Today many parents give their children some money for each good mark. Some people think it’s good for children but some people think it’s really serious problem. I think it’s not right! I think paying for marks make children businessmen.
My point of view is right because of the crisis many parents lost their job. So that’s why they couldn’t pay pocket money for marks. As a consequence their children give up studying to make their parents to pay for good marks. I think it’s not right for our society. As for my friends they are not committed to it. This is unthinkable for me! Thus I think this is reason to concern by the effect of giving extra pocket money for each good mark. There has been gradual increase business to studying.
But if my parents paid me I would accept it. I study not bad and it would be profitable for me. But we should not forget that we can adjust ourselves to “educational business” and we mustn’t be addicted to it. This is gruesome for our society.
As you can see from my essay I am right!

A lot of people watch soap operas because they find them enjoyable and realistic but other don’t watch them because they think it’s very boring. I agree with it. I think soap operas is damage our brains. 37
My point of view is right because there are a lot of people spend all of day watching soap operas. It takes a lot of time but it doesn’t bring any profit for women which sit at the sofa many hours watching them. Besides many children are addicted to soap operas. They are unwilling to do their homework, read books or go outside because they must watch their favorite soap operas. Moreover, more and more men spend their evenings and weekends crying with their wives within watching TV. As for me I hate watch soap operas. I found it boring. I always change the channel on TV if I see this. As for my mother she watch them sometimes. Sometimes I very nerves because Russian TV sets are completely damaged by the soap operas. There is no any educational, travel and animals program you can see only stupid stories about lovers.
On the other hand I can watch serial “The club”. This is very interesting story about one girl who began the star but didn’t think about lots of troubles, angry people and the hard life of successful stars. However this is not soap opera.
You see, I’ve proved my point of view that soap operas is boring disaster for our society.

A lot of students think that the best teacher is to be knowledgeable about the subject matter, but other think that it’s more important for a teacher to make teaching enjoyable and fun for student. I agree with it. I think that the bets teacher must make teaching enjoyable and fun.
My point of view is right because I think that it is so awful to listen to boring and passive subjects. You always want to sleep or leave lection. At this time this teacher is very clever and know a lot about his subject matter. But our teacher of history always make interesting examples in history. Thanks to it most of my classmates are interested in historical events. Besides our teacher geography reads very boring lections, but when begin speak about the funny life of Africans. We smile and many of us awake quickly and we will not forget about such a funny life. That’s why I think the best teacher is someone who has a humor of lections. But of course I really respect teacher who has knowledge about his subject matter but the teacher must make enjoy against sleeping at lections.
You see, I’ve proved my point of view. The teacher must make enjoy and professional fun to make his lections more interesting.

Some people think that it’s much easier to learn in a small class than in a longer one but some people disagree with it. I don’t agree with it. I think it’s easier to learn in a small class.
First of all, I would like to consider that I learn in a small class. There are ten persons in my class. We have a good relationship between my classmates. We always go together to the cinema and to the park but if you learn in a large class you will not be able to have fun with them. I know that because one of my friends learns in a class for 30 people. She says that there is no friendship in her class because large classes have a few groups and you should chose only one.
If you learn in a small class your classmates will help you to do your homework. The teachers are very enjoying when they have a lection in a class and if the teacher is happy you will get a good mark. That’s why I don’t think that it’s better to learn in a large class.
In conclution I’d like to say that learning in a small class has many advantages than disadvantages.
