I totally agree with the opinion that creative artists should not be restricted by government in any way. Artists need unlimited space, freedom and time for their work to thrive, otherwise society would never see the results of some of the greatest artists` work, which are part of our culture, heritage and history.

Restrictions can ruin the realisation of the whole artist’s idea, like a bird being in captivity would defenitely refuse to sing as beautifully as it did before, and this reluctance is not the act of stubborn creature, but the result of discouraging restrictions. Of course a true artist will find the way to create regardless of conditions or circumstances, but it won`t be pure art and the artist will be void of further development in terms of art.

If all kind of art were regulated by authorities we would never have been able to admire outstanding forms of architecture, paintings, works of literature, films etc.  Governments should give every possibility to artists to create and only observe the work in case of having to restrict the audience. I mean, some arts are too progressive to be shown to children or works may also demonstrate some kind of moral characteristics which might be considered unsuitable for society. Concerning this latter point, I believe private clubs for connoisseur or lay people themselves should be set up so as to decide what art is acceptable to them.

In order to preserve the natural development and purity of art  the artists should not be bothered by any limits government may set. And government in its turn should not stand in art`s way. In the end it is society arrives at a conclusion whether the art is worthy of appreciation.

I totally agree with the opinion that creative artists should not be restricted by government in any way. Artists need limitless space, freedom and time for their work to thrive, otherwise society would not ever see the results of greatest artists` work, which are the part of our culture and history.

Any restrictions ruin the realisation of the whole artists` idea, like a bird being in captivity would defenitely refuse to sing as beautifully as before, and this reluctance is not an act of stubborn creature, but a result of the discouraging restrictions. Of course a true artist will find the way to create under whichever conditions and circumstances are, but it won`t be a pure art and the artist is fettered to further development in terms of art.

If all kind of art were regulated by authorities we would have never admired an outstanding forms of architecture, paintings, work of literature, films etc.  Government should give any possibility to artists to create and only observe the work in case to restrict the audience. I mean, some arts are too early to be shown to children or works may also demonstrate some kind of ammorality which might be considered unhealthy for society. According to this assumption I believe there may be set up private clubs for connoisseur or people themselves decide what art is acceptable for them.

In order to preserve the natural development and purity of art  the artists should not be bothered by any limits government may set. And government in its turn should not be on art`s way. And in the end society makes a conclusion whether the art is worth appreciation.

Happiness is a feeling that can’t be defined or measured because it means different things to different people. While some people find happiness in relationships, others link it with success and wealth. Yet others think they can find gladness only through the spiritual path rather than through material ones.

Happiness is not unachievable but still there are people who fail to achieve it. They should identify their own interpretation of happiness and the first step is to understand what they want. Self-awareness is vital, it is easier to construct a little plan to achieve happiness rather than acting randomly in search of happiness.

Awareness of personal wishes and the willingness to do everything to fill life with satisfaction are some factors of happiness, whether it is about love relationships, business success, sports progress, the welfare of our families etc. The right life goals help us to understand what is important in life and what is not.

Of course, there are many other factors which influenсe people, among them are a peaceful environment, good  health, personal skills etc. But people can live happily even if there is a lack of any of those elements. A tiny instrument for achieving happiness is to be able to adapt to a given conditions.

I believe that the main factor which contributes more to our happiness is self-awareness. Without clear perspective it is hard to achieve any kind of happiness. And yet people have to understand that their happiness is a result of their own work and efforts and they shouldn`t expect someone else to make them happy.

The twenty first century has presented women with the  possibility  of having babies even in their fifties or sixties, by use of new fertilisation techniques. But this new reality has not found a certain response to all societies questions.  Now people have to decide whether it will be a long-term awaited solution for those women who cannot afford to have a child due to their health problems or will it be likely for a woman to carry out her duties, ones which appear after child birth.

Naturally, women find happiness in motherhood. For most, it is their purpose in life to be able to give birth to a child and an inability here causes them to suffer, feel useless and empty. Therefore a chance to regain the ability to have a child of course fascinates women of all ages. It is woman`s right to choose whether to be happy being a member of “a full family” or to be miserable because she is unable to give her love to a newborn.

Nevertheless it is a controversial issue: if a fifty-year-old woman is strong enough to take care of a youngster. Children require a lot of time, patience and activity. Upbringing is not an easy process and the capability to handle all this when a woman is fifty or sixty is unfortunately doubtful.

I strongly believe that it would be against nature to forbid such women fertilisation techniques  as long as one important requirement is met – a woman must be active, healthy enough and able to realise what a great responsibility she is taking on by using the new fertilisation techniques for the purpose of having a child at an advanced age.

Will be promoted next month. Will be promoted next month… When are they supposed to promote me, ha? It is almoust July and I haven`t seen the promotional documents being prepared yet!

Yesterday I set a mock IELTS for Saturday and even paid for this. So there is no backway. I expect to get 5 for each section. But will see what I`m currently capable of.

