    Beauty contests

    Beauty contests - it's a beautiful show, which has advantages and disadvantages for the participants.
    I think that to take taking part in a beauty contest is very difficult. It’s need requires a lot of work on yourself. You need to be in a good physical shape, spending a lot of time in the a gym, you eat a little, work on his your gait, over his own body, manners and gestures, to follow maintain the  your skin. This is a very stressful job and takes a lot of time.
    Many girls break down midway and do not reach the end.
    Every girl wants to win, but in the end many are disappointed if they do not to take the first place.
    I don’t believe that beauty contests are carried out honestly. I think that many people con others, spoil clothes, shoes, hairstyle,  or face and other things. Many judges are bribed and they don't vote the way they want, and do what they say were told to do. I think the victory depends on money and connections, not from  on the beauty and talents of participants.
    Of course, there are several advantages for those who want to pursue a career in modelling. Some girls after the contest to get a variety of offers from modeling modelling agencies after the contest, andthey will have the opportunity to travel the world. The other Other girls can change the their personal life and have a successful marriage. 

    I would never want to participate in a beauty contest, because I don't believe in honesty of this contest.

    Just looking for the easiest way to say my sentence

    Hello everyone!

    I just want to ask you the easier way to say the following phrase (and is it correct?):

    Take the box and turn it over so that its contents will fall falls down on the floor.

    I have found the verb 'to pour out' in my dictionary, but all the examples of its using are for water. And what if there are some items in that box and not water? 'to empty'?

    Thank you for attention!

    Stop the USA team

    Everybody in the world knows that  the USA team is the best ever. And it is impressive  cause at all the competitions, they put a good team. since In 1992, the famous "dream team" started to play. These guys are amazing, but deep down I feel in the deep part of my heart, is there a way to stop them. I know, it's too extremely tough, almost impossible, but not impossible. As such So, take more valorizacion (?) on the ball, don't miss easy shots over  from them, give at all your blood all your heart on the court, move the ball quickly and efficiently seeking for the basket. And mainly most importantly, faith  believe that you can do it.
    We know they're in  at another level, put on all the team's effort together, but  and exist a find your way. Just believe.

    My all  best respect to the USA team.

    метро

    Сейчас я сижу в метро и еду до последней остановки. 
    В купе вагоне есть несколько человек вокруг меня сидят несколько человек. 
    Половина от из них женщины. 
    Например, через два метра далеко от меня сидит сорокалетняя женщина. У неё короткие коричневые недлинные волосы. Её очки не идут на ней (неё?) ей, потому что ей менее сорока лет, а у неё уношые старомодные очки. 
    Сейчас она сняла очки, как бы она услышала, что я подумал про её очков очки. 
    Старый человек рядом со мной испытывает пытается узнать, на каком языке я запишу на в моей тетради. Я не думаю, что он понимает по-русски. 
    Но иногда я встречаюсь с русскоговорящим человеком (он не русский), который интересуется, что чем я занимаюсь. 
    Даже иногда Один раз я встретился с каким-то кем-то, кто использует пытался доказывать, что его русский получше, чем мой русский. Иногда это смешно, а но обычно раздражительно раздражает. 
    Это не ваше дело! Обратите внимание на ваше дело Займитесь своими делами, у меня терпения не хватает.
