Темы эссе

Write a composition on one of the following topics. Напишите эссе на одну из тем.

1. Jack of all trades and master of none. За всё берущийся человек, но ничего не умеющий делать
2. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Где есть желание, там есть и путь.

People are so that they have desires and dreams. Many people confuse the difference between desires and distant beautiful dreams. Desire is an object, a person, the outcome of a situation that we long for to fulfill or receive in a short period of time. A dream is a colorful image of the future, both distant and upcoming. For the most part, they have a vivid ideal image of the situation, exactly the one we would like to see.

 

You can wish to drink water, wish someone happiness, and in most cases, our desires are easily fulfilled. It is enough to make an effort and begin to act. Dreams, in turn, can remain dreams, because the world is far from ideal, and it rarely does everything the way we want. After all, you can dream of never having a winter? But, in spite of our efforts, winter will come anyway.

3. A light purse is heavy curse. Хуже всех бед, когда нет денег.
