Intro: Advantages of playing in team sports and individual sports
Supporting paragraph 1: Advantages of playing individual sports
Advantages: Lay back activity
                   concentrate more
Example: bowling you can decade whether you want to do play as a simple Friday night activity or concentrate more and make it as a hobby

Supporting paragraph 2: Advantages of playing in team sports
advantages: meet new people
                 fun
                 devoted
example: In basketball team you are more devoted to go to practices, you have fun in games, and meet a lot of new people


Playing sports is very popular among teenagers these days because we have a wide variety of choices we can choose from. First of all it is in our favor whether we want to play in team sports or individual sports. Each one of them has its advantages of course.

The first point I would like to make is that there are strong advantages in playing in individual sports.
Firstly, individual sports can be more lay back activities. That means that you get to choose whether you want to give your all in that sport or just do it for fun. For example we have bowling.
It is a fun sport or activity, that is all up to you. Do you want to go to practice everyday for that sport and take part in competitions, or just play it as a fun activity with friends on a Friday night.
Although if you choose that you want to devote yourself then needless to say you know you can concentrate a lot more if you are an individual. You have no distractions that can get in your way.

Even though individual sports have strong advantages, playing in team sports have more compelling advantages.
One benefit is that you can meet a whole lot of new people including your new team mates when you join a new team. Or whenever you play a game you can also meet the friends of your team mates that have come to support your team. Granted you can have a big circle of friends.
In addition of playing in team sports you can be sure that it can lots of fun. Also the devotion is priceless. If you are truly devoted in this team than you have to show up in every practice if you don't want to let your team down. And this devotion leads to great character development. To illustrate these advantages, let's say you're in a basketball team. You have new friends and they are all counting on you to play good for the next big game. Therefore you have to devote yourself to go to every practice for the big day. When the day finally comes you see your family and friends supporting you and your team simultaneously with the cheering crowd. It is a great feeling.

I personally have taken part in individual sports and team sports. I can clearly see how individual sports can be better for some people,for me however I can say that I am a team player. I love being devoted in my team and go to team practices. At the same time I consider myself as an adventurous person so I have no problem in having a big circle of friends.

Agree or Disagree: Actions speak louder than words

Intro: Agree
Supporting paragraph 1: Actions are more important than words
Example: When you say sorry it doesn't mean anything but when you actually show with your actions that you are sorry that is more important
Reason: Because words are easy, actions are a little harder
Personal Story: Recent trouble at school

The saying "Actions are louder than words" is quite popular and we hear it very often in song lyrics, movies and even everyday life. But is it accurate? Do I agree or disagree?
Of course I personally undoubtedly agree.
Firstly my opinion is that actions are way more important than words in general. Let's say for example you have done someone wrong and you feel very anxious and bad about it. You say sorry to the person but they won't believe you, therefore you have to show that person with actions that you are really sorry and that the issue won't repeat itself again.
I have a personal story that compliments the previous example.
A few months ago at school me and some of my other classmates decided to skip one entire day of school, however we didn't want to be punished for skipping class, so we came up with a plan. Our plan was to stink up the class with garlic so the principle would let the whole class go due to bad smell in our class. I have to say now writing this story I can see how childish it was. Nevertheless, we did it. The next day the school was in chaos because apparently the whole school stunk in garlic. So of course the principle was determined to find out who was responsible for it. Long story short, there were cameras all over school that we didn't know about so the culprits were caught. We embarrassed our class teacher in front on the principle and we felt really bad about it. Especially me since my class teacher is best friends with my mom and she has helped me with anything that I have ever wanted and needed, so needless to say I felt very bad for my childish actions.
Our punishment was very big. I personally said sorry to my class teacher million times but she didn't want to hear it. So I decided to show her with my actions that I was truly sorry and that she shouldn't expect things like that from me ever again. So for months I haven't been late to school, haven't skipped school whatsoever, improved all my grades and behaved more than ever during lessons. Just 1 month went by and my class teacher was very proud of me and I was finally forgiven.
The reason for this is because words are way to easy, anyone can say anything and these days you don't know who to trust. However actions are a different story. Not anyone can fake actions.
To summarize I agree very much with this statement because I truly feel that in order to show someone your true emotions you need to act more and speak less.

What famous place would you like to visit?

