...Everything was ready. I was going to Venice, the city of the love, with my boyfriend. We had been planning this for two years. It was going to be an absolutely wonderful vacation and it turned out that I would spend1 the most beautiful moments in my life there. Venice is my favorite vacation spot because its romance, entertainment, and its charming historical places. Venice is the best city to have romantic moments. The most romantic thing in my life was taking a gondola ride with my boyfriend through the canals of Venice. We were taking a walk in the evening, and suddenly I found myself in a gondola. It was his plan. The sun was setting as we passed through the old buildings. I felt that I was living in the 13th century. During the ride, we enjoyed the views of the historical Venice houses. The old houses which are both sides of the canals were the best. Also, our gondolier made that ride unforgettable for us with a bottle of wine. The gondolier did everything to ensure that our ride would never be forgotten. After that, it was very romantic to watch the stars above at the historical stone bridges on the canal, all the while being surrounded by live music. All these things make Venice the best choice for our romantic vacation. Venice is known as one of the best places for huge carnivals in Europe. “The Carnival of Venice” is the most popular carnival. We had not planned to attend this carnival. It started three days after we arrived. We were lucky to...

...option and the best option for you is to minister in Canada”. I remember this sentence very well, when I heard it for the first time. It was during one of those beautiful and sunny days of April in Vienna that changed my life like it was yesterday. I mean, how could I forget it? I remember different feelings (that were) present in my mind that red-letter day. When I was picking up my phone to call the Provincial of the Polish Province, I felt little bit afraid but most of all excited. My dream to work somewhere in English speaking country had been growing for a long time. I was praying and asking God whether it was His will for my priestly life. I spoke to many...

...novel, “The Wonderful Wizard of OZ”. The heart of the book involves a “Brainless” Scarecrow, a “Heartless” Tinman, a “Cowardly” Lion, a “Bad” Witch, a “Good” Witch, a wizard deemed as The Great Oz and a little girl named Dorothy who just wanted to get back home. All aspects that would make you believe it to be just a children’s story and nothing more right? Wrong! When author, L. Frank Baum created The Wizard of OZ maybe he had something else up his sleeve; a deeper meaning. The Wonderful Wizard of OZ was written in the 1900’s during the collapse of the populist movement. Making it to believe that, The Wonderful Wizard of OZ is nothing but a Political Allegory. It was reported that author Frank L. Baum was a political activist in the 1890’s who showed a great deal of interest in the question of “gold and silver”. The question of Gold and Silver being whether or not both silver and gold should be used as currency ( Bryan’s side) or the economic account being based on a fixed quantity of gold (the Republicans side). To put the controversy in a simpler form; you had two sides, “free silver” (Bryan) and “sound money” (Republicans). In Baums’, The Wonderful Wizard Of OZ, the “Yellow Brick Road” would represent the Gold standard and the silver slippers; most commonly known as ruby slippers in the film version, would represent the “free silver” movement. The belief that The Wizard of OZ is more than just a children’s story, but an allegory dates all the way back to the year of 1964, when...

...develop especially close friendships and have wonderful relationships within my family. Trust, faithfulness, and loyalty are shown to the people I value the most. However, the dedication directed towards my loved ones can be both beneficial and harmful to me. Certain relationships throughout my life have taken advantage of this, forcing me blind to their negative traits. For example, my best friend since 8th grade remained particularly close to me through the early years of high school. Sadly, I ignored her selfishness, instead investing further energy and commitment into our relationship. This inhibited me from pursuing friendships and branching off with other people that could have been beneficial in my life. One of the most harmful instances occurred when she prevented me from meeting another girl, one who is now my girlfriend, as she did not align with my friend’s personal interests. I almost missed an opportunity to meet a wonderful person due to the dedication I had towards the wrong people. Although it can harm me, I regard my dedication towards people as my most admirable trait. I accept the losses of exiguous acquaintances to pursue deeper relationships with the people I regard the most. I am able to create relationships with strong ties and connections that would otherwise not exist. This trait benefits me despite the fact it can tear down the bridges between occasional friends. My dedication gives me the ability build wonderful connections with the individuals I love the...

...Davis became two of the most inspiring American jazz musicians of all time by accessing very differently to their art. In the analysis an album from each artist, I choose “What A Wonderful World” of Louis Armstrong and “Kind of Blue” of Miles Davis. Louis Armstrong (August 4, 1901 – July 6, 1971) was the most influential performer to affect a lot of Jazz musicians. He influenced the whole jazz population with his amazing voice and energetic trumpet. And he played a great role in the modernization of jazz. His career spanned almost 50 years, from the 1920s to the 1960s, and different jazz eras. The work of Louis Armstrong summed up the achievements of New Orleans jazz style and indicated the way to the later...

