Wie kann man das auf Deutsch sagen: zum Kaffee oder für Kaffee? In der Ukraine haben wir eine Tradition: wenn wir unsere Freunde besuchen gehen, dann nehmen wir immer was süßes mit (eine Tafel Schokolade oder eine Torte, zum Beispiel). Wir nennen es was zum Kaffee mitbringen. Ist es richtig so zu sagen: Ich bringe eine Torte zum Kaffee. Oder ist es besser zu sagen für Kaffee? Danke schön für ihre Antworte!

I cannot choose the correct word. Could you help me, please? Greg REFUSED|DENIED to pay for the meal as it was to disgusting to eat. It seems that the both variants are correct. What is the difference? The REMNANT|LEFTOVER|SCRAP|WASTE metal dealer went around the houses collecting broken machines that people didn't want any more. OMG, I even cannot choose 2 words o_O Thank you in advance! :)

Just now close your eyes and think, what can you do right now? And do it after opening your eyes. 

Don't wait. 

Our days, hours, minutes. Our life. Being optimistic, I always think that today's day will be a great one. And tomorrow's, too. But all the days are different. Simetimes, waking up in the morning, I think: today I don't know what to do exactly, I don't have any action plan, so, the day cannot be productive. But I become a day full of energy, actions, achievments and progress. The other day I have a plan. But something in the air doesn't allow me to become my results. The day is like empty, sleepy and desperate. The successful people say, we have to get a plan. I have one. And it helps me a lot. But it seems that the realisation of it doesn't always depend on us. It depends on something we cannot control. Our life is really wonderful and unpredictable. Thank you for reading. Be happy! Your Alevtina Smile

Never stop, but where are results? Being a little girl I dreamt about a lot of things, such as travelling around the world, nice work with people, being famous, a lot of money and making the world better. I was dreaming hard, and working hard either. I was trying to be perfect in every little thing I was doing. And so I have been doing till now. I am 29. I have got a job I adore. I have got a perfect family. I have learned a lot of things I wanted to be able to do, such as dancing, speaking in front of a big auditorium, speaking English fluently etc. But where are my results? Working hard doesn't mean to become a lot. I am trying to give a lot, for example, to help people. And all the pople around me love me because of this, and this makes me happy either. But I still don't have my own house, cannot travel and buy chocolate every day. What am I doing wrong? I need a meaning of people having their results. Thank you.

Destiny and our wishes - what is the difference?

Sometimes in our life happens something we cannot explain and understand. And after this happening,  we cannot find out the reason why is this so? Why do we have such things in our life? 

I have read about our thoughts and about the energy we release while thinking. That is why our dreams come true. While your dreaming and visualisation you give a lot of energy to space\God. And than you bacome the things you have dreamt about. 

Or there is an other opportunity. May be we wish ourselves only the things which are our destiny? And than we become them because they were and are our destiny?

How do you explain unexpected things happening to you in your life?

Deutsche, helfen Sie bitte! Warum?

Hallo!

Ich erlernte im Moment das Thema Passiv und die Konstruktion "sich lassen etw. machen" brachte mich aus dem Takt. Es gibt Situationen, wenn es korrekt ist, SICH zu benutzen, z.B. :

Ich lasse mir Haare schneiden.

In anderen Sätzen brauchen wir aber kein SICH:

Ich lasse mein Fahrrad nur selten reparieren.

Also, brauchen wir SICH nicht immer? Wann ist es möglich es nicht zu benutzen? Ist es korrekt so zu sagen:

Ich lasse mir mein Fahrrad reparieren.

Danke sehr für ihre Hilfe!

Electric or petrol cars? The first car appeared on British roads in 1888. By the year 2000 there may be as many as 29 million vehicles on British roads. Alternative forms of transport should be encouraged and international laws introduced to control car ownership and use. To what extent do you agree or disagree? A widely discussed issue nowadays is the increasing number of cars on British roads and all over the world. Now people are beginning to realize that alternative forms of vehicles are much more beneficial for our environment and economy that’s why it is necessary to encourage their using and to control traditional car ownership and utilizing. Personally, I tend to think that electric and hydrogen cars are the vehicle of our future because they construction reflects modern demand of environmental friendliness. Firstly, it is well known that traditional petrol cars release toxic gasses into the atmosphere and this way they damage our planet and pollute the air. What I mean here is that one car in 1888 was not as dangerous for human health as 29 million vehicles in 2000, and the numbers refer only to British roads. A good case in point is the fact that we have the lack of forests used to be the main lungs of our planet that causes the rise of toxic emissions in the atmosphere. On the other hand, it can also be argued that electric and hydrogen cars are the safest for our environment. That is to say about their engines running on electric batteries or hydrogen that makes no emissions and in the same time those cars have the same primary characteristics as petrol cars. Take for example Tesla cars being able to cover to 500 km with only one loading. The number of petrol cars must be controlled by government and it is absolutely necessary to increase the number of alternative car owners. In conclusion, taking everything mentioned into account in our final analysis we can say that in modern world there are many opportunities to save our nature without stopping applying cars. The only necessary condition for this is right international law control.

Prevention is better than cure “Prevention is better than cure”. Researching and treating diseases is too costly so it would be better to invest in preventative measures. To what extent do you agree? One of the widely discussed issues today is prevention of illnesses as a part of the fight against them. Now people are beginning to realize that it is better to invest in the prophylaxes of diseases because it is much cheaper as compared with treating them. Personally, I tend to think that prevention is not only profitable but also it can make the whole humanity healthier in common. Firstly, it is well known that our health depends on our life style. What I mean here is that researching and treating diseases is only a part of a fight against the effect of unhealthy life style. One of the main reasons behind that is the fact that we can cure the illness again and again but it will come back until the person changes his behavior. A good case in point is the fight against obesity by means of different diets. As long as the person is on a diet he or she loses weight. As the losing weight comes back to his or her common life style, the previously weight comes back very quickly. On the other hand, it can also be argued that inculcation of healthy life style to the masses is nowadays much easier because of mass media and Internet. That is to say that each government has all the possibilities to make its nation healthier without investing huge among of money in it. Take for example the effect can be made by showing right adverts or placing healthy pictures around to influence people subconscious. In conclusion, taking everything mentioned into account in our final analysis we can say that in modern life researching and treating diseases takes much more recourses than prevention them. This is my essay I've written as a part of my exam trayning. Thank you in advance for checking it :-)
