Thieves caught in stolen clothes

A thief in South Africa was caught red-handed when he knocked on the door of a house asking for work – wearing the clothes that he had earlier stolen from the owners.

“When I opened the door I was surprised because he was wearing our clothing,” the owner, who did not want be named.

The man knocked on the front door of the house in South Africa’s Eastern Cape on Sunday to ask for gardening work, wearing the owner’s shoes, socks, belt, a pair of trousers and one of his fiancée’s blouses.

The resident then went to check his storeroom, which he saw had been looted.

“I could not believe the audacity of this guy,” he said.

The thief managed to get away but was later nabbed by security guards, the report said.

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,

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 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

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.

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.

Sherlock
Sherlock is a serial which consists of 3 parts. It had its first showing in 2010 and had a great success.
Sherlock is a young man who lives in London. He is genius in solving crimes. He helps police to find murderers, maniacs etc. In first part, through the film, he discovers criminal action about 3 suicides.
The film deals with problems such as violence in modern world. It also raises a moral issue: how much we can influence other people*s lives. This film is neither a thriller nor a fairy tale. It is modern story with an interesting plot. Although the film has got its critics, I feel that there are only several weak scenes.
However, Sherlock is not a new Hollywood blockbuster, I believe it will obtain worthy niche in modern cinematography.

Review
This summer I read one english book which name is "Richard Branson Business Stripped Bare".

The narrator of the book, Richard Branson, is also the hero of the story. In this book, Richard Branson shares the inside track on his life in business and reveals the incredible truth about his most risky and brilliant deals. Business Stripped Bare discovers why Virgin tried to take on one of the world's biggest superbrands, how Virgin Mobile USA holds the record as the fastest company in history to generate revenues of over one billion dollars and how Richard is the only person in the world to have built eight billion-dollar companies from scratch in eight different sectors.

Business Stripped bare is a dynamic and truly original guide to success in business and in life. In this case I think that this book will help those people who are really interested in being successful, rich and just happy.

English

Reflections of Estonia
It is my intention to send leaflets containing articles and images of Estonia to schools all over the world. People will read our leaflets and get the impression of our country.

When people think of Estonia, they immediately think of Traditional Dance and Song festival. So we felt important to show an image of this festival because it is very important for Estonian nation. We agreed that we should also include the image of Tallinn and short article about it because this town says a lot about our culture.

As a group, we did not think it would be good idea to include breweries because for example for guys from Finland, Estonia is just cheep beer.

Finally, we decided to include pictures and short articles about our school in the leaflets because we feel that our school is our home. We also felt that it was important to show that life in hole country differs from life in our town - Tallinn.

The end.

Philosophy

Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems concerning matters such as existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language.It is distinguished from other ways of addressing fundamental questions, such as mysticism, myth, or the arts, by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument. The word "Philosophy" comes from the Greek φιλοσοφία - philosophia, which literally means "love of wisdom". Also, in my opinion, it is very important part of our live.
We must understand each other, communicate with each other.

I want to describe my uncle. His name is Alex. I know him all my life and I think that He is a very good person.
He has blond hair. It is quite short. Alex is tall and slim and really handsome.
Everyone says that He is very sympathetic. He has big, brown eyes. He is 27 years old.
Alex likes playing football and he likes dogs. He is a big football fan. Alex watches every match of his favorite team. I think that he is honest and cheerful, but disorganized and sometimes bad-tempered.

How would i like to spend my free time

How would i like to spend my free time? That is really good question!
I would like to have more free time than I have now. For example i want to have at least one day when i have nothing exept school. I hove some lessons even on Saturday and Sunday. And this is really hard. My day is planned - this is good, but I do not have free time to relax at all!!

On Sunday and Saturday after my LESSONS I have some spare time. When I have it I usually go with my friends to the cinema or to the billiard or we together play computer or just walk and discuss our problems. But for example on weekdays after school I go my training or to additional lessons. After that I do not have time at all so I only have time for studing.

Dear Editor,

I am writing to protest about the mess on the roads. The goverment use some chemical substances which damage our already bad roads.

First, the goverment says that they simple do not have any money to cleen the roads. But i do not beliave them. I think that the steal some money to their pockets.
Although i think that it is possible to clean pavements. Because of this chemical substances shoes and tires spoils very much.

I think to solve this problem they (goverment) must not steal money.

In my opinion other residents should write to the goverment about this issue. This Sunday I will be outside The Town Hall to collect signature for a petition.

I look forward to reading more letters about this issue in your newspaper.


Yours faithfully,
Igorj

CAR
This is story about car, car of my dream. I know that this is just dream but anyway.
My car must be black with white or green stripes on carcase. It must look like a sport car.
It must fly in sky, glide on water and teleport to another planets like Moon or Mars.
Inside the car must be a lot of cool things, like bath, coffe machine, good stereo, may be bed and etc. The speed of this car must be about 300 - 500 km per sec. I think that will be real in near future.
This car will be the best car in hole world.
