Nowadays practically everyone feels the influence of foreign language learning on his/her life. The last 15 years it has become widely expected that the pupils, students and young specialists should know at least one language,, not mentioning his native one. The other language is an international unit between different people, cultures and nationalities. Year by year, we continue to understand that it is not enough to be good only at one language, but it is much more effective for the insurance of the future life to know 2,3, or even4 of them. The more we know, the more countries’ borders are opened for us. There are few methods how to make the process of language studying easier. First of all, the most comfortable way to begin to study it is to make an appropriate program involving reading text, listening to records, writing down and learning new words. This method is widely used in schools. The second thing is to make it as a rule – learning 5-7 new words every day and watching movies in foreign language. This method is extremely effective, especially if you would like to advance your knowledge. And the last one, but not the least one is to plunge onto the language atmosphere. It is a well-known fact that if a person lives approximately 3-4 months in the native speakers’ atmosphere then his language knowledge improves dramatically. To sum up, I should mention that it is always better to combine all these methodics in order to gain the wanted result. It may be taking a course at a tutor, reading books or visiting thematic feasts.
 * Key factors in foreign language learning**

= **Sport** **could be extremely dangerous for health** = = **By Valeria Solodka, group 11** =

It is well-known that regular physical trainings commonly associated with sport are essential condition of good fit, sound health and vitality. Though sport is rather health-some and it is obvious that we should do it as often as possible, an intensive and careless exercising could be dangerous for health. I don't take into account that kinds of sport that don't involve active physical training. The main perils of sport loads show themselves in professional physical exertions, in usage of dopes and additives for better results and in risk of injure. Supporters of sport claim that only regular and persistent trainings may bring visible results. This means that the more intensive exercising one has the greater stock of health he will cumulate. Although to a certain extent, they are right, but everyone has his norm and if he overstrains himself it becomes dangerous and can even cause muscle aches and sprain. For example, the average norm of physical activity for adults equals from half an hour to one hour 3-7 times a week. The contradictory argument is that intensive training in professional sport supposes constant hard destructive loads on the body and heart of sportsman. For example, due to medical theory of G. F. Lang excessive sport straining causes pathologic changes of the heart, tissue damages and violate homeostatic balance of the organism that potentially effect on premature aging of the body. It often happens with football players, weight-lifters, hockey-players and so on. In addition, in order to have better results in competitions sportsmen often accept dopes and drugs that harm their health and destroy their professional career. Moreover, not only professional sportsmen are taking dopes but it is also widespread in fitness centers to take hormonal and steroid additives in an effort to build up a muscle mass. As the result, they get dangerous diseases and it can even lead to a death. What is more doping application is closely connected with sport commercialization. Statistics stresses the burning character of this problem in recent years. Due to International Olympic Committee report, 80% of sportsmen will accept drug in USA if it helps them to become Olympic champions. International statistics indicates the 90%-usage of dopes in bodybuilding, which has the highest level among other kinds of sport. The next are cycling, swimming, ski racing, weight-lifting, and track and field athletics. It could also be injurious to exercise without instructor. One may overstrain and injure his muscles or jeopardize his life in some extreme situations while one is engaged in sports activities. Some people even became cripples after traumas during trainings and competitions. For instance, according to injury evaluation the most dangerous is box, it has 158,1 traumas on 1000 people. The second and the third the most hazardous kind of sport are wrestling and equestrian sport. Their traumatic indexes equal 103 and 101 points accordingly. Furthermore, serious physical loads are also forbidden for people that have some medical contra-indications, such as: all acute and chronic illness//es////,// // neuropsychic, medical, infectious, surgical, acute dental, and dermal diseases. //This generally implies that sport exercising with this deviations can lead to disease recurrence, to getting injured and to infliction of harm to own and others health. Having discussed this, the one should become more considerate in sport exercising. It means that even if sport is rather wholesome for health, it can become hazardous when there are too intensive sport loads. Usage of dopes and drugs for better sport results, non-observance of safety requirements in sport and ignorance of medical instructions increase dangers in sport activities.

