Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

    I have seen a wonderful film called Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End million times. This trilogy is my favourite. At World's End is the third film in the series. It's an adventure film, starring Johnny Depp, Keira Knighteley, Orlando Bloom and other talented actors.

    The screenplay is incredible. Captain Barbossa, Elizabeth Swan and her fiance  Will Turner are going to save Captain Jack Sparrow from Davy Jones's Locker. They face a lot of difficulties made by their enemies like Lord Beckett owner of the East India Trading Company and Davy Jones (Bill Nighy)  who is in Lord's Beckett's control. It's not a typical film with estimated plot. So you can't assume what is going to be in the next scene. This film is permeated with mysteries, secrets, lies and cheating.

     Johnny Depp has the main part. His acting is amazing. I can't even describe how talented he is. In my opinion he approached the role of saucy pirate who lies, cheats, fights just perfect.
    We can't say that he is a hero who has only good qualities and ready to sacrifice himself for other people or in the name of good. No! It's a part of Will Turner. Bloom presents such hero who wants to save his dad, but also he understands that he can lose his love.   

    And Captain Jack Sparrow at first thinks about his own benefit, but eventually he shows us a great nobility, and the ability to put people's interests above his own. Besides Johnny Depp, I liked Keira Knightley, Naomie Harris (Tia Dalma) and Geoffey Rush (Captain Barbossa).
    Also I'd like to pay attention that the special effects were unbelievably amazing. Especially the final battle. I can't but mention two great ships The Black Pearl and The Flying Dutchman, and terrifying face of Davy Jones and all his subordinates. By the way Depp's stunts and fights as Knightley's and Bloom's fencing are breathtaking.

      In spite of the opinion that the second part was a bit better, this film is full of action and really exciting. Johnny Depp's acting makes this film not so serious and brings positive moments and humor in it.
    I really enjoyed it and recommend to watch. 

Illnesses and Their Treatment.

     It is known that heath is very important and necessary thing for everybody. We should remember that health is not only the absence of illnesses but it is physical, social and mental welfare. It influences not only our physical state but mood, our relations with people. When person is healthy he is opened for society, he is full of forces, he can do everything. But unfortunately nowadays to be healthy is very difficult because there are a lot of viruses around us.
   There are a lot of diseases nowadays. One kind of them is light indisposition. They are a headache, stomachache, nausea, slight cough, chill. These diseases are accompanied by a weakness, a breach of capacity for work, sleepiness. There are also infectious diseases. They are evoked by bacteria, viruses which surround us everywhere. There are infectious diseases which people have at once, such as chicken pox, and diseases which can influence people several times, like flue, diphtheria, dysentery, quinsy, cholera, typhoid fever.
    By the way, I can't but mention such serious and horrible diseases as cancer and AIDS. I should tell that 50 years ago the number of people suffering from these diseases were less than now. But fortunately there are a lot of specialists in modern medicine who can help us in case of need.
    Also I'd like to say that nowadays every second person suffers from headache, allergy, bronchitis, rheumatism. Besides, incidence of heart attack has increased lately. Air pollution and very bad ecology situation in the world caused the appearance of new diseases and other health problems.
    Not only our ecology should be blamed. The problem of obesity rises up today. One of the reasons causes this problem is eating  harmful, high-calorie food. Whom should we blame now? I guess - only ourselves. But there was one situation in 2002 when several obese teenagers in the USA sued McDonald's claiming that the company was responsible for making them fat and had not warned about health problems that can result from eating hight-fat food: diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity. But McDonald's rejected the claim that they were responsible for teenager's health problems. And in my opinion it's right because everybody knows about how harmful and unhealthy McDonald's food are. And if people choose to eat a lot of that food, they can't blame the company for their health problems. As an evidence that McDonald's food is harmful Morgan Spurlock made a film "Super Size Me" in 2004. It is a documentary film based on his own experiment to eat only fast food three times a day, every day, for thirty days. This experiment ended with different health problems and overweight. It took Spurlock 15 months to recover from it and return his original weight.
      So it is clear that we should care about our health, we should visit a doctor regularly and lead a healthy lifestyle. I wish you to be healthy.

