Some people claim she may seem quick-tempered but in reality deep down, she is really an amiable person. Kristy has a very unpredictable lifestyle, for this reason she spends a lot of time exercising. In her spare time she goes either to a swimming pool or climbing in the mountains which I admire most. In the future she would love to fulfil one of her childhood dreams, namely to become and actress. To sum up, Kristy really deserves admiration due to her ambition and optimism. She shows people how to be a better person. I hope our friendship will never end. Alex Smirnov 10A

This rule can be applied to some people that use their appearance to harm others for their own profit. Good looking people are called lucky and others that don't fall under that category are extremely jealous as usual. Pretty face and nice figure can also be used. There's nothing bad in it, of course. We see famous movie stars and celebrities doing it every day. The story is totally different in everyday life. People who are attractive get used to the attention and admiration. They get proud and think that everything that they reach is due to the way they look. People who are attractive use their looks to get a job, to be promoted, to be excused from doing something they don't want to. The atmosphere around them can not be ruined in any way. Once the reputation is ruined, nice looks will not help any more for they don't matter from no on. But there are people who are equally pretty inside and outside. Such people are pride of the society and are respected greatly.

Jane Austen "Pride & Prejudice" Pride and Prejudice, first published on 28 January 1813, has consistently been Jane Austen's most popular novel. Austen sold the copyright for Pride and Prejudice to Thomas Egerton. Egerton published the first edition of Pride and Prejudice in three hardcover volumes in January. The tone is light and a little humoristic. Pride and Prejudice is a humorous story of love and life among English gentility. At first the book was called "First impressions" and this gives a better expression to the requests of the author, than the later heading. People meet, do not understand each other and communication does not offer joy either. So this is contrary to love at first sight. It is a tale of love and values in the class-conscious England of the late 18th century. It is a story of five sisters and their lives. It is a story through the dangerous, exciting and loving feelings of the characters. The Bennets five ...
pirates. While frolicking around and enjoying their newfound freedom, the boys become aware that the community is sounding the river for their bodies. Tom sneaks back home one night to observe the commotion. After a brief moment of remorse at the suffering of his loved ones, Tom is struck by the idea of appearing at his funeral and surprising everyone. He persuades Joe and Huck to do the same. Their return is met with great rejoicing, and they become the envy and admiration of all their friends. Back in school, Tom gets himself back in Becky’s favor after he nobly accepts the blame for a book that she has ripped. Soon Muff Potter’s trial begins, and Tom, overcome by guilt, testifies against Injun Joe. Potter is acquitted, but Injun Joe flees the courtroom through a window. Summer arrives, and Tom and Huck go hunting for buried treasure in a haunted house. After venturing upstairs they hear a noise below. Peering

Humpty Dumpty helped Alice understand a very difficult poem she had read before and then to his misfortune FELL down from the wall he was sitting on. Before reaching the Seventh Square and meeting the Knight who was supposed to chaperone her through it, Alice made acquaintance with the Lion and the Unicorn. Alice and the Unicorn both shared an admiration towards each other since they had both always thought that the other one doesn't really exist. The Seventh Square wasn't that eventful the Knight was an inventor and proudly talked about his inventions the whole time. And then Alice finally became QUEEN. It was weird for her because she didn't expect it to happen so soon. The White and the Red Queens where also there. They soon entered a house where Alice was seated at the end of the table. She was very hungry but she couldn't eat
It is an inspiration to many poets, two of them being P. B. Shelley and W. Wordsworth. The Skylark is a common nature metaphor for pure poetic expression. Shelly Shelley's poem is all about praising the birds singing and how the lark can create such beautiful songs unintentionally. For the bird, singing is effortless and comes out naturally. Still the creation is harmonic and spreads joy. The poem starts with Shelly calling the bird a "blithe spirit" and expressing his admiration of how the song comes from the bird's heart without any effort. "Bird thou never wert-/ That from heaven or near it" gives the mental image that Shelly doesn't actually see the bird but only hears it. Thus the bird doesn't exist for him as a real thing but rather as something supernatural, like a ghost sending its melody while staying unseen. Then Shelly goes on comparing the Skylark to many various things like a cloud of fire, a star of heaven, a high-born maiden, a glow-worm, a rose etc
within a cabinet formed of members of the House of Commons; the monarch was essentially removed from the loop. She respected and worked well with Lord Melbourne (Prime Minister in the early years of her reign) and England grew both socially and economically. On Feb 10th, 1840, only three years after taking the throne, Victoria took her first vow and married her cousin, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Their relationship was one of great love and admiration. Together they bore nine children between 1840 and 1857 - four sons and five daughters: Victoria, Bertie, Alice, Alfred, Helena, Louise, Arthur, Leopold, and Beatrice. Most of her children married into other Royal families of Europe. Prince Albert replaced Melbourne as the dominant male influence in Victoria's life. She was thoroughly devoted to him, and completely submitted to his will. Victoria did nothing without her husband's approval. Albert assisted in her royal duties. He introduced

