Books or computers - what is the better form of entertainment?

Computers belong to the greatest inventions of the 20th century. Since they were invented, they make our life much easier. Thanks to the computers we are able to communicate with our friends from the different parts of the world and we are given the great opportunity to educate, work and have fun. Today, some of us claim that computers are for them the only form of entertainment. Although computers have a huge impact on our life, there is still a tiny percentage of people who think that these machines couldn't ever replace good books, which are the best kind of entertainment.
Books appeared much earlier then the computers and we shouldn't forget about all these great writers, who for ages have been making our libraries full of wonderful, interesting and breathtaking stories. In my opinion, we shouldn't stop reading books, because it is the one way we could develop our imagination and vocabulary. By reading we can gain some information about world and history. It is not true that people stop reading. Many people, including myself and my friends, prefer reading to staring at a computer screen. For us it isn't funny to spend a lot of time in front of the computer and playing stupid computer games. It's nothing as a waste of worth time. Instead of computers I have my own way to enjoy myself. Every evening I spend with one of my favourite books. When I am reading, I don't care about anything. This form of spending time is for me the best one.
It is said that children whose parents used to read them in their childhood grow up to very intelligent people with richer vocabulary. What is more, their imagination seems to be more flexible and well-developed.
There is also a reasonable solution for these computer lovers, who couldn't imagine spending day without a computer. They can read books published in the Internet. In this way some authors try to make their books more available and connect a modern way of entertainment with the old one. They believe that this method will encourage more potential readers to read.
Books constitute a great part of our life. They have been present for many years and their pages contain a lot of history. Books are a very important source of information. I think that books are better form of entertainment than computers.

Why do people go on diet?

Nowadays people want to look healthy and slim. They think that it will help them in their career and private life. Especially woman try to lose their weight. They usually take slimming pills and go on exhausting diets. They do that because they want to be admired by men and they want to look like well-known actresses, models and TV announcers. But they have to remember that there are some extreme cases when diet leads to serious disorders and illnesses, for example bulimia and anorexia.
Of course there are some safe ways of losing your weight and looking good. First of all you have to limit proteins and fats, and you must remember to drink a lot, because if you don't, you will dewater your body. You should also remember about exercising because it speeds up metabolism and builds muscles. A good idea is to make a list of things you eat and to count calories.
But we have to also remember that there are a some people who go on diet because they want to feel better or they don't eat some kinds of food because of their convictions and religion. For example Jews don't eat pork, and vegetarians and vegans don't eat any kind of meat.

Learning foreign languages

Learning foreign languages can be very useful in our lives. People learn languages because they want to make contact with new people in foreign countries. They also want to be more self-confident when they are abroad. It is very important to know how to ask what direction you should go or simply where you are at the moment. Besides when you know foreign languages you can find out something new about customs and traditions of foreign countries.
People who know many languages expect to find a better job. And it is true, because there are a lot of professions where you simply have to know foreign languages. For example journalists and diplomats must know languages to be able to take part in conversations and to exchange point of view, or for example scientists, they should know foreign languages to follow the latest news in many fields of science.
Some people learn foreign languages because they are forced to do that if they want to pass their exams. But I must also say that there are a lot of people who do that because they like learning languages. They do that just for themselves and that is their hobby. They also learn languages because they want to read foreign books in original or to communicate throw the internet with their friends abroad.
I think that the most popular language is English. It is called "lingua franca". People use it to make deal all over the world and it is also the language of a pop-culture. Many singers think that it sounds better then their own languages.
I must say that if we want to understand a modern world we should learn foreign languages, especially English.

Friendship

Everybody needs a friend - person, who is very close for us, like a sister or a brother. That person can help us with our problems and said "If I were you I would...". we can depend on him or her and be sure that our secrets wouldn't come to light. But a friendship isn't only a play. We must take care on it- it's very important and we can't forget about it, because we can loose what we have had and hurt somebody's feelings. When we have a friend we can't only think about ourselves but about another person too. Otherwise we will seem to be selfish and nobody wont want to be friends with us. Another thing in friendship is that we can't become a friends with someone in a week time. It takes (I mean a good friendship)a lot of time too, because we must sacrifice it if we want get to know some person very well and know what we can expect of him or her. Nevertheless a person who has got a friend is very lucky person.

How to safe money?????

Do you think that you spend too much money in shops? If you think that you spend too much money, do you want to stop shopping? If you do not want to, you should read my tips. Remember that spending money is good if we control ourselves. I have some experience with saving money and I want to share it with you.
My first advice is to make a list of things that you want to buy before going to shop. You also should think how much money do you want to spend. In the shop you should buy only things which are on the list and do not spend more money that you planned. Do not go to other shops; go only to those where you can find the necessary things.
The second one is: do not look at the advertisement when you think of buying something. Advertisements try to make people buy things they do not need. They appeal to emotions in many ways, they try to make us think that we want to buy something. For example many shops present their articles in such a way that they seem more attractive then in reality. They use music, nice colours and nice looking displays to attract people.

The third advice: watch TV, read newspapers, search in the Internet. You may find the same articles that are in shops but cheaper. Look for discount sales and coupons. The savings may be small but when you sum them it turns out that you saved a lot of money. It is if you buy many such things.
The last advice is that you should not take a credit card with you. If you go to buy some food or other not very expensive things take only the amount of money that you will need. There will be no temptation to buy something unnecessary because you will not have money.
I hope that my advice will help you in saving money. I know that the temptation to spend more than you can is great but I believe that you can win with it. Happy saving!

