they must get a full secondary education.
Education

Educational Standards or regulations, as there are in many other countries.

Do you ever want to be
famous? I think that most people say YES. But what exactly makes people famous.
First of all it’s talent of course. If you can do something better than anyone
you become famous. As example Albert Einstein, Andrei Sakharov, Mozart, Isaac
Levitan etc. Other ways to become famous are mass media (the Internet,
television, radio, newspapers), sensational scandals, gossips and death. For
example Joan Rowling became famous thanks to TV, after Agatha Christie’s death
her books were sold in increasing quantities.
But I want to tell you about
my favorite writer. I think that Harper Lee is one of the greate

The book is one of the greatest wonders of
the world. It influences our characters, minds and thoughts, enriches our mind
with knowledge and besides reading is an enjoyable pastime. Reading opens new horizons before us. Books

thousands of years ago. Thanks to books we can talk to people who lived in
different ages and countries. Thus I need no company when I have a good book to
read. People need books in their everyday life. They need books when they

No
doubt, mass media are an important part of our life, because reading newspapers
and magazines, watching TV, listening to the news on the radio, making cell
phone calls, surfing the net are our main means of getting information in all
its variety.
A mobile phone or cell(ular) phone is an electronic telecommunications
device. Most current mobile phones connect to a cellular network of base
stations (cell sites), which is in turn interconnected to the public switched
telephone network (PSTN)(the exception are satellite phones). Cellular networks
were first introduced in the early to mid 1980s (the 1G generation). Prior
mobile phones operating without a cellular network (the so-called 0G
generation), such as Mobile Telephone Service, date back to 1946. Until the mid
to late 1980s, most mobile phones were sufficiently large that they were often
permanently installed in vehicles as car phones. With the advance of
miniaturization, currently the vast majority of

Philology is the study of ancient texts and languages. The term
originally meant a love (Greek philo-) of learning and literature (Greek
-logia). In the academic traditions of several nations, a wide sense of the
term "philology" describes the study of a language together with its
literature and the historical and cultural contexts which are indispensable for
an understanding of the literary works and other culturally significant texts.
Philology thus comprises the study of the grammar, rhetoric, history,
interpretation of authors, and critical traditions associated with a given
language. Such a wide-ranging definition is becoming rare, and
"philology" tends to refer to a study of texts from the perspective

Youth is a
very important period in the life of every man. This is the time when a person
discovers the world and tries to determine the place in the universe. Young
people face lots of problems, which are very important for them and don't
differ much from those that once their parents had to deal with. At the same
time every generation is unique. It differs from the one that preceded it in
its experience, ideals and a system of values. The adults say that the young
people are not what they are. These words are repeated from generation to
generation. To some extent they are true, because every new generation grows
up quicker, enjoys more freedom. It is better educated and benefits

Those who drink alcoholic beverages may want to rethink their drinking
in light of the many warnings about smaller amounts of alcohol use. The alcohol
industry and the media have portrayed one glass, even two glasses, of wine or
beer as not only safe, but possibly healthy. They tell the public that there is
only danger when the use of alcohol is excessive or abusive. Money, politics,
and a need to justify one’s own drug of choice, restricts and suppresses the
media coverage of the dangers when consuming light or moderate amounts of
alcohol. The Government’s silence in this matter is a by-product of massive
lobbying by the alcohol industry. The U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services tells us there is no lev