Intro: Disney Land
Supporting paragraph 1: It's in the states
example: Orlando,Florida
reason: I would personally love to go to the states so If I visit Disney Land then I get to see all the wonderful places.
personal story:  There are lots of amusement parks in the world and I have been in a few and I would love to also visit this particular amusement park some day.
Supporting paragraph 2: Fun activities
example: games, roller-coasters
reason: I love amusement parks
personal story: Last year I was in this big amusement park where they give you a map in the entrance and the rides were all rated by how dangerous they were(1-5) and also how much adrenaline the ride gives you( Also from 1-5).


The world we live in is a big and wonderful place one might say. Granted it can only be wonderful to us if we are aware of how beautiful it is, that is to say we should all travel as much as we can. May I quote:
"The world is like a book and those who don't travel only read one page".
The famous place that I would like to visit someday of my choice is Disney Land. It is kind of odd I know. But I have quite good reasons supporting my idea.
The first point I would like to make is that Disney Land it's located in the States, therefore if I get lucky and visit it someday that means that I also get to see the wonderful cities where it is located for example: Orlando and Florida. Undoubtedly there are lots of amusement parks in the world and I myself have been in a few, besides I am quite aware that Disney Land is also located in other continents, but I would most personally like going to the ones that are placed in the USA.
My second point is that Disney Land is actually known for it's famous fun activities, games and roller-coasters. That is to say I love amusement parks. I have always loved them, since I was a little girl I quite remember begging my parents to go to amusement parks whenever we were in vacation in a new place. Even now I still beg them! I remember the last time I was in an amusement park. It was last year in Koln, Germany. The amusement park was named Fantasy Land as I recall. It was the biggest amusement park in the area that is for sure. At the entrance the people that worked there gave us maps of the park and the rides were actually rated by how dangerous they are(1-5) and how much adrenaline they give you(Also 1-5).
 I remember having a very joyful time with my family and I hope to have another similar experience very soon but this time I really hope it's in Disney Land.

Writing: Linking words

A.Link each pair of sentences in the way shown in brackets using a suitable linking word or phrase.

• Use in addition, moreover, furthermore and what is more to add information.
• Use although, despite (the fact that), however and on the other hand to show a contrast.
• Use firstly, secondly thirdly and finally/lastly to put information in order.
• Use therefore, consequently and this means that to show a result,
• Use In conclusion and to conclude to summarise your ideas.

1.I love doing adventurous sports. I recently took up windsurfing.Consequently It has changed my life.I feel more alive and adventurous,like I can do everything.I love it! I recommend to everybody to try at least 1 adventurous sport or event in their lives as it can really change your mind and soul.
2.Firstly, individual sports require patience. They can help build up concentration. Secondly young athletes in individual sports learn to be self reliant.Their success is entirely dependent on their own efforts.If they want to win, they can’t count on someone else carrying them through the competition. If they lose a match, individual sport athletes can’t blame anyone else for their failure. This teaches them to be responsible for their own action and decisions.And lastly these kind of sports can be particularly beneficial for kids and even adults with disorders because they help develop self-esteem, focus, and social skills while encouraging physical activity.
3.Competitive sports can be good fun. Participants often take things too seriously.Although when a sport is transformed into a highly competitive, win-at-all-costs activity, with someone's parents yelling at refs, who wants to play anymore? Of course winning can be fun,on the other hand it truly is the participation that is the most fun of all.
4.She set a world record last year. She wasn’t in good health.Despite her lack of energy she didn't lack in hard work.It is inspiring and motivating for kids all over the world to see this kind of commitment that we ,the new generation,although we try,but fail at all cost to show.

B.Read the writing task below and then answer the questions about it.

Dear Agony Aunt,

 I'm so tired and angry. My parents insist that I do a leisure activity every day after school. They say that I should do something sporty in my free time, so that I become more disciplined. They’ve signed me up for swimming lessons, basketball and tennis without asking me first. How can I make them see that if I take on all these after-school activities, my school work will start to suffer. I'm also not very fond of team sports, because they make teenagers more competitive towards their friends. I just want to have a fun and relaxing time with my friends.

 Some parents force their children to do after-school activities. Is this a good thing? How might this negatively affect young people? Write an essay discussing your opinions using specific examples.

1 Why has the teenager written to the Agony Aunt?
2 Do you agree or disagree with the writer of the letter?
3 What do you have to write?
4 Which questions do you have to answer?
5 What should you also include?
6 Will the essay be formal or informal?