** Ukraine Should Become a Member of the European Union ** In order to reach feather economical development Ukraine should certainly join the European Union. Undoubtedly it would be questioned what consequences such economical and political integration will cause: totally positive or partly negative. In that case a discussion emerged on both governmental and social levels.
 * Anastasia Mysyuk, Group #11 **

All the evidence suggests that the European Union membership will certainly approximate the level of national economical development to the European developed countries level standards. So, our economy is supposed to grow, markets to expand and GDP (Gross Domestic Product) to increase. Besides, it is believed to be a chance for Ukraine to improve the quality of life, to increase people`s welfare, to use innovative technologies and goods that Europe already constantly and widely uses, to get investment and to produce innovative kinds of goods within national productive capacity. These effects are even more apprehensible within the society than the previous ones. Opponents of this point of view provide one main argument against joining the European Union: our firms are not able to win the competitiveness resistance with European market firms in case we fully open our borders for foreign interruption and create common trading market for goods and services. It is often claimed that such situation will certainly cause an increase of unemployment. But experienced economists will argue since unemployment can increase only in the short run period, but in the long run period a bigger amount of free job positions will be created as far as the market develops and economical situation improves due to the membership.

To sum up, one can certainly name some short-run negative effects of the European Union membership for Ukraine. At the same time, it is generally agreed that joining will cause long-run positive effect on both national economy and social life. So, the advantages for Ukraine in case of joining the European Union are far more appreciable and certainly more numerable than the threats. ** Ulyana Kormylets A11 ** ** Benefits to attending a single-sex school ** Many generations were fighting for the equality of the sexes. As a result a lot of social barriers to women's equality with men have been removed. Considering this, coeducation seems like the right way to go. Most private and public schools practice coeducational model. On the other hand, research shows that girl’s and boy’s studying process is different. According to this, coeducation will not work well for every child. Recently public schools have begun to experiment with single sex classes, and, in some cases, single sex schools. Supporters of coeducational schools believed that coeducation would solve some gender problems. However that didn't always work. The proponents of single sex education argue that boys in coeducational settings are less likely to take courses in the arts or music simply to avoid being a nerd. Similarly girls avoid the sciences and technology subjects because they don't want to appear to be tomboys. There is one good thing about single-sex school – boys and girls do not compare themselves to others. They have a chance to express themselves by choosing a subject they really like. Some people may still maintain that communication with opposite sex is important to socialize a child. On the other hand, there is always a competition between boys who are trying to catch special girl’s attention. Pupils lose their concentration on studying trying to be notices by a person of the opposite sex. Moreover, there appear conflict situation. Single-sex school keeps a child focused on the studying. He or she learns much about himself or herself. Their process of getting adult goes as fast as it should. It is time to connect with other pupils to develop strong friendships, and to learn the value of confidence, leadership and intelligence. Opponents of the single-sex schools also claim that studying process in a group of both girls and boys is good to develop students’ communication skills. They consider that being among girls and boy a student has an opportunity to flex his way of thinking. However, in single-sex schools teachers can adopt their classes to their student. It is known that girl’s and boy’s brain is different. So the way of thinking is also deferent. For example, boys are pragmatic and girls think very detailed. Unlike girls, boys do not like reading. In a single-sex school for only boys teachers adopt literature classes to boys’ interests, which allows them to enjoy the subject. Having said these, resistance to a single-sex school would be quite illogical. Single-sex schools helps students to express themselves, let them be who they are. What is more, single-sex school keeps a child focused on study and develops strong friendships, confidence, leadership and intelligence. And finally, single-sex school adopts its educational system to a specific boy’s and girl’s mind. It is definitely high time to choose a single-sex school to bring an individual person to this world!

