Holidays.

In my opinion, going sightseeing is the best way to spend a holiday. Every city or country has something special such as archeological sights or famous landmarks. It’s wonderful to see those places for yourself, not just in books or on TV. If I had a chance to go sightseeing somewhere I would definitely take a good camera and plenty of film. Also I would buy guidebooks in order to learn some facts about the places I saw. I would like to go on a safari holiday to see the animals in their natural environment

Jobs

Job satisfaction is more important than money as you spend so much of your life at work. I feel you can get a lot of pleasure when you are doing a job you particularly enjoy. But on the other hand, people can very easily become uninterested in their careers if they feel they are not paid well for what they do, because if they work conscientiously they should feel appreciated. And a good salary is the best way to motivate them to work more productively.

People tend to think that some jobs can be done by women or men only. I personally think that jobs should be open to both sexes. Women may have the same qualifications and experience as men. But unfortunately, employers are often skeptical about having women in more responsible posts. Maybe they think that women can leave to have babies

Holidays

If I were celebrating a special occasion, I would chose to go to a restaurant rather than have a party at home. In restaurants you can expect to enjoy varied and high quality food and drink. You don’t need to spend the whole day cooking and washing up.

Home.

If a fire broke out in my home, the first thing I would do would be to call the fire brigade and then I would try to locate the fire by throwing a dry blanket over it. Then I would try to leave the flat. I wouldn’t waste time getting dressed or putting on my slippers. If there was no fire escape I would open the window and shout “Help”

There are many steps you could take to prevent a fire from starting in your house. Firstly, if you smoke you should ensure that all cigarettes are extinguished properly. You should never smoke in bed as you could fall asleep with a lit cigarette in your hand and this could be fatal. I think that electrical appliances should be unplugged at night. Gas fires should always be properly turned off.

Clothes

I feel more comfortable in loose fitting clothes such as jeans and a cotton shirt. I’m happier in clothes that I know suit me rather than in latest fashions. And as I am an active person, I prefer to wear trainers

Shopping

The main factor which influences me when I go shopping for clothes is the price. I don’t see the point in paying large sums of money on a designer item of clothing when you can buy something for half the price that looks just as good. I also pay attention to the color of the garment I want to buy and try to match it with clothes I already own.

Young and Old

Young people are much more carefree as they have fewer responsibilities than older people. Older people tend to prefer peace and quietness whereas young people usually seek adventure and excitement. They go out and socialize a lot more than older people. The latter tend to be a lot wiser and careful when making decisions. Finally, young people tend to be more mobile than older people who have usually settled in one place

But very often the young and old have a lot in common. It depends on their personality

Computers

Computers have made a big difference to how children spend their leisure time. Before computers they might have read books or played imaginary games with their friends like cowboys and Indians. Now, they’d prefer to play computer games which they find more exciting

I think computers are great. They have made people’s lives easier and revolutionized the workplace. Any kind of information is more accessible and at the touch of a button you can find something out that before might have taken hours

Money

Sometimes I do the national lottery but usually just for fun. I never win anything. If I won a lot of money I would definitely go on an exotic holiday, but after that I’d put some money in the bank and let it gain interest, so that I would always have money if I needed it. Also I’d donate some money to charity so that other people could benefit from my good luck.