Each line has 10 syllables an d the stress is on everu other syllable. Adressed on two people. One was so called The Dark Lady. Other was The Writers Young Friend. Started to wrote them because sonnets abled him to criticise various human vices to express his feelings of love and friendship and his admiration of beauty. The above mentioned themes were very important in the Renaissance period. The ideal woman of those days looked like Elizabeth I. She had golden hair and ... complection, but The Dark Lady was totally different from ideal. Other person was The Young Friend. Maybe was the Earl of Southampton. Author and Young Friend are sincere friend until a woman appears. The author is aware of fact that his beloved Lady is not true to him and he can't trust his friend either
dialogue come to life. As a writer Twain did not emulate European models; he created a distinctly Am lit style. Many critics agree with Ernest Hemingway's claim that `all modern Am fiction comes from Huckleberry Finn'. Transcendentalism was represented in poetry by the work of Walt Whitman (1819- 92). The first of 9 editions of his collection of poems Leaves of Grass appeared in 1855 to little public recognition, although it did win the admiration of Whitman's mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson. In his poems Whitman celebrates America, its natural beauty, its people and its spirit of democracy. He also explores himself, his feelings, perceptions and intuitions. Many contemporary readers were shocked by his celebration of the body and the theme of love between man and man which led to rumours about his homosexuality. Whitman was a highly experimental poet who believed that poetry should not be bound by rules and restrictions. He tended to
building. After great trouble and searching the townspeople found a clever master called Olev, who agreed to take up church-building for a huge salary, and he promised to build so tall a tower that nobody in the whole world had seen before. He started work immediately. The construction work progressed extremely fast and was soon nearly finished. The church was big and beautiful, so that everybody who saw it praised it. The tall steeple of the church aroused special admiration. It was already completed but for the cross at the top. Olev did not want anyone else to do his job; he wanted to take the cross up to the spire himself so that he could crown his work and all the praises and gratitude would befall only him. He was promised to be paid out his salary after he had put the cross on top of the spire. When Olev went to do his final job on the church, his wife joyously cried out at home, ''Today Olev will come home with a thousand barrels of gold!''
sisters not worth speaking to, a wish of being better acquainted with them was expressed towards the two eldest. By Jane, this attention was received with the greatest pleasure, but Elizabeth still saw superciliousness in their treatment of everybody, hardly excepting even her sister, and could not like them; though their kindness to Jane, such as it was, had a value as arising in all probability from the influence of their brother's admiration. It was generally evident whenever they met, that he did admire her and to her it was equally evident that Jane was yielding to the preference which she had begun to entertain for him from the first, and was in a way to be very much in love; but she considered with pleasure that it was not likely to be discovered by the world in general, since Jane united, with great strength of feeling, a composure of temper and a uniform cheerfulness of manner which would guard
Anger, fear, joy and other momentary feelings accelerate it. Stress ( logical, emphatic) Stress which is meant to single out certain words as emotionally important, to point out their hidden or specific meaning is called emphatic or emphasis : I told you he is ´un ´well. (=drunk) Emphatic stress may be signalled graphically by italics, exclamation marks, dots, dashes. It is used to express one's attitude to the interlocutor or the utterance such as admiration, surprise, distrust, contempt. Accompanying means of emphasis can be the prolongation of vowels and consonants. Vowels are generally prolonged when positive emotions are expressed: I'm so glad. It's fantastic. Consonant sounds tend to become longer to expresses negative feelings:lousy, phony, monstrous. The chief means of making one's speech emotional is intonation and pausation. Logical pauses divide the utterance into meaningful parts (corresponding) to sense-groups,

