advantages, first of all it depends only of the person. Every person has their own taste and idea of the world that they live in. For example, I like living in city, but I have also a friend, who thinks that living in country is good for her health and mind, which is why she approves it. However, some people, who approves living in country still lives in city. Cure for going against their wishes is that some people decorates their apartment or house with paintings of peaceful and bright-colored landscapes as it brings not only a sense of artistic consciousness to their home, but also makes them feel cosy and allows them to at least temporarily forget about daily routine and pollution, crime (especially in bigger, crowded cities) and noise they have to endure when they go outside. I'd say that it is disadvantages for living in a city. On the other hand advantages of living a city life are easier communication, access to stores
Life in Town versus Life in the Country Lif in Town versus Life in the Country is different for all practical purposes. Most people live in Town perennially, although life in the Country would be more peaceful. Between Town and the Country, it is not right to say, which place makes people happier- it depends on us. Life in the Country is peaceful and pure. People who will locate to live in the Country, cold be a good relationship with nature. Life in the Country is easier in many ways: quiet, fresh air, cheaper food, comfortable. In the Country people don't live very close to each others, which makes life more peacuful, there is opportunity to feel privacy. Air is less polluted than in Town, which enlarge people lenght of life. Food and other important things

Living in the country has acquired certain reputation, that indicates dirtiness, dullness and uncoiseness with a life in the countryside. True, that a life in the city may seem more entertaining, rapid and fastinating, but it's only an illusion which is brought out due to the commotion in the city. But life in the countryside is more healthy due to the unpolluted air, possibility to evolve agriculture and an elbowroom in which one can dabble sports. One negative side effect accompanies living in the country is absense of infrastructures. Many important institutions locate too far and due to that transportation is an important subject while living in the country. To sum up, living in the city is comfortable but noisy and living in the country is peaceful but time-consuming.
Tolerance and Diversity Janne Susi In today's world, the coexistence of different cultures is one of the most vital developments. Furthermore, the principles of tolerance and peaceful coexistence of different nations have often been underlined by the representatives of the European Union. The same ideas have lately been spreading in the Baltic countries. So, what are the main dangers to the tolerance and friendly coexistence in these countries? There are several phenomena which counteract the successful coexistence and integration of people from different cultural backgrounds. First and foremost, both coexistence and

There were some problems I want to talk about, which was not mention in brochure. Firstly, when we arrived at the airport, there were not any coach waiting for us but brochure said that transfer was included. Because of that we had to take a taxi and it was very expensive. What is more, the beach was far from hotel which was unpleasant surprise. In addition, entire resort was crowded and very noisy but travel agent described it as quiet and peaceful area. Last but not least, our hotel room was tiny and not comfortable for three people to live in, it was dirty also. Furthermore, towels were dirty during our two weeks holiday. In conclusion, I think the travel agent should offer some compensation for us, because of false information in brochure and bad service in hotel. I am looking forward receiving your reply Yours faithfully Riho Kirsipuu Number of words: 167
WT Letter to a Friend Dear Tom, Sorry I haven't written you for a while, but I've just returned from a a week's holiday in United Kingdom, London. We stayed in one of the city's best hotels. The hotel was Radisson SAS and it was right in the centre of the city. It was ideal to go sightseeing and shopping. London is spectacular city. It's the largest city in the United Kingdom, very historic, cultured, peaceful and beautiful at the same time. Did you know, that London has the oldest, longest and the most expensive underground network, dating from 1863 called The Tube? There are plenty of things to do there, too. We stent most of our time shopping and visiting the main sights, like The Big Ben Tower, National Gallery and Royal Opera House, where I saw the best concert I've ever seen! Unfortunately, I lost my passport to the Royal Opera House, but luckily some kind person had already handed
However, in the countryside people can enjoy the silence and relax without paying any money. Also, in the countryside the environment is much greener and cleaner as in the cities the air is more polluted, which can damage our health. Living in a city, people have much better accessibility for things in need, like food, medications etc., because important industries and shopping centres are usually close to the consumers. Whether one likes a fast living rhythm and to socialize or a peaceful and clean environment choosing a living place is totally up to the persons preferences.

St. Peter's church, located over the river, is a red- bricked, pseudo-Gothic. It was built in 1884, allowing it to seat up to 3,000 people. The large altar painting was created by Estonia's artist, Johann Köler, in 1897. St. Paul's Church is located along Riia. The style looks a little bit different from the other churches, because it was built by famed Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen in 1917. Well, if you want, you can enter to see the underground areas, including a crypt hall and peaceful columbarium. Church of the Virgin Mary is located near to the Tähtvere park. The church was built in 1899 and features vaulted interior with stained glass windows.

