My family is quite small; I'm the only child in the
family. I think I get on with my parents well and I can
say that I really look up to them. However, sometimes
we have arguments and don't see eye to eye, but I
think every family has such kind of problems. So,
sometimes my parents can be strict and even tell me
off, for instance, if I want to stay out late or buy
something very expensive. But still the only thing that
they want is to make my life better and, in my opinion,
a good parent should be strict, otherwise his child can
become spoilt. So I always try to understand my
parents in such situations. What is more, I know that I
can always rely on my parents and theyll always do
their best to help me.
Unfortunately, I can't say that I am an ideal daughter and,
moreover, sometimes I feel very ashamed of my behavior.
But I really love my parents and I strongly believe that I'm
a lucky child. So when I decide to have a family of my own
I'll try to be as a good parent for my children as my parents
are.
6) Your idea of a good friend
I think that friendship plays an important role in our lives.
Each of us needs a person who we can turn to if we have a
problem and who we can have fun with. A proverb says: "A
friend in need is a friend indeed", but I would say that a
true friend is the person who is honestly happy for you
when something good happens in your life. In my opinion a
good friend is a person who accepts you as you are, with all
you drawbacks. What is more, a good friend should be
honest with you, he shouldn't break his promises and he
must always tell you the truth, even if it hurts. And the most
important quality of a good friend, is that he should be
trustworthy, because I think that a true friend is a person
who always supports you, gives you advice and who you
can tell everything, because you know that he will never
give away your secrets.
As for me, I think that I'm quite a good friend, although it
can be difficult to deal with me sometimes, because I can
be stubborn and moody. But still I try to improve my
character. And I know that my friends can confide in me,
because I always keep my promises and never tell others'
secrets even to my close friends.
And I think that I'm really a happy person, because I have a
true friend. His name is Paul. I know that I can fully rely on
him, because he will never let me down. He's the sort of
person I can always turn to if I have a problem and I know
that I'll get sensible advice. And what is more, I know that
he's sincerely glad to see me happy.
Ideal husband
In my opinion an ideal husband is a person who you can
always fully rely on, because you are sure that he will never
let you down. I think that he should accept you as you are,
with all your drawbacks. Also he must respect you as well
as your relatives. What is more, he should be honest and
has nothing to conceal from you. Moreover, an ideal
husband must be really trustworthy, he should be a person
who will keep all your secrets and who will always give
you a hand if you have difficulties. So in my opinion an
ideal husband should be your best friend to some extent.
But the most important thing for me is that you should love
him and feel really loved.
I hope that such a man really exists and I will meet him one
day.
Home
1)Your present home
I live in a block of flats and I'm really happy about my
home. First of all, it's located in a quiet area, but at the
same time it's convenient for a bus stop and an underground
station, so I can easily get to any part of the city. Moreover,
it's also got a lot of amenities close to it: there's a huge
supermarket, where I can buy almost everything I need, a
bank, a post office and a hairdresser as well. Besides, my
present home is not far from a sports center and a cinema.
But most of all I'm glad that my home is handy for a
beautiful small park. It is especially wonderful in winter,
when there is a brightly decorated Christmas tree.
I live on the 8th floor in a 3-roomed flat and I'm fully
satisfied with it. Firstly, it's well-planned and has all
modern conveniences, such as hot water, central heating,
electric light. Secondly, I have a good-sized room to
myself, so I can always have some privacy. In addition,
there are large windows in our flat, so it catches a lot of
sunshine during the day.
To sum up, I'd like to say that I really like my present home
and I think I wouldn't like to move to another place.
2)Your dream house
I think I'd like to have a flat near the city center because I
want it to be convenient for my university or future work.
And I also want it to be handy for a lot of amenities, such
as cinemas, sport centers, restaurants, and banks. And some
good markets as well, where I could buy everything I'd
need. I think I'd like to live in a huge studio flat on the 20th
floor overlooking the city beneath it. There should be really
enormous windows and I'd like my flat to catch a lot of
sunshine during the day. Moreover, I want to have all the
modern conveniences in my flat, such as hot water, central
heating, and electric light. What is more I'd like to have a
lot of electronic devices there. Also I'd like to hang a few
modern pictures on the walls to decorate my flat, because I
want it to be bright and colorful.