The way words combine in a language to produce natural sounding speech and writing. Grammatical collocations consist of: o A dominant word – noun, adjective/participle, verb o A preposition or a grammatical construction In the picture, admiration for, on the whole, on purpose etc Lexical collocations don’t have a dominant word, instead they have structures such as: o verb + noun o adjective + noun o noun + verb o noun + noun o adverb + adjective o adverb + verb Collocations are categorized: o Weak collocations – see a movie, take a bath, extremely complicated
English literature is one of the oldest literatures in Europe; dates back to the 6th century AD. Oral literature, i.e. not written down, spread from person to person. In 449 AD Anglo-‐Saxon tribes invaded England – beginning of the Anglo-‐Saxon period in English literature. The first form of literature was folklore, carried by scops and gleemen, who sang in alliterative verse (a kind of simple poetry). Prose developed much later. The first form of recorded English literature was the epic Beowulf, which was produced sometime near the end of the 7th and beginning of the 8th century. It has no ...

Her discourse deliberately shifts from very sharp or merely amused criticism to empathy and admiration. The answers that Murphy can, tentatively, give in order to explain the foreign culture are deeply rooted in Romanian history which, in her (debatable) opinion, has never known any period of democracy. Yet, her travel Á and intercultural
Through their debates regarding versification of the Russian language and tone of Russian literature, the writers in the first half of the 18th century were able to lay foundation for the more poignant, topical work of the late 18th century. Satirist Antiokh Dmitrievich Kantemir, 17081744, was one of the earliest Russian writers not only to praise the ideals of Peter I's reforms but the ideals of the growing Enlightenment movement in Europe. Kantemir's works regularly expressed his admiration for Peter, most notably in his epic dedicated to the emperor entitled Petrida. More often, however, Kantemir indirectly praised Peter's influence through his satiric criticism of Russia's "superficiality and obscurantism," which he saw as manifestations of the backwardness Peter attempted to correct through his reforms. Kantemir honored this tradition of reform not only through his support for Peter, but by initiating a decade-long debate on the proper syllabic versification

kitten el gatito worm el gusano ladybug la catarina zebra la cebra lamb el cordero 69. Suffixes Suffixes may be attached to nouns, adjectives or adverbs. Unaccented vowels should be dropped before adding the suffixes. The most common suffixes are -ito (a) and -cito (a). They express size, affection, admiration, appreciation or pity. The ending -ero (a) indicates the maker or dealer in charge of something. To indicate where something is made or sold, add -ería. When -eza and -ura are added to adjectives, they express abstract nouns. When -dor is added to a verb (minus the final letter), it indicates the performer of the action. 70. Subjunctive Mood The subjunctive is not used very often in English, but it is very common and important in Spanish.

Daughter, and wife. He tells him all his secrets And lets him guide his acts, and rule his conscience. He fondles and embraces him; a sweetheart Could not, I think, be loved more tenderly; At table he must have the seat of honour, While with delight our master sees him eat As much as six men could; we must give up The choicest tidbits to him; if he belches, ('tis a servant speaking) [2] Master exclaims: "God bless you!"--Oh, he dotes Upon him! he's his universe, his hero; He's lost in constant admiration, quotes him On all occasions, takes his trifling acts For wonders, and his words for oracles. The fellow knows his dupe, and makes the most on't, He fools him with a hundred masks of virtue, Gets money from him all the time by canting, And takes upon himself to carp at us. Even his silly coxcomb of a lackey Makes it his business to instruct us too; He comes with rolling eyes to preach at us, And throws away our ribbons, rouge, and patches.