Captain Cook was an oridinery farmer son. Cook was borned in 1728 in Yorksire. The book tells us about Captain Cook adventures. His first ship was called ,,Freelove". He learned navigation on this ship. Soon Cook joined Royal Navy and in less than 2 month he was rated as Master's Mate. Now he was on ship what was called ,,Eagle". Soon ,,Eagle" met French merchant ship and there was a battle. French ship was defeated. Now Cook was promoted to the rank of Master. When peaceful period arrived, Cook had chance to work at his favourite task. The study what is called marine survyeing. Cook traveled around the world and made charts. He was recognized as the best man at making charts. And he had many other rewards. On one voyage, Cook saild nearer to the South Pole thane anyone else in the world. Soon he had to return back, because he couldn't brake trough the ice. Soon he reached the group of islands, he found one, called Maui, which no-one had seen before
oxen. But brothers settled the problem and enforcer is no longer angry at brothers. The book contains lots of metaphors, which make the novel more vivid. There aren't any illustrations on pages, but on the cover there are beautiful illustrations how the brothers are killing bear. In my opinion, the novel is very educative. On the one hand, brothers were hard-working and good people. But on the other hand, they did some bad things and disturbed other villager`s peaceful life. I liked the book and I give seven points in ten points system. Absolutely I recommend this book from other people, just read it and you see, how enthralling it is.
There wouldn't be too much homework, because the students would manage to finish their tasks in class. After the lessons students could go on free bus trips to anywhere in Estonia. They could visit different museums and churches or just see the beauty of our nature. That would be a great get-away from our everyday life! Let's not forget about the rules! In my ideal school the most important rule would be very simple keep calm and quiet. It's important to study in a peaceful environment. That way the students can commit themselves to their studies. This is what my ideal school would be like.
I don't know which of them yet because both points have their advantages and disadvantages. For example, detached house is great for privacy, but could become a little lonely on your own, whereas semi-detached house will offer you an opportunity to be friends with your neighbor. However, you never know who they might be they might throw dance parties in their house or be annoying in some other way. For the location, I would prefer residential area it would be nice and peaceful there. In addition to this, civilization and neighbors are close in case I needed them. My ideal house would be a spacious one. I would like three or four bedrooms, if that would be possible. One of them would be master bedroom, another one would be for guests and the remaining one or two would be nurseries. I would also want my house to have dining room as well as kitchen, a living room, an office and/or library and a pool in the backyard.
buildings and places like, for example, libraries or parks and to restore monuments and other objects of histoical value. An additional advantage of mass tourism is mixing of cultures and habits, for example, many different food cultures and clothing styles are spreading all over the world. The main drawbacks of mass tourism are damage of the natural environment as visitors often leave a lot of litter in the countryside. In addition, they prevent local people from living peaceful and quiet life. Another negative effect of mass tourism is if the cultures mix too intensely, for instance, old traditions of local people are destroyed if tourists are changing them by time. An additional disadvantage of tourism is prices. When the loacation is popular then all kind of entertainment companies rise their prices. Taking everything into consideration, mass tourism has both advantages and disadvanages. However, it seems that local

It needs to be with all the comforts and in new or renovated condition. Kitchen should be big and spacious plus bathroom and toilet needs to be separate. Apartments with balcony or terrace, large windows and separate rooms are more appealing for me. I prefer to rent for a longer period of time with reasonable price. Range should not be over 400 which includes public utility bills. It is important that apartment has full kitchen furniture, cellar and garage for car. Neighbourhood needs to be peaceful, with nice neighbours and good public transport access. Do you have a webpage, where I could see latest apartment ads with pictures and your other offers? I look forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Maris Springtime vacation in London In May 16th I will travel to London for four days with my friend Liisu.

