“What I have learnt so far at university”

When we were at the end of our high school years, we did not realize that a whole new life is starting, and it is going to be a more different and harder part of our lifetime, with many positive and negative experiences, and memories which we are never going to forget. On 11th September I was one of the many freshmen who entered this building for the first time, with fear, hope, and uncertainty about this new type of life. In the first few weeks, I was very lost in this huge building with many classrooms and confusing corridors. I was late for nearly every lesson, and I did not feel comfortable with my fellow students. There were two or three people who were kind, friendly, and I could talk with them, but, unfortunately, we were not in the same classes and the others were very shy and reserved. I am a sociable, talkative person who loves meeting other people and building friendships but this time it seemed to me that it was hopeless. The lessons were boring (now I think the opposite), I could not focus, I missed what the teacher said, and I was not interested in the answers. When the final week came I had very bad marks, and I was so stressed, exhausted, because I tried to save my semester during the last weeks. At that time I completely changed my attitude towards the school and decided that I am going to be as hardworking, enthusiastic, mature, and punctual as I can be. When the oral exams started, the students were completely different; they were friendlier and lively. We crossed our fingers for the others who were taking the exams at that moment. I have learned in the past semester that I have to work for my success and it is not as easy as I thought. I learnt that I have to arrive on time for classes, do the homework, pay attention to the teacher, make notes, and most importantly not judge people for the first time without knowing them.

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.

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
