- Certificate of Advanced English essay: To be or not to be To be ,or not to be, that is the question (essay) This the question that generalizes the entire life. Shakespeare`s ingenuity makes us go in deep thoughts and insights wondering whether to be or not. The outrageous plot in "Hamlet" is hardly understandable, however we are supposed to take such crucial decisions in our problematic world. Nowadays our mind is getting more and more complicated. Drastic change may happen as fast as a blink of an eye, so redefining ourselves is something very common. Choosing between two paths is a part of our being which everyone is familiar with. Personally, I think most of the people choose to be and that is why our environment is so brutal. This really might elevate your life to the next level as well as drag you back to the bottom. You have to be self-confident, otherwise life may seem terrible. You risk losing more than you are likely to win. On the other hand, choosing "not to be" has its positive sides. First of all your life is not so stressful and dynamic. People do not focus their attention on you so much. You may work to emerge on the big stage for years, without being noticed. This gives an advantage as no one expects that you will make your own shocking revolution. In conclusion, life is too short to think weather to be or not. In my opinion following our intuition is the best option.October 25, 201400
- Certificate of Advanced English (CAE) writing 5 Happiness is a State of Mind Which Everyone Wishes to Reach Being happy in our stressful world is a real achievement nowadays. Depression is something common that leads people to commit suicides or get drugs and alcohol in order to get out of their terrible reality. There is no doubt that everyone has some awful moments throughout his life. However, can we tell our brain that there is no big deal? The huge problem we contemplate is just a minor one. Is happiness a state of mind? Yes, it definitely is. As elements have its liquid, solid and gaseous state, mind also has its happy, angry and sad one. There are numerous of ways that transfer you to the world of happiness. One is called 'The love alley'. If you go through it you will be on top of the world! Crossing this alley has its risks if you are emotionally unstable and have a fear of rejection but as you get to the other side you will receive immense satisfaction. Another way to the `HappyLand` is so called `The road to success`. It is not as risky as the other one but no way can you succeed if you do not work hard. You may have working sleepless nights as you are passing the road but when you are done it is guaranteed that you will be fulfilled and inspired by yourself alone. Do not stop chasing your dreams no matter how illusive they are. The happiness will rise in the horizon.September 27, 201410
Loneliness - Is a big problem of our times? (I would really appreciate if you correct my mistakes ;))
Nowadays, more and more people are becoming alone
Some people dedicate their lives to career, whereas others don't have any opportunity to create a good relationship.
But where is this going?
Personally, I think we should realise that someone who has a problem with loneliness could suffer from health disorders in the future.
Nervous breakdown or even social phobia are likely to occur
What`s more some people may commit a suicide . This is a huge problem in our society, because how can we help people when we don't spend enough time with them?
Another harmful effect of the loneliness is the less sense of belongings for all society as we can even imagine( I did not get the point) . People who lives alone, don't need anyone. They prefer their computer, career or book instead of being social and start a family. There is a tendency for lonely people to increase so it might have detrimental effect on our society.
Please correct my mistakes and also explain me why I should write some sentence in other ways...
(I'm not sure if i use "others" "the other" in the right way)
(I have also a problem with has/have after "people")This is my first correction I have ever made! So you may have more mistakes than I corrected.
people is plural noun so people have is correct. Here you can read the differance between others, the other and another http://www.grammar.cl/english/another-other-others.htm :)

Yes, it obviously is. On The World Awareness Day, Environmental activists and students from the High School of Environmental Science made a film based on the huge impact we have on our nature.

That way students are about to solve the problem with obesity. What`s more, the organizers of the event inspired children to play football instead of computer games. They displayed funny illustrations on how playing sports compared to sitting in front of your computer affect your health. In conclusion, more events like this one should be organized. They may only have positive sides and become more enthusiastic to our world.September 10, 201400
- The Power of Media The Power of Media There is no doubt that media have huge influence on people. All world broadcasters inform us what is happening around the globe. BBC, CNN, DW give us all we need to be up to date. Media are a real business. A big number of businessmen advertise their products and multiply the cost of their investment several times. No matter how good your business is, media will popularize and make it profitable. Television has the ability to manipulate and define your choice. Sometimes it may be even more powerful than the public authority. However, Radio, Newspapers and Television may have positive side. They are likely to solve problems. There are a lot of TV programs that have the aim to cope with different issues. You could telephone them and express your opinion live. Another advantage media offer is that you can get useful information. This will protect you from future disasters or unexpected situations. You will also get an opinion about the main headlines. Nevertheless adds might have detrimental effect, especially on elderly people who can be easily tricked. My grandma once bought a vacuum cleaner advertised as the best in the world. Eventually it turned out to be a terrible one. It broke on the second day. In conclusion, media have its advantages and disadvantages so we have to be a bit cautious what effect all broadcasting stuff might have. The power of the media makes our world global. Thanks to the Internet we are able to connect with anyone on our planet within less than a second.September 8, 201400
- Certificate of Advanced English (CAE) writing 4 Something to say about travel? Getting to know the world, meeting different cultures, changing your overview are all possibilities travelling can offer. Our world is getting more and more worldwide and proportionally new travel opportunities are rising on the horizon. But is visiting all kind of tourist destinations a good investment? Some people are glad of what they have seen, whereas others are not. Personally, I think that it is all about your expectations. If they are extremely high you are likely to be disappointed. This happens mainly because of commercial purposes. The media advertises a worth seeing tourist region you intend to visit and when you go there it turns out to be nothing more than terrible place where only deluded losers visit. However, travelling around the world has its positive sides especially if you are an extrovert person who has a courage to communicate with strangers. In my opinion this is a great way to make new friends or improve your speaking skills at least. Another advantage travelling can offer is the knowledge you gain. There is nothing more precious than this. You are not able to learn it from books that is why it is so priceless. On one hand It may be terrible if you are waiting on the bus stop for hours, but on the other why not to get your daily dose of social interaction with the people around you.September 6, 201410
- Certificate of Advanced English (CAE) WRITING 3 Is real conversation dying because of technology? By the art of conversation we express our feelings and statements. Nowadays we cannot live without it. Technology also plays a vital role in our environment. But is the one able to overlap the other? Is real conversation dying because of facebook, twitter or Skype? I would not be wrong if I said that technology has conquered our surroundings. It is all around us, changing our lifestyle at a steady pace. When I was young I was going out playing with the other children in my neighbourhood everyday and by playing football or whatever we wanted we communicated with one another. Now I rarely spot any boys or girls in the hood. However, I see them online on facebook rather often. It is obvious that "modern children" more type than talk. This is an example of how the real conversation is extinguishing because of the social network technology. Nevertheless, there are cases where science helps the art of conversation like the Stephen Hawking`s one. This man is unable to talk as he has an illness. Thanks to advanced electronics his problem has been solved. He uses a computer which is connected to his brain and converts the process of thinking into speech. This is really fascinating. Computers, smartphones and other devices for communication have its benefits and downsides. On one hand they speed up the time to receive a message, but on the other hand they kill the unique interaction between people who talk face to face. In spite of that I am on the view that there is no danger of losing our conversation skills at all. There will be always people like my grandma who cannot stop talking.September 3, 201410