Advantages and disadvantages of living in the countryside The first outstanding characteristic about the countryside is that it is beautiful and peaceful. The air is fresh and the surroundings green. This is because the countryside is free from pollution, land or noise pollution. Living in the countryside has a lot of advantages, but also many disadvantages. The places where people live affects greatly in their lifestyles and living places is one of the very basic needs for people. Firstly you are fit and you don't need to worry about your health condition, because in the countryside the air and water are so clean
Still, there is less entertainment than in cities, distances are longer and it can take much more time to get medical help if needed. Moving from city to country has been the traditional path for those in their 30s and 40s, particularly if children are involved. Nowadays flat rates in cities can be more expensive than living in a house in the countryside. Therefore, living in the countryside can be more affordable. In addition, the countryside is generally quiet and peaceful without the toxic polluted water and air. Some people prefer to live in the country for ecological reasons. For example, eating home- grown or locally grown food may easily become a part of lifestyle. Some people even raise their own animals. Accordingly, because cars are not idling in traffic there is less smog. However, there are some negative aspects of living in the rural area. For some, the lack of entertainment and smaller community is the biggest turn-off. Others are concerned about
respect for others. The amount of money you have doesn't show if you behave well or poorly. Manners and classy behavior are not bought, they are taught and practiced by parents who want their children to be decent and well-mannered. Money can buy you entry into a better class position, but it cannot make you behave as you should. If money could buy peace there would be no wars or conflicts between different countries. Even if the governments spend money to make the world more peaceful place it still won't work as they really want. Peace isn't something you can buy or make with money. It's about treating others fair and humanely, just as we want others to treat us. And as I said money can't buy good behaviour which is the base of the peace. Unfortunately people find there more desires connected with money but we should me aware of valuable things that we can't buy. Every person should sometimes think further from
long common history. As a consequence of the Soviet occupation both countries are home to a large number of ethnic Russians (26.9% in Latvia and 25.5% in Estonia). Latvia was found on 18th November 1918. However, its independence was interrupted at the outset of World War II. In 1940, the country was forcibly incorporated into the Soviet Union, invaded and occupied by Nazi Germany in 1941, and re-occupied by the Soviets in 1944 to form the Latvian for the next fifty years.

our national freedom is a necessary condition for the healthy development of our society. Secondly we must preserve our democratic form of goverment if our community is to secure a richer life for all its members. Democracy and socialism in Great Britain Practical political discussion in Britain to-day centres upon two questions. Can we prevent another European War? Can we transfer economic power to the state by purely democratic methods? The difficulty of achieving democratic Socialism by peaceful means consists in devising a programme for the Labour Party which will fulfil three conditions: 1. It must include a transfer of a substantial increase of economic power to the Goverment, otherwise it will represent no real advance towards the astablishment of a socialist democracy. 2. It must not provoke the opponents of Socialism to appeal to force or frighten them into an uncontrollable financial panic. In either case there would be a breakdown in the
Polynesia capital of the South Pacific. People from China, Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam, etc have also settled in New Zealand making for a diverse population mix. History : New Zealand was one of the last corners of the planet to be inhabited by people. Around 950AD the Maori arrived from Polynesia (Tonga and Hawaii) to the northern part of the North Island. There is however evidence of earlier settlement by other more peaceful Polynesian people. After the dutch sailor Abel Tasman visited New Zealand and named it Zeeland, more and more settlers arrived, conflicts over land led to several wars between the British and Maori in the North Island. The South island remained rather peaceful until gold was found there and thousand of people hurried there to look for gold. Since World War , New Zealand has moved towards its own unique national identity and place in the world

After problems in school, his mother decides to send him to a private school, and in order to do so, she had to sell some of her precious items. Erik understand that the private school called Stjärnsberg is his last change to get a good education and he wants to stop being violent. He goes to Stjärnsbergwith great hope and at first, its seems that he could do really well. But after a while he understand, that the school is probably the worst place where to be, when you want a peaceful life. The teachers look the other way as the older students are very brutal to younger, creating a hierarchical society based on class and age. The film was made in 2003 and directed by Mikael Håfström.

or cheap is to live in the countryside. Those differences are making people to think about advantages and disadvantages of living in a countryside. There are several advantages, why to live in the countryside. First, environment in the countryside is very different. There is less pollution and there is no danger because there are no´t so many cars, motorbikes, and factories. You can admire the beautiful landscapes such as huge meadows, peaceful hills or forests. You can keep yourself in fit and you do not have to worry about your health, because there are pure air and water. Life in a countryside is much cheaper than in the city. You can grow your own vegetables and fruits. It is healthier and cheaper way to eat and live. People in a countryside are very friendly and kind. They are helpful for each others and they alert their neighbour's if there is something weird going on.
pressures forced them further north into Kansas, where the city of Wichita is named for them. Most Wichita people are living in Oklahoma today. Speak English today. Some also speak their native Wichita language The Wichita Nation has its own government, laws, police, and services Before becoming a civilization, they tattooed their faces, arms, and chests. They were a steadfast and peaceful people. They had about 500 warriors in their tribe. The Wichita's chief from the past was WeeTaRa ShaRo. People History of population The Wichita had a large population in the time of Coronado and Onate. One scholar estimates their numbers at 200,000. They appeared to be much reduced by the time of the first French contacts with them in 1719. In 1790, it was estimated there were about 3,200 total Wichita

