2. I prefer to live in a city because i think that life in a city is always more exciting and more comfortable than life in a country or in a small town.
First of all, in cities there is usually something to do or somewhere to go. In the city there is a large access to education an there is easier to find good and ineresting job. Moreover there is a good selection of cinemas, galeries, theaters or restaurants, where people can spand their free time. There is always something interesting and it is impossible to be bored.
In the cities, there are a lot of good shops where we can do the shopping easily and quickly. Moreover there are many sports facilities such as swimming pools, gym halls or tennis courts where people can spend their free time and practis their favourite sports.
Young people in cities are in better situation, than young people in village or in a small town, because young city- dwallers can go to clubs, discos, and spend their leisure time. They have also more opportunities to meet someone.
However living in a big city have some disadvantages. Havy traffic is big problem. Fumes emitted into the atmosphere polutte the air and many city-dwallers suffer from serious medical disorders. Moreover there are many car accidents every day and the noise never stops. There are many cars and it is difficult to find a parking place especially in the centre. In addition the crime rate in cities is very high.
Summing up, in spite of all these disadvantages, living in a city is more exciting, interesting and never dull for me.

6. The sacred homeland, which gives us heart and true love, always holds the memory of my beautiful childhood. Now, when grown up wise, the innovations of my hometown make me accustomed, touched, uncontrollable pride, happiness.
An uncomfortable feeling in my heart. The old days rush back, mixing what is in the present. If the old days, the countryside is only brown strips, rainy season is muddy, slippery and sunny season, dust and dust are now all wrapped up his new coat with smooth, smooth concrete . The steps, the roads stretching all the way, traffic of the people are much more convenient. Then there are the high rise roofs that grow up close together, looks like a magnificent palace instead of thatched roofs, the roof is crooked. Electricity has come to the village long ago, only the oil lamp, now the light bulb, all activities of life, of life are civilized, much improved. In the family, each household has electrical appliances, utilities such as TV, refrigerator, fan, dryer, washing machine, air conditioner ... The quality of life has improved markedly Helping the country's image grow much more.
In addition, there are also new and refurbished buildings. Garment factories, companies, joint venture enterprises in domestic and foreign investment, has brought labor resources, provide jobs for many people. As a result, farmers are not only attached to the field every year, they are also joining the companies to increase their income. It seems that, in the flow of your country, in the pace of industrialization, modernization they have adapted and become more dynamic, faster pace of life. The roofs, pagodas are remodeled more beautiful, spiritual life of the people are also richer, more exciting on the occasion, holidays, festivals ... It is the bright colors that clear I have witnessed in my hometown.
Hometown is increasingly renewed, signaling the new development of the nation. I hope that I will study good to contribute to the renewal, enrich the beautiful civilization of her homeland.

Do you feel parents do not understand the heavy pressure you are experiencing at school? Maybe your parents think you do not have to work hard to raise your family, cover expenses, or satisfy your employer. That's the way it is, but you still think that the pressure you endure in school is no less than your parents, even more.
Only walking between school and home can be stressful. Ms. Tara, in the United States, said: "On the bus to take students often encounters the fight. They often have to stop and take people down. At times like that, we may be late for at least half an hour. "
Is there any tension in school? Barely! Perhaps you agree with the statements below:
Stressed by the pressure from the teacher.
"The teachers set my expectations and wanted me to reach the maximum. I feel pressured to please them. "- Sandra, Fiji.
"The teacher always pushes the students to study well, especially those with good academic performance. They really put pressure on us. "- April, USA.
"Even if you have good goals for your life, some teachers make you feel helpless because you do not set a goal that they think you should reach, that is, higher education." - Naomi, USA.
How about you?

Stress from the pressure from friends.

3. From adults to teens to children, everyone has stress in everyday life. Adults have the stress of a job, stress caring for families, and stress paying bills. Children at a younger age also face stress when parent's fight, divorce, or are not capable to learn as rapidly as other kids. Teens also face a lot of stress. Teenagers often have a harder time dealing with stresses because they are at an age when it seems not appropriate, or not cool, to ask adults for help, emotions and hormones are out of control, and sometimes they just don't understand stress causes it. Sports, school, and parents are the three main causes for stress.
The first major cause for stress is school. Test taking, trying to achieve excellent grades, starting a new school, trying to fit in, those can cause stress at school, stress cannot be always terrible, some will cause pressure that will cause one to work harder. But mainly stress leads to headaches, lack of concentration, forgetfulness, or stomachaches. I understand this past couple weeks I have undertaken more stress than I ever have felt before. I had these school comp papers due, Seneys huge test coming up, and semester tests in general; this made me feel large amounts of stress. The further students find themselves in school, the extra stress they feel over trying to search out the perfect college and deciding what to do with their lives, I know next year college will only cause additional stress for myself and family dealing with financial aid. Again school is a major source for stress.
A second stress symptom are the sports. Winning or achieving my goal is the greatest accomplishment in the world, when students participate in school sports, feeling stress from coaches, teammates, and parents are common in sports. Coaches want solid work and constant dedication to that specific sport. This causes an enormous stress considering I participate in four sports wit