**Ilchenko Svitlana ** **The Electronic Book is Extremely Positive Technical Breakthrough of the Recent Years ** Electronic book or shortly ebook is a technical device designed for storage and reading electronic versions of books, magazines and other paper issues converted into different text formats. Although text issues are the main objects for ebook it is possible to download photo images or music as well as audio-books. Being invented four decades ago by Michael Hart, specifically, in 1971, it has transformed into modern, stylish, and convenient gadget and spread vastly around the world, including Ukraine. The target audience of the ebook varies from teenagers across students to mature professionals, and nowadays only retired persons have remained uninvolved into this general ebook enthusiasm. This paper argues that ebook, despite some criticism, benefits different spheres of social and personal life.

Considering strong ecological problems of modern civilization, we can not neglect even the tiniest opportunity to maintain the environment. From this point of view ebooks have become the first real alternative to a ruthless annihilation of forests all over the world. One ebook might hold thousands of “paper books” and thus millions of paper pages. It is easy to count and persuade the advantages of ebook. Only if one is going to live on a gray dead planet, it is possible to prolong human irresponsibility.

Besides the appeals to ecological consciousness, ebook has become a perfect solution for those reading-allies and scientists who can not afford to buy all the literature they need in studies, research of just for pleasure. It could seem extraordinary, but people who love reading still exist. Ebooks are less expensive and, as everyone knows, it is possible to find huge amount of books in the Internet (we now do not consider the problem of copyright). Beyond that, from my own experience I know how difficult could be moving if one have a large library. I have moved to Kyiv in September but I still can not bring all my paper books from my previous city.

Finally, even contradictors of ebooks can not avoid reading from the screen. In this sense the technology of e-ink, namely electronic ink, helps to solve sight problems and remain healthy eyes.

In spite of all evident benefits of ebook promoting by ebook zealots, it is hard to confront one argument of ebook enemies. This is an absence of so called “spirit of book”, which means the combination of such peculiarities as smell of the typography ink, special paper formation, cover design and illustrations. But the fear of this type, as Hugo wrote, “This will kill that”, is not a novelty. Technical progress will provide ebooks with possibilities of unique design for each unit. After all, contemporary intellectuals, for instance Umberto Eco, express the notion that paper book will stay alive as well as ebook, they will not confront, because people will imply them in different spheres.

In conclusion, we would like to admit that ebook not only spreads fastly, but also develops and becomes more rich and variable in design and functions. Ebook is not a useless vagary, but an irreplaceable thing in a life of modern city dweller. The main benefits of this device, such as correspondence to the ecological responsibility, convenience in everyday life and in journey, sight-friendly position of this breakthrough have transformed it into useful and positive object in human life.

Bad Influence of Fame

All people can imagine how it is to be famous and what it gives, but only those who are famous can inform about real influence of fame. Despite its advantages, fame can have bad influence on the people.

First of all, fame changes people. They start to follow fashion, pay much more attention to their appearance, life, because it’s being written constantly about them in newspapers and magazines. On the other hand, and it is the main disadvantage, fame makes people more free and they can do what they desire, because they obtain much money. For example, celebrities very often consume alcohol, drugs and it influences their career. Moreover, their health can be damaged and it can cause death. Fame also changes character: people become conceited, demand more attention to them, can do bad actions, because they think they are allowed more than others and will not be punished. As it was stated by G. Adams: “Power and fame are sorts of tumor that grows and kills its victim’s feelings.” That is why a great number of modern famous people are involved in different scandals and offenses.

Besides, fame influences private life of people. Though celebrities are public people, it is difficult to sustain constantattention frompress andfans. Therefore they try to be unrecognizable in the streets, in shops and other public places. Fame can also destroy personal life or deprive it at all when, for example, a spouse of a famous person sacrifices his career for the sake ofthis celebrity and can not be developed in his or her profession. As a result family is destroyed and a celebrity is lonely.

Finally, fame can deprive of real friends. Celebrities can refuse fromold friends and not make new ones. If even famous people discover new friends, these friends will not be sincere. Only money or amicability of a celebrity can be required from famous people. In other words, people will expectthe benefits fromfriendshipwitha celebrityand will bejealous. Goethe said: “People recognize only those who are useful,” it is often related to celebrities who choose beneficial friends.

