Its great to be a student. Many colleges and universities offer great opportunities for studying and for social life. Some students even choose to study abroad. There are several reasons why student life is exciting. First of all, students learn what they need for their future profession. Its even better if the student really enjoys the direction he or she chose. Secondly, being a student doesnt mean to work and study all the time. They get plenty of free time for their hobbies and favourite pastimes. Thirdly, students social life is very interesting. When students decide to study in foreign colleges, its also rather exciting. They get to meet lots of new people from other countries. They can practice and improve their language skills. To study at a college students usually have to pay additional fee. College life is amazing in many ways. First of all, there are many interesting lections and training sessions. Secondly, students find all sorts of entertainment there. For example, the ones who like sport join the local sports teams. For many people college years are the best in life. Almost everyone has good memories of student life.

  Business  
Business is an organization which involves the trade of goods and services. Every day thousands of people start their own business. To be successful in business one should have special character traits, for example, to be hard-working, clever, energetic and even adventurous. If a person wishes to launch a new business he or she has to take some preparatory steps. The first one is the selection of a legal form. Different countries have different laws about legal types of businesses. Usually they are a limited liability company, a partnership and a sole proprietor. These forms of business slightly differ. The limited liability company is a legal entity. In case of a bankruptcy it has to reimburse its debts with all its assets. Sole proprietors or partners do not form a legal entity. In case of their bankruptcy they reimburse the debts not only with their assets but also with their own belongings. It includes houses, cars, money, etc. Thats why the majority of businessmen prefer to set up the limited liability companies. The second step is the preparation of certain documents. The third step includes initial investments and the appointment of a director. Every new business has to be registered with the official company register. Business should mainly bring profit. However, the founders sometimes dont have enough experience and make many mistakes. This leads to losses instead of profit. All financial information of the company can be kept in the financial reports. There are a lot of reports submitted annually, semi-annually and quarterly. Every government requires detailed information on the companys performance and collects taxes. Thats why financial reports are important. In conclusion, Id like to add that every business is not an easy activity. Thus, the knowledge of basic economic principles is vital for people who want to set up a business.   , . . , , , , , . , . . . , , . . . . . , . , , .. . . . . . , . , . . , . . . , . , , .      
         

Books in our life

 

My name is Polina. Im thirty-four years old. Im fond of reading. Books take an important place in my life. I was taught to like and take care of books from the childhood. I find out much new, useful and interesting information from books. They teach me to take right decisions and apprehend university subjects better. I can find an answer to any interesting question in books. I get knowledge from them. I like to read books about the Middle Ages and also I like historical and fantastic works. I plunge into another world at once. Also I like scientific stories about animals and plants. The book is a medicine for soul. When I finish reading of a good book I always feel upset because of its fast end. One famous writer said that books are our friends. I completely agree with him. It seems to me that books take an important place in our life and they are necessary for everybody.

Cinema
Cinema is one of the best types of art and cinematography is considered to be one of the rare wonders. It has appeared in the end of the 19th century. Cinema is a combination of different types of art: music, theater, literature, painting and else. Every decade has brought something new for the cinema. For example, in the 30-s the main genres were musicals, gangster stories, mute comedies and horror films. The 70-s were the times of political movies and French comedies. The 90-s brought lots of westerns and spy films. Whereas, nowadays, we have so many new genres, among them thrillers, adventure films, underground, science fiction and many others. The first movies were mute and black-and-white. The sound was invented in 1926. Approximately in the 30-s the first colour movie appeared in the USA, and in the 60-s in our country. The most powerful cinematography is in Hollywood, USA. The majority of world famous films were shot there. Cinemas as entertainment have also appeared a long time ago. People have always liked going to the cinema. It was a perfect idea for a date. Besides, cinema was the only place where people could see new films. Today we have all kinds of possibilities. We can watch new movies in the cinema, on TV, on DVDs, online and else. Before the appearance of DVDs, people used to watch films on video tapes, which is now considered to be a bit old-fashioned. Cinema is also a powerful force in contemporary life. Many famous actors and actresses set the fashion, so the society depends on cinema a lot. British and American people are very fond of cinemas. They are considered to be real cinema-goers.

Music in My Life
Music plays an important role in my life. I simply cant live without music. There are so many kinds of music nowadays, including rap, hip-hop, rock-n-roll, dance, classical, opera, alternative, drum & bass, techno, rock, metal, jazz, reggae, blues, etc. I like nearly all these types. When Im sad I listen to alternative music or rock. When Im in good mood I listen to either hip-hop or dance music. Sometimes my chief takes us to classical concerts or operas, which I also enjoy. When there is a corporate party I like dancing at rap and techno music. Once or twice I went to a jazz concert, which I thought was marvelous. At the moment my favourite band is Linkin Park. I love their songs and listen to them every time I get a spare minute. The reason why I like them is the unusual melody and intelligent texts. The band was formed in 1996 and was named after one of Californian parks.

My home town

My home town is Zaporozhe. Zaporozhe is one of the largest cities in Ukraine located in the south-central part of the country on the Dnieper River beyond its once impassable rapids. It is an important industrial and cultural center, mainly for the world-famous aircraft engine manufacturer, hydroelectric power station and historical heritage of Khortytsia Island.

Thanks to Khortytsia Island, our city has a really special place in Ukraines history. Many years ago, Zaporozhye was the center of Cossack civilization and a strategic site, due to the fact that the island was strategically located (there were many rapids in the river) it was hard to get there. Therefore Cossacks desperate and ruthless warriors managed to build a new society free from Polish and Russian influence. Today Khortytsia Island is home to the Historical Museum of Zaporozhye Cossacks which holds a lot of Cossack artifacts found here.

Another interesting wonder of the city is the Zaporozhye Oak Tree. This ancient tree has always been a symbol of Zaporozhye and historical monument of the country as a whole. The mighty tree 36 meters tall and twenty meters in the girth must have seen unbelievably much in its life. According to the legend it was under this oak that Cossacks wrote the world-famous letter to the Turkish sultan.

Although the city of Zaporozhye is not a maritime city, there are some sandy beaches along the Dnieper River. They are mostly fairly small but very refreshing on hot summer days. One might also like to take a boat trip along the channels and inflows of the Dnieper River, go on a cruise round the island of Khortytsia or enjoy sluicing Dniprohes Dam.

Zaporozhye Dniprohes Dam a magnificent achievement of the Soviet era was built between 1927 and 1932. It is about 700 meters long and about 62 meters high. During the Second World War, the Dam was completely destroyed, but it was rebuilt by 1949. Now it is considered to be one of the Seven Modern Wonders of Ukraine.
