Moreover the hand made ones will have unique designs compared to their machine made counterparts. This is because for a machine they are simply products whereas for a human being they are artwork. In my country there are certain articles which are best when hand made. For example there are certain types of decors which are excellent. There is a sort of embroidered piece of cloth called phulkhari which is made in Punjabi villages. It also comes as machine made. But the hand made ones is just too good. Thus for me the choice between hand made and machine made article is going to vary according to my requirements. Essay 719 Topic 140 Items made by hand vs. by machine The choice between an item made by hand or by machine often depends on the money you have and how much you want to spend. Despite of that I prefer hand-made items. In the following text I will support my opinion with a few examples. First, hand-made furniture or clothes are unique. You are the only person who has got this special thing because all hand-made items are different from each other as the producer makes every thing like no other. This separates you from the others buying products made in serial production and even makes you unique. Another point is that often you can instruct the producer in details of the item so that it will be constructed after your imaginations. So you would be a kind of co-producer and designer of your own product. For example, a lot of furniture producers ask their clients before they begin with the building of the furniture to tell them their detailed wishes. Even in clothes industry, there is this possibility nowadays. Of course, the non-serial-product is of better quality than those mass products. The producer puts more effort in the production and therefore needs more time in the creation process. As a result the item has a bigger value and probably pleases its owner for a longer time than an ordinary product. In conclusion, I can say that although I am a student and do not have much money I am always trying to buy hand-made products where it is possible. I just enjoy them a lot more than serial products and so it does not matter that they cost a little bit more than the others.

Automatic production has many advantages such as less-expensive equipment and simply fast producing processes, attracting many entrepreneurs around the world. However, some people still prefer items, which are made by hand. It is believed that these items have a part of the souls and impressive dedication contributed by their creators. Also each hand-made item could have unique details that machines are not capable of. In my opinion, items made by hand are more appealing to me in different ramifications that I will discuss below. Although, items made by hand are usually more expensive than those made by machines, my firm inclination towards hand-made items will remain even if the automatic production erased the manual one. For example, hand-made cigars in Cuba have their own history of how they were made. Raised on the fields of Cuba, cigars tobacco then goes to the hands of its creators, who make the beautiful and terrific Cuban cigars. It is possible to order one`s initials on each cigar. After having such experience, people usually do not buy cheap and identical cigars produced by machines. Finally, I would like to say that, items made by hand, could bring us the sophisticated and extravagant feelings and emotions, because these items have their own creators and histories. By having these items, people could achieve more knowledge and interesting facts about their creation and production. Essay 721 Topic 140 Items made by hand vs. by machine As science and technology advances over the centuries, many items such as furniture or clothes, which used to be made only by hand, now can also be made by machine. The trend is more and more things are made in highly automatic and mechanized factories, while old hand making industry has largely reduced. I consider this as a encouraging trend and an evidence of social progress, and I would be happy to buy those machine made products rather than those made by hand. Lower prices and ensured quality are two of my consideration. Since it need less work and allows production of a greater scale, machine-made items are almost always cheaper than its hand-made counterpart. In the same time, the qualities of machine-made products are not lowered by the reduced costs, because machines which neither get tired nor make mistakes, can work as precisely as most well trained hands of man. Some hospitals now use robots instead of surgeon`s hands to do some dangerous operation, is powerful For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org evidence to that. Considered its social impact, I would also choose items made by machine. Machine work has freed the greatest amount of man labor. If our machines stay in the level of 18th century, to feed the 6 billion people to do more intellectual work such a experiments, research and designing. In another word, the widely using of machine actually allows us to have more colorful lives. On the other hand, hand-making industries caused a large number of accidents every year, especially in developing countries. If hand making is not encouraged, many people will not lose their hands or even lives. For the interests of myself and of the society, I believe machine- made industries could be given more encouragement and when I choose I would certainly prefer machine made items. Essay 722 Topic 140 Items made by hand vs. by machine Some people do not care buying stuff that is made by machines. However, I would rather buy stuff that is made by hand. There are many supports to prove my preference. Hand made is good for realizing how precious stuff is, being able to be reliable of the stuff, and enjoying original styles. From these reasons, I prefer to choose hand made. Firstly, I believe that hand made stuff such as clothes or furniture is better than stuff that are made by machines because I can appreciate people who made the stuff. This feeling makes me try to keep using for a long time. I do not throw away easily. Consequently, hand made stuff teaches me to think that stuff that I use is very valuable, and I can feel thankful for people who made things and for hand made stuff. Secondly, hand made stuff are more trustworthy because people made one by one, so they make stuff carefully. As a result, I can use the stuff for a long time. In addition, stuff that is made by hand can be detail that machine cannot make like that. Finally, the reason why I prefer hand made is that there are many original fashions. Stuff that is made by machines is not interesting because the number of stuff is a lot. This means every one wears the same fashions or bringing the same bags. The number of stuff that is made by hand is much less and rare because people take time making stuff. In conclusion, even though there are many stuff that is made by machines these days, I prefer to buy stuff that is made by hand. I believe that having original stuff can help to develop my own personality because I can see what kind of stuff I like from choosing unique stuff that is not made by machines.