Today I had a big conversation with my bosses. They are worried about my further deal with the company as a longterm employee. So I was asked different questions in different ways about what my plans were and whether I was planning to work further for MTS or I`d rather move to Australia, like, tomorrow or next week.

I noticed that the workers in our department are almost forced to continue their carreer by the higher-ups. May be it could be understandable as it is hard to find and teach new workers, so it is needed at least 3 months to get a full-fledged worker. But sometimes it seems to me that you could come to work naked with your underpants on your head and would be still asked to stay and work. Like there are no more educated people around wondering for job.

Although I`m not about leaving my job right now. And I will not leave without having found another job first. Anyway it was funny to even concider they would panicing 3 or more years beforehand. And to be frankly I was pleased with the fact that actually I am a valuable worker. Or..may be I think too much of myself… No, definetely I`m good.

And..By the way,  I will be promoted next month =)

PS Even my English teacher strarted to say `For example, in your Australia..`. I`m pleased, really these words are nice to hear ^^  but it`s too soon.

The traffic in Moscow is always bad, even during the weekends because everybody tends to go to the same places at the same time. Our roads are not made for heavy traffic so we end up with a bottleneck. Especially in summer when it is time for road works which makes the situation even worse.

I believe that the main reason for that is joblessness in the surrounding towns and villages. People from there are forced to find work in Moscow because of meagre salaries in their own towns. We have so few developed cities in Russia. So of course people are attracted by big cities with more opportunities. I see Moscow exploding one day, as it cannot tolerate such huge influxes of people.

Speaking about traffic I mean not only traffic on roads but in metro too. People who use this transport each day get to their work angry and already tired. Without dispute it is unbearable to be sandwiched between two strangers who often don`t smell good. And it is in human nature that we need our own space (usually it is about 1 metre or so), but at least not to be touched is already a fortune in metro.

My office moved further away in the opposite direction, so I need 90 minutes to get there by metro. So in reality I spend 2 days to travel to work each week. May be it wouldn`t be a big problem for me if the metro wasn`t so overcrowded.

I reckon our government have to encourage people to develop businesses in the suburbs. It will definitely solve a big part of the traffic problem in Moscow. Also I suggest people who live in 10-30 minutes from work use bicycles. It is healthier, faster and spares the environment by the way.And it is a good idea to arrange a Free From Cars Day every year, citizens are not always anthusiastic about this and drive their cars anyway, but I hope that more and more people will be involved in this event each year.

I`ve just tried to do the listening IELTS. Am I really going to pass it? I believe it`s like UGE – one can only take chances.

My scores: listening – 26-29 out of 40. Reading – 29 out of 40.

If you happen to be in South Australia you definitely have to come and see The Twelve Apostoles. It is such a place that inspires you with its grandeous view, height and eternity. The Twelve Apostoles locate in Port Campbell on the Great Ocean Road.

The apostoles are limestone rocks standing right in the ocean. They were formed by erosin and year by year waves undermine apostoles and make them collapse. There are four apostoles have already fallen becouse of it. So as you should visit Maldives before islands are under the water you`d better to hurry to see apostoles before they vanished as well )) I`m very happy I`ve been there.

It is a beautiful scenery from every point whether you are on the top with a view of Twelve Apostoles or you`re walking down along the beach. And it isn`t a place just to spend five minutes there. Me and my friend spent there about three hours, took hundred of photoes enjoying every moment. There is a helicopter tour centre where we purchased two tickets  for flight above the apostoles.  I love to fly by any flying stuff so needless to say how much I was excited being in the air between the sky and this terrific attraction.

We were there in Australian summer, the sky was unusually cloudy but that made the all surroundings even more amazing when the sun rays struggled throught the clouds. I think it`s better to visit the Twelve Apostoles when it`s warm, in winters it must be cold I suppose especially because of the wind from the ocean. So there are two ways to experience this showplace: on foot for free and by helicopter for only 100 dollars. I`d recommend both.

Modern life …I don`t like the setting of that writing.. just didn`t find words..however: Modern life forces us to dress tastefully, beautiful and even sexy in some way, if you know what I meen. And there`re plenty of show rooms, boutiques and shopping centers avaible to offer a wide choice of sport wear, party dresses, business suits, casual clothes, shoes and accesories. It is considered to be obvious that shops are everywhere but you can`t say so when talk is about small towns and its citizens usually prefer to do shopping in big cities. Anyway..

So here we are in a luminous, flashy, motley and crowded shopping centre and we want to look fantastic so we need an appropriate combination of things. This is where we`re faced with the most problematic question “What do I want?”, because we never know the answer and act by intuition, overwise you must be a professional stylist. As for me, my wardrobe consists of only those things that I loved at the first sight and of course they suited and fitted me exactly perfectly, and to be frank I didn`t care if they were modish or no longer in fasion.

I believe that the only way to look stylish and attractive is just to dress comfy. Seriously, can you admire a girl who sets her dress straight many times because hem of her skirt is riding up all the time? Or a man who is more worried about his jacket  instead of concentrating his attantion on a companion? If you don`t remember what color was somebody`s clothes so that person was dressed perfectly.
