The best ways of reducing the stress People have different ways of escaping the stress and difficulties of modern life. Some read; some exercise; others work in their gardens. What do you think are the best ways of reducing stress? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nowadays, people face with a lot of stress. Everyday work can be very monotonous and escaping this routine can be hard. As far as I’m concerned, I assert that reading a book, watching a movie, and going in for sports can help to reduce the stress. Whenever I am frustrated or had a bad day, I read a book. I prefer classical books like ‘Martin Eden” of Jack London. I like this fiction book because the main character of the book, Martin Eden, deals with a lot of problem. These problems are more difficult than mine. And what does Martin? He never gives up. He struggles every day and eventually becomes a famous writer. Then, I think that I can achieve my goal and I am able to overcome my difficulties. The second thing that I do to avoid the stress is watching a movie. For instance, when I’m tired and I came from university after lots of studying, I turn my laptop on, lie back, and enjoy my favorite movie ‘Back to the future”. It’s about time travelling and it’s really riveting. I relax and have good sleep that night. Next day I am ready to “hit the books” again. Finally, I go in for sports to get my mind off problems. I used to play football when I studied at school. Now, I am into swimming and I swim two times a week. Swimming makes me calm and there is no thoughts in my head while I am swimming. In addition, I learn how to swim breaststroke, killing two birds with one stone. To sum up, I believe that aforementioned reasons are the best ways of reducing stress in modern life.

Going back some time in the past If you could go back to some time and place in the past, when and where would you go? Why? Use specific reasons and details to support your choice. From the very childhood I like the idea of time travelling. I was fascinated about going to the past when I watched “Back to the future” movie. If I was given a chance to go back in time, I’d go to 10th century, to Central Asia. The first reason is that I want to look at rising of “Samanids” dynasty. It’s basically the beginning of Tajik history. As a citizen of Tajikistan, I love to see with my own eyes the time when we, Tajiks, were one of the great civilizations in the world. As an example, the 10th century was time when science and literature had improved and developed like never before. Samanids was a powerful state covering modern territories of Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. Secondly, 10th century was time when great poets like Rudaki, who is the founder of Tajik modern literature, created their work. Rudaki is also my favorite poet because I can easily understand his poems and what he is saying with it. My favorite Rudaki’s poem is ‘Bui jui Muliyan’, which is about a small river in Bukhara (modern Uzbekistan). Rudaki devoted his poem to Emir (imperior) of Bukhara. Rudaki conveys in this poem how pleasing and relaxing place in Muliyan and that Emir should come back to Bukhara, to his motherland. Finally, I want to see how Emir controlled his government. It’s not so hard to take control of small area and rule as a king. But when it comes to enormous country like Samanids, it demands a good quality and feature of a person. In 10th century the king was Emir Alimkhan. He’s an incredible man and I really want to talk to him about controlling Samanids. Because of the aforementioned reasons, I want to visit Central Asia in 10th century.

Parents are the best teachers Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. The question is whether parents are the best teachers. Personally speaking, I assert that they are the best teachers because of love to child, their experience and that they know what it is best for their child. Parents love their child. Love is something that makes parents teach carefully and patiently. For instance, when I was 8 years old, my father and I were learning Math together. I could not understand basic things, such as adding, subtracting. But my father waited and taught me again and again until I completely understood it.This showed me how my father loved me. Another great thing about parents is that they have a lot more experience than child does. Parents went through all difficulties because they were child by themselves. They know how to overcome problems in life. A month ago, for instance, my brother-in-law was injured in car accident. His leg was broken. He was in hospital and suffered from a lot of pain. It was his mother who came everyday to hospital and told his son to be brave and said that all this bad stuff that are happening will gone. She was right because his leg healed and he is not suffering anymore. Parents know what is best for their children. For example, after graduating high school I didn’t know what university to enroll. I passed exams and was accepted to university in my hometown, Khujand, and university in Russian city Kemerovo. It was my mother who advised to me to go to Russia and study there. Looking back now I am sure that it was right decision to study there because I got experience that I would never got in Khujand. To sum up, because of aforementioned reasons, I believe that parents are the best teachers.