There are many important changes that I would like to make in my school. But if I had to make only one change I would permit pupil to go to classes of their choice. In a school which I attended students did not have a choice, all subjects were compulsory. In my country this is a usual situation, all schools are uniform and almost all changes are directed from the Ministry of Education. For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org Every student has different interests in study. Many like to study literature, while others find studying math much more enticing. For example, from the early age I wanted to be a computer programmer or mathematician, but I have to study advanced chemistry or literature. I hated those subjects, I knew that as soon as I went out of school I would forget everything about chemistry formulas or Tolstoy`s last novel. But I had to study those subjects on the same level as people who wanted to go to chemistry departments in university. Also every student has subjects in which he has very strong knowledge and abilities, while in other subjects his comprehension might be much weaker. Every student is unique, but Russian educational system makes everyone study the same subjects. For instance, I was very good at English language, but others were not. A lot of times I had to repeat the rules, which I knew by heart. Most people in my group were not even able to understand indirect speech! But if we had optional subjects the situation would change dramatically. Instead of repeating obsolete things, everyone would study subjects that would help him/her in his/her future life. For example, I would have studied advanced calculus or differential equations, subjects that were of great interest to me in high school. Or I would have studied English with a group with much better understanding of English language, than my old group. Of cause, some subjects would still be obligatory, for example everyone should be able to read and write, but most of the subjects might be optional. Everyone in our world is unique and it is not right to make everybody study the same things. Of cause it is much easier to administer uniform schools than schools with optional subjects. But schools are created to teach students, not to be easy to control. Optional subjects would make my school better suited to real needs of students in it, would be much more interesting to study in. Essay 726 Topic 141 the important change First of all, I think that if I will be able to change the atmosphere in the university I attended it will cause the more convenient and pleasant conditions for all students. The stiff rules often influence the person's mind and make him or her shy. It can cause many different problems in the personal and social student's life. For example, I will make the lessons in the university similar to the conversation of the good friends where everybody will feel free to highlight his or her point of view and will be able to prove his or her rights. I really think that the real truth can be born only in the discussion. Second, I think that the next great problem that can be overwhelm with my innovation is a sense of lonely what feel almost all young people, who had to live their own home first time in the life. In the daily rush, between studies and home, students often neglect their emotional needs and mental health. But to feel and be truly good, every man needs a sense of connection and belonging to others. Therefore, if we create cozy and warm atmosphere to everyone who attend the university, we will create the new family to our friends. I think it For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org will help to overwhelm different problems that often appear in the initial period of the study. it is not a secret that even gifted students perform worse when they exist in stressful and unwelcoming atmosphere. Summarizing all the above-mentioned, I want to conclude that the creating new warm and pleasant atmosphere to everyone who has attended to the school is a very important task, which helps every man to enjoy his university years, and increases a study level and lifts spirits. Essay 727 Topic 142 What gift would you give to help a child develop? It seems, in so many items, very difficult for us to prefer one gift to another because all of them have their advantages and disadvantages to the extent that it is hard to distinguish. Yet that does not mean these gift are all the same to me. If let me choose a gift for a child, to be frank, I would prefer an animal. If a child has a animal, such as a cat, a dog, or a rabbit, he or she will develop love for the animal. When the child feed the animal, see it sleeping, clean it and play with it, no doubt, he or she will produce the love for the little animals. This kind of love may be extended to all the animals, the nature, even all the people and the entire world. Love is the best thing that we wish our children could have, is not it? I still remember the cat as my first birthday gift. My father sent it to me, and soon the cat became my best friend. I once was a bad boy, but after I had this lovely animal, I became tenderer, more patient and more reasonable. Animals are the best friends of people. In conclusion, the reason above can make me draw the conclusion that a animal maybe the best gift to help a child develop. Anyway, it is confined to me, different persons can make different choices according to their personality and fondness. But when it turns to me, I would not hesitate a minute to prefer a animal as a gift for a child. Essay 728 Topic 142 What gift would you give to help a child develop? I would like to give the child a cute dog, which would grow up with him in his childhood. More than a pet, a dog can become the child`s good friend. They may play with each other. The child runs, and the dog chases after him. The child throws a ball, and the dog jumps to catch it. The dog can stay with the child if he is sad. Some dogs even can protect their owners, when they are in danger. Therefore, people said that dogs were people`s best friends. Moreover, via taking care of the dog, the child can learn how to take the responsibility. He must feed the dog when it is hungry. He must take care of it every moment when it