Healthy and unhealthy lifestyle Nowadays a lot of people have health problems because they live unhealthily.

They work a lot because they need money, they dont relax enough . As they havent got time they often eat in fast food restaurant or at home they eat only semi-prepared food. These foods are full of sugar and fat but they dont contain vitamins and minerals. Modern people typically spend their free time with watching tv, surfing on the internet and the rarely do sports or walk. Besides most people have bad habits such as smoking, drinking alcohol, drinking coffee or even using drugs. These bad habits can cause a lot of illnesses for example heart attack, high blood pressure, cancer, brain stroke and so on. Unfortunately our world is quite polluted, we use a lot of chemicals so we drink,eat and breath many poisoning materials. That is why many people have allergy. If you want to be healthy and keep fit you have to avoid bad habits and you have to spend some time with recreation. You should do some sports: swimming, running, walking and so on. You have to eat a lot of fresh meals with vitamins and minerals. Fortunately I am rarely ill, I sometimes catch cold in winter. Then I have running nose, sore throat, I sneeze and I have headache , temperature. I usually try to cure myself at home : I relax, drink hot tea with lemon and take some vitamins. If these things dont help I go to the doctor who examines me and prescribes medicine. I buy the medicine at the chemists and I stay in bed until I recover. Anyway I think I live in healthy way because I rarely eat in fast food restaurant, I dont smoke and never use drugs. I usually do some sports with my friends, we play tennis or basketball or in summer we go swimming.

Eating out People usually go eating out on special occasions or when they have guests. We sometimes celebrate birthdays, namedays or wedding anniversaries in an elegant restaurants. But in a city people have a wide choice of restaurants where they can go and have something to eat and drink: beside elegant restaurants there are fast food restaurants, self-service restaurants, pizzerias, cafes, pubs, sandwich bars and there are more and more national restaurants like Chinese, Greek, Italian restaurants and so on. Some people prefer going to an elegant restaurant where they are served by waiters or waitresses and they can enjoy the quiet and pleasant atmosphere. The place is usually clean and the food is excellent. There are nice tablecloths, candles and flowers on the tables. The waiters are polite and helpful. The disadvantages of an elegant restaurant are that the prices are quite high and you have to wait for your meal. At the end of the meal you are also expected to give a tip to the waiter . When you enter the restaurant the headwaiter shows you to a free table. Some people reserve a table in advance especially for the weekend in a popular restaurant in the city centre. Then the waiter gives you the menu, you choose the dishes and the drinks and give the order to the waiter. Sometimes the waiter also recommends you the restaurants speciality. After the meal you get the bill. If you are satisfied with the meal and the service, you give the waiter a tip, which is usually 10 per cent of the cost of the meal. People go to a fast food restaurant if they are short of time or they have no money for a meal in an elegant restaurant. The advantages are that they are relatively cheap and you can have a meal in ten minutes if you like. There are no waiters or waitresses and you do not have to give a tip. These places are rather crowded and noisy. The food is always tasty, but not very healthy. Fast food is usually junk food. It does not contain all the necessary nutrients, protein, vitamins, minerals that are essential for your body. So if you eat too much fast food, you may become overweight in a short time. When you enter the fast food restaurant, you go to the counter. Above the counter you can see the choice of dishes they offer that day. You choose your dish and the girl or the boy behind the counter puts it on a tray and you have to pay for it at once. The service is quick and polite. You can always see a happy smile on their faces. You find an empty table, sit down and eat your dish. After that you throw the dirty paper or plastic plates, cups and cutlery into the dustbin, put the tray on a shelf next to it and leave the place.