But I also think that it's impossible to live in a big city all
the time, so I'd like to have a detached house somewhere in
the country as well, where I could spend my weekends
away from the noisy city. I'd like it to be situated in a quiet
area, it should be surrounded by beautiful meadows and,
moreover, I'd it to face a lake. But still I'd like to have all
the modern conveniences there, because I want my house to
be a place where I could just relax and have nothing to
worry about.
I hope I will be able to make all my dreams come true in
the future.
3)Describe a house in poor condition
I want to tell you about the neglected detached house which
I saw near my grandmother's cottage in the country. That
house is very filthy and dark. Moreover, all the windows in
the house are broken. As far as I know the its roof is
leaking and I'm absolutely sure that all the floorboards are
rotten and the wallpaper is coming off. What is more, the
garden is in terrible condition and even doesn't have a
fence. It goes without saying that nobody's living there at
the moment. But I believe that it just needs decoration and
doing up.
Firstly, the roof needs to be repaired and I think that the
ceiling needs whitewashing. Secondly, the new windows
should be installed. What is more, the floor needs to be
seen to and the walls certainly should be papered. I suppose
that the house also needs rewiring and central heating needs
to be put in. And I think that after doing up that house will
be really suitable for living.
4)Sharing household chores in a family
The proverb says: "Many hands make light work", and I
agree with it. In my opinion it's not a bad idea to share the
household chores between the members of the family. For
instance, the children should keep their own rooms tidy,
make their beds, lay the table and do the washing up. The
mother could then better concentrate on other chores, such
us cooking or ironing. And the father should do more
difficult physical work. As for me, this is an ideal variant of
keeping the house. In my opinion sharing the household
chores can even make a family more united. I also think
that doing the household chores makes children more
responsible. But at the same time in many families the
problem of clearing up the flat becomes a generation gap.
Usually children don't want to clean up their rooms and
their parents make them do it. So in such situations a
compromise should be reached.
As for my family, we share the household chores. For
instance, I keep my room tidy, do the washing up and
sometimes cook for myself. And I really even like doing
these chores. What is more, our family never argues about
sharing them. And I believe that it's quite necessary and
essential to help your parents about the house.
5)Sharing a room/flat
In my opinion the experience of living away from home
may be an exciting part of students' university life. I think
one of the best things about living away from home is that
you have more freedom. You can stay up late or invite
friends to your place whenever you want. But in my
opinion you should be very responsible to be able to live
alone. Because if you're living away from your parents you
have to cook, pay the bills and do the household chores
yourself. So, because of all your responsibilities, you may
have less free time. And the main disadvantages of living
away from your parents are that you have nobody to give
you a hand and support you. Many students prefer to share
a flat during their stay in other city, because it's cheaper and
they can have a lot of fun with their friends. But on the
other hand there can be very little privacy and such students
have to put up with the others' habits and behavior. And at
home parents always try not to disturb you and give you
everything you need. But in my opinion living away from
parents does have one huge advantage. I think such
experience makes you mature.
Далее следуют темы, которых у нас нет, может что-то понадобится.
A perfect housewife
In my opinion, it's quite difficult to be a housewife,
especially if you want to be an ideal one. An ideal
housewife should cope with a lot of different problems and
responsibilities every day. For instance, she must take care
of her children if she has them, which means cooking,
playing or walking with them, helping them with the
homework, discussing and solving different kinds of their
problems. Also, an ideal housewife should be a loving wife
for her husband, which, I think, involves the same as being
a caring mother. What is more, it's extremely important to
do all the household chores, such as cleaning, washing up,
ironing and shopping. So I think that an ideal housewife
sacrifices her life to some extent.
In my opinion, my mother is an example of the ideal
housewife. She takes a lot of care of me and my father
every day, she's busy as a bee and I know that at the end of
the day she feels exhausted, but nevertheless she always
smiles.
As for me, I think I wouldn't like to become a housewife. In
my opinion nowadays women have possibilities to mix
their household chores and their jobs. So I want to become
a qualified specialist in the future. But I also think that
there's nothing more precious for every woman than her
family, so I'll try not to forget about my household chores. I
know that it's difficult and exhausting but nothing is
impossible.
Good/bad neighbors
In my opinion almost everyone has faced the problem of
bad or noisy neighbors. They can be really hard to deal
with. But of course there are some ways to turn your bad
neighbors into good ones.
I think that first of all, if your neighbors disturb your sleep
or regular activities you need to speak with them. It's very
important to stay calm and polite during the conversation.
