Curiosity is one of the great qualities of a human being. A man always wanted to break the limits and learn more. Curiosity cased many inventions and discoveries made by man. Nowadays a huge amount of money is spent on exploring outer space. Some people think that governments should spend as much money as possible on space researches. However, others disagree and think that this money should be better spent on people's basic needs. Personally, I think that this question is a controversial one. For several reasons, which I will mention bellow, I think that an intermediate position can be taken: governments should continue invests money in space research but this money should not be spent very carefully. At the same time, governments should spend more money on uplifting the living standards, improving facilities, developing the modern technology and helping people in need.

Exploring outer space without any doubts will bring important results in the future. But nowadays we do not move much forward. Humankind made a huge step in exploring the space a half of the century ago. So, my point is that money should be spent very carefully.

From the other side, I think that nowadays the Earth and people need more attention then ever. People breath polluted air and drink contaminated water. Many animals are at danger of disappearance. People suffer from hunger, diseases and poverty. I think that governments should pay more attention to these problems, mentioned above. They need to create programs for saving the environment and animals.
Another important aspect of this that governments should sponsor more programs connected with the improving educational system.

To sum up, I believe that we should not stop exploring outer space but we need to make our Earth healthier.

Essay: A foreign visitor has only one day to spend in your country. Where should this visitor go on that day? Why? Use specific reasons and details to support your choice.

A foreign visitor has only one day to spend in your country. Where should this visitor go on that day? Why? Use specific reasons and details to support your choice.

Traveling is a good way to find out more about different countries with different traditions and customs. Some travelers prefer to spend in one country just a few days or one day and then leave for another country. This way of traveling allows people to visit more countries in less days. Unfortunately, in this case such travelers have to hurry in order to visit more places.

I am from Saint-Petersburg, Russia. So, if a foreign visitor has only one day to spend in my country I think I would advice him to visit the "Hermitage" - the most well known and amazing museum in Russia. The "Hermitage" has 3 floors and more then 100 halls. It is really amazing to visit that place. Many people from all over the world every day enter its walls. Some of the rooms devoted to the history of other countries. Others devoted to the art of a famous painter and the history of his life. However, most of the halls conclude many things such as paintings, royal belongings, sculptures from Russian history.

Some people say that it is impossible to feel deeply and see all these amazing historical values for one visit. I have to completely agree with this statement. When I first visited the "Hermitage" I was 14 years old. It impressed me so much that I was back next day to see what I had not been able to see the day before.

The "Hermitage" is an impressive and beautiful museum. I think it is worth to spend there a whole day and I believe that after that a foreign visitor can claim with a proud that he or she saw  Russia.

Essay: A university plans to develop a new research center in your country. Some people want a center for business research. Other people want a center for research in agriculture (farming). Which of these two kinds of research centers do you recommend for your country? Use specific reasons in your recommendation.

A university plans to develop a new research center in your country. Some people want a center for business research. Other people want a center for research in agriculture (farming). Which of these two kinds of research centers do you recommend for your country? Use specific reasons in your recommendation.

In my country, Russia, I think that the question about whether to establish a new research center in business or in agriculture is a controversial one.

First of all, because I think that both these centers must work together and cooperate. For example, a business research center can collect information about what kind of cereal people prefer more and how much of it they consume every year. Then this information can be used by  an agriculture research center, which in its turn will provide the company engaged in farming with essential information.

Second of all, it is rather difficult to decide which research center will bring more benefits to my country. From the one side, business research center can make very interesting and essential research for the economy of the country. It can gather information about the small business in the country, about consumer's preferences and what can be done to decrease the state debt. When I was in my third year in the university we (I and my classmates) make research regarding how many people use urban transportation every day and how much they spend on it monthly. I was really an amazing experience. We calculated numbers, learnt how to make conclusions and suggestions. From the other side, an agriculture research center can be very helpful in studying the conditions, under which the harvest of wheat or potato can be better or the quality of vegetables can be improved. The increased harvest of wheat will bring more money to the companies engaged in farming.

With regard to mention above, I think that if I would have to choose what research center will be more useful for my country it would be an agriculture research center. Because, nowadays I tend to think that good harvest is more important for people of my country than knowing how advertising influence the people's behavior.

Essay: Every generation of people is different in important ways. How is your generation different from your parents’ generation? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your answer.

Every generation of people is different in important ways. How is your generation different from your parents’ generation? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your answer.

Man, through the ages, has undergone many changes from the time he depicted a herd of mammoths on the walls of his cave to these days when he can use personal computers to create a new pattern for his carpet, send e-mail to his friend and even make him a cup of coffee without leaving his chair. There is no doubt that every generation is different in many ways from the old ones. In the following paragraphs I will list some differences, which  I believe exist between my generation and my parents' generation.

First of all, I think that my generation is more familiar with the modern technology then my parents' generation. For example, my mother learnt from me about the Internet. I was the first person who explained my parents what the Internet is and how to use it.

Second of all, people of my generation have different interests and different opinions about many things.  For example, my parents and I have different views about decision made by the government. My mother thinks that  more money should be spend on books and libraries for the children, and I think that more money should be spend on computer technologies.

Finally, I think that people of my generation tend to forget many traditions and customs of the country they were born in. We often forget about the meaning of the holidays our parents celebrate. I cannot say that it is wrong I just think it is normal when recent historical events are celebrated with more enthusiasm. However, I believe that all people should remember their history and pass it down to the next generation because this knowledge is irreplaceable and priceless for every person.

To sum up, there is no doubt that next generation is always better prepared for the future than the old one, and this means that our children will also be more experienced than we do now. And I think it is for the best.

Essay: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? One should never judge a person by external appearances. Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? One should never judge a person by external appearances. Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.

I believe that one should not judge a person by external appearances while he does not know a person well.  When we meet a person for the first time we unconsciously make a first impression about him. Some people believe that the first impression about a person is the right one. However, from my everyday experience and observation I can stand that external appearances are often illusive. I can give several reasons to support my opinion.

First of all, different people have different opinions about an importance of person's appearance. Some people dress, behave themselves, wear haircuts to make an impression, feel better about themselves and even to make self-realization. But this does not make them kinder, clever and more experienced. Unfortunately, people tend to associate these qualities with external appearances.

However, other people do not care much about their appearances. Personally, I do not care about my clothes as long as they are clean, knit and comfortable. But, to tell the truth, I often judge a person by his external appearances. I can not say it is wrong. I think that it is normal as long as it is just the first impression. I think that people should remember that a first impression can be replaced by another one very quickly, which is not always the better one.

When people begin to communicate and get to know each other, the first impression is replaced by the deeper one. One begins to see the bad and good sides of a person under his clothes, make up, and even manners.

To sum up, I believe that one should not judge a person before one gets to know him well.
