Green Ukraine 2030

Ukrain is faced to many different problems which are connected with environment: the changing weather pattern, deforestation, in some regions flood or drought, pollution by exhaust fumes and desertification. All of it has dire consequences. It can be volcanic eruption, earthquakes and even acid rains.

But if nowadays we have a lot of problems of that kind what can we expect in 2030? I`m sure that my children wouldn’t know about natural reserves or about animals which are on the verge of extinction. To prevent this, the government should worry about public health.

  One more problem is dump waste. Disposal of household waste is a daunting task for local habitants. It is not so easy just dump it away. This process contains many materials and it is time for long-term solution. Also more complex situation relates to toxic waste. We have to find ways to recycle it.

To avoid consequences that will be harmful to the environment in the future government should introduce green taxes. And we should pay attention to energy conservation. Switch to energy-saving eco light bulbs. They emit less heat and last far longer. They are more expensive, but we can greatly reduce your energy consumption. And one more thing to save our natural is don`t use disposable products.

So, if we want to save habitant in our country we must be more responsible and it is absolutely vital to find a solution that will help us use alternative sources of energy.

     

It happens

One man was so lonely and tired of moody London`s streets and exhausted of daily routine. He can`t stand it anymore.  He was a handsome man, good as gold but a little bit selfish. For clarity let`s call him Mr. D. It was hard to get well with somebody for him.  Mr. D never falls madly in love with somebody. He couldn`t pluck up the courage to confess his feelings. His job always comes between private life. He had a feeling that something goes wrong. Mr. D was not a spontaneous and he would like to be happy-go-lucky sort of person. He would like to give some spontaneous trip a try.

One rainy morning Mr. D packed his suitcases, put off his business and set off his journey. He didn`t let know even close friends his plans. Mr. D named random a flight number. It was № 21 – Italy. He was sitting by the window in the plane and dreamed of Italian Dome. The flight was long and got on Mr.’s D nerves. Finally he left the plane. The handsome man wandered the streets and totally forgot about life in London. The only thing that turned him down to earth was the one beautiful girl. She had oval face, straight, long, brown hair, she was not tall, but she had a great figure. Maybe Mr. D idealized her but it was love at first sight. It was his type! Without even thinking, he approached her.

-         Hello! It maybe weird but I can`t wait anymore. I like you very much. I know it`s too fast but I want ask you out to go for dinner with me.

The girl was surprised.

-         Hi! Nice, thank you but how could I know that you are not an awkward customer?

Thank God she speaks English!

-         Actually I can`t guarantee it. I just can swear I`m good person and I really want you to accept my proposal.

-         I never seeking outdoors. I would venture but I'll make an exception. I think you are definitely get some charisma. So I can`t turn this proposal down.

-         It sounds great, I really happy.

They spent a lovely evening in a café. They talked about everything. She was convinced that he has a heart of gold. And he fell in love with her freckles and her kindness. They were crazy about each other and lived long and happy!

The dark side of history

I like watching movies about gangsters and reading about their impact on people's lives and the country. One of the figures in the criminal life of America is John Dillinger.  

John Herbert Dillinger was born in June 22, 1903. He was an American gangster and bank robber in the Depression-era United States. His gang robbed two dozen banks and four police stations. Dillinger escaped from jail twice; he was also charged with, but never convicted of. For his crimes was declared an enemy of society's number one. In the heyday of the Depression-era outlaw Dillinger was the most notorious of all, standing out even among more violent criminals. The government demanded federal action, and J. Edgar Hoover developed a more sophisticated Federal Bureau of Investigation as a weapon against organized crime and used Dillinger and his gang as his campaign platform to launch the FBI. It is really interesting figure for me. I don`t mean that I`m a fan of his actions, but his operations have contributed to the improvement of FBI. Exciting to observe his behavior and his lifestyle, this gradually began to pour in popular culture and cinematography. He was always at war with the police. His arrogance and sharp wit irritated FBI; he skillfully managed to walk in front of the police and not getting their eyes. He was a threat to peace. Despite his notoriety, he admired possessing charm and unique style. I am impressed with how John cleverly thought out all the details of robberies and killing everyone who occurred to him on the way. It is interesting to trace the details of his robberies and look for reasons why he could not be caught by police.
To catch John was a matter of honor and in places where police were ambushed him were hanged signs on the cars.

In search of a better

Dear Victoria,

I am write this letter to you to tell about my new life in America. As you already know I came from Italy. And USA is the new universe for me. This journey scared the life out of me and it was great effort for all my family. Three week trip by ship across the Atlantic Ocean was big experience.

We always thought of discrimination and we hoped that this will not happen with us. Immigration was huge culture shock. There were lots of stereotypes about foreigners in America. We did not want animosity to us. But on the Ellis Island, we realized that people here are friendly. We needed to pass health inspection and legal inspection. Unfortunately I had some problems on the legal inspection. I asked to show my passport. I told that my passport was stolen and I need renew my passport. Fortunately on the inspection they received my birth certificate.

Moving from my native country I was just refugee. My family and I had nothing.  We were uprooted from familiar place. There was a lot I had to get accustomed to: food, language, apartment, school, and people. We should get new life out of nothing. We didn`t have much money and my parents tried to look for a job all over the place. 

Despite the difficulties my mom started work as a garment worker and my dad is a newsier.  We rented a small room. We had to sleep in the same bed and had to live with many neighbors. But any way we rough it. Parents soon began to earn more and I was able to go to school. I found new friends. With my friends we like go for a wander around the cobbled streets. 

I still have feelings of nostalgia for the home in Italy, but I should do my bit in American life. 

I know that not all immigrants were able to settle down here, but we are lucky. 

Thank you for your help.
Sincerely yours,
Rosalia
