Recommendation

I have known him for two years. He is one of the best students in our school. He is smart and hardworking. He attends his lessons and activities seriously and he always does his work.

He is also energetic and very talented. For example: Bulgantamir participated in the Math and physics Olympiads successful last year, and he received gold, silver and bronze medals from them.

In addition he has a sense of humor, and he is friendly. He is also good at math and chess. I strongly recommend his as a student because he has many abilities and will study to attain a promising future.

I hope you will give Bulgantamir every consideration because he will be an excellent student.

Mongolian future

Mongolia is unique because of its integrity in nature, culture, history and hospitality. It is also called “the Land of Blue sky”. I am proud of Mongolian’s pristine nature, fresh air and grassland. Every day Mongolian life changed. The population is about 2.6 million people, but it is one of the least densely populated countries in the world. As the statistics suggest, the population of Mongolia will reach 4,4 million by 2050. I agree that if the population of the country increases, the economic would develop very rapidly.

First of all, we need to develop the Mongolian education system, which should reach international standards. As well as, Mongolians also need to discover many new scientific discoveries in the world.

Secondly, the urban concentration in Mongolia is found in Ulaanbaatar. So, we need to initiate a strategic city plan in order to regulate self development of Harhorin. I dream that the Harhorin city will be a modern city in the world.

Thirdly, Mongolia was very vast territory. So transportation needs to be developed. In my opinion tarmac road should rebuild along each aimag, sum, or bag in ten years time.

Fourthly, there are many cars and ger district’s smoke in Mongolia. So we need to build many big apartments for the public. I believe that the Mongolian people will be very rich, the rural community will be moved elsewhere by rich herders, business man, politicians and order urban citizens who still keep their ties with the original traditional institutions.

Next, the economic will increase to the developed countries level. Especially, it needs to increase export product such as copper, gold, cashmere wool, fur, leather and diary product.

Finally, I am proud of Mongolia it could be the best developed country in the world.

If I had million dollar

If I had million dollars, first I would keep it in the Golomt bank.

Of course the interest rate would increase the capital, so I would spent only the interest.

First, I would graduate from university and complete a master’s course. Then I would have a big library of foreign language books. I would buy a lot of books for my library. Then I would acquire a lot of knowledge. To have a good education, I would learn many foreign language such as English, Chinese, German, and Japanese and of course Russian.

I would study English especially. To speak each foreign language well, I would employ native speakers.

After that, in order to learn the history ad customs of many countries, I would travel to foreign countries. My first country of course would be America, I would especially visit the Hollywood district in Los-Angeles, because my hobby is studying about popular people’s lives. Next I would travel to other countries.

In short, I dream that I will one day, have a million dollars.

How to protect the enviroment

Our earth is our home. Do people pollute the enviroment? Of course one of the most serious problem is a ger district. The smoke is the main cause of bad air quility, which can make people feel ill and have difficulty breathing. So the goverment concentrate on this problem and it should build many apartments for the public.

Another of the biggest polluters today is cars. Ownerships is increasing every year.

In my opinion, the goverment should decrease the number of cars, people should go to work by bycicle and electric cars. Public transport is more environmentally friendlt because buses and trains can carry large numbers of people at the same time. On the other hand, wind, wave, and solar power don not pollute the environment. We have to control atmospheric and water polution, to study man’s influence on the climate. If we don’t use chemicals responsidy we will pollute our invironment. Litter is garbage like food, paper, nad cans on the ground or in the street in Mongolia. So, people should put their garbage in the garbage can. Moreover, they should work together in groups to clean up the city and Tuul river. Also, it is important that people should build a recycling centre in Mongolia. People all over the world should do everything to protect their environment and try to persuade the government to take more care of the environment , especially by organizing protests.

Unit 8

Hard time

A.

I moved to London with my family a month ago. I haven’t made any new friends yet and I miss my old friends. I’m going to start at my new school next week but I don’t want to. I’m afraid my new schoolmates will tease me because of my accent. I think I’ll be miserable there. I want to go back to my village. What can I do?

B.

I’m a working mother with a two-month-old son. My house is very far from my workplace. If I carry on working there, I’ll miss out on the pleasure of spending time with my song. I’m thinking of applying for a part-time job in a place which is much nearer, but if I get the job, I’ll earn a lot less money and I’ll have no chance of promotion. Could you please help me?

C.

I am 65 and I have always been kept busy with my shop, but I’ll be retiring in February, so I’m not going to have anything to do. I’m an active and it will be impossible for me to sit around the house. If I spend my time just going on pensioners trips or walk in the park, I’ll feel useless. Any ideas?

The best thing you can do is to stop worrying. There are so many things you can do to feel useful. How about taking up a hobby which you never had time for before? You could also do some work for charities and help others with your experience and abilities.

2.

You ought to think about what is best for your family. If you can afford to live on less money, then you should apply for a part-time job. This will be much better for you because you’ll have more time for your son. Alternatively, if your present work-place has got a child-minding centre for its employees’ children, I strongly advise you to stay. In this way you’ll be close to your son and you can also seek promotion. Hope this advice is of some help to you.

3.

I don’t think you should worry so much. Why don’t you join a gym? You’ll make lots of friends there. If I were you, I wouldn’t be afraid of starting at the new school. If you go there with a positive attitude, I’m sure that everything will be OK.
