About high heels.. A thought has come into my mind today, a fact which cannot be ignored: women wearing high-heeled shoes have become a rare occasion in the streets of my town. In previous years most women paraded around in heels. Where have they gone? Has something happened to our mentality or is it just a matter of fashion? Don’t think, please, that I’m extremely concerned about the issue, I’m just reflecting. Because, as I see it, high heels are not just an element of women’s outfit, it’s much more. For any woman high heels are a kind of “lethal weapon” when she hunts for men, since by wearing high heeled shoes she looks more appealing. Moreover, high heels give her a specific feeling of a higher self-esteem, like, I’ve put on my heels – I’m a princess, I’ve taken them off – I’m an ordinary girl. So, it’s a little strange that women have refused to wear high heeled shoes. Come to think of it, the concept of princess is only relevant if there is a prince. However, today the romantic idea of a girl waiting for her manly prince riding a white horse seems to be out of fashion. I suppose this is not coincidentally that the unisex trend is prevailing in clothing these days. The thing is, the pace of life has accelerated and life itself has become more complicated for women in particular. Now they often have to work equally with men and the trend of erasure of external gender borders just reflects this social phenomenon. Indeed, aggressive sexuality is no longer comme il faut. So, it looks like high heels have been out from everyday city life as inappropriate and uncomfortable stuff. In conclusion, I believe the changes which have occurred in our attitude to wearing high heels are still positive. Because, it’s so painful to look at some fashionista waddling in high heels along the cracked pavement with suffering facial expression which is read: only not to fall down. For a clever woman high heels worn in a suitable situation will always remain a viable means for conquering men’s hearts.

About ice cream... Well, today I’m going to talk about ice cream. Do you like ice cream? I am sure, you do) I love it, too but where has it gone, the ice cream that makes me feel divine? I haven’t eaten such one since my childhood. You can argue, of course, like, sure, the grass is greener, the sky is brighter let alone ice cream which is surely sweeter in anyone’s childhood. But I’ll kindly let you with your skepticism and keep my sweet childhood memories. As a school girl I used to go by bike to the nearest ice cream café to buy some ice cream. I’ve always loved the kind which is called sundae (here we call it “plombirrrr”))))). Well, I used to buy not less than 2 kilos at once. They sold it in bulk, so I handed a plastic bag to the sales woman and she put ice cream into it generously pouring with syrup over. Then I went back home to place my catch into the fridge which then from time to time magneted me during the rest of the day. As years went on, things have changed and so has ice cream. Not only has it become more expensive (now I can only afford two ice cream cones), its taste has definitely worsened. Once I even had a sickness after eating ice cream. I think it’s because in my childhood ice cream was made from natural cream but now it is made from something-like-cream. Well, to sum up, obviously, life is becoming better and better, since these days I’m not at risk of obesity and can boast my perfect fitness)

Can anybody check this? Over the past several decades, cloning has been the topic of much heated debate. The discussion begs questions of ethics, morality, legislation and technical issues as well. What are the boundaries of practical application this cutting-edge technology? I believe that cloning experiments may turn out to be an effective solution to numerous problems humankind has today. To begin with, by using cloning technique we can resurrect some species which died out or appeared to be on the brink of extinction by the fault of us, humans. Think of the blue whale, this animal is an important part of the oceanic ecosystem and its extinction, which we are direct causers, would be an irreparable loss. Furthermore, therapeutic cloning opens us great prospects in producing tissues and even entire organs that can be used to replace the injured or diseased ones. On the flip side, cloning presents us with certain concerns which cannot be neglected. For instance, the way a cloned human being would identify himself is uncertain since a human clone does not have a natural background, inherent in traditionally born people. Hence, there may arise not only psychological but also legal issues. Furthermore, the purpose of human cloning is equivocal. The lack of clear regulations on which cases should be admitted as reasonable for human cloning may lead to such objectionable phenomenon as human trafficking. And last but not least, a high deformity rate in cloned organisms makes us reflect deeply if we are ready to put down failed pet clones let alone human ones. In view of the above, currently cloning seems to be hardly applicable to humans at all. To sum up, despite all the shortcomings of the technique, we should not give up cloning experiments. It is clear that cloning has already become a significant part of scientific research. The path mankind has stepped to is full of obstacles and serious risks but when have any dangers been able to stop human beings from cognition the world? People like children tend to put their hands in the flame to find out the danger of fire. Pandora’s Box has been opened and we only have to hope that humankind will safely outgrow its infancy to become strong and wise.