...Dr. Kristin Redfield English 131-800 13 March 2014 A Diary in the Life of Anne Bradstreet: 1612-1672 May 1628 “If ever two were one, then surely we. If ever man were loved by wife, then thee; If ever wife was happy in a man, Compare with me, ye women, if you can” (Bradstreet: "To My Dear and Loving Husband"). I am so excited at this moment for I am about to marry a wonderful man. He is a gift from God and I treasure him. I thank God daily in my prayers for such a wonderful man. I met Mr. Bradstreet-Simon, when he began to work with my father. He and my father worked in service of the Earl of Lincoln. Dad had invited him over to dinner with us. I still remember the first time he came to our house. I was in my room and mama called me for introductions. Upon first laying eyes on him, I thought him to be a nice looking man. As he grew a closer relationship with my father and visited on a regular basis, I grew very fond of him and today, at the age of 16, I am marrying the love of my life, Mr. Simon Bradstreet. Recently, mother and I have heard father and Simon speak of journeying to America. I do not know if that will happen but I know that I will follow wherever my husband leads. A.

...Toefl test is the most wonderful test Agree or disagree I completely agree that the Toefl test is the most wonerful test. Although, I believe that some minuses of the test cannot be denied , but Im sure that the test is an acceptable way to discover our ability to read, write ,speak and then to develop our abilites in academic English. When I started practising for the test, it change a lot of things in my way of learning.For example, there are some types for speaking and writing , which I had always ignored. When I started to speak and write in a more particular way, and it helped me to improve my fundamental knowledge. First of all Toefl helps people to be more organised.For example, I have a friend who hated studying. He always got falls in test . The biggest problem , which disturbed him to study is the absense of being organised. He always mixed in his minds , and it became a barrier for him to study well at school. When he started to study Toefl he became more organised nd more concentrated,because Toefl needs a lot of concentration,hardworking and ability to be organised.Toefl has changed his whole life and now he studies at Cambridge university with very high grades. In addition to my first reason I also can say that Toefl is very important for future. Knowledge,which you get at time of studying Toefl, you can use in all kinds of situations of life. For example, my uncle who studied...

...disagree with this statement. Give reason to support your opinion: " The college years are the best time in a persons' life" -- To some people, retirement years are the best time in their lives. People needn't work hard 8 hours a day, go around the office all day long but still having enough money to enjoy fulfill their lives. However, others object that college years bring to individuals the experiences and worth remembered memory. From my point of view, my college time is the most excited and wonderful years in my life. A convincing reason for this idea is that college time is the base for us to have a better life. It is reported from the Edu magazine is 65% people agreed that college is the best environment to develop one's aptitude and knowledge for our future job. Subjects are required in the curriculum give us chances to get useful skills, also improve higher ability to add to our real life situations. Another reason is that college years are the best time for people to establish the relationships with others. In that time, people tend to make friends, broaden relationships to intergrade the complex and huge environment like a college. What's more, the activities which are hold in college frequently attract most of students. Joining these events is a means not only develop our talents but also widen contact with other people. It may be argued that the retirement years are the best time in one's life, because people are not under the stressful life anymore. However,...

...Fall makes me so happy and I am anxious for it to come every single year. Everything during fall is absolutely wonderful, I love it! Some of the best times that I have had in my life, oddly occurred during the fall season; and I sometimes wonder if that may be part of the reason(s) that I cherish it so much. Fall is such a beautiful and blissful season; it is the best season of the year. Fall is so wonderful mainly because of the beautiful scenery it displays. Here in Arizona, the summers are very hot and dry, and it almost feels dreadful at times; but the fall here is absolutely beautiful. You can start to notice the transition into fall around mid- September because the mornings are sort of wet from the precipitation and you can feel the cool air gently fan across your whole entire body. Not only that, but later in September, the leaves start to turn into the beautiful array of sunburst orange, medallion yellow and cherry red, and when the leaves start to fall onto the cold hard ground, you can feel and hear the crunch of the leaves beneath your feet. The cool air is so crisp and refreshing; you can feel the slight wind of the cool air tingle your cheeks lightly. The weather is not to cold and not too warm, it is just the perfect measure of both. It is lovely. Not only is the sight of fall beautiful, the different aromas in the air are just as pleasing. Fall has such a unique smell in the air. It is a wonderful mixture of sweet pumpkin pie, burning firewood from the tall chimneys...
