Statement: playing sports is better than watching other people doing them. Some of us like spending time in front of the TV watching sport programs. It’s obviously less healthier than going jogging or doing gymnastics, but is it really better at all? As I think, playing sports and watching sports are different things, so comparing them isn’t completely right. Each of these activities has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, doing some physical exercises makes us feel happiness and satisfaction...

Statement: a childhood dream is often a reality. Nowadays lots of people don't know what they want and dream about. Probably, this difficulty comes from the childhood. But does that mean all children's dreams come true? In my opinion, people overstate when they say "I dreamt about that all my childhood!" Dreams, as values, change during the life when experiencing different situations, new feelings, so in different life periods we dream about different things. They're not state even if we think our plans are unchangeable...

Statement: one must discuss all important decisions in the family circle. Do you always discuss important decisions you make in your family circle? Do you think people must tell their plans to relatives before implementing them? Or should they rule their life by themselves only? In my opinion, people should make decisions without their parents' help if their plans don't affect on them. Each person should completely separate from his mom and dad and all family members he lives with. Usually teenagers...

Statement: a good teacher should always be strict and exacting. Some people think a good teacher should be strict, always criticizing his students and giving boring lessons. That way, in their opinion, students will study better. But it is really supposed to be like that? As I think, a teacher doesn't have to be obligatory strict to be a good teacher. A good teacher is ready to listen to his students and to help them, explain a topic again and give an example. He is interested in involving students in the learning process...

Statement: you should give up your hobbies in the 11th class if you want to finish school successfully. The last year at school is often tough time for students. They study a lot trying to rise their chances to pass the final exams and enter the university. They can even study at night and refuse from their hobbies during the long time of preparation. I want to talk about this situation which happens every new school year when students give up their hobbies. I think you shouldn't give up your interests even if you have a lot to do...

Statement: it is a waste of time to read the same book more than once. How many times have you read your favourite book? Have you ever thought why you want to read it again and again? Maybe, it's just a waste of time? I think there's nothing bad if you read one book more than once. When you enter author's imaginary world, you experience new emotions. You feel something about the characters, certain events and adventures which happen to them. Your feelings form memories and general opinion about the book, so when you read this book again, your memories appear, and emotions too...