Please, check it. Nowadays there are still people who maintain the idea that professions should be divided into men's and women's ones. Nevertheless, the number of those who are against this concept is increasing. Let us examine some of the reasons for this difference of opinions. I strongly believe that professions cannot be men's or women's. First of all, people have absolutely different abilities despite the belonging to any sex. More and more people prove this by their own experience. In addition, due to the influence of feminism modern women are educated enough for various professions. In previous times they did not even have an opportunity to study at university and develop their minds. In spite of these arguments, some people think there are male and female professions. To begin with, they are sure that hard kinds of work, such as raising heavy stuff, cannot be realized by women due to the physical abilities. Furthermore, women have turn of mind different from men's one, so they are not capable to cope with some mathematical tasks. I cannot agree with these statements. Firstly, there are many technical inventions in modern world that can replace human physical force.Secondly, I believe that women's nonmathematical turn of mind is just a common stereotype. It is connected with the lack of education for women and their only role of a wife and a mother in the past. All in all, each person in our world is wonderfully unique. This fact should always be taken into account and everybody should be allowed to do the work where they can realize their potential.

clothes and behaviour There is an opinion that it is possible to identify the character of a person by appearance. But we wonder if clothes can define behaviour. People have different points of view on this issue. Let us examine some reasons for such various attitudes. I absolutely agree that clothes have its own influence on people. First of all, your look often create your sence of self. For example, wearing comfortable and cozy clothes you like make you feel calm and relaxed in society. In addition, an unusual outfit that does not correspond to social preferences and standarts gives people more confidence. If a person goes against society for the sake of his own opinion and interests he will be likly able to overcome shyness and become courageous enough to stick up for his beliefs. Nevertheless, other people are sure that clothes cannot shape people and impact on their personalities. They believe that a certain type of clothes is unable to change the regular way of people's behaviour. I can argue against the statement given above. In spite of the fact, that clothes do not change character in general, they can have an impact on such insignificant at the first glance but still important things as self-confidence and feelings. All in all, I am sure that our look definitely has influence on our behaviour and mood by changing the peception of reality.

Could you please check my essay? It is obvious for anyone that nowadays rapidly developing technology has had a great impact on almost every sphere of people's life. The way we communicate with each other, our interrelationships are those things that have been subjected to the most significant changes. There is no doubt that the way we communicate is constantly developing taking new, modern forms. All lingual changes that take place in modern languages are not only those which connected to the natural evolutionary process but there are some directly affeсted by technology. For instance, there appeared lots of abbreviations and shortened words in many modern languages which is the result of emerged possibility to communicate via modern gadgets with tiny screens. Are there any benefits in these lingual novelties for the mankind? As I see it, there certainly are. Evidently, presence of vivid stickers, smiles or emogies in messages makes them more expressive, emotional and capacitive. With all this, we can continuously hear complains about difficulty today's people have in attempts to make friends or find a soul mate. Saddly, it's become too familiar to feel lonely while being in a community because it seems everyone around is stuck in their social networks. Still, I believe in people, in their ability to sympathize. The most valuable things about people's relationships can never be changed dramatically and modern people’s way of communication will serve their everlasting purposes. In conclusion, I would like to point out that communication is changing and technology affects it greatly. But hardly any novelties can change the basics of humans' relationships.

is it correct? My arguments for this point of view are listed as follows.

Check my writing, please. Can hard work compensate for the lack of talent? (part 2) So, what is actually a talent? Anybody understands that a talent is outstanding abilities in some particular of spheres which can be quite numerous. Indeed, one can be talented in music, mathematics, languages or sport. There is an opinion that many people have a talent or even talents at birth. But problem number one is that not everyone discovers in what particular area they are talented. Problem number two is that when you have found out that you are gifted in something, not always your social environment, or any other circumstances favor to development of the talent. Rough talent will never shine as it, like a diamond, needs for faceting. A full-blown talent with its innate ability of unusual thinking and strengthened by everyday purposeful work can achieve inaccessible height. This way talented people become genii. They produce original ideas and embody them in their works. Their mind works another way, more effectively and nontrivial. In conclusion, I strongly believe that talented people owe their talents to innate abilities and however hard you try your hard work will never beat talent, of course, in case the talent works hard.

Help me, please Some people maintain the idea that volunteering is a great thing. Others are of the opinion that it is just a waste of time. Let us examine some of the reasons for such contrasting attitudes. I completely agree that volunteering has a lot of advantages. To begin with, volunteers greatly help charity organizations which cannot hire specialists with their modest funds. In this way volunteers contribute to doing good deeds. Furthermore, volunteering provides young people with an opportunity to gain valuable professional skills. Nevertheless, some people do not see any benefits in volunteering. Firstly, volunteers do not receive money for their work. Additionally, they spend a lot of time on activities which will probably not become their main occupation in future. I cannot agree with the statement given above. First of all, it is all right that you are not paid for your work because you get experience in return. Besides, this experience can be added to your CV which may give you an advantage when applying for a job. Moreover, even if you do not like this experience, your disappointment will prevent you from a wrong choice in live. You will be determined what is yours and what is not. To sum up, I am completely sure that volunteering is necessary not only for volunteers themselves but also for the whole society.
