Prohibition of driving in the city center?

At the beginning I admit that it is a good idea. I live in a big city, and every day I am in the city center, so I know that such a ban can give you a lot of good. For example I'll give the city of Poznan. Every day, thousands of people commute from further parts of the city to the center, to work or to school. Unfortunately, a large portion of people choose to reach by car. The streets form a big traffic jams and travel time is longer. It is not economical and ecological. Car exhaust fumes pollute our environment. Long waiting in traffic really annoys people. They are nervous and in such a situation they can easily cause a traffic accident. Parking in the city center are paid, so it increases the costs of people who choose a car. I belong to people who commute to the city center by public transport. It is really well developed in our city. Monthly ticket price without discounts and so it is lower than the price of monthly parking in the parking lot. Therefore there is no problem of finding parking spaces. If people have learned to ride public transportation in the city would be more quiet, clean and calmer. Public transportation would have more money for its development, could be made more frequently plying the crowded line. Comfort during your journey in tram or bus would be better. Even commuters from outside the city could choose public transport. Rather than commute by car to the center, leave your car in parking at bus stops or loops on the outskirts of the city. I think that the ban on driving cars in the city center has a lot of advantages and the city authorities should consider how to improve traffic in the city for people, so they could choose public transport and leave their cars for trips on the outskirts.

Hard time




Time of examinations at the end of the semester is extremely difficult for each student. Dealing with deadlines, hard work and with themselves is exhaustive. Of course, year-round job helps, but there is no denying that most of the duties collected at the end of the semester. The most important is  not to leave everything to the last minute just cleverly spread out our duties for a few days. It is important also to have a good night's sleep to our brains "sober" thought the next day. And the ability to in mastering stress. But how?

 

Think about the upcoming holidays!

Shopping on the Internet.

Shopping on the Internet have gained a great popularity throughout the world. And it is not weird. Today, on the Internet you can buy almost everything you want . Sometimes it is the only way to buy a product because it is not available in local stores . Online shopping also have competitive prices , lower than in stationary ones . We can buy something unique and in addition for a lower price . Importantly , there are no restrictions on purchases on the Internet : it means that you can buy for instance clothes from the store which is located on another continent ! You just need to pay more for shipment and wait for it a few days longer . For several years, you are able to do grocery shopping too. It's a good idea for busy people who do not have time to go to the grocery store or for those who do not own a car to do a one-off large purchases. You just go to the appropriate website, add products which we are interested , make a transfer , and our shop will soon send supplier to our home. This is a very convenient solution . Of course online shopping have bad side. On the Internet you can find a lot of scammers , people who visit Allegro or eBay not to run his own business but for an individual offer for sale certain things. Sometimes can happen that purchased goods are damaged, unoriginal (for example, in the case of perfume or clothing ) or it doesn’t come at all despite that we have already made a payment! Mostly contact with the seller is limited , and to recover our money we are forced to submit the matter on the police. To avoid such unpleasant situations we should carefully make purchases over the Internet. It would be best for us if shop in which we are decide to make a purchase had majority of positive opinions. Buying online is a good idea but we need to come to this matter very carefully and check everything’s out because there’s always been and there will always be someone who wants to deceive us and make an profit on our unhappiness.

Using a psychologist in resolving family conflicts - are you for or against?

It's difficult for me to state clearly whether the resolution of conflicts between parents and their children in a psychologist is good or bad. I think it depends on many factors from the child's age , the type of conflict , expectations of parents and the general situation in the family. However, at the beginning I am for attempt to resolve conflicts between parents and their children without interference of a psychologist. In my opinion, the most important thing is to talk , trying to communicate , to come to a compromise and establish some rules. Using the help of a psychologist should be a last resort . It is not pleasant when you have to introduce your live to a stranger, telling him or her about out problems even if he or she is a specialist in that field. It is very important before child’s birth to have appropriate schedule containing such subjects telling about child’s raising and other educational things. I think that in the future it will reduce behavioral problems . Unfortunately, there are some situations in families where the conversation between parents and children does not help and talk to psychologist is necessary. I believe that psychological help is good, but only as a last resort .

Recovery time!

