre of interrests of many nations. Romas, Germans, Turks and Hungarians. All of them wanted to conquer the territory between the Danube and High Tatras and settle there. But none of them were able to subjugate Slavs and stay here forever. But right because of these interrests Slovakia is influenced by many nations now and they take part in Slovak citizenship. The biggest minority group, with about 10% of inhabitans, is hungarian minority. They inhabit mostly the southern part
Searching for a job is not necessarily easy. Therefore it is good to prepare yourself a little bit and make up your mind about what kind of company you want to join. There are two basic types: You can either apply for a job in a big company or in a small company. Both have advantages and drawbacks. The smaller companies are usually ignored by potential employees, who focus their efforts more on large firms that have name recognition. However, during tough economic times, small firms are actually better positioned to hire in the period of
The production of electricity using nuclear power was initially thought to be a scientific and engineering miracle. It was predicted that nuclear power would make electricity so cheap that it would be available to everyone. However, on April 25th, 1986, an accident at the nuclear reactor at Chernobyl in the Ukraine changed the future of nuclear power. The nuclear plant at Chernobyl was Soviet built, and according to engineers who investigated the accident, it was not properly constructed or engineered. The results of this accident were widespre
Slovaks, as well as other nations, are obliged to be tolerant to each different person, as well as to each other. Tolerance is the basic aspect of a functional society, without it none can even exist. However, there are many problems mainly in countries not yet that cosmopolitan and I certainly regard Slovakia as one of those. First of all, the main issue of Slovakian tolerance, or let us better say, intolerance, is the growing number of Roma people in the country, side by side with the strengthening of their political power and thus also the i
If you could take our Earth in your hand and examine it with a strong magnifying glass, you would find, that Slovakia is a tiny territory with what is perhaps the highest concentration of beauty. Slovakian history is European history. Historical finds dating from the earliest periods of human settlement, archeological finds from the times of Roman Empire and monumental foundations of basilicas dating from the Great Moravian Empire prove the early existence of highly developed cultures at the area of todays Slovakia. Among the first inhab
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 interest
Start spreading the news, I`m leaving today, I want to be a part of it, New York, New York.. There are many places no the Earth which I would be glad to visit but the one that fascinates me the most is definitely New York, and not only for this great world-known song of Frank Sinatra. New York City is the biggest town of America and is situated in the state of New York. The capital of the state of New York is Albany, but hardly anyone knows that. But everyone know New York City, which is called here the Big Apple. It seems that nobody knows why
People sometimes refuse to believe things that are discrepant and perhaps a little bit absurd or odd from those that they are daily surrounded with and which they believe in. They are foolishly persuaded about the unchangeable limitations and complete explanations of everything in our world. No, it doesn’t work in this way and who believe in the necessary explanation of everything and doesn’t allow a little bit of fiction and mystery enter his or her life, is person for whom life is lost in the circle of endless question and boring answers.
Rainforests Before 1900, rainforests covered 14% of the world’s surface. Today they cover 7%. They have been cut down for land, paper, wood, medicines, minerals and fuel. But it is not only trees, which are disappearing. Every rainforest also contains millions of animals, insect and flowers. These are destroyed too. If man continues to cut down rainforests, more than million species of plants and animals will become extinct by the year 2030.

I watch TV in the morning, when I get up and when I go sleep. I sometimes go to the cinema. I love watching science fiction films. We go to the theatre with school sometimes. When I was younger, I went to the cinema every Sunday. I sometimes go to the concert. I hate going to the gallery or museum. I go to the disco too. I love listening hip-hop, rap or pop and I like listening everything nice and modern. My favorite singers are Eminem, Britney Spears, Ramstein, Pink and D12. I do not collect anything, but when I was younger I collected stamps

People can spend their holidays in mountains, spa, seaside or abroad. They can stay in hotel, tent, house or apartments. I prefer going to camps. I was in Tatranske Matliare two times and in Tatranske Zruby one time. This year I go to Tatranske Matliare. This year I go with my sister. I will meet six my old friends from last camps. I am looking forward to it. When I was younger, I was in abroad. I was with my family. We were in Greece. We were in Corfu. It is one of the islands in the Greece. There was beautiful. There was sand beach and
