What is a good friend?

A good friend is a person, who is very close to me. A good friend must understand me and we must have something in common, for example we could share some interests. A good friend is the one whom I can trust. It is very important. I must be sure, that my friend never betrays me. It is very nice to have a good friend!

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to express my strong dissatisfaction about the way hens are treated in many parts of Europe.

They are kept in terrible conditions. Farmers keep them in small cages called "batteries", and it is horrible. Five or six hens are put in one cage. They cannot flap their wings or turn around in the cage. They are not given any sunshine or fresh air and it is very unnatural because hens must live outside and get enough oxygen and sunlight. Those hens cannot live full life and lay healthy eggs. I my opinion “free range” farm system is much better. It enables hens to live in healthier conditions. As a result eggs that are laid by healthy hens are of better quality.
In my opinion, I think we should all try to buy free-range eggs, not eggs from battery hens.

Yours faithfully,

Anton Shambalov

If I were the Minister of Transport.

Transport is a very important part of our life. We use transport every day. Cars, busses, trolleys, trams - these kinds of transport are most popular. I think that transport is very important and it helps people to move from one point to another faster.

If I were a Minister of Transport I would make metropolitan in our town. It would be very comfortable for lots of people to travel in it. Underground train would help peolple to travel faster. It is much more ecological. If I were the Minister of Transport I would make busses, trams and trolleys travel not so often. Then people would use metropolitan and air would become clearer.

I think that Transport Minister's job is very responsible. That's why i would like to be the Minister of Transport.