The long weekend is the perfect time to rest. In this year it has already begun on Thursday. I could not let that so many days off could be lost. My preparation for the weekend started before Easter holidays with my cousin. We see each other very rarely , so the prospect of spending four days together made us very happy. The place choice only took us a while. It was unanimous decision . We both love the sea , so we decided to explore the charming town , called Dziwnowo . On Thursday early morning, we packed our bags in the trunk and left for few hours car journey. Eventually, we could talk to each other , listen to our favorite music and enjoy each other's company . We arrived at lunch time . Sebastian , my cousin , loves fishes, unfortunately I do not but it doesn’t change the thing that we went to the restaurant and ordered a delicious dinner set . Replete , we went to the beach and walked along the shore until sunset . Fortunately the weather was good for the whole 4 days stay , so we spent as much time outdoors as we could . It was a really nice time . Me and my cousin promised to have a holiday after the exams again and go on a few days leave . I cannot wait! How well that vacations are for 7 weeks!

Music is everything


On the occasion of the ongoing musical event namely Eurovision, I think it worthwhile publish something  about music. Music accompanies me from an early age. When I was little, my dad let go of various songs from the years of his youth. Then I came across on TV music stations with contemporary music. At that moment I began to create my musical tastes, likes and dislikes. Of course, for many years it was changing, and what I liked in the past, today it seems awful. Today I listen to different bands, most of the last century. Although there are cool songs contemporary composers. I listen to music in English and Polish. More and more I know also French music. However, I would like to focus on the influence of music on our lives. It is amazing, but the music could accompany me in literally every aspect of life. With some bands  I can concentrate and learning becomes more enjoyable, the other could relax forever. These are tunes when the heart begins to beat faster, which evoke memories of the great moments of our lives. Allow us to go into another dimension of reality. And what is most beautiful is so much undiscovered performers, bands with great music! Music  never get bored.
By the way, Polish performance at eurovision was warmly welcomed by the audience, maybe it's time to win?

Hello!

Due to the fact that recently we had Easter, I decided that I will describe you how this festival looks in Poland. People prepare themselves and do such things like cleaning up, going shopping, cooking different dishes at home, for example cheesecakes. On the great Saturday the whole family goes to church in order to bless the meals. Food are carried in adorned baskets. We can find inside those baskets meals such as meats, eggs, salt, pepper and bread. On Monday, the whole family gathers around the table to eat blessed meals. At this time, everyone are happy and spend time with their families. In this holy day Easter bunny brings gifts to children to make them happy too.

Don’t be sluggish!

I am convinced that spring is the most beautiful season of the year. Although it takes since several days,  gradually reveals her charms. Wonderfully when you wake up thanks to  rays of the sun. You peek through the window and see green grass flourishing forsythia and hear the birds singing. Let's be honest,  when is autumn and winter you  don’t experience this. Most people feel the desire to live. And all this thanks to the beautiful weather and pleasant temperatures. And I also caught my spring euphoria. I go for long walks with my  friends and I'm glad the moment. And you feel the spring in your life, don’t be sluggish! ;)

Ebooks? No, thanks.






Nowadays, more and more fashionable is to use the ebooks. With these you can have access to many texts. You can find short texts and long ones too. And all these are as heavy as your portable equipment.

It's hard to disagree, but for me this is the only advantage of e-books.



I don’t like the electronic form of reading anything. First of all, I can’t focus on the content reading! Many of the facts after reading I don’t remember, because during the reading my thoughts are far far away from me. Often these texts are scans of the original (in case of texts useful for studies) and they really lose on their quality. I don’t like to strain eyes and wonder what is the last word on the bottom line.

When I read I like the feel when book is in my hands. Book doesn’t have to be the latest release, but when it is straight from the bookstore, it has particular smell  and if it isn’t damaged  it’s additional advantage . Also when I want to highlight something important or make a note in the text, the paper turns out to be useful.

Reading online is tiring, I feel pain when I read too long. When you read traditional books such symptoms  are rare.





Unfortunately I won’t follow the growing fashion of e-books. Environmentalists also won’t convince me, arguing that reading ebooks protect the environment. We don’t need to have in bookcase all the books since we have well-equipped urban libraries, which offer various book resources.

Definitely  I will not become a e-reader.

Good morning!

Hi everybody!
My blog is not dedicated to a specific subject I will try to write on various topics of interest to me. I study French philology at UAM in Poznan. On the first place I put French language, because it is very interesting and I really like it, but I want to continue learning English also. Taking this opportunity, that today is the womens' day I wish all women in particular my colleagues from the group and the teacher all the best during that day!
Greetings!