got sick. He must clean the dog when it was dirty. He would transform all the similar experience into taking care of people. In the well-protected environment built by parents, this kind of experience is specially valuable and importance for children`s future. For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org The child even would undergo the cruel moment when the dog is dying. This critical tine would give the child a meaningful lesson of life what he would learn to face the painful situation. Then he would become stronger hereafter. In conclusion, I believe a child can grow up with sound and complete personality if he has a dog accompanying with him. Thus, I would give a dog as a gift to help a child develop. Essay 729 Topic 143 A long vacation vs, several short vacations Some people think that students should be given one long vacation each year, while others believe students should have several short vacations throughout the year. While there are advantages for both options, in my opinion students should be given several short vacations each year. If students were given only one long vacation a year, that vacation would definitely be in a summer. Students could not have vacation in different periods of time because lectures and exams are scheduled in the same time for all students. You cannot arrange a private lecture or exam session. While many students like to lie on a beach during recession, others like to spend holidays in a cold climate. Actually I am a ski fan and every winter I spend my two-week recession in Slovakia. Also if you have only one long vacation per year you are not able to restore your physical condition properly. Of cause after a long vacation you will be very active and your performance will skyrocket. You will be eager to learn. But only after half a year you will be in a much worse shape. Night cramming for exams will exhaust your and you will not have time to restore. Also many people do not like long vacations because they become bored without working or studying. They like to work and if they do not work or study for a long period of time, they become anxious and think too much about their work. Lastly, after a long vacation you have to learn anew how to study. You get used to waking up late and doing nothing all the day. For many people it`s very difficult to change habits. Several years ago I was unemployed for several month and after I managed to find a work, it took me two weeks to get used to waking up early without alarm clock. In conclusion, I want to say that all people are different and for some students one long vacation would be very beneficial but, by and large, for majority of students several short vacations are a much better choice. Essay 730 Topic 143 A long vacation vs, several short vacations Whether students should be given a long vacation or several short vacations throughout For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org the year is a controversial issue among people. Some people believe that is beneficial for students to have one long vacation. Other people argue that several short vacations will increase student`s efficiency. In my opinion, a long vacation is the best for students because they can work, have fun and develop themselves during a long vacation. First of all, a long vacation is good for students because it is conspicuous that majority of them need to work to be able to pay university fees. Having some months without the obligation to study or to attend classes one can find a job, and earn wages that are very important for the student. Without this money majority of them cannot continue being students. For example, when I was a student, my parents could not afford to pay all my university fees, so during the summer I had found a job and with the money I had earned I paid my expenses. Secondly, in a long vacation one can take a long trip. During the high school and university the character and knowledge of the students is being rounded up. In those years they tend to do a lot of things, to learn about everything around them. Therefore, their favorite activity is to take trips. For example, if one wants to visit Europe he or she needs at least 2 weeks to do it. There are a lot of places to be visited and is a nonsense to go to Europe for a weekend. Therefore, for some kind of trips, one will require more than few days of vacation. Thirdly, a student can have the opportunity to improve his or her knowledge in a field by taking a course during that long vacation. Because usually there is no time for courses during the semester, a long vacation is more than welcome for this activity. For example, when I was a student, during the summer vacation, which was three months long, I took a sculpture course. It was a dream of mine, but I have never had time for it. That time the dream came true thanks to long vacations that we had during the university. To sum up, a long vacation is a dream for students because it gives the opportunity to students to work in order to earn wages, to take long trips and to take courses that require some months of attendance and study. I am glad that I had a long vacation during my years in school. Essay 731 Topic 143 A long vacation vs, several short vacations I strongly support the idea that students should be given several short vacations during the year. The main reason, why I prefer several short vacations instead of one long break, is because of the following facts. First of all, I want to give a short explanation of what is scientifically proven as the best method of learning. To keep the knowledge for a lifetime a student should repeat every day what he has learned during the day. At the end of the week, he should repeat everything from the entire week. Consequently, he should repeat the material of the For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org month after four weeks. This system works fine because the human brain works best, if after we learned something we let some time pass and refresh the knowledge after some time. If the knowledge is stored in the brain and is not be used for a long time, it will take much more effort to call back what we once learned. Consequently, a few short breaks during the year, support the systematic of letting pass some