If you go to school or university, you are faced with a number of exams. Basically, these exams are supposed to test your knowledge and skills. Also, they may motivate you to study harder.

In my opinion, it is really the case that exams motivate students to study harder. Firstly, exams are often a pass to a higher level of education. If you get good marks in examinations, you are admitted to further education. If you fail, you do not get the admittion. So, you make every effort to keep the right to study further. Secondly, exams are a good way to assess your learning efficiency and detect possible gaps in your knowledge. Bad marks mean that your knowledge is flawed and you need to be more disciplined and work harder to do away with the flaws.

But there are people who believe that examinations do not give real motivation to a student. They say that being a good student with excellent marks does not guarantee future prosperity.

Nevertheless, I cannot assent to the foregoing opinion, because being a good student is the beginning of being a good employee or worker who can earn a good living. Highly qualified professionals are always in great demand in any business sector.

In conclusion, exams play an important part in our life, although any exam is a kind of pain. But the saying is: no pain, no gain!

This summer I went with my parents for a vacation in Sochi . On arrival in the city I immediately struck by subtropical plants . Huge cypress trees like the poplar , but surprised their uniqueness . Fir trees , palms and other lush exotic trees and shrubs were my first sight of Sochi .The first day we went to the Black Sea and then went there every day . Swimming, sunbathing , built castles . I jumped from the water slides so that the breath away ! But most of all I remember the first meeting with the sea. Walking barefoot on the hot pebbles , I flopped into a big foamy waves ! I was in weightlessness and stood on his feet far beyond the point where jumped into the water . Truth be told that the sea - a great power !Once Sochi is in the mountains as in the bowl. Mountains are very close and beckon to him . However, to go there we could not . But we went to the Dolphinarium .
The dolphins I really liked it . Large fur seals , sea lions and walruses just seemed sluggish . They are very active and fun to play with balls and catch fishes owed ​​to them as a reward . A quick and nimble dolphins and toothed whales beluga jumps from a springboard . They were very cheerful and friendly , they can be ironed. We took pictures with them .