You should explain the situation and mention your
desirable result. Also you may suggest you neighbors
compromise or an alternative. If you neighbors ignore your
conversations and continue to disturb you, I think you
should find some other neighbors to support you, because
you may be not the only person, who has to put up with the
noise. But if you bad neighbor still refuse to change
something, I think you really need to contact the police and
ask them to help.
As for me, I think that my neighbors are quite good. Of
course sometimes they have guests or listen to music, but I
can really put up with it, because they don't make much
noise. And in my opinion, my family and I are good
neighbors too, because we really try not to be noise. We
don't shout and listen to music only in headphones.
First impressions about people
I think that we all tend to go by appearance, even though it
can be deceptive. And when you meet someone for the first
time, it takes him just a little time to form an opinion about
you baked on your appearance, clothes and body language.
So I'm convinced, that it's necessary to take care over your
appearance if you want to make a good impression.
Moreover, when you meet someone it's important to be
yourself and not to pretend to be someone else, because the
other person will certainly fell that you're trying to deceive
him. I believe, that it's also important to be positive and
smile a lot, because when you meet someone who is
smiling to you, you start to smile in response to him.
As for me, I think that I also go by appearance. And when I
meet someone, I first look at his face and especially his
eyes, because I believe that our eyes are the mirror of our
souls. And I think that I can really understand whether the
person is kind-hearted and intelligent by looking at them.
But although our appearance is important, we mustn't
forget about our character and behavior. Because our
appearance makes just the first impression, but all in all
other people's sympathy depends on your character.
Problems of parents and children
In my opinion our family is the most valuable thing in our life. But,
unfortunately, almost every family faces different kinds of problems
and misunderstanding. And in opinion the main reason of all
problems between parents and children is generation gap.
It means that adults mentality differs from teenager's. Some people
believe that today all the children are rude, lazy and ill-bred. Other
people, however, think that nowadays parents just can't sometimes
understand their children, their lifestyle and relationships because
times have changed. And some people just dont want to understand
modern views, ideals and system of values. In most cases «new
generation» doesnt understand their parents and becomes depressed
because of this. And sometimes when children talk to adults, they
listen only to their own point of view. On the other hand, today
many elderly people try to understand children's problems and
solve them. And I think that my parents try to keep up with the times
too.
I think I get on with my parents well and I can say that I really
look up to them. However, sometimes we have arguments and
don't see eye to eye, but I think every family has such kind of
problems. So, sometimes my parents can be strict and even tell
me off, for instance, if I want to stay out late or buy something
very expensive. But still the only thing that they want is to
make my life better and, in my opinion, a good parent should
be strict, otherwise his child can become spoilt. So I always try
to understand my parents in such situations. What is more, I
know that I can always rely on my parents and theyll always
do their best to help me.
To sum up I'd like to say that parents and children should just
learn to understand each other and discuss their problems, and
then I think they will solve their problems.
A good parent
In my opinion bringing up children is very difficult,
because you always worry about them. What is more, you
have to be very patient and put up with a lot of things, for
instance, noise and even criticism. Moreover, parents just
can't sometimes get through to their children, as they don't
want to listen their parents' opinion or advice. But still I
hope that the advantages of being a parent outweigh the
disadvantages. In my opinion, a good parent should be
reasonably strict, otherwise his child can become spoilt.
But at the same time a good parent should give their
children confidence and let them know that he loves them.
What is more, a rely good parent should set a good example
through his own behavior, otherwise his children won't look
up to him.
As for me, when I decide to have a family of my own
I'll try to be a good parent for my children, of course.
Personally, I think I wouldn't like to have more than 2
children, because in my opinion having a large family
is too enormous responsibility, which requires a lot of
time and money as well as energy. I strongly believe
that a really good parent should find the balance
between being strict and soft-hearted. And I can say
that my parents have found it, so I sure that I'm a very
lucky child. Well, I know that it is difficult to reach
this balance and it's almost impossible to be an ideal
parent. But still the main thing is that I really want my
future children to be happy, and I want them to look
back on their childhood as a very happy time in their
lives.
A good daughter
In my opinion, a good child is someone who his parents can
always rely on. So a good child must always give his
parents a hand if they need something. Also, a good child
shouldn't try to get out of doing his household chores. What
is more, a good child should honestly look up to his
parents. Moreover, a good child shouldn't argue with his
parents and he must always listen to his parents' advice or
opinion, even though he disagrees with it, because the only
thing parents want is to make their child's life better, even if
they are strict sometimes. But, in my opinion, parents even
should be strict, otherwise their child can become spoilt.
