Is there anything you dislike about traveling? In the main, I'm really into traveling but unfortunately, there's something not appealing for me in it. First, the queues in front of the customs. Once, I've got stuck this way for about an hour, after the long-haul flight it was exhausting to stay there. Also, people who try to con you drive me crazy. I vividly remember the Turkish having tried to get some money from me after dropping the shoe brush on purpose. I wanted to help him but what I got instead? And finally, the journey back home. It'd be great if you'd been able just to get back without all these long journeys, during which you're shattered and fed up with all food and so on. Despite all mentioned, traveling is my passion and it encourages and inspires me. Thanks in advance for any corrections and suggestions.

What's the best time of day for you to study? As for me, I prefer studying in the morning not long after waking up. I feel full of beans and being focused is easier then. During the day there're hosts of distractions for me and it's quite complicated to study. Unfortunately, I'm an owl type of person and I wish I woke up earlier and had more time to study in peace and quiet. Thanks for the corrections and any suggestions related to vocabulary in advance.

Essay introduction practise #1 The question: International tourism is now more common than ever before. Some feel that this is a positive trend, while others do not. What are your opinions on this? My introduction to the essay: Worldwide travel has become as popular as never before. Many people consider it has a positive impact, whereas, others don’t. The saying “one man’s food, another’s poison” clearly illustrates my attitude to this issue. I'll be glad to hear your opinion about grammar, vocabulary and any other suggestions.

Can you share an idea you have recently picked up? Thanks for the corrections and any suggestions in advance. I also would be pleased to discuss the relevant topic. I've recently had a conversation with my friend sitting at his home and drinking some beer. What's the most appropriate topic for that occasion? Of course, life-balance, sport and the order in life, the life of people who have crossed this frightening age "30". Having been a rebel I've always been against the daily routine and sticking to the steady plan of your day, week. So I didn't have any fixed things except for my work. All other activities were flexible and varied from week to week depending on my mood and so on. But eventually, I've started noticing that my life looked like chaos, to be more precise like a mess. I shared this with my friend and he told me that he has special days for the work-outs, special days for the car-washing, special days for almost everything. The first and foremost, he said that despite the same routine every week he has a lot of free room in his schedule which can be filled with whatever he wants. It sounded compelling, but his results in life were even more compelling. Without thinking long and hard, I made my mind to have a go for it. It's been a week since I started. And surprisingly I feel calm, I know what is going to be tomorrow and I've finally found time for writing this note. Do you have the fixed timetable or you are the "moody" rebel which I used to be, too?

Is it better to watch films at the cinema or at home? Nowadays as we have almost all films online and lots of the cinemas in the cities, people can be in doubts whether to watch films at home or go to the cinema. But there are some important differences between these two ways. Firstly, the quality of the films can be significantly different. The cinemas have huge screens, amazing and realistic sound, which provide you with vivid experience, whereas at home there is usually an ordinary TV set and standard audio system. It can make difference for some films. Secondly, the prices at the cinemas can be high, especially in the evenings and at the weekends. However, watching films at home will cost you nothing. Also we spend a lot of time at home and it can be a good idea to change the surrounding, go out and invite friends to the cinema. It might be a great socializing activity. In conclusion, I think that some films should be watched at the cinemas and some at home. Also it can depend on your mood whether to stay at home and watch the film laying on your favourite sofa or go out.
