What is more important in bringing up children to your mind?

As a parent you should understand your child better than anyone else. Children are the sort of person who always need somebody to take them out, to direct their actions and minds. I think, that parents have always been the most loving and the nearest people since your birth. Your 1st steps, 1st attempts to communicate, 1st experience in spelling words-all the important moments of your life-happen only thanks to your mother, who is always near you. Her heart fillf with joy when she sees your making progress in studying and achieving good results in your life. If the child mistakes mainly parents and school must help him, but sometimes they fall to do it. Family may be dangerous and harmful for him or her because of strict rules and a lot of punishment or on the contrary, because of praise.

To my opinion, many parents don`t know their children, their interests, their friends. I think, only a good parents can bring up a decent, normal members of our society.

35. Protection of nature is the prime importance nowadays. You discuss the problem with your friends. Focus yourself on the following points:

* lots of people are not ecologically conscious;

* modern industries are very often " hostile" to the natural environment;

* peopled active participation in ecological campaigns of different level;

* ecologically clean environment for our descendants.

If I were to talk on environmental protection with my friends I'd start with that fact that since ancient times nature has served to Man, being the source of his life. In order not to weal and deal I'd tell to support my opinion by the following facts: humans have been living on this planet for 2 million years and in the last 2 hundred years humans have made a mess of the planet, chopped trees, killed animals, polluted air, land, water, etc. The situation I'm talking on demands acknowledging such commonly spread truth that our Earth is our home. I mean people must take Care of our Motherland. Protection of nature is the prime importance nowadays. We have state organizations which pay attention to this important questions. Because we must return for our descendants ecologically clean enviroment. But there a lots of people aren't ecologically conscious. Our plants factories put their waste materials into the water and atmosphere ,polluting them. A lot of industrial enterprises are in our country. And they are very often "hostile" to die natural environment.The such problem as radiation is one of the global. It's not good for health of people. Many people died from radiation some years ago in Chernobyl.The other problem is an earthquake. Our scientists try to forecast earthquakes, then we can protect ourselves from them. So, people all over the world must be active participants in ecologicl competes of different levels. There are many kinds of such organizations, which control atmosphere and water pollution, to study the man's influence on the climite. The pollution ofthe environment influences on the life of people, on plants, level human life. If we don't use chemicals in a proper way we'll pollute our environment. If people all over the world do everything to protect their nature, they will make their country richer and their life happier.

 

Many people believe that women make better parents than men and that this is why they have the greater role in raising children in most societies. Others claim that men are just as good as women at parenting. Express your point of view. Give reasons for your answer.

The view that women are better parents than men has shown itself to be true throughout history. This is not to say that men are not of importance in child-rearing; indeed, they are most necessary if children are to appreciate fully the roles of both sexes. But women have proven themselves superior parents as a result of their conditioning, their less aggressive natures and their generally better communication skills. From the time they are little girls, females learn about nurturing. First with dolls and later perhaps with younger brothers and sisters, girls are given the role of carer. Girls see their mothers in the same roles and so it is natural that they identify this as a female activity. Boys, in contrast learn competitive roles far removed from what it means to nurture. While boys may dream of adventures, girls' conditioning means they tend to see the future in terms of raising families.

Girls also appear to be less aggressive than boys. In adulthood, it is men, not women, who prove to be the aggressors in crime and in war. Obviously, in raising children, a more patient, gentle manner is preferable to a more aggressive one. Although there certainly exist gentle men and aggressive women, by and large, females are less likely to resort to violence in attempting to solve problems. Finally, women tend to be better communicators than men. This is shown in intelligence tests, where females, on average, do better in verbal communication than males. Of course, communication is of utmost importance in rearing children, as children tend to learn from and adopt the communication styles of their parents. Thus, while it is all very well to suggest a greater role for men in raising children, let us not forget that women are generally better suited to the parenting role.