The thoughts and emotions of Tubin, his hopes and resignation have been revealed: Example 139. The last bars in B major point out a clearing reached through strong exertion. The form schemes used here are Sonata Allegro (first and third movement) and ABC as a compound form. After the first performance in Stockholm, the Swedish critic Ingemar Liljefors said: The talent of Tubin to present his sensations in such artistically illuminated expression is worthy of admiration. The Fifth Symphony is built up with a mastery which displays a sovereign command of all means and the absolute ability of musical expressiveness. 1 It seems surprising that the score was published in Moscow in 1966. In its foreword, the musicologist Yuri Fortunatov states: Looking at the score for the first time, at least two characteristic features catch the eye: clearly expressed contemporaneity in deeply individual musical language, and, at the same time, a
We spend millions of dollars drinking Heineken. Heineken doesn’t give a damn. They don’t consider Blacks as a market they should go after. They believe that whether they court that market or not, Blacks will always drink Heineken. It takes a great sweat to make a buck. In many cases, you have been dehumanized as a Black in making that buck. Doesn’t it stand to reason that before you spend that money you would ensure that it is intelligently spent? You know why I have a great admiration for Jews? Because they would never allow anybody to disrespect or humiliate them. Whether it is the state of Israel or Jews in the Diaspora, they use their extraordinary intelligence to retaliate. They don’t believe in going to the barricades; they don’t believe in rallies; they don’t believe in demonstrations. They believe in taking decisive action. If a company dares insult the Jewish people, you know what happens? They buy up the shares of that company, have

roles they play. They are those roles. Some roles are subtle; others are blatantly obvious, except to the person playing it. Some roles are designed simply to get attention from others. The ego thrives on others' attention, which is after all a form of psychic energy. The ego doesn't know that the source of all energy is within you, so it seeks it outside. It is not the formless attention which is Presence that the ego seeks, but attention in some form, such as recognition, praise, admiration, or just to be noticed in some way, to have its existence acknowledged. A shy person who is afraid of the attention of others is not free of ego, but has an ambivalent ego that both wants and fears attention from others. The fear is that the attention may take the form of disapproval or criticism, that is to say, something that diminishes the sense of self rather than enhances it. So the shy person's fear of attention is greater than his or her need of attention

He was the one who made the treaty that kept them off our land." He rolled his eyes. "Your great-grandfather?" I encouraged. "He was a tribal elder, like my father. You see, the cold ones are the natural enemies of the wolf --well, not the wolf, really, but the wolves that turn into men, like our ancestors. You would call them werewolves." "Werewolves have enemies?" "Only one." I stared at him earnestly, hoping to disguise my impatience as admiration. "So you see," Jacob continued, "the cold ones are traditionally our enemies. But this pack that came to our territory during my great-grandfather's time was different. They didn't hunt the way others of their kind did -- they weren't supposed to be dangerous to the tribe. So my great-grandfather made a truce with them. If they would promise to stay off our lands, we wouldn't expose them to the pale- faces." He winked at me. "If they weren't dangerous, then why...
You wouldn't want the other one; it's got a nasty east-west exposure." "You may want to think seriously about buying more than one case today because production is backed way up and there's no telling when we'll get any more in." Sometimes the limited-number information was true, sometimes it was wholly false. In each instance, however, the intent was to convince customers of an item's scarcity and thereby increase its immediate value in their eyes. I admit to developing a grudging admiration for the practitioners who made this simple device work in a multitude of ways and styles. I was most impressed, however, with a particular ver- sion that extended the basic approach to its logical extreme by selling a piece of mer- chandise at its scarcest point-when it seemingly could no longer be had. The tactic was played to perfection in one appliance store I investigated where 30 to 50 percent of the stock was regularly listed on sale. Suppose a couple in the store seemed, from a
Some of the things you will learn in THE CODEBREAKERS • How secret Japanese messages were decoded in Washington hours before Pearl Harbor. • How German codebreakers helped usher in the Russian Revolution. • How John F. Kennedy escaped capture in the Pacific because the Japanese failed to solve a simple cipher. • How codebreaking determined a presidential election, convicted an underworld syndicate head, won the battle of Midway, led to cruel Allied defeats in North Africa, and broke up a vast Nazi spy ring. • How one American became the world's most famous codebreaker, and another became the world's greatest. • How codes and codebreakers operate today within the secret agencies of the U.S. and Russia. • And incredibly much more.
