Environmental protection
Civilization has brought people many advantages but its products also pollute and damage the environment in which we live. Pollution affects air, water, land forests, people, animals and plants.

European Parliament

The process of European integration has been marked by constant progress and change ever since the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) was founded in 1952. The ECSC was designed to be the basis for a lasting peace and prosperity for a continent marked, at that time, by deeply divided political and economic systems. Over the years, the number of Member States has more than doubled to embrace 15 nations. The European Union has recently invited new applicant countries to join.

FAMILY, HOME, RELATIVES

My name is Katarína Strmeňová, I am 18 years old and I am one of two children. I have one sister, who is younger than me. My sister is 13 years old and she studies at basic basketball school in Handlová. The only thing I do not like about her is that she steals my clothes. Then I have got almost nothing to wear. It is a big disadvantage to have as big sister as you are. But I like her nevertheless, because I sometimes wear her clothes too. So we live in harmony. I wear her clothes and she wears mine. We are friends and sisters as well.

Fashion

We can say that each person has his/her own style and taste. We will scarlely find two individuals who agree on every detail of their dress. It is well-known that the character of people is reflected also by the manner of their dressing and by their overall appearance. It isn´t of course a hard-and-fast rule.
Fashion has acquired its contemporary look very slowly. Fashion has developed for century upon century, looked for and discovered new charms, invented ways of correctly using newly-discovered fabrics, colours, patterns and tailorin

Hawaii

My essay is about the 50th state of the USA, about Hawaii. When people hear about Hawaii, they imagine it as a very exotic place. But it’s quite difficult to find someone who have visited these islands. Journey to Hawaii is long and boring. You have to fly to New York with over-landing in Helsinki, then fly to LA, where you have to stay over night. Next day is one more flight ahead, from LA to Honolulu, capital of Hawaii. After five hours of flying above ocean, captain of airplane says that you’ll be landing in few minutes. During landing,

Hobbies

It all depends an what you mean by hobby. Some people are so dedicated to their profession, that it becomes both a means of earning a living and also a hobby. In fact such people find it hard to draw a line between work and pleasure working hours and leisure time.

Homosexuality

Homosexuality is as old as all of mankind. It is also known in the animal kingdom. Lots of people are still very xenophobic though. I think that homosexuals are normal people and therefore, they should be treated equally in society and have equal rights, such as to get married or adopt children.
Some people think that homosexuality is some kind of sexual deviation. They consider gays and lesbians not normal and immoral. I totally disagree with this view of homosexual people. I think that gay people are normal; the only difference is thei
