My trip with children

Helo, my name`s Alexey. I live in the town of Topki. It is located in the region of Kemerovo in Siberia. I am married and have two children. I would like to tell a story about my trip to Turkey. It will help me practice my English. Let`s start.

Three months ago, when I was still paying off the tickets and dreaming of a rest with my whole family, it dawned on me that I would have to look after my children during the whole vacation instead of resting.

My elder daughter didn`t want to visit a dentist, my younger daughter was scared of going by air, so I timidly offered my wife the choice of departing without the children. But my wife said No.

My intuition was justified. The whole vacation I had to lay near the pool, play with my children in the pool and go for ice cream. I would have liked to walk in unknown streets, but my children don`t like walking, and so I could walk only in the evening. Unfortunately, the autumn evening in Turkey is dark.

So, next time we agreed We would go alone.

Why do some people think depression is popular？

Depression is indeed a mental disease which can cause serious results, such as suicide and self-abuse, and some people cannot get over it. Yesterday, I was told that depression is becoming popular. That was scary to hear.

I want to analyse why and include some subtle reasons, including media and individual influences.

As for individuals, depression is a way to escape from difficulties. Everyday people have to connect with individuals, different communities or organisations. Inevitably, conflicts happen<s>ed </s>frequently. Sometimes some ideas cannot be understood; sometimes, the gap between reality and the ivory tower is enormous. Depression seems like a shelter for many people who cannot deal with problems directly. Life provides challenges so that we should become stronger.

On the other hand, media should be taken into consideration, as depression may be reported frequently. Although it is beneficial to stay aware of depression, the facts always attract massive attention from the public. It sets bad examples. Those who are not mature think that depression is popular.