In conclusion, it is important to emphasize that fame has not only advantages but also disadvantages such as bad influence on celebrities, their private life and usually absence of real friends. There are other disadvantagesof famebut these are themost important, they can confirm the words of Victor Hugo: “Fame is glory, changed to coppers.”

Burned leaves

In autumn streets of every city are covered with tons of fallen leaves. This situation is a great fun for children, but a challenge for community services. Quite often scavenging of leaves leads to it’s burning. Despite the fact that burning of leaves is the fastest, easiest and cheapest way of solving problem of leaf litter, this method has its own grave disadvantages. At first burning of leaves makes damage to the environment. Such “way of cleaning” ruins an upper layer of soil, decreases its fertility, kills all seeds and microorganisms in it. Also this process increases a level of fire hazard. Besides fallen leaves should protect roots of trees and an underbrush around them from frostbite. Lack of the leaf litter causes deceleration of process of plants’ growing or even its dying. As a result burning of leaves leads to gradual impoverishment of soil and flora. Secondly burning of leaves makes damage to the people’s health. During a process of leaves’ burning a dust, nitrogen oxide, carbon dioxide, benzopren, heavy metals, dioxins are excreted into the air. All of these chemical agents are harmful for organism. In addition tiny pieces of combustion products get into the air and people’s lungs too. Gathering into the lungs these products may lead to different diseases like asthma, asphyxia, lung cancer. This means that a process of leaves burning inflict damage both on nature and human health. Thirdly burning of leaves is forbidden by Ukrainian law. The laws “About protection of atmospheric air”, and “About environmental protection”, and “About plantage” bans burning of leaves without a permission from state organs of monitoring. A breach of these laws may cost an administrative penalty in amount from 340 to 1700 grivnas. So burning of leaves makes a person to be a lawbreaker. Consequently burning of leaves is unnatural way of scavenging. There are more wholesome and profitable methods of using fallen leaves. For example it is composting. It is not only safe but also a good way of soil improvement. Also composting defends both people’s health and money. Although it takes a lot of time and efforts but it’s a really progressive possibility of rational solving of problem of fallen leaves.

**Tanya Kosmina ** **Group 4 ** **Girls should not ask boys out **  Life is changeable. There is not only technical progress. Every year we observe how priorities and values of people change. For some reason many qualities, traits are being depreciated. There is a tendency to make some deeds common in spite of some years ago they were inadmissible. For example, boys forget about their duties, destination and shift them onto girls who begin to ask boys out. But they should not do this. Girls should not ask boys out.  Modern girls are braver and more confident than modern boys. Many of them choose men’s professions and do their work better, but it does not mean that women exchange for places with men and became the sterner sex. Women are fragile by their nature, they need to be weak sometimes and to feel men’s initiative, support and strong shoulders.  According to the statistics, there are less boys than girls in the world, so boys become arrogant. But almost everyone wants to be a conqueror, not a captive of girls. Intelligent boys know, the girl that has a self-respect will not emote. She will be waiting for that boy who are worthy of her and will prove this fact by his deeds. Samuel Johnson wrote, “Pride is seldom delicate; it will please itself with very mean advantages.” Girls shoud be proud, and boys will notice and evaluate this.  Fear of the loneliness often provokes girls that do not want to wait for the prince and to remain alone to ask boys out. But such girls do not arouse interes, because boys understand that they do not need to make any efforts, to court gracefully to win these girls. This realization makes boys passive, but they are males, and it is their nature. Girls should not disable this destination of men by excessive initiative. <span style="font-family: 'Georgia','serif'; font-size: 18.6667px;"> In conclusion it should be said that it does not matter what centure is now. There are eternal verities and statements that can not be changed, because this process can break moral standarts of the society. That is why girls should not ask boys out.
