What might attract foreigners to Estonia? Estonia is a small country in Nothern Europe, but it is visited by people all over the world. One of the things that definitely attracts people is the seasons. There are four seasons in Estonia- spring, summer, autumn, winter. I think they make Estonia very special. Another thing is the climate. It is not too cold in winter or too warm in summer. Winters are usually snowy and you can go skiing and ice skating. In the summer you can enjoy days at the beach. The capital city of Estonia is Tallinn, which has a very beautiful Old Town. Pärnu is the summer capital, which attracts people with its beautiful beach. There are a lot of isalands, lakes and rivers in Estonia. Saaremaa is the biggest island, and it is very beautiful. Saaremaa has a lot of places to visit like Angla's Windmill park, different churches, camping places. Hiiumaa is another island, but it is smaller than Saare...

Good morning my dear classmates and teacher. I'm here to talk about one reason why is good live in Estonia. Estonia is a state in the Baltic region of Northern Europe. Estonia is a very beautiful country because of its versatility. I can read a lot of reasons for living here. We have a very beautiful nature, which will take many speechless. We have also a lack of mineral resources, which is very important to us. These reasons may be very much to read. Each person has their own reason why he likes to live in Estonia. For me personally the most important thing is our language. Estonian language have very many rules that make it very difficult to learn for some people. If leave those rules aside, is the Estonian language in terms of its sound very nice, that even many foreigners are admired that and are happy to listen it. Here I would like to ask, is the Estonian important for you? Rise your hand for whom it's important. Thank you, it...
in Pirita, Maarjamae Palace, Russalka and the Memorial Monument of Estonia's Shipwreck. Popular places where tourists go are also Toompea Hill on which Tallinn was founded in the 12th century, the Parliament House, Alexander Newsky Orthodox Cathedral and the Dome Church. Tourists have a chance to view Old Tallinn from the observation platform. In lower Old town they will see the ancient St.Nicholas Church, the Medieval Town Hall and the Town Hall Square. Estonian people are very friendly with foreigners. Estonians know alot of foreign languages so communicating is easy. Tourists will probably like that. In conclusion Estonia is a great place to visit. Everything in Estonia is tourist friendly. Thats because of the people in here and for the tourist attractions. Unfortunately due to our climate the weather isnt so great in Estonia. But in spite of that tourists still visit us quite oftenly.

The West End Trafalgar Square is called the heart of London because it connects the political area of Westminster to the rest of West London. Lord Nelson's column stands in the center of the beautiful square. Horatio Nelson was a great British commander who defeated Napoleon in the Battle of Trafalgar but unfortunately he himself was killed. To the north and west from the Trafalgar Square is the West End, which is London's main shopping and entertainment area. Most of London's best residential and commercial areas are in the West End. You can find there expensive shops, restaurants, hotels, museums and many art galleries. Great Britain's biggest department store is in Knightsbridge. It was founded in 1834 by Charles Henry Harrod. Harrods is also the world's first building with an escalator. Today Harrods is an amazing place with over 330 shops, which includes twenty-six fine eating places, where you can go eat...

