A poem on happiness

Where the sun hides behind the horizon slowly,

Where stars fall down hastily to the earth,

There in bushes lies in wait snow-white owl,

Which because of her night gig forgot about stage fright,

 

Where the blue sky smiles in the morning

Where the silver moon sent his brightness,

There bigger than another tree is standing

And a squirrel hid in his branches.

 

Where the colourful rainbow rises above everything

Where modest rain sheds his tears,

There trumpets' hum announces a warning

The huge herd of big elephants draws near

 

Where the salmon swims to the top of the river,

Where red tiger warm himself in sun,

There four-leaf clovers have grown up for a year

And above them birds' singing resounds

 

Where is this place? Do you know what it means?

It's not far away, because,

If you'd like got carried away by your dreams

Your eyes just have to be closed.

An essay on happiness

Everyone wants to be happy in their life. For some people it’s enough to spend their free time with a group of friends and family. They need to talk to them without any pressure, whereas other ones set ambitious goals and they’d like to achieve success. However it’s generally thought that human life is full of problems and disasters which make us sad. Every day we get new experiences that can be good or bad. Furthermore, we live in 21st century, money make our world go round and there are a lot of technology and modern gadgets. Consequently, we forget about our feelings and necessities. We want to be strong and equal to life’s requirement, even though we’re not ready for this. During the pursuit of fame or money it’s really hard to relax and take a breath. Is it possible to be happy in this cruel world? Is it easy? These are the questions which I’d like to consider.

 It’s hard to deny that today we haven’t got as much free time as a few years ago. Students have been learning for hours and they find out new information. In other words, they are too busy to do something for themselves. The adults are in similar situations, because they try to earn enough money for their family. They work so hard but the employers usually pay peanuts. They are absolutely exhausted and they are not able to fulfill their obligations. They forget about health and as a result they fall ill or become depressed. It’s easy to conclude that they certainly aren’t happy. What is more people who look as if they manage to live in this modern world often have nasty habits. When they achieve success, they want to get more and more. Consequently they lose family and friends. They don’t understand that the love of money is the root of all evil. When they finally see their mistakes it’s too late. While they are going to be happy, they become victim of their ambitions. I’m sure they’re not satisfied with their life.

On the other hand, the world is certainly  beautiful. You just have to stop for a while to look around to notice absolutely gorgeous nature, hear the bird’s singing and smell the flowers’ scent. It true that today world is still on the run and everything is changing. We need to be ready for these changes but we’re not alone. There are a lot of helpful people around us who can give us a hand in each, even the worst situations. Apart from that we have to find out what is really important for us and worry only about it. You can set an aim and then fulfill it. You will feel proud of yourself and it means happiness. Try to make your dreams come true and you won’t regret it. Your dreams will give you a power to fight with bad fortune. It’s not expensive or difficult, just find a quiet place and let your dreams carry you away. It’s your fabulous world and no one can take it away. There you may relax and come up with new ideas. Life is great and you have to discover it!

To sum up, I must confirm that life in this world can be fine. While we are fulfilling our goals we feel pleased and excited. When we visit our favourite places we are relieved and laid-back. Although we often have arguments with our relatives and friends, we need to remember that blood is thicker than water so we can always rely on them. It’s sometimes hard to achieve our aims and it demands a lot of work but this effort will certainly bring many benefits. We should remember that despite the fact that we’re still in a hurry it’s worth a while to stop and think about our necessities. Try to recall good experiences which you have got recently and you’d like to repeat them. And don’t  worry if you can’t remember any of this kind of situations. Close your eyes and think about places which you like, see the people who are important for you. Your dreams will certainly raise a smile on your face. Don’t wait, just do it!

First year : summary

We started from elementary things that means from present tenses.  But I think nobody regrets. Everyone had a chance to recall this simple but very important grammar.

On English did everything -  we were speaking, writing and first of all we were learning. It was something like education by fun. Thanks to work in pairs we could get to know views of each other.

From time to time, at the subjects there were projects. We made one about a capsule time. This presentation included what we will put in here. It was curious and comic homework because of stuff hidden there.

Usually our units were finished by tests and some kind of essays. Of course between units appeared  (sometimes surprising) small tests.

To sum up, I think it was worthy year. A year with part of knowledge, work and fun.  I hope the next class will be as good as previous.