Environment problems In our modern world we have to face with a lot of environment problems as the population of the Earth is growing all the time. The biggest problems are global warming, water and land-pollution, rubbish and waste problem. The consequences of the global warming are the changing climate and rising temperature. The polar ice can melt and it can rise sealevel and can cause floods all over the world. In the middle part of the globe the rising temperature causes droughts and there can be new deserts. The four seasons can disappear and we will have only summer and winter. The reason of these processes is air pollution. Unfortunately we use too much oil and coal ( they are non-renewable energy sources) so cars, airplanes exhaust poisoning gases into the atmosphere and warm air cant leave the atmosphere. Factories dont use environment-friendly technologies and filters. Of course there are many ways for reduction of air pollution for example we should prefer public transport instead of cars or ride a bike and walk. In industry we should use environment friendly technologies. We should prefer renewable energy sources (solar, wind and water energy, biogases) because we cant run out of them. Water and land-pollution are very serious problems because drinking water is in danger. A lot of animals die in rivers and lakes and many people suffer from allergy and other diseases. These problems are caused by chemicals that industry, agriculture and households use every day. We should replace these chemicals with natural materials and we should clean the water. Modern civilization produces a lot of rubbish because there is overproduction and people use too much wrapping material. Many people are careless and throw rubbish in the streets and in the nature. We cant put rubbish anywhere so we should collect rubbish selectively. It means that we separate different materials that is paper, glass, plastic and metal. If we select them we can recycle and get new raw materials .There is some hazardous waste (batteries, electric gadgets and nuclear waste) that needs special attention. At home we can save a lot of energy if we switch off the computer, tv when we do not use them. we should not use more water than we need. My school

I go to Bocskai Istvn Secondary Grammar School in Hajdbszrmny. There are about seven hundred students . This school is in the main square in the city centre. It is a nice yellow two-storey building that was built in 1865 in romantic style. But our school was founded much earlier in 1621. We have got about 30 classrooms, a library with a language lab, 3 computer rooms and some special classrooms ( chemistry, geography, music, biology). Behind the school there is a nice garden, some sport grounds and a small gym. In several classrooms we can use interactive boards and internet. There are different forms of education in our school : four-year and eight-year secondary education, five-year education with preparatory year in English or German. Students can learn information technology after final exam or they can go to evening classes if they work. There are classes specialised in maths, history, IT and languages. We can learn English, German, French, Latin and Russian languages. Our school has two twin-schools in Germany and in Poland and students travel to these schools every year . Polish and German students usually come to our town in September and we make a lot of programmes for them. We have another programme called Opening Doors where students can learn business English and business skills. Both programmes are very popular among students. We have special events during the school year . In September we organize New Students Competition where first year students have to do funny tasks. In November we have School Leavers Ball where students perform special dances and have a big party. Before spring holiday we make Bocskai Days with a lot of sport, cultural and funny programmes. Of course we always commemorate national holidays together. There are some facilities to do sports after lessons or watch a film, in our studio we can even make films.

Jobs There are a lot of different jobs in the world. There are white- collar jobs and blue-collar jobs. If you want to do a white-collar or intellectual work you need at least final exam or a degree. These jobs are : doctor, lawyer, economist, teacher, businessman and so on. Many of these jobs are well-paid and because of this they are popular among young people. Unfortunately nowadays it is not easy to choose a profession as there arent enough workplaces in Hungary in any area. On the other hand beside the degree you have to speak languages , you have to be able to use the computer very well. If you go to university you have to pay tuition fee and other expenses are rather high so fewer students can get a degree. You can find a job at a multinational company, in the state sector or you can be self-employed and make your own business. If you work in public offices you work fixed time(8 hours) but your salary is not very high. If you work for a big company you have to work very hard sometimes flexitime that means 10 or 12 hours and weekend work as well. Of course you can earn good money but you cannot enjoy it as you havent got free time. If you are self-employed you can share your time between job and family but you have to work very hard every day to live on. If you have a blue-collar job you dont need a degree, they need only secondary qualification. These jobs are: cleaner, hairdresser, waiter, cook, bricklayer, gardener and so on. These jobs mean physical work so they are not very popular. I would like to go to university after secondary school because I want to be a .. I think this is a good profession and I like In the future I would like a creative and interesting work with a good salary. My parents job
