Letter

Dear Confused Opposite,

To begin with, you should look into yourself and answer the question "Do you really love her?".

If the answer is yes - be determined. Talk to your parents, show them that you are serious about Gloria. Explain your feelings and ask them to try to accept her. In fact, race or even place of living are not such a big problems. Furthermore, you have to show them your appreciation of their opinion and tell them that you want them to understand yours. Finally, introduce Gloria and just give them the chance to get to know her.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Your sincerely,

Igor Konstantinov

Pros and cons

     
     Schools should encourage girls to study science and engineering more.


     On the one hand it seems look like a good idea. Girls will be as successful as boys in their future life. In the industrial market the competition will grow so world will be a bit more democratic. But on the other hand we understand that science and engineering more approaches for men. It is  a kind of their path. In addition to this I just cannot understand how schools can encourage girls. This should be only their decision. No one should try to force them.


      So finally I think that the best idea is to show them that they have this possibility, to be an engineer or scientist. But they should see all other ways too.

Letter of acception of a room

Dear Mr Harper,

I am writing about your message about the room. It was very kind of you to call me. I really appreciate that.

By the way, you wanted to get some information about me. Here it is. I am 19 years old and I live in Estonia. I am very hardworking and responsible. So you do not worry about the payments for the room. However I would like to know what facilities are available? And is there Internet access? Secondly, that would be great if you tell me about the working place, is there desk for computer or not?

Thank you very much. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

In ten-year time

I don't really know what will world look like in ten-year time. But I believe that nothing awful won't happen.

What I know exactly is that by the time I am 27 I will have graduated university with good marks. I will have met lots of interesting people. I will have traveled around the world. I will have spoken at least 5 languages fluently. Of course I do not know who I will be, hopefully a successful businessman. In addition to that, I hope, just hope that I will meet a good young women. And tonnes of other things which are not so interesting to read for you.

Thanks for attention.

Racism(semi-formal)

Maria Lopez is a twenty-three year old Mexican woman who is trying to bring her family to the United States from Mexico City, Mexico in the year 2005.

Dear Lola,

I am writing to you, because I am just exhausted of racism on this land.

As you know, I am trying to bring my family to the United States from Mexico City. But all these people, they are too strict. They want me to bring more than 30 different documents only because I am Mexican. They want me to pass the exam in English And my children have to do the same. I would like to ask you to help me, I know that you have a place to live for 3 people. It would be great if you could let me live there for a while.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Your sincerely,

Application letter

Also I have several skills which can be useful. First of all, I am great with computers. Secondly, I am very sociable. In addition to this for the last three years I have been working during summer on works where communication is a necessity. I think I would be a suitable candidate.

Estonian education

What can I say about our education? It is not bad at all.

Today's education in Estonia is divided into vocational, general and hobby education. The education system is based on four levels which include the pre-school, basic, secondary and higher education. So we are used to it and do not have any choice to choose from.

Generally, almost everywhere in Estonian schools widely-spread subject-centered curriculum. And only in English college there is student-centered curriculum which I really like. Pupil can choose 6 subjects, what they are interested in. And they will learn 3 of them in advanced level. My personal opinion is that this programme should be used in all schools.

About academic higher education in Estonia I can't say anything cause I wasn't interested in it.

Letter of advise(opinion about restaurant)

Dear Sarah,

I have received your letter and it will not be a problem for me to help you to decide would the Vincenzo's restaurant be suitable for your wedding dinner or not.

I suppose you have already read their advertisement. Firstly instead of romantic strains of live Italian music you will hear loud recorded rock. Secondly the light of "dozen scented candles" is so weak that I could not see the food on my plate. Also they wrote that because of their chef Roberto the restaurant managed to attract clients. But I have never heard about this chef as well as there were no other customers in Vincenzo. One time I tried to call them but the line was constantly busy.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Igor

Letter to editor

Dear Sir/Madam,

Recently I have read the article about students' life as it is, which was written by "English in Action writer", James Faraday.

Letter to friend

Dear Maria,

How are you? Thank you for the letter. I was really pleased. You mentioned that news is great, it really is!

By the way, I see that you will come in January, but tell me please when exactly, because there is a chance that I will not be in town.
Now answers. Usually the weather in January is just great, But you know our country. So, it is better to bring some warm clothes too. Oh, about the present for my sister. Biscuits are not a good idea, because she has a terrible allergy. In this case, please bring a home-made cake.
And now the last question. As I understood you will be staying in a big hotel, but we have several if them, so tell me the name of yours.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Love,
Igor

Formal letter(additional task)

Dear Ms Hudson,

I am writing because I saw your advertisement on one website. As I understood this is an appeal from the Children Charity Foundation for volunteers who are willing to give their time and energy to help.