streets. For older people the main attraction is in theatres, great museums and parks. In the past few years, the number of immigrants has grown rapidly because of the widening of the European Union. It is now easier for people to travel inside the EU. Londoners are well known for their politeness but not all of them deserve this kind of fame. There are many people living in London who do not accept other races and religions. They do not like foreigners visiting London as tourists nor living there. Racism is most common among young people or in areas where many coloured people live. The most common act of racism is calling names. There are very many coloured people in London and it is offensive to call them "nigga", "negro" or "Japs". But calling names isn't the worst act of racism. Many immigrants get beaten up or bullied because of their religion or ethnic origin. Some get killed and commit suicide because of the bulling
If you have someone's home and work telephone number, call him or her at work until invited to call his or her home Good to know Eye contact is important as long as it isn't too obtrusive. Don't chew gum in public. It's considered vulgar. Slapping an open palm over a closed fist is considered rude. And please do not snap your fingers! The French smile shouldn't be perceived as a greeting or a sign of approval. Summary Although French people might sometimes be perceived to be rude by foreigners, formal language and behavior are considered very important. If you're headed to France for business reasons, you'll want to know a little bit about French business etiquette. In general, the French are very formal in their cocial customs , and this transfers right over into the business world. Thank you for listening!
fight for Estonia whenever it is necessary. They are ready to give their life for the freedom of their homeland. One the other hand, there are many young Estonians who want to go to study abroad and sometimes they stay there for the rest of their lives. They think that life is better compared to the contitions Estonia has to offer. Also, many young women are convinced that Estonian men are dolts and wusses and think that foreigners make much better husbands for them and better fathers of their children. So, this is the point where young Estonian men should step out for themselves and prove that this belief is not true. There is yet another a well-known saying that describes the attitudes of Estonian young very well: it states that people always want that they have not. Looking from here everything seems to be better in the West education has higher quality and salaries are bigger
Under 15 years of age 18% 15-64 years of age 66.3% 65 years of age and over 15.7% The proportion of population of pensionable age is increasing. People are living longer. Their life expectancy at birth is over 70 years in the developed world (improvement in health care, medicines and people's diets). The ethnic minority population has a younger age structure than the white population. Why British not English? Many foreigners say "England" and "English" when they mean "Britain", or the "UK", and "British". This is very annoying for the 5 million people who live in Scotland (the Scottish), the 2.8 million people in Wales (the Welsh) and 1.5 million in Northern Ireland (the Irish) who are certainly not English. However, the people from Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England are all British. What makes the Scottish, Welsh, English and Northern Irish different from each other
incorporated a number of unregistered foreign migrants. In terms of origin, about 55 per cent of island residents were born in Ibiza, 35 per cent are immigrants from mainland Spain (mostly working-class families from Andalusia, and the remainder from Catalonia, Valencia and Castilla), and the about remaining 10 to 15 per cent are foreign, dual and multi-national citizens of the EU and abroad (Govern de les Illes Balears - IBAE 1996). In decreasing order, foreigners are Germans, British, Latin Americans, Moroccans, French, Italians, Dutch, in addition to a myriad of other nationalities. This mosaic reflects the fluidity of foreigners living and moving across the island, in ways that render impossible to exactly quantify the expatriate population (Rozenberg 1990).

I am 19 years old and am studying German at university. I am in my third year and would like the opportunity to practise my language skills with foreigners. I also speak some Spanish.

Etiquette in england *meeting and greeting · The British are reserved, which may cause them to appear cool and indifferent or overly formal. In fact, they are very friendly and helpful to foreigners. · Shake hands with everyone present men, women, and children at business and social meetings.

the economic restructuring process in Estonia." Urmas Varblane Foreign investments Sound and liberal economic policies and excellent business climate has ensured a continuous growth of foreign direct investment (FDI) into Estonia. During the last 15 years Estonia has been one of the leading countries in Central and Eastern Europe in terms of inward investment per capita. Numerous foreign companies have found Estonia to be a highly attractive location. Companies partly or wholly owned by foreigners account for one-third of Estonian GDP and over 50 percent of the country`s exports. The general trends in foreign direct investment inflows can be summarized as follows: · during 1995-1996 the majority of the foreign direct investments were privatization-related; · there is an increase in terms of reinvested earnings since 1996 which was 66% of the total annual inflow of FDI in 2007; · there is a trend towards increasing share of cross-border acquisitions;
These seemingly social occasions are an opportunity for your Estonian colleagues to get to know you as an individual and develop a personal relationship. Since this is a culture that prefers to do business with friends, consider time spent at meals as important as time spent at the negotiating table. Although Estonians juxtapose business and social situations, it is important to maintain a formal demeanour at meetings. Estonians dislike an overly casual attitude towards business, especially from foreigners. It generally takes several meetings to reach a decision. In most cases, decisions are still made at the top of the company, so unless you are meeting with the top echelon of the company, what you propose will have to make its way up the chain of command for approval. Older businesspeople are generally only fluent in Estonian or Russian. Therefore, you may wish to have an interpreter with you at meetings. Thank you for listening!
did it use to be, what are the personifications of Britain (there are 2); what are the British like, what are your own views, etc. The British are said to be reserved in manners, dress and speech. They are famous for their politeness, self-discipline and especially for their sense of humour. British people have a strong sense of humour which sometimes can be hard for foreigners to understand. They drink a lot of tea-mostly strong and dark with milk. They eat fish and chips (used to be wrapped in newspaper). Gentleman, football, beer.

the centre were the whare hui or the meeting house was located. Maori history has never been written down, instead it was preserved in songs and chants, some of which like war chant or haka and challenge or wero, are still used today. The first European explorers arrived to New Zealand in the mid 1600s but in general it is said that Aotearoa was discovered by Captain James Cook. He arrived there in 1769 and grabbed the land for the British crown. From this came the flow of foreigners to New Zealand, first contacts with the Maori people were full of misunderstanding and conflicts. In 1840 the Treaty of Waitangi was signed between the Maori and the British, with what the Maori accepted the British colonization in exchange for the protection of their lands. But still, 20 years later a war between the Maori and white people or pekaha broke out and finally the native people of New Zealand were defeated. New Zealand was given

