The younger generation knows best

A lot of people think that knowledge depends on age. In their opinion, when we are getting older, we get more and more experience; however, sometimes old people have too little knowledge about the world to know much.

I personally do not have the exact opinion. It depends on every person. Of course, nowadays it is very hard to study for teenagers. Some of them think only about a mark when the main thing is knowledge. But what did you want with exams starting from Year 9, when we are just fourteen, the pressure starts to build up and it seems that life is all about doing well in exams.

On the other hand, we can suppose that the younger generation knows best, because it has a better connection with actual problems. Old people usually are not interested in problems which do not concern them.

We (I mean the younger generation) usually do not know best when we listen to our hearts’ voice. Aged individuals listen to their mind what makes their decisions more responsible and smart.

To sum up, there is no people who are perfect and know everything. Both young and aged generation have some lacks in their knowledge. But I personally think that the only way to make our decisions good is to communicate with different people and learn on yours and others mistakes.

A letter

Dear John,

I am writing to you to advise you what to do in this kind of situation.

First of all, you should talk to your parents. Explain them that you are serious about Gloria, that you have been going out with her for six months and that you have never felt like this before. Generally speaking, ask them to try to accept her. Tell them about her, about her family. Secondly, tell them you understand their opinion, that you understand why they are scared you will get married and live abroad. But do not forget to say that you are their son and you want them to understand your opinion too. And finally, you should introduce Gloria to your parents to give them the chance to get to know her.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Elina

Historically, men were the hunters and women homemakers. It should stay like that.

It is one of the most important issues nowadays. In the last few years, women have started to do more male jobs. Benefits of this are numerous yet much can be said against it.

First of all, women should not be excluded from traditionally male jobs. We live in a free and independent country, every person has the same rights and nobody must not be discriminated. Women need more freedom and they would have it if they earned more money. Of course, looking after the home and family is a big enough job, but if women want to work we must not be against that.

Nowadays, in the 21th century women can do all what men do. It is a huge progress. But of course this situation caused many problems in relationships between men and women and every women as a clever person must understand that and let men think that they are the leader in relationships.

To sum up, there are strong arguments for and against women doing male jobs, but people need to get used to the idea of women doing traditionally male jobs.

Dear Mr. Carter,

I am writing to thank you for coming to our school to give a talk.

Firstly, the discussion was very interesting, because almost every student is interested in his/her future and education. Secondly, we want to warn you that you left your personal notebook in the headmaster’s room. I need to confirm your address and arrange for the notebook to be sent by registered post, or for a courier to drop it off. I have therefore tried to telephone you loads of times to talk about this, but the number you gave to the headmaster did not work. I also sent an email to the gmail address, but it bounced back, so I recon the address had something missing.

I am sure that you would like to sort this out asap, and I am really sorry about the delay which has been caused. I would be grateful if you could get in touch with me as soon as you can.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Elina

Dear Mr Harper,

I am writing to ask about your advertisement for a room which I saw in a newspaper. I am very interested in the room as I will be coming to Minehead this summer to study English.

Yesterday you called me but I was out. My brother left me the note but I noticed that you did not answer all my questions. First of all, could you tell me what facilities are available? It is really important for me. Secondly, I did not exactly understand if I can use the kitchen. I am a good cooker and if it is possible I would like to cook by myself. And finally, is there Internet access? Internet is really important thing because I need to keep in touch with my parents and also for my studying.

My brother told me that you would like to know about me more. Well, I am 17 years old. I have a big family. My mother tongue is Russian but I am Estonian. I will send you my picture too.

Thank you for your help. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Elina

In ten-year time

Where will I be in ten years' time? And will I be happy with the way I have been living my life? Will I be all right?

These are the most important questions for me. I do not know what I will do in ten-year time. I will be 27 years old that is the only thing I know for sure.

In ten years I am planning to graduate the university and to get a good job. I do not know who I will be, maybe a businesswoman, or a successful neurosurgeon, or a famous producer. I definitely would like to live in another country like Great Britain, The USA, Italy.

I hope that in ten years time I will be married a very nice man and we will have two children.

Of course, nobody knows what his/her future will be like. The end of the world is said to be in 2012. We will know all about our future, when it begins, but it will never begin. I hope that in the future all my dreams will come true.

Application Letter



Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Elina Serõševa. I would like to apply for the position of a hotel receptionist I saw advertised in a student newspaper. One of my reasons for applying is that the job would give me valuable work experience during the summer holidays.

I am 17 years old and I live in Estonia. At present I am a student at Estonian school. I have a reasonable command of English, Russian, Estonian and German languages. I have a good knowledge of computers. Last year I had an experience of this kind of job. I worked in a restaurant as a receptionist. I very much enjoy working with people.

The reason I am applying for this job is that I would get a great working experience and I need some personal spending money. I thin I would be a suitable canditate for the job because I really like working with different people. I would do the job really well - you do not have to worry about that.

I hope you will consider my application. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Education in Estonia


Estonians are trying to place a high value on education. Universal access to quality education has been one of the nation’s historic goals. Estonia’s first university, the University of Tartu was founded in 1632.

The educational system in Estonia is divided into primary school, secondary school and high school system. Efforts are being made to increase the number of secondary and high schools in the country. Almost all schools have a subject-centered curriculum, but there are also some schools with student-centered curriculum. In my personal opinion, the student-centered curriculum is better because it helps students to concentrate on their future professions. This curriculum means that student majors in one subject and minors in another. A student can major in history and minor in sociality, for example. In addition to these major and minor courses he can select other subjects according to his professional interest. The higher education is also very developed in Estonia.

The higher education consists of a four-year system. There are Bachelor Degrees, Master’s Degrees and Doctorate degrees.

In conclusion, education in Estonia is developing and reaching new heights.
