Dear Mr Ivanov,

    

I am writing with regard to your request to find two appropriate candidates for a job out of six. Having accomplished this aim successfully I wish to explain you my choice.

    First of all, it seems to be right to describe two favorites who stroke me as really intelligent and ambitious people. Mr Sobov, for instance, is sufficiently determined and self-assured person knowing what he wants and knowing how to achieve his goals. He looks as a broad-minded liberal man with the modern outlook.

    Mr Sobov can make a great team together with Ms Gnatkevich supplementing her traits. She is an even-tempered perfectionist; she always tries to do her best. I guess, she was top of the class in the childhood and transferred this status to the adult life. So working with Ms Gnatkevich, quick off the mark assertive lady, our company will go from strength to strength.

    Unfortunately, I should give the characteristics of four other candidates as well who came to light as inappropriate awkward people, but nowise do I want to deceive you. Initially, I was sceptical about Mr Kravchuk because of his bizarre and childish manners. He changed his behaviour during the interview at least three times being then a cold fish, then a friendly and chatty schoolboy, then aggressive growling as a dog. It was so odd that even scared me!

     Less peculiar candidate was Mr Gnapovskii who impressed me with his naive look. He was so frightened that his voice trembled and shaking hands were crossed on the chest. I was touched and felt sorry for refusing him unlike Ms Petrova, pretentious and conceited young lady. She left a negative impression on me behaving in a ruthless and pushy way, talking too loud and trying to attract attention of the staff.

     The last candidate was Mr Shuhov. This man looked very diffident and perplexed, was unable to understand my questions and answer the simplest ones. Moreover he left his resume at home and in this manner showed a conclusive proof that he is irresponsible and awkward.

     Summing up, I wish to say that two new employees are really good at their fields and they will show exceptional results in the future, and there is no need to regret about four unfortunate ones.

     Yours sincerely

     Olexii Kravchuk

relationships...

What are secrets to a successful romantic relationship?

    Evidently, everyone fancy having healthy relationship with the person of the opposite sex. However, does anybody know how to accomplish such a secret aim? Of course, psychologists believe they have an appropriate answer.

    They strongly recommend always respect each other not looking down on your partner, accept his or her nature as it is, be brave to undergo any ups and downs together. Being dignified is very important as well because things aren’t good at all times that means there are situations when one has to capitulate to another’s opinion or wish. Also it shouldn’t be forgotten that real love and passion make relationship romantic indeed.

What are secrets to a successful relationship between parents and children?

    Building a positive relationship between parents and children is a tough work requiring a lot of efforts to succeed. Initially, some family rules should be laid down to make situation at home more controllable. Kids have to look up to the adults and trust them while parents have to be a role model and make only positive impact on the posterity by their behavior. Style of the nurture also plays a part in the relations’ development since it influence children’s concept of respect,appreciation and good manners in general.

What are secrets to a successful relationship in college?    

Spending nearly five years in college it is viewed as the correct thing to establish appropriate relationship with groupmates and teachers. There is no doubt it isn’t an easy task to attain, but to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.

First of all, I believe, the courtesy is a guarantee of a successful relationship in the working group. Respect has to replace snobbism, tolerance has to supplant insolence. Also it would be great if students try to be on their best behavior while teachers show an exemplary one.

   Concerning the students’ correlation a peer pressure can be avoided working as a team with its own spirit and customs. Everyone should always do his or her fair share, support each other, forget about nagging and gossips, because working only as a friendly family can bring positive results and help to move upwards faster. 

Budapest

I want to spend my holiday in a very interesting way. I want to visit some historical city. For examle I would like to visit Budapest.
Budapest is a stunning city, and this flourishing and thriving capital of Hungary makes a romantic and vibrant city-break destination. A stroll through Budapest's cobbled streets is amazingly exciting: its architecture is remarkably diverse and wonderfully untouched by the World Wars, although the historical centre has recently underwent restoration. It's increadible to soak up the atmosphere of ancient history!
Budapest is amazing city for just going for a wander around it. This city retains a wonderful charm.

Travelling off  the beaten track is not for me. Lazing around on the golden sand beach or hiking on some trek don't bring me desired pleasure. Of course, sometimes I long for getting away from it all and camping in some remote and unspoilt areas. But more common way to recharge the batteries for me is to unwind in some great city, not neccessarily historical. I chose Budapest because it keeps some secret, it is not far from Ukraine and it combines historical and modern life, which is very interesting.
But wherever I go, I go with my friends because without them no holiday could be delightful.

You are only young once

    There are so many impermanent but resounding things in life that arise and vanish suddenly leaving only fascinating memories. They appear to endow our being with energy and inspiration, to liven it up and make us get carried away.

    One of them is a flamboyant and magic youth with its sleepless nights, raucous get-togethers, breathtaking achievements or pitiful downfalls. It’s the time of turning-points and unbelievable adventures when going back to square one is so straightforward and every making a go of anything seems just as the next warm-up of the life-party.