The most numerous national minorities are: Slovaks (1.89%); Poles (0.51%); Germans (0.38%); Ukrainians (0.22%); Vietnamese (0.17%); Hungarians (0.14%); Russians (0.12%); Romani (0.11%); Bulgarians (0.04%); and Greeks (0.03%).[27] According to some estimates, there are actually more than 200,000 Romani people in the Czech Republic. There were 436,116 foreigners residing in the country in October 2009, according to the Czech Interior Ministry, with the largest groups being Ukrainian (132,481), Slovak (75,210), Vietnamese (61,102), Russian (29,976), Polish (19,790), German (14,156), Moldovan (10,315), Bulgarian (6,346), Mongolian (5,924), American (5,803), Chinese (5,314), British (4,461), Belarusian (4,441), Serbian (4,098), Romanian (4,021), Kazakh (3,896), Austrian
of normal humans.) This is an allusion to the wars fought underKing William III and Queen Anne against France under Louis XIV, the War of the Grand Alliance (16891697) and the War of the Spanish Succession (17011713). In both cases, the claims of the exiled House of Stuart were marginal to other causes of war, but were an important propaganda point in Great Britain itself, as both James II and James Francis Edward were accused of allying with foreigners to force Catholicism on the British people. One of the first traditions that appear in the chapter is ropedancing. Ropedancers are Lilliputians who are seeking employment in the government, for the performance, as a competitive examination, the candidates dance on ropes, or "a slender white thread, extended about two foot, twelve inches from he ground" (73); whomever jumps the highest earns a position in office.

The results were disastrous. Indian citizenship Act of 1924 Until the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, Indians occupied an unusual status under federal law. Some had acquired citizenship by marrying white men. Others received citizenship through military service, by receipt of allotments, or through special treaties or special statutes. But many were still not citizens, and they were barred from the ordinary processes of naturalization open to foreigners. Congress took what some saw as the final step on June 2, 1924 and granted citizenship to all Native Americans born in the United States. Trail of Broken Treaties of 1972 The Trail of Broken Treaties Caravan is primarily known as an American Indian Movement (AIM) protest that occurred in 1972. Events such as this were designed to bring attention to the mistreatment and bleak future the First Nations found themselves facing as a result of the colonization process and its after effects.

The standard varieties of English are: BrEng (British), EngEng (English), NAmEng (North-America), USEng (United States), CanEng (Canada), AusEng (Australia), NZEng (New Zealand). Standard English (British English) is the most widely accepted and understood among native speakers, learned by foreigners. It is used in broadcasting, TV, news etc. It doesn't concern pronounciation (accent), but grammar and vocabulary. It includes formal and informal styles. British Standard English grammar and vocabulary, together with the RP accent should be called English English. RP (Received Pronounciation) is an accent that originates from South-East of England. A social accent, associated only with England. 12-15% of native speakers in England use Standard English (BrEng). 3-5% of them use RP (EngEng).

Streets Medieval Tallinn had narrow streets. The streets were named after various occupations or other characteristics, such as Rüütli (Knight's) Street, Munga (Monk's) Street, Kuninga (King's) Street, Pagari (Baker's) Street, Pikk (Long) Street, Lai (Broad) Street, Karja (Cattle) Street. There were some ancient streets in Tallinn which had obviously been named before the qonquest, marking the destination they finally led, like Harju and Viru Street. Foreigners usually had different names for such streets. The streets were paved since the beginning of the 14th century. Pikk Jalg was among the first to be paved. Town Hall Square got its cover in 1310. There were no streetlights. The houses had no numbers and were known by the owner's name. Churches The Cathedral of St. Mary the Virgin (the Dome Church) was consecrated in 1240. The church suffered in the fire of 1684 and was largely reconstructed. A Baroque tower
It was adopted by nationalist movements and transformed into a national designation that encompassed the entire population of the Philippines, especially the descendants of the native Austronesian peoples. In fact, the meaning of Filipino today is the opposite of its colonial meaning, since it tends to refer only to the predominantly native Austronesian population and excludes the mestizos of mixed Spanish descent, as well as the non- mixed criollos, who are seen as foreigners despite the fact that they are Filipino like everybody else. This has to do with the American colonization of the Philippines after the Spanish-American war, as racial labels were applied to non-white peoples, and the term "Filipino" was mistakenly used by Americans in U.S. newspapers and magazines as a racial label (instead of as a nationality) to refer to those in the islands of pre-dominantly Austronesian descent -- a sense