Meals

      Well, as I have never been abroad so I'd like to tell about our native food and dishes.  Since old time Ukrainian national cooking has been famous for great variety of tasty and useful dishes. Lets begin with the fact that usually we eat three times a day. Of cause somebody may prefer British traditions and have a five o'clock tea, but I base on my experience. Usually we start our day with breakfast. In various families it may be eaten in different time, I mean 7 or 8  o'clock in the morning. And breakfast consists of tea, coffee or milk, may be some boiled or fried eggs, porridge, sandviches, bread, butter and fruits. Somebody avoids breakfast at all. As a matter of fact I used to do it myself, but my grandma always says: "Breakfast is the main deal of a day!" So usually I have a cup of tea, boiled eggs, bread and butter. Those who are on a diet only drink yoghurt for breakfast.
   
     Then we have lunch nearly 1 p.m. Well to be honest sometimes I don't have time for it and can eat something at the cafe or buy some croissants or biscuit at the shop. But lunch must be substantial and include meat, vegetables, fish etc. The best lunch consists of three dishes. Soup, potatoes, rice, beef, pork, veal, fish and poultry - you can choose what ever you want. Soups are very popular in Ukraine. And you can find a lot of them in Ukrainian cuisine. The most popular of them are yushka, (fish soup), chicken broth, noodle soup, pea soup, mushroom soup and milk soup. All of them are very tasty. But I prefer Ukrainian borshch. It has up to 20 components (potato, tomato, carrot, parsley, cabbage, onion,meat etc).Also there are a lot of dishes cooked from flour like varenyks, pancakes, halushkas and different kinds of pies. After that it's better to drink a cup of tea or juice. Of cause some people may prefer restaurant cuisine, but in my opinion home food much more delicious and healthy.
     Dinner time comes nearly 7 o'clock in the evening. Usually the whole family is gathered. Well, I prefer some salad for dinner. But my father, for example, likes some chicken or chops with mashed potatoes.
     By the way, nowadays, fast food is very popular all over the world. But, as a matter of fact, it does not have such popularity in Ukraine as Ukrainian women prefer to cook at home. And it's great as the problem of obesity occupies an important place today.
   
     
     

Ideal upbringing and my idea of a happy childhood.

  Upbringing affects identity formation, creating prosperous conditions for mental, physical and social person development. It's very important period of time in child's life, but some parents do not understand it and do not pay much attention on it. Modern parents prefer making their career instead of rising children. Very often babysitting or grandparents implements parents role. And it's one of the main problems of todays society when adults do not care about their children!
   Parents should spend more time with their children otherwise they begin to move away from each other. Sometimes the child do not trust his or her parents and prefer to believe strangers so it may cause different problems in the future. And very often children replace adult's love by computer games or television. They want to fill that emptiness which appears when parents can't find common language or don't talk at all with the child.
     Every child needs to know that somebody loves his or her and always can give a hand in difficult situations, encouraged and understand. I mean that some parents condemn certain proceeds of their children. They even do not want to understand the cause of such behavior and punish them. In my opinion, it is wrong way of upbringing.
    In a conclusion I'd like to mention that for me, ideal upbringing is when the child spends more time with both parents and the last ones don't fight and quarrel. As it  affects child's mental health. Ideal upbringing  is when all family  gather for some vacations, travel, help each other in different situations and support each other. 

Difficulties Awaiting Young Teachers

   Teaching is very hard and responsible profession. It requires good knowledges, great professionalism, courage and of cause desire to help young people to choose right way in their lives. But, I'd like to mention, that it's not well paid job. That's why you have to love it and work not because of money, but because of understanding the fact that teacher can influence students thoughts, can give such lessons which will help them in their further live.
    Of cause it's not very easy to start teaching. First of all one faces different problems including great fear speak to students. But, in my opinion, the main  obstacle is to find common language with students. They are often more critical of young teachers than of teachers who have had experience, and have established reputations as being able to teach and to govern. They are looking for signs of weakness. Fortunate is the young teacher who can stand this test. It's very important to show students that you are their friend not an enemy, like some of them perceive all teachers. Good teacher must teach young people to think, to have their own opinion about different situations and to find way out from various difficulties.
   So I guess the main problem awaiting young teacher, besides the salary, is finding contact with students. Learn them, their hobbies, life positions. Teacher must understand that his aim is not only to tell the theme of the lesson like the book says, but try to teach students to listen, to estimate, analyze and systematize given knowledges. I suppose that the secret of good teaching is in finding common language and an approach to each student.
