Competition Entry The trip from hell My weekend trip to another city was completely ruined. First of all, there was a call on my phone and confused my bus with the other bus. I took the wrong coach and had to change my way slightly. Besides, my credit card happened to be blocked. I was forced to call my mother to inquire the pin code for the reason that the pin code which I knew, belonged to the other card. Moreover, the waiter at the restaurant I was determined to visit, was quite rude and rather nasty. Additionally, all the tables at that restaurant happened to be booked, by reason of of all schools' leaving parties, and I brought to take a place near the door. Furthermore, when I stopped by a coffee shop, I could not even drink a cup of hot chocolate casually. A stranger started flirting with me and that made me furious. I cherished my dream to be alone and savour my solitude. I struggled to speak on my phone, but the visitor sought to attract my attention. I was thoroughly irritated, as I did not continue to drink the coffee and I ran out. Outside was the horrible weather, - the rain was pouring, which made me upset, due to I could not stroll in the favorite city and urged to leave for home. What is more, I spent all my money which I had planned to keep for celebrating of the studies' year end, and I could not cope with the sudden wave of sadness. When I returned home, my little brother was naughty and crying for his favorite horror movie. I was exhausted, but turned on the TV set for him and had to deal with my feeling of frustration. Only in the evening I was able to calm down and forget that dreadful day. If not for the start of the day, when I took the wrong bus! If not for my hurry and I did not lose the right pin code. If not for that silly waiter and if not for that stranger, I would be able to relish my solitude. That's my unfortunate trip, and what's yours?

CPE Letter Dr Mister Potts, I am writing to you to express my disapproval. I would like to draw your attention on behalf of your recent article. I am convinced that the modern generation is highly promising and enterprising. It's my firm belief that young people nowadays are able to manage any kind of situation. I am totally opposed to the opinion, presented in the newspaper.. My group mates and classmates are auspicious and bright. Some of them are highly creative and gifted. My acquaintance, whose name is Valentina, has been promoted to a supervisor of the regional judicial administration. She achieved such a high position independently, without any help of her parents or friends. Now Valya studies the international law at university. She receives her Master degree and works full time at the same time. She is a self-made person in her 21. My acquaintance is persistent and sagacious, therefore she copes with all her duties at her workplace and at university. Moreover, I can prove my position with other examples. My close friend received her Ph.D. degree in her 24. She is pretty clever and endlessly resourceful. Nadezhda is a brilliant specialist in her field. Furthermore, I would like to give you some additional information. My ex-group mate, who is 21, undertook her own enterprise last year and her company is sufficiently profitable. Would they be able to achieve such ambitious goals, if they were not discerning, sensible, rational and pushful? Would they be able to deal with their tasks if they were so called 'coach-potatoes'? For this reason, I tend to think, that you vastly exaggerate the facts. I reckon, that everything depends on the concrete personality. Some youngsters and young people are indulged, weak-willed and foolish. Nonetheless, I can't stress it enough, lots of adolescents are studious and highly independent. All depends on the upbringing. Young people, who were educated in the proper way, would give a helping hand to their parents, when those would become old. I hope, you will give this matter further consideration.

CAE essay The public in general tend to believe that positive thinking is essential in our life. One cannot deny that a capability to think positive might beat any kinds of anxiety and increase productivity. It is generally agreed that it is fairly crucial to be able to achieve a success, relieving excessive stress and accomplishing long-term goals. The first thing that needs to be said that to overcome nervousness and be productive are equally vital. Nonetheless, in a critical situation is highly indispensable to be concentrated and fulfill the goal. That's why, it's undeniable that to be able to cope with stress helps to prevent occasional mistakes, Furthermore, sometimes it might be significant to be confident and relaxed. Feeling at ease, any person might achieve better results. However, some students can't combat stress with positive thinking. But, on the whole. stress-management is highly effective with positive thinking. Secondly, a possibility to boost efficiency is eminently desirable nowadays. Students, who can expand their capacity, show better results. What is more, individuals, who produce a greater output, have more time for leisure activity. It goes without saying that students, who have more free time for themselves, are more diligent and industrious. Nevertheless, some students might substitute self-encouragement for hard work what can lead to disappointing performance. Albeit, one must admit, that thinking positive is a great tool to enhance efficiency and, as a consequence, to find additional spare time to take rest. Taking everything into consideration, one may conclude that benefits of self-encouragement are valuable equally. Reducing stress and improving productivity take the same proportions as the results of positive thinking. We would not be persistent in the pursuit of our goals, if we did not reassure themselves.