1.The tired teenager has written to the Agony Aunt to reveal his angriness and hopelessness towards his parents that force him into doing 3 different sports.
2.I agree to the writer because I myself am a teenager,in addition I know how terribly hard it can be to balance school work and social life(among other things),never less doing 3 extra sports can be awfully overwhelming and a tad to much.Although sports have their benefits,I must say just 1 individual or team sport a week is more than enough.
3.I'd have to write that the writer has to communicate with his parents and show them his or her thoughts on this matter.
4.How can I make them see that if I take on all these after-school activities, my school work will start to suffer.-Again the individual should communicate with their parents.Calm communication is key to an understanding, trusting relationship.Either a friendship,a romantic relationship or family relationship.
5.I would also include that they shouldn't think negatively towards sports.Not all sports can be competitive,some can be really fun.There are all kinds of things you can do that can be relaxing with you and together with your friends also.
6.Informal.

-Dear _____
Firstly,thanks for writing to me.Secondly I want you to know that I deeply understand your thoughts and you are not alone in this matter.Moreover there are thousands,maybe millions,of kids in the world that feel forced and under pressure to do as many sports as they can.That is not OKAY.However, one must agree that all sports have their advantages.In your email I read that you are not very keen on sports,and the reason is that in your opinion they make teenagers more competitive towards their friends.Well that is partially true.Depending on your team,friends,coach,parents and the sport itself.
Despite that,you shouldn't think negatively towards all sports.There are plenty of sport activities that one can do alone or with a group of friends that is lots of fun.
Lastly,my advice is to communicate openly with your parents.In such situations, both parties should express their feelings and needs in a healthy way,not by forcing,fighting or other negative ways.I strongly think that your parents will be understanding,all you need is patience. Good luck!

C Read the model article and complete it with these linking words.

As a result/ Finally/ Firstly/In conclusion/ Moreover/ On the other hand

-It is common for parents to decide how their children spend their free time. This sometimes creates
arguments as parents and children do not always see eye to eye on this matter.
-(1) Firstly young people can benefit from leisure activities. They can build up their confidence
and make them more disciplined. (2)Moreover they learn new skills they probably would not
learn at home, For example, team sports like basketball encourage teenagers to co-operate with others in addition to improving general fitness.
-(3) On the other hand, some teenagers complain that taking part in several leisure activities affects their schoolwork, If they take on too many activities, young people become exhausted, (4)As a result
there is a negative effect on their studies. (5)Finally teenagers can become too competitive
as they sometimes take winning too seriously. For example, two friends who are playing on different teams might stop talking to each other if one team beats the other,
-(6)In conclusion , unless parents give their children freedom to choose which activities they do and
how often they do them, children will not benefit from them. Parents must listen to their children, especially when they are putting them under pressure.

Autism

Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects how people perceive the world and interact with others.

Autistic people see, hear and feel the world differently to other people. If you are autistic, you are autistic for life; autism is not an illness or disease and cannot be 'cured'. 

Autism is a spectrum condition. All autistic people share certain difficulties, but being autistic will affect them in different ways. Some autistic people also have learning disabilities, mental health issues or other conditions, meaning people need different levels of support. All people on the autism spectrum learn and develop. With the right sort of support, all can be helped to live a more fulfilling life of their own choosing.

The Press Survey

The press

1.What are the main stories of the press today?

-In my opinion the main stories that the press discusses most these days is about celebrities,politicians and sport events.

2.What are the differences between the tabloids and the quality dailies in the UK/USA?

They often write about the same events,however, their styles are completely different. Tabloids focus on celebrities, their lives, successes, love affairs and rumors. The quality dailies presents the most important news, political events or sport occurrences.

3.Are there similar types of paper in your country?

Yes,although all the information that is needed either important or unimportant,we can find it online.Almost no one, expect our grandparents and surely some of the younger generation, read newspapers anymore.

Money Talk Survey

Advantages and Disadvantages(Money Talk)

BANKS

Pros: It's the most traditional and safe way to deposit your paycheck or savings.In banks you have a lot of options.Whether you want a personal savings or checking account, trust fund, or business checking account, most major banks can provide all these services in one place.Also you can obtain personal loan or business loan if you need.

Cons: There are some drawbacks of banking system.Those drawbacks include that you have to pay interest if you borrow the money.Also if you aren't paying the credit card they can go after all your properties and if you are paying late you will be charged with a late fee.

CREDIT CARDS

Pros: They are super convenient,fast and safe to keep your money in.You just need to pull out your card,swipe it and the thing is yours.Credit cards are mostly used for online purchases.Its not possible to pay by cash over the Internet so Credit Cards are essential if you buy things online.The biggest pro about Credit Cards is that they give rewards for high usage such are airline tickets and other goods.You  generally get some points for each time you use a credit card.These points are accumulated and in the end you can buy something with those points.