I definitely want to help and I will do all what is possible for children under social care. First of all, if you need I can teach them how to use computer or organize outdoor activities and even hobby groups. Furthermore I am keen on sports so it is not a problem for me to show them how to play football, basketball, volleyball or martial arts. I enclose copies if my documents as requested.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,
Igor Konstantinov

Letter of complaint

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to you about a CD player which I bought in one of your stores on 20 May 2011 for 100 EUR. I attach copies of the guarantee.

Firstly, I have difficulties in using headphones with this CD player. They just do not work. Secondly, the sound became distorted after a week of usage(utilization) and I can not do anything about that. But the worst thing is that display is broken.

In case that this CD player was a gift, the situation is awful. So I would like you to refund me money as soon as possible. Otherwise I may have to contact with consumer protection office.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Igor Konstantinov

The only way to cut crime in our country is to make punishment more serve.

Punishments in our country are quite strange.

Firstly, we can see, that the biggest terms are given not to murderers or rapists, but to those people who stole a big amount of money. On the other hand, it is really scandalous that people who killed are let out of prison after three or four years. And usually these three or four years can't change the way of thinking of these criminals.

I think it is time government changed the law. But I would rather they did not include death penalty. In my opinion it is too simple and unfair in relation to victims. However I am for idea of "three strikes and you're out" - the idea that after committing three crimes criminals are locked up to life.

To conclude, I am sure we need to change our Estonian system of justice. People must not lose faith in it.

Letter

Dear Sir/Madam
I am writing to ask for additional information about African Safari. I am very interested in this type of holiday, but I would like to get some details.

First of all,it is not clear in what part of Africa this tour is going to be held.
Secondly I would like to get acquainted with exact tribes if it is possible. Also I would be grateful if you could tell me what kind of accommodation is available, in motels or just in tents. I would prefer not to share tent with anybody.
Thirdly, you say that the price is not high, but I would like to get any discount unless it cannot be helped. Also it is sad that price includes hunting. Could you please tell me the exact type of hunting.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully

Why do I like or do not like traveling?

Oh, in my opinion traveling is one of the best things, that can be done on the Earth.
No one can tell where you should go, no one can tell you what should you do, it is always up to you.

I am used to traveling, I like it and I wish, I could travel throughout my life. By the time I was 16, I had already travelled a lot. So I could even form my own opinion about traveling. Traveling always involves new knowledges - about country, local people, culture, language and traditions. And I think, that all these things are very interesting and useful.

Although many people prefer just usual traveling, there are a lot of other forms of it. For example extreme traveling, adventure traveling or even architecture traveling. What will you choose, depends only on you.

Why cloning should be banned

Why cloning should be banned

In my opinion this is not right. Cloning is not bad and is not good, so why should we ban it?

Clone is just identical twin of another human. However science fiction made such an impression in the world, that clones are like zombies. This opinion is nonsense. Clones will be like usual people, they will not have even similar imprint of the finger. They will be like a normal human, like you and me.

So, as you could understand, in my opinion cloning should not be banned. It is not scary and it is not dangerous at all, but I would not like to have a clone.

Brain

Brain power

Every animal in the world has a brain. But a humans brain is unique - it gives us an opportunity to think, speak, imagine. So it is a really an awesome organ.

Brain uses 20% of the body''s energy, but it uses all this energy for purposes, that we really need. For example, it controls a hart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, it receives a huge amount of information about the world and it even memorizes all this information!

Sometimes it is better for us to help to our brain. To train our memory, we can do a couple of things and this will be OK. First method is eating the right food: spinach and different kinds of cabbage, fish, beef liver and of course protein. Second way is doing active things to improve the memory, like brain teasers and crossword puzzles!

That is all what I can say you about this amazing organ. So do not relax and keep thinking.

Remake of the text about exhibition

The main theme of the exhibition was solar system, so to reflect the theme well it was started in a huge, dark room. While the quite music played we admired the planets on the ceiling. Then,some guides, who were dressed just like robots, lead us to the next hall where we could see probes that were used for taking people into space and the first spaceships. There were so much information and exhibits that our guides let us take a brake quite often so we did not get exhausted. There were even refreshments served by aliens, probably to make such a great atmosphere.

Description of the event

Three months ago, I went to the opening of a new exhibition in the Museum of technology. So that we could really enjoy it, organizers made it in a very unusual way.

It was started by one of the main organisers, who told us about pros and cons of adoption of new technologies in our everyday life. As he mentioned, although during last few years were made a lot of discoveries in this part of science it is still in its infancy.

After introduction we were able to get an excursion or just walk by ourselves. I chose the first way because there were too many halls and exhibits. So we asked our guide to show and tell us about most important displays.

The most exciting thing about the exhibition was a small, two-place submarine for examination of the deepest places on the earth.

In conclusion, I would say that the opening of this exhibition was one of the most fantastic events a have ever visited.

Madam visit this website, it could be quite interesting. But you might know it.