In the 1990s, theories began to emphasize `agential' factors or eg the rise of solidarity in Poland, Vaclev Havel in Czechoslovakia, the downfall of Pinochet in Chile were thought to have been contingent on the presence of particular people as leaders or groups of people who were able to make pacts and arrange for transfer of power.

I think Secretary job gives a lot of variety of different tasks. Secretary has to communicate with all different clients, do paperwork, see if the company runs efficiently, to assist and advise the director in his everyday job. One of the reasons why I wanted to bocome a Secretary is that I like organising and I think I'm good at it, also I like documentation and paper work. I'd rather work as a Secretary than in some pub as a barmaid, because it is definitely more peaceful and steady job than in some pub serving drunk people. Secretary's main tasks are answering phone calls, receiveing and sending e-mails and documents, meeting different clients, finding out their needs and trying to solve everyday business problems; also arranging meetings and receptions. She has a responsibility of making sure that the organisation runs efficiently. A Company Secretary should ensure the well-being and growth of the company, its Board of Directors and all Stakeholders

People's opinion about different origins should be developed and improved in order to have a friendly and peaceful world.

gain its independence. The impetus for independence was provided by the National Front, Estonia's main ideological movement, which based its ideas on US President Woodrow Wilson's principle of self-determination. On April 8, 1917, Estonian organisations and military personnel totalling 40 000 held a demonstration in Petrograd (St. Petersburg) in support of self-government of Estonia. The organised, peaceful demonstration achieved its goal when, on April 12, the Russian Provisional Government signed the Law on Estonian Autonomy, which united the Livonian counties of Tartu, Võru, Viljandi, Pärnu and Saaremaa with Estonia. For the first time an Estonian, Jaan Poska was appointed as a Provincial Commissioner of Estonia. A six-member Provisional National Council, the Maapäev, was formed. The Maapäev appointed
Sometimes I argue with them, usually it is related to my laziness not wanting to put dishes to the dishwasher, or not wanting to go to bed. How is school life for you?

I don't like math, never have. What are the biggest pressures for teens in you city? Võru doesn't have pressure for teens because it is a small and a peaceful city, at least I can't feel any. Is there a difference in Estonia between the north and the south? No, there isn't a big difference, but when I went there and talked to some of my friends living in Tallinn, then I noticed that they don't recognize some of the words we use every day in Võru. Have you visited any other countries? Yes, I have visited many different countries. When I was little, our family traveled a lot. We lived in the USA for one year but unfortunately, I can't
interested in violence just for the pure sake of violence. Georgie wanted to be wealthy unlike his gangmembers but it was that what made him stand out from the gang. He was not that interested in beating men and raping women because he was in my opinion more intelligent than the others. He rather kept to himself. In my opinion Georgie was ruthless, enthusiatic, quite agressive, maybe even obnoxious but also he was self-centered, closed, quiet and I would say he was more peaceful than the others especially more than Alex. I think that he was self-confident due to the fact that he was the on who started the rebellion against the cruel, heartless, cold-blooded Alex. I liked Georgie just for the reason that he stood up for himself and didn’t let others manipulate with him. But the fact that he did cruel and sadistic things makes me want to change my mind.

There are many important historical figures, who have helped shape Britain into what it is today. In my opinion Elizabeth I, Queen Victoria and Winston Churchill are the ones who stand out and have had the biggest impact on British history. Firstly, Elizabeth I made a great impression on British history as she kept England from major wars during her reign, the kingdom expanded and she supported culture. The rule of Elizabeth I can be called a peaceful time as England did not enter any huge conflicts. She managed to keep good relations with other great countries. However, the defeat of the Spanish Armada left no one questioning the superiority of the British navy. In addition, the kingdom’s territories grew during her reign, Virginia in America being named after „The Virgin Queen“. Queen Elizabeth I also valued culture. Arts flourished while Elizabeth was in power, most notably the theatre
The cause of poverty is mainly the lack of a job, which in turn is caused by disability, mental ilnness, economic recession or low intelligence. Sometimes lone parents also have financial difficulties and it is also possible to born to poor parents.