Unfortunately, I can't say that I am an ideal daughter
and, moreover, sometimes I feel very ashamed of my
behavior. I even have arguments with my parents
sometimes and we don't always see eye to eye, but still
I think that nobody is ideal and every family has such
kind of problems. But I honestly try to be better and to
understand my parents more often, because I really
love them and I strongly believe that I'm a lucky child.
So when I decide to have a family of my own I'll try to
be as a good parent for my children as my parents are.
Happy family
In my opinion each person has his own idea of a happy
family. In my opinion the family is happy when each
member can fully rely on the others and has no secrets. The
members the a happy family feel united and loved and they
know that their family will always support them. Also I
think that each member of the family should respect the
others, their privacy and individuality. I think it's wrong
when parents decide who their children must become
instead of them, and I think such children feel unhappy
later on. Moreover, I think that the happy family shares
everything: their problems, their achievements and their
feelings. I think that every member should be heard.
As for me, I think that my family is absolutely happy. I
have caring parents and I really love them, I confide in
them and I can share all my dreams and ideas with them.
What is more, I just know that they will always support me
and do everything to make my dreams come true.
Sometimes we have arguments, but they are not serious
and, I think, every family has such problems. So I can
honestly say that our family is the model of the happy
family for me.
An impressive personality
I think that the most attractive person I've ever seen is
Monica Bellucci. Although I've seen only a few films with
her, I find her extremely talented and fascinating. She's in
her late 40's now, but she looks much younger her age. It
goes without saying that Monica takes much care over her
appearance, so she's very well-groomed and she's really
nice to look at. She's very slim and she has a womanly
figure. She has beautiful long black wavy hair. Monica is
olive-skinned, she has sparkling almond-shaped dark eyes
with long bushy eyelashes, a little straight nose and full
lips. She's always dressed spick and span. But she's not
only an extremely beautiful woman, but also she's a caring
mother and, as far as I know, she's quite intelligent and
cheerful person.
To sum up, I would like to say that Monica Bellucci is my
pearl of beauty. And I hope I'm as charming and wellgroomed
as she is, when I'm her age.
Your friend (character and lifestyle)
I'd like to tell you about my best friend Elizabeth. We met
at school almost 10 years ago, so I can say that I know her
quite well. I think that Liz is very attractive. She will come
of age next year. She's of average height and she has
always been very slim. She has amazing long black wavy
hair. She is olive-skinned, she has dark brown eyes with
long bushy eyelashes, a straight nose and full lips. She
takes much care of her appearance, so Liz looks very smart
all the time. She prefers to wear casual and elegant clothes
as well.
Elizabeth is a very sociable and cheerful person, that's why
she has a lot of friends. In my opinion she's a good mixer
and she always has an interesting story to tell me.
Moreover, I think that she's quite trustworthy. I know that
she will always listen to me and support me if have a
problem, so I really confide in her. But on the other hand,
Liz can be very offensive and moody sometimes. At such
moments she's very reserved and it can be not easy to cheer
her up. But nobody's ideal and I can honestly say that I'm
happy that Elizabeth is my friend.
Unpleasant qualities in people
I think that everyone is not ideal and we all have some bad
qualities. And I think that it's natural. But still in my
opinion over bad qualities mustn't outweigh our good ones.
Also I think that some qualities have double nature, for
instance, modest people are usually polite and quite, but
sometimes they tend to be reserved, which is not very good.
I also believe that every character is formed by the society
to some extent. And, as for me, most of all I dislike rude,
ill-bred people that think only about how to comfort
themselves and aren't interested in other people's feelings.
Also I dislike people that make a lot of promises and don't
keep them. And, of course, I find dishonesty very
unpleasant and I hate when somebody lies to me.
But, of course, I realize that I also have some unpleasant
qualities. Firstly, I can stubborn sometimes. The problem is
that I always have a mind of my own and if I decide
something, I'll stand my ground. Moreover, sometimes I
don't want to listen to others' advice, even if I'm wrong.
Secondly, I'm very sensible. It's too easy to make me fell
sad or happy as well. Sometimes I even can be offensive,
because I take everything to heart. So I really need to
improve my character.
