How much can you learn in a month? I work for a magazine, which was doing an article about British language learners. As an experiment, they asked me to learn a completely new language for one month. Then I had to go to the country and do some tests' to see if I could survive' in different situations. I decided to learn Polish because my great-grandmother was Polish and I have some relatives there. I can already speak French and Spanish quite well but Polish isn't a Latin-based language so I knew it would be completely different. I did a one-month intensive course at a language school in Birmingham. I thought i was good at E languages before I started learning Polish, but now I'm not so sure. I found it incredibly difficult. The grammar was really complicated and the words were not like any other language I know so it was very hard to remember them. For example, 1 thought football' was more or less an international word, but in Polish it's pilka nożna, And the pronunciation is unbelievable! Every word is full of z's where you don't expect them, like jezdzisz which means you go'. My course finished yesterday and I'm going to Kraków for the weekend to do my tests. A local guide called Kasia is coming with me and Is going to give me a mark out of 10. ​

The person must be intelligent! And if his profession does not need intelligence? And if he could not get an education: there were circumstances? And if the intelligence made him a "black sheep" among employees, friends, family, becomes a hindrance of convergence with other people? No no and one more time no! Intelligence is needed under any circumstances. They need you and those around you. It is very, very important, first of all, in order to live happily for a long time: it was so long! After all, intelligence is identical to moral health, and health is necessary in order to live a long time - not only physically, but mentally and.
In an ancient book it says: "Respect your father and your mother, and will be long-lived on the earth." This applies to all people, and every single person. It wisely. But first, we define what is intelligence, and then - why it is connected with the commandment of longevity. Many believe that an intelligent man - a man well-read, well-educated (and its formation is mainly humanitarian), travels a lot, knows several languages. However, you can have these qualities and not be an intellectual, but you can not have none of this and still be internally intelligent man. In fact, depriving intelligent human memory. Let him forget everything in the world, would not know the classics of literature, will not remember the best works of art, if he can smell out the beauty of nature, to understand the character and personality of the other person, and, realizing help him not to show rudeness, indifference, malice, envy, and adequately appreciate it - that this is a true intellectual.
Intelligence is not just knowledge, but also in the ability to understand one's neighbor. It is a thousand little things: the ability to politely argue modestly behave at the table, the ability to seamlessly (which is invisibly) to help others, protect the environment, do not litter around him - not litter cigarette butts or dirty word, bad ideas (this is also the garbage, yeah also some!). Intelligence - the ability to understand, to perceive, is a tolerant attitude to the world and to people. Intelligence is necessary in itself to develop, train, train mental strength as physical train. And training is possible and necessary under any circumstances. The fact that the training of physical strength helps to longevity - this is understandable. Much less understand that longevity is necessary to train the spiritual and mental strength.
The fact that the malevolent and evil reaction to others, rudeness and lack of understanding of those around us - it is a sign of mental and spiritual weakness, the human inability to live ... Aesthetically insensitive man - unhappy man. A person who is not able to understand the other person, who attributes to him only bad intentions, which always takes offense at others - a man darkens their lives and prevents live. Mental weakness leads to physical weakness. I'm no doctor, but I am convinced of this. Years of experience has convinced me of that. Friendliness and kindness make a person not only physically healthy but also looks beautiful. Yes, it is beautiful ...

At A RestaurantВ ресторанеI enjoy eating out. We often go to a restaurant with my parents. It usually happens at weekend or Friday evenings, when everybody is free from work and studies. My mum likes Italian food: pasta with different sauces, pizza, lasagne and other national dishes. My father prefers eastern cuisine. His favourite dish is grilled meat with vegetables. As for me, I’m a fan of sushi and fast food. As you see our tastes differ. That’s why we choose to go to various restaurants. For example, last week, we went to the nearest sushi-bar. We had a great time there. First of all, the atmosphere in the restaurant was nice. There were black square tables and lots of Japanese national ornaments. We chose the table next to the window. The waiters were also very kind and welcoming. My parents don’t like Japanese food much, so they ordered simply some salads and fried chicken wings. Luckily, they don’t serve only national food in this restaurant. I ordered a portion of traditional rolls and a cup green tea. Everything was rather delicious. My parents tried a small piece of my rolls and said they weren’t bad. We asked the waiter to bring us the bill and left after paying. It was an excellent evening. Sometimes I eat out with my friends. We usually go to a fast food place. There is a large shopping center not far from my house and we often go there. When we get hungry, we go to the ground floor where many fast food restaurants are situated. There we usually have a sandwich or a portion of pancakes with a glass of juice.Я люблю ходить куда-нибудь поесть. Мы часто ходим в ресторан с родителями. Обычно это происходит в выходные дни или в пятницу вечером, когда все свободны от работы и учебы. Моя мама любит итальянскую кухню: паста с различными соусами, пицца, лазанья и другие национальные блюда. Мой отец предпочитает восточную кухню. Его любимым блюдом является мясо на гриле с овощами. Что касается меня, то я поклонницы суши и фастфуда. Как видите, наши вкусы различны. Вот почему мы решили ходить в разные рестораны. Например, на неделе, мы ходили в ближайший суши-бар. Мы прекрасно провели там время. Прежде всего, атмосфера в ресторане была хорошей. Там были черные квадратные столики и много японских национальных украшений. Мы выбрали столик рядом с окном. Официанты были также очень добры и радушны. Мои родители не особо любят японскую еду, поэтому они заказали просто какие-то салаты и жареные куриные крылышки. К счастью, они подают не только национальную еду в этом ресторане. Я заказал порцию традиционных роллов и чашку зеленого чая. Все было довольно вкусно. Мои родители попробовали небольшой кусок моих роллов и сказали, что они не плохи. Мы попросили официанта принести нам счет, и ушли после того, как оплатили его. Это был отличный вечер. Иногда я хожу куда-нибудь поесть с друзьями. Мы обычно идем в места, где фаст-фуд. Недалеко от моего дома есть большой торговый центр, и мы там часто там бываем. Проголодавшись, мы идем на нижний этаж, где расположено много ресторанов быстрого питания. Там мы, как правило, берем по сэндвичу или порции блинов со стаканом сока.