time after something is learned and restore it a short time later. Therefore, a few breaks or vacation during the year bring the biggest learning effect. There are also some minor reasons, why I would prefer not having one big vacation for the year. A few breaks give you more opportunities to do short trips to different places. You can experience much more places and you can go at the different times of the year. So you are not bound to go to a place only during summer, especially if you enjoy winter activities. On the other hand, for somebody who wants to see a foreign country far away, it is more difficult to go for a trip for just a couple of days. Usually a minimum of two weeks are required if you want to go somewhere far away. But I still believe that there is some few exemption possible, if you are planning a bigger vacation, especially because of the fact that as a student you usually can afford a big and expensive vacation only once in a while. Of course, the preferences of having one long vacation or a several short ones are very different among the students. Personally, I prefer having several short vacations because of the efficient learning and the opportunity to see more places. Essay 732 Topic 143 A long vacation vs, several short vacations Vacation is an important part in our life. Everyone likes to take a vacation during his /her free time. Vacation can help us relax and refill, so it is important to arrange a reasonable vacation if we have limited time schedule. As I know, some people like to take a long vacation of three or more weeks per year, however, others like to take a short vacation several time per year which just needs three or four days each. We can see there are both advantages and disadvantages between these two types vacations. I want to show some benefits of them. Firstly, long vacation always attractive to people because it can last long time and people can arrange a big vacation plan. Why you can do this because you have enough time. That is why I like to take a long vacation. In the other hand, short vacation also has its benefits. You can take a short vacation several times during one year, and you do not feel life is so stress because you have several times to refill yourself during one year. That`s why many people like to take several short vacations. Considering my experience and personality, I `d like to have a long vacation per year. I will explore a few of important reasons to support my incline. To begin with, the most important reason why I like to have a long vacation is that I will have enough time to arrange a big and detailed vacation in one year. You know, vacation needs plan, so I`d like to make a detailed plan and take a planed vacation. I have a dream For more material and information, please visit Tai Lieu Du Hoc at www.tailieuduhoc.org about vacation. I want to go many most attractive places all over the world. So I need time to arrange every of them carefully. If I have a long vacation per year, then I can go the one place per year and I certainly have enough time to enjoy every place. In the second place, a long vacation can make you feel totally relax in a long time. Do you think it is a good idea when you finished the whole year `s work and you can have a month time off the work? In a month you can do lots of things to relax yourself and refill yourself. I still remembered that last I have a long vacation over one month. I took a few days to have a good sleep and do some exercise, and then I planed a vacation to Europe with my family. It totally took 20 days. We visited France, England and Holland. When I came back to home, I still have several days to recover from the long trip. After this long vacation, I began my job with a fresh and satisfied mood. Based on the discussion above, I `d like to say a long vacation is my best choice. Admittedly I also think several short vacations have some attractive to me. For instance, several breaks per year can make my life have health rhythm. If let me do some choose, I still like to choose a long vacation because I believe it is a suitable vacation type for me. Essay 733 Topic 143 A long vacation vs, several short vacations Students could be active and successful with an organized program for their free time therefore, programming for the student`s free time is a worthwhile work. There is a common question that should students have one long vacation each year or several short vacations throughout the year? Both of the above opinions have their advantages and disadvantages. A long vacation gives students this opportunity to find a good part time job during their vacation. They could either save some money to pay for continuing their education or could obtain some useful experience that may be utility in their major. For example, I study mechanical engineering at university and the students of engineering departments should pass a course named training workshop. This course takes three months to finish thus; only with a long vacation it is possible to pass this course. Moreover students can experience society problems and challenge with them and find the different between school and society and prepare themselves for a real life because some school rules differ with society rules. Furthermore long vacation is a suitable time for schools and universities to organize the required facilities for future year. For example it may need a new building for school and it is obvious that this work is not done in a short time. Also a long vacation can provide this occasion that family member can go to travel with each other. A long vacation not only is useful for students extra activities but also is a wide opportunity for them to review the lessons that they did not learn along the year. Nevertheless, this long vacation may be boring if students and their parents do not arrange a useful program for this vacation. Then with a systematic program students can use this vacation very well. . hand made ones will have unique designs compared to their machine made counterparts. This is because for a machine they are simply products whereas for a. prefer items, which are made by hand. It is believed that these items have a part of the souls and impressive dedication contributed by their creators. Also
