Education plays a very important role in our life. It is one of the most valuable possessions a man can get in his life.
During all the periods of human history education ranked high among people. Human progress mostly depended upon well-educated people. We get our knowledge of this world and life through education. Many famous discoveries would have been impossible if people were not interested in learning something. Self-education is very important for the development of human’s talents. Only through self-education a person can become a harmonically developed personality.
A person becomes a highly qualified specialist after getting some special education. And professionalism can be reached only through it. Even highly qualified specialists from time to time attend refresher courses to refresh their knowledge.
Education develops all sides of human personality, reveals his abilities. Besides, it helps a person to understand himself, to choose the right way in this world. The civilized state differs from others in the fact that it pays much attention to the educational policy. John Kennedy said: “Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education”. But it doesn’t concern only one particular nation. We know that science and art belong to the whole world. Before them the barriers of nationality disappear. So education brings people closer to each other, helps them to understand each other better.
My Eating Habits
My family prefers to have meals at home. I can cook very well and always help my mother in the kitchen. I can make vegetable and fruit salads, pies and pancakes with different tasty fillings. I like to get up early and help my mother with breakfast. For breakfast we usually have porridge, scrambled eggs, tea with sweet things. I am a student and spend a lot of time at school. From time to time I go to the school canteen. I take chops with boiled potatoes and some vegetable salad. When I don`t want to eat in the canteen I take some tasty things with. They can be fruits, a bun or a sandwich.
Of course, I enjoy my meal at home with my family on Saturdays and Sundays.. My mother, my younger sister and I like spicy dishes. But my father is from the Ukraine and he doesn`t like very spicy food. That is why we try to prepare different kinds of dishes of Russian, Korean and Ukrainian cuisine. Very often my mother cooks a soup-noodle according Korean recipe. It is very delicious and tasty. And I cook Ukrainian borsch. My father enjoys it. My sister lays the table with a nice tablecloth, clean plates, spoons, forks and knives. We sit down at the table together. My father smiles and makes jokes on me and my cooking abilities. I don`t feel offended with him, because he has a good sense of humor. He likes to say that eating at a restaurant is a waste of time and money. I completely agree with him.
