What I have learned so far in university
In my opinion, the first semester was about brushing up our knowledge and skills about the English language. We got reacquainted with the grammar rules and the tenses. We were taught about morphology, phonetics and phonology again, but this time not just in Hungarian, but English, too. The latter was a new experience for many of us, as in former English lessons we only learned basic grammar and new words and expressions. We relearned the importance of linking words, how to write a paragraph, and what topic sentences are. We learned many idioms and expressions, although if one reads many English works, some of them were familiar. Idioms are important to know as native speakers use them in everyday life, almost without noticing, and foreigners can get quite confused if they hear them without knowing about them. Even though we learned many facts about literature, in English we just started an introductory lesson about it in order to get to know the known expressions and to broaden our knowledge. In Hungarian classes we learned about the same topics, but with greater care for the history of Hungarian literature. In conclusion, the previous semester in the university was a great opportunity to acquire the basic skills necessary for our further years, as the material is extensive and we need these elementary skills to become good teachers.

The Hungarian education system - Nils Holgerssons

Outline Thesis: The main problem is the amount of material, because it leads to numerous other problems. I.                     Disadvantageous 1.        Pupils cannot catch up 2.        Teachers have no time to explain II.                  The lack of freetime 1.        Spending too much time indoors 2.        Motivation is lost Conclusion: The Board of Education should reduce the amount of material.     If you could change just one thing about the Hungarian education system, what would it be and why? The education system became a highly debated topic among people in Hungary.  The main problem in schools is the amount of material, because it leads to a plenty of negative effects. Nowadays, children and adolescents must face a lot of pressure and stress, caused by the numerous classes, subjects, tests and exams.  While the older generations had to attend to nearly the same classes and deal with the struggles as well, even the parents can sense the change

Recognizing lies through nonverbal communication - Cseh Szabina

Outline Thesis: There are behavioral clues to deceit we can observe that are evident in face, body, and voice. I.                    The face 1.       “The wise monkeys” 2.       Looking aside 3.       Deceitful smiles II.                 The body 1.       Fidgeting near the neck 2.       Folded arms 3.       Crossed legs 4.       Pointing our toes III.              The voice 1.       Swallow voice and our lips 2.       Higher pitch and lower tone 3.       The speed of speech Conclusion: Lies can be noticed through nonverbal clues, but these clues do not always hide deceit. Recognizing lies through nonverbal communication Lying is part of human behavior, although not one that is acceptable. It is something that people deliberately choose to do to mislead others or to get something that through other means cannot – or hardly can – be reached (Ekman 163). However, deceiving others can be recognized if one observes the telling clues that cannot alwa

Black of the Night or Nature's Green? Health Effects of Green and Black Tea

Black of the Night or Nature’s Green? Health Effects of Green and Black Tea The vast variety of different types of tea can be overwhelming. Every person in every culture has their own favoured kind of tea – White Tea, Black Tea, Oolong Tea, Pu-erh Tea and so on – but their short and long-term health effects are not always the same. Over the years countless studies have been published by scientists and physicians about the health effects of different teas trying to prove one's or the other's superiority. In this paper I will examine the health effects of Black and Green Teas and provide arguments for the beneficial effects of drinking Green Tea. Black Tea is a type of tea that is made of Camellia sinensis leaves and which is more oxidized and stronger than other tea types. It is an effectual antioxidant because of its free-radical scavenging and metal-chelating ability (Sharma et al., 379–404). For this reason, it eliminates inflammation and prevents the formation of c