Cons:  Credit Cards are dangerous for people who have less self control or are shopping freaks.It allows you to wrack up debt easily as you don’t need to apply for a loan.You can have multiple credit cards and carry huge debt.You can be stuck in a debt trap if your monthly earnings can’t cover the interest payments on your credit card debt.Many people get bankrupt and have their life destroyed through credit cards.

BEING RICH

Pros:Who doesn't want to be rich? First of all, you can enjoy a lot of things that money can buy,you don’t have to worry about matters related to money,about your living, for example: fear for losing a job, saving money to raise the child, etc.I think the biggest advantage of being rich is that you can travel the world and decide wherever you want to go to college to without needing to worry about tuition fees and payments.Also a big advantage of wealth is that you are able to give a lot to charities and help a lot of people.

Cons:However, being rich does have some disadvantages, perhaps when you’re rich, a lot of people will be jealous and envy you and that can bring a lot of risk on your life.You will most likely not have real friends because people these days may use you or strive for your weaknesses.

Possibly, you will also become materialistic.

As a matter of fact, things will get boring, since you can afford everything that money can pay, so you will participate on things that can entertain you, for example, risky things like gambling. That’s why there are people who get addicted to gambling.

HAVING A MORTGAGE

Pros:First of all having a mortgage makes the process of owning a home more affordable.For most people, buying a house is the biggest purchase you’ll ever make.A mortgage comes in handy to make the purchase affordable.With a mortgage, you are paying small amounts of money towards the house over many years.Since the payments towards the home are spread over years, the periodic payments are manageable and affordable.And a mortgage is the most cost effective way of borrowing.

Because a mortgage is secured against your property, interest rates tend to be lower than other forms of borrowing. With a mortgage, the lender has the security that if you are unable to repay the mortgage they can sell the property to pay back the mortgage.

Cons:Although mortgages are the most popular form of debt when you want to buy a house, they do come with some disadvantages:For example,the fees.In addition to mortgage interests, you are expected to pay other mortgage fees when getting a mortgage.These fees can be hefty.Also you pay back much more than you borrowed.Like any other loan, mortgage loans come with interest. At the end of the term, you’ll have paid the original loan amount plus accumulated interests.

PENSION SCHEMES

Pros:One of the most obvious advantages of pensions is that when you reach retirement, your pension plan will give you monthly payments for the rest of your life. It's like if you're still getting paid by the company even though you're no longer working.

Cons: But one of the disadvantages is if you run into a financial emergency, you can't count on the pension money to bail you out.That money stays with the employer until you actually retire.The only way to get it early is if you quit.

DIRECT DEBIT

Pros: When it comes to the advantages of paying by direct debit, convenience is always at the top of the list.It is quick and easy way to pay your bills: there are no envelopes to post or checks to write. There are also no worries about overlooking a bill and later being assessed late fees due to a delayed payment.You can simply just forget about it,except for the hole in your bank account that is a constant reminder.

Cons: One of the cons has to do with losing control of the process.While the need to write checks is eliminated, that does not mean the direct debit payments do not need to be tracked. By not doing so could leave a checking account in chaos. In addition, making changes to direct debit payments can be very difficult. For example, if payment dates need to be changed,the time and effort needed to do so can sometimes be overwhelming.

Money talk

What is the currency in your country?

The currency in my country is the Macedonian Denar.

What is the exchange rate with the Euro/US dollar?

1 Euro is equal to 1.06 US Dollar.

Whats the rate of income tax and VAT in your country?

The Personal Income Tax Rate in Macedonia stands at 10 percent.Along with the Standard VAT Rate stands at 18 percent.

How would society work without money?

It is no secret that money makes this world go round.That little piece of paper is enough motivation for all us to wake up early in the mornings,work all day and stay all night to think of other ways to make even more money.It is a strange currency to be honest.It is also a big headache.In my personal opinion our lives would be much more different IF our society never knew what money is.For starters we would do the job that we LIKE.Not some difficult job that probably the majority of people dread to get up in the morning and go to.They say if you chose the job you love you'll never work a day in your life.And it's very true.

Do you think poor countries should be required to pay their debts to the rich countries?

It depends mostly on the countries that are involved.If the poor country is poor for reasons that the people in it are lets say lazy and don't really work to pay their debts,then there should be consequences.However if the country is truly poor then other rich countries should tolerate and help other countries as much as they can. 

The world's richest three men have more money between them than the world's poorest sixty countries-should there be a redistribution?How?

Yes of course there should be redistribution by the men themselves.They should choose differently how they spend their wealth and invest more in charities and to these poor countries.