My favourite restaurant

There is a nice polish restaurant close to my town which is called "pirate". I like going there very much. The restaurant is made of wood and it looks like an old inn. Inside everything is made of wood: chairs, tables, decorations. the people sit around big square tables. The tables are separated by wooden walls. I like this idea very much - it is very comfortable when you can eat, talk or do something else and the other people do not look at you all the time . The restaurant offer a great variety of food, from many countries but most of it is Polish. The prices are not too high. They play many different kinds of music but usually it is a polish folk music. It sounds nice, especially because of the style of the restaurant. I like this restaurant and I often go there with my friends if we have money.

My favourite sport

The sport I like the most is bicycling. It's a sport which you can practice alone or in a group. It gives you a sense of freedom, you can go anywhere. Bicycling is good for health and the body. The muscles develop when you ride a bike often. You can also lose weight and become slim. When you are stressed you can ride a bike for some time and it will help you. This is my favorite sport and I practice it a lot. During vacations I ride a bike every day. I do it also in other seasons of the year but during vacations I have much more free time.

How do you spend your free time?

There are many different things which you can do in your free time. Personally I don't have much free time; however, there always happen some free moments on the weekends. I don't do any especially exciting things then. Sometimes I simply lie on the sofa and watch TV. I like series movies, like "Friends". I must admit that I also watch soap operas to entertain. In my mind you cannot learn anything watching TV so I generally choose silly programs. On Fridays and Saturdays I usually meet my friends. I like visiting my friend Magda and spend whole afternoon and night at her home. From time to time we visit bars and discos. However, we do it rarely, as they are too expensive for us. I like going there anyway. In such places you have a chance to meet interesting people, dance or simply talk to your friends. Another thing that I like to do is to play computer games. I find it really funny. I think that if I had a free week, I might play these games constantly even for 12 hours. Most of my friends consider it strange and stupid, but for me it is really a great entertainment. It happens to me that I have completely no idea how to spend my free time, I simply lie in bed. I love sleeping. I am keep on being alone in my room, when there are no people around me and I have a chance to sleep till midday. I am looking forward for the vacations to come. I already made some plans. I am going to go to Poland for two weeks.

What is your favourite season of the year?

I would like to know what's your favourite seasons are and why. My favourite one is winter because I like cold weather and a low temperature. Maybe it may sound weird for some of you, but I have liked this season since I was a child and it doesn't seem to change. As I mentioned, I adore snow and frost. It doesn't disturb me that it is sometimes really cold. For me the more cold, the better. I don't like sun because I feel really bad when it is scorching hot weather or just more than 23 degrees. And when it is really cold, I feel fantastic and I'm full of energy.Is there any winter freak among you? Or am I alone with my season preferences? Please give your opinions with justifications.

5 dollar foot long.

The entire subway 5 dollar foot long campaign is a great one. Their campaign includes ad's with a "catchy" song that sticks in everybodies head. This allows people to always think about their deal and not only when they see an ad. Also their campaign of 5 dollars for a sandwhich is good. In this economy it is a great deal especialy for a large amount of food. The good thing about 5 dollars is that its small change so most people have it with them. Its also exact change which is good(no cents Ex: 89cents or 99cents). 5 dollars is just one paper bill. This entire campaign was targeted to a large crowd, making it sucha great campaign

Miami

got milk?

I think that “Got milk?” campaign was very effective. We can see in magazine milk mustache on celebrities. According to Got milk website, the slogan "got milk?" was licensed to the National Milk Processor Board in 1998 to use on their celebrity print ads, which since 1995, included celebrities from the fields of sports, media and entertainment, as well as fictional characters from TV and film such as The Simpsons and Batman, posing in print advertisements sporting a "milk moustache", employing the slogan, "Where's your mustache?". The campaign has been credited with greatly increasing milk sales nationwide after a 20-year slump

Food.

I really care about what I eat, even more because I have terrible allergies when I am not eating well enough, usually my body feels the necessity of some nutrients.I cook for myself everyday. I always put in my meals a little bit of everything: protein, carbohydrate, sugar, fiber and so on. Also, I always try to eat different things everyday. For breakfast I start eating cereal instead of bread, and a cup of coffee. For lunch I always try to eat vegetables and some protein. For dinner I have a very light meal. Sometimes yogurt, a fruit or salad. I love junk food, so it is very difficult to avoid those foods. Then, in between meals, I nipple a granola bar, fruit or nuts.I guess I haven't changed my eating habits. I still have lunch as my most important meal of the day. And I don't survive without breakfast. Although all the ingredients I use to cook my meals are American, hardily I use anything from my Country.

Internet relationships

I think internet is a very good place where you can find someone. Internet relationships has been going very common all over the world. I have seen so many people in my life who met on the internet and some of them get successful their relationship. But the other hand i don't like when people started romance on the internet without see each other. In my opinion, they should see each other first and then they might take a decision. Because internet relationship is not 100% successful.

Celebrities

A lot of companies pay huge money for " using" celebrities. Most of the cosmetic companies have started involve the famous faces of actresses like Drew Berrymore, Eva Langoria, Sara Jesica Parker or Jesica Alba instead of super models.It's working because a lot of women identify, look up to them and they want use at least the products they use, specially when they are affordable. Honestly I don't even think they use the staff they advertise. However, Tiger Wood is obligated to wear only Nike, when he signed a contract with them. In my opinion endorsing product may not work when companies use not the "right" person for it.