    There is no need to yearn for future trials; there is no will to bother about adult problems beforehand because we are only young once and lost springtime won’t come back.

Out of sight, out of mind

    You have a friend, a sweetheart, a good colleague. They’re so caring and cute, they are always behind you, but once you terminate socializing temporarily due to the plain motive as an assignment, travel or removing, and this pitiful “temporarily” turns into appalling “forever”.

   “Why does such thing happen?” – we raise the question in our minds, but don’t want to get a grasp of the real true. All these companionships were false and disposable, people we socialize with were superfluous, and the only thing we can do is making light of the situation. Of course, awareness of being forgotten as soon as the door is close hurts, but it isn’t the biggest misfortune of life. So to make a comeback easier kick back!

Love is blind

    Does anybody exactly know what love is? Is it a horrible insanity or God mercy? Is it a silly mistake or an impeccable chance to live better life? Humanity is out of its depth to give a pertinent answer in view of the proverb “so many men, so many minds”.

    Albeit one thing is concise and unconditional – love is blind. When you are fallen for somebody, passionate about man or woman of your desires all your innermost thoughts are occupied with the affectionate image and any other issues don’t exist. You aren’t able to expose his or her boners and defy all intrinsic defects accordingly that prompts you to overreact and be more vulnerable. 

Proverbs

Never judge a book by it's cover

I totally agree with this proverb. Very often we have misconceptions of something, because we focus on it's appearence and overlook it's content. Our misjudgments can cause different misunderstandings, misinformation and disadvantages. Our misbeliefs are our weaknesses. When we are ill-informed we can make unforgivable mistakes. It will be harmful not only for us but for others. Even the most relieble plan can misfire due to under-esteemating situation because of wrong impression. On the other hand we can overrate something and truth will be very painful for us.

Many hands make light work

My mother always says that two heads are better than one. I wont retell all her usefulunforgetable pieces of advice, but I was never ill-advised. The meaning of this proverb is a bit different, but I always associate them. The predominant idea is that it's easier to manage to do something with someone's help. Almost like in Communist ideology which came from Marxism-Leninism. But politics is far away from people's interactions. It's simply better to do something with a partner. And it's important not to overdo, because too many cooks spoil the broth. Somebodies help will be never depreciated, it can't be replaced, it can't be useless. We can do everything and reach outstanding productivity, but only with our friends' help.

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones

Very often some people say unpleasant things. And very often they should've reappraised them. Such sort of reconsideration can prevent lots of arguments and misunderstandings between people. Because it's unfair to criticise others if you have the same problems. It's immoral. Despite the fact that principles of morality are tought at school we can't observe reduction of examples of such behaviour. It's a classical situation when you are blamed for the fault which is not completely yours. What is the solution then? If only I knew...

Review of a Book

“The Time Traveler’s Wife” is a debut novel of American writer Audrey Niffenegger. It was published in 2003 and got a resounding success. After a number of straightforward and not really noticeable books made manually, Audrey took the bull by the horns and wrote a fascinating one whereby captivated the world’s attention.

    The main idea of the novel is love carried through the diverse dimensions of the life. It is embodied by two protagonists Clare and Henry who are so-called victims of the fate-joker and can’t help taking its play in their stride.

Henry has a weird genetic disorder thus it is his inherent feature to travel through time. Having begun at the age of six he is unable to terminate this process till the end. Every “trip” starts absolutely unexpectedly and Henry is out of his depth to confront it albeit tries to find pharmaceuticals to become an ordinary man. He cannot take anything into the future or the past and in a view of such circumstances attempts to use this uncontrolled involuntary transportation usefully.

    Regardless of such pitiful conditions of life God has mercy on Henry and gives him an affectionate and caring wife Clare. Due to the Henry’s travelling they are familiar since her childhood and afterwards get married, try to give a birth to a child and attempt to tackle Henry’s “illness”. Characters can’t be completely content with their living together, because permanent being on tenterhooks makes them feel vulnerable and apprehensive. Fed up with sheer uncertainty they don’t believe in the possibility to take the problem on the chin easily. However, Clare and Henry love, adore each other and are behind all along.

    When Henry is 43, by coincidence, he has his feet amputated and becomes chained to the wheelchair. Time trips are more hazardous as can cause a horrible incident. Once it happens. Henry is shot by Clare’s brother in the past, but the repercussion is current. Clare is devastated by husband’s death; she can’t go without him, so stays a loner during the life devoting herself to the yearning for Henry’s comeback.

    Such a macabre end, but emotions it evokes aren’t monosemantic. Author made me feel stunned, close to tears that is obvious due to the depicted events, but at the same time there is a sensation of unmitigated happiness that a real amour exists, and the visual example of this fact is Clare and Henry’s wedlock.

    I fancy recommending “The Time Traveler’s Wife” to anyone with an interest in unusual stories. It’s impeccable book so you won’t be able to put down!