the special decision of Government of Georgia which is issued pursuant to the submission of the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia (The "Ministry"). The privatization of agricultural land situated in the first ring of the sanitary protection of the wa- ter supply facilities (the zone of strict regulation) is allowed only if observance of the conditions of sanitary protection is guaranteed. Georgian legislation imposes some restrictions on foreigners wishing to participate in the priva- tization of State owned agricultural land. In this case, only a Georgian citizen or company regis- tered in Georgia are entitled to purchase such land. A branch of foreign company is not consid- ered a Georgian company. Foreigners are also prevented from participating in the privatization of forests of former collec- tive and Soviet farms situated within the borders of a settled territory (artificially planted specific
Some people criticize English food. They say it's unimaginable, boring, tasteless, it's chips with everything and totally overcooked vegetables. The basic ingredients, when fresh, are so full of flavour that British haven't had to invent sauces to disguise their natural taste. What can compare with fresh pees or new potatoes just boiled and served with butter? Why drown spring lamb in wine or cream and spices, when with just one or two herbs it is absolutely delicious? If you ask foreigners to name some typically English dishes, they will probably say "Fish and chips" then stop. It is disappointing, but true that, there is no tradition in England of eating in restaurants, because the food doesn't lend itself to such preparation. English cooking is found at home. So it is difficult to a good English restaurant with a reasonable prices. In most cities in Britain you'll find Indian, Chinese, French and Italian restaurants.

empire) as he spent on the entire Russian bureaucracy. He was forced to dismantle the province's government. After 1718, Peter established colleges in place of the old central agencies of government, including foreign affairs, war, navy, expense, income, justice, and inspection. Later others were added. Each college consisted of a president, a vice-president, a number of councilors and assessors, and a procurator. Some foreigners were included in various colleges but not as president. Peter believed he did not have enough loyal and talented persons to put in full charge of the various departments. Peter preferred to rely on groups of individuals who would keep check on one another. Decisions depended on the majority vote. In 1722 Peter created a new order of precedence known as the Table of Ranks. Formerly, precedence had been determined by birth. To deprive the Boyars of their high positions, Peter

Nigerians pride themselves as one of the most educated people in the world. It has all kinds of engineers, including petroleum and geological engineers. Oil was discovered in Nigeria in1948. But you know what? Nigeria still imports refined oil at exorbitant rates. It does not have engineers who prospect for the oil; it does not have engineers who drill for the oil; it does not have engineers who refine the oil. It imports the oil. Nigeria has two oil refineries – all built by foreigners. To maintain these refineries they must import the experts (whites) who built the refineries to repair any minor problems. When one of the refineries was out of 13 production for a long time in 1998, over $475 million was awarded to repair it. Despite the fact that the refinery has been in existence for more than 15 years, Nigerians had not learned to repair the refinery.
Underline the verb forms in your notebooks. a) In the late 8th century the Vikings captured and settled northern France. The Viking leader forced the French king to give him the title of duke. After Edward’s death the Witan chose Harold to be king, but Duke William claimed the English crown. He defeated Harold and they crowned William king. We know William I as William the Conqueror. The English remember the year 1066 as the last time that foreigners invaded Britain successfully. b) The Normans did not settle any large areas in England. Instead, William gave large estates to his barons, the latter gave part of their land to knights. They all had to give the king part of the produce of the land (in cash or in kind). We call this arrangement a feudal system. The Normans put down all the rebellions and destroyed most of the English lords. c) William inherited Normandy from his father, and won England in war.
over the world, and a form of uniform mauve or Maltese colour with yellow eyes. There are no "palace" cats in Siam. There are no "royal" cats, although the strikingly marked creatures would be the natural ones to be kept in palaces. Any person can have a Siamese cat, and as a matter of fact there are many people outside the palaces and many foreigners who keep such cats as household pets. There are no "temple" cats. The Buddhist priests, who do not live in the temples but in special buildings in the temple grounds, may keep cats, as they do dogs. A Siamese prince whom I know very well was visiting in London and was interviewed by one of the thousands of Siamese cat fanciers there. He told her there were more Siamese cats in London than in all Siam. You probably know about the cat not peculiar to Siam but found over much of South Eastern
