Ticket 9: letter and essay. My aunt lives in Arkansas and last week her house was ruined by a tornado (Сочинения ЕГЭ английский язык)

Dear Friend,

I was so glad to get your letter. I should have written earlier, but I have been busy at school.

I feel so sorry about situation with your aunt. In my opinion, the most terrible disasters are volcanic eruption, tornado and tsunami. Fortunately, non of them are typical for a place where I live. To protect yourself from natural disaster one should know all information and which of them are typical for a place of his/her living and if it is so dangerous it is needed to think about moving somewhere else. Additionally, it is necessary to have different types of an insurances.

I’m happy for your teacher too! Do you like the subject of her teaching? What has made her special? Do you think it is easy to be a teacher? Unfortunately, I have to go now. Hope to hear from you soon.

Take care,

«Internet is a great time-waster»

Modern world is unimaginable without the Internet.

For somebody it is a must for a job, but it is also so for a leisure and entertainment. Is it bad or not?

In my opinion, the Internet is not a time-waster is it is used in a right way. First of all, it has many advantages for people’s comfort. The Internet is a good for those who want to unwind after tiring day by watching films, playing games, reading news on topics they are interested in. Secondly, in the Internet you may find a lot of different new information in a few minutes. You do not have to waste time in a library or buy books and magazines. Finally, Internet is one of the ways to find new friends who shares your interests and ideas.

On the contrast, there exists another point of view. Many people think that the Internet is just a way of wasting time. They believe that it distracts people from their life and puts them into virtual one. Moreover, in their opinion Internet makes us stupider.

I cannot agree with the opinion above. In the Internet everyone can find tonnes of information that will expand their mind, help to find salvation of any problem and etc. Even videos and some games may be useful and educational.

In conclusion I would like to point out that the Internet is one of the greatest benefit of humanity made to facilitate our life and everyone should know limits of it’s using not to make it a time-waster.
