Eating Customs in Lithuania and the United States Hi everyone, I would be extremely thankful if someone could quickly proofread this paragraph for grammar. The task was to write an academic comparison paragraph on the given topic. The content is not the most important part, so some of the ideas may seem silly. Thank you in advance! Eating customs in Lithuania and the United States Lithuania and the United States have both similarities and differences regarding their eating customs. Just like Americans, people in Lithuania choose to eat three times a day. Eating times are similar in both countries as well. People start their day with breakfast; they then eat lunch later in the day, and each day ends with dinner. Lithuanians have a tradition to have their evening meal with a family. Americans likewise tend to gather around the table for dinner, the time when they share their daily experiences and enjoy being together. There are some differences, however. While Lithuanians prefer home-made food, Americans consume lots of processed and fast food. Furthermore, people in Lithuania usually eat at home and use locally grown products. Americans, on the other hand, tend to eat out at least several times each week. There is also a difference in meal sizes. Lithuanians generally prepare small portions of food and are used to leave their plate empty. In America, in contrast, portions of meals are humongous, and therefore people waste a lot of food that is left unfinished. Although American and Lithuanian eaters have similar eating schedules, the two countries differ in the amounts and types of food their people eat.

A letter to my academic advisor. PART 2 Another thing which is very meaningful in my life is doing sports. I like to take canoe trips and cycling tours, play tennis, volleyball, go swimming and skiing. I go jogging in my spare time; furthermore, I often attend various marathons and other running events. Besides sports, my cultural life is highly active too. I often go to the theatre, attend various concerts and art exhibitions. Every year I take part in Lithuanian national dictation competition which encourages people to cherish their native language. I am proud of my country and I am lucky to speak one of the oldest languages in the world. Nevertheless, I am interested in getting to know different cultures and people’s lifestyle all over the world. This is why I decided to become an exchange student. An exchange experience has definitely changed my life. I became independent and learned to cope with challenges. My self-confidence has increased, and I was given a chance to meet many authoritative leaders. I have improved my educational skills and the knowledge of English. Furthermore, studying abroad has brought me cultural diversity experience, helped me become broad-minded and build lifelong relationships. I want this experience to continue, and this is why I am so excited to join St. Andrew’s community. Being a foreigner in another country also means a chance to introduce my own culture. There is nothing more pleasurable than telling other people about Lithuanian customs, our famous cultural and natural landmarks, and specialties of our cuisine. I always try to notice interesting things about my homeland, because I am sure that every country has something special and unique. I can‘t wait to get to know you as well as the other people that make this community so incredible. I believe that one day I will remember my experience at St. Andrew‘s school as one of the best experiences in my entire life, and that the knowledge and values acquired at your school will guide and lead me for the rest of my life.

A letter to my academic advisor. PART 1 I am Emile, and it is my greatest pleasure to meet you. My friends would probably describe me as a calm and introverted person. That is true, I like to dream and contemplate, but it is not all I am about. I think our friends can see just a small part of our personality; a bigger part is known to ourselves, and a bit of us is never revealed to anyone. It is amazing how many things I learn about myself every day! I am patient, determined, and diligent, motivated to learn and sharpen my mind. Although sometimes I am sensitive and creative. I like to think, observe other people, and write. I am critical, both to myself and the others, ambitious, and confident. I like my perfectionism, although sometimes it becomes a true pain. Education and learning has always played the leading role in my life. I take learning as a way of living and try to notice life lessons at every situation. I have some great achievements in academic subjects. But I am also convinced that our extra-curricular activities are very meaningful as well. I have been attending a music school for nine years and have lots of experience in playing flute and piano. I have participated in many republican contests and festivals. Furthermore, I have been a member of the biggest flute orchestra in Lithuania. Learning and refining my musical skills requires a lot of time; however, I find it as a great opportunity to express myself through music. I also believe that it is very important to be socially active and aware of the issues that surround us. I am interested in current worldwide problems, like the refugee crisis in Europe or terrorist attacks all over the world. I always try not to be indifferent to what is happening in our world, because I believe that global concern can make changes in solving geopolitical, environmental, or social problems. While I am a student, I willingly take part in various social activities in our school or city.

If you had a superpower, what would it be and how would you use it? Since the man’s appearance on Earth, people have wanted to go beyond their limits. They have been looking for ways to extend their lifetime or to predict the future. A human being, the most developed creation, has always felt as the leader of the planet. But suddenly the extreme force of the ocean floods people‘s towns and cities; the strength of the earthquake shakes the ground sweeping everything away; the majesty of fire destroys all in its way. And the human ends up being naked, lost, and scared; he looks just the way he was born. His every attempt to enslave the nature ends up the same. I would not like to have a superpower. I believe that humans were created with enough powers to make their lives miraculous and meaningful. All of the superpowers we need are inside of us. I am most proud of my superpower to love. And I do not have to wear a cape to be a hero. When I am volunteering, when I am teaching somebody, I am the most truthful hero. I am proud of my superpower to listen, sympathize, and forgive. Such things are more heroic than anything else. Of course, there are some abilities I would like to acquire. I would like to have a superpower to maintain my confidence after every setback, to remain motivated throughout the hardest times of my life, to inspire other people as much as they inspire me, and to make people understand how special they seem to me and how thankful I am to have them in my life. If we all used our inner superpowers, the world would be a fantasy. Well, for me it is already a fantasy. With heroes and miracles all around us.
