Let’s make a little journey!

Overwhelming Paris

I will tell you one secret: I have a dream to visit all interesting places in the world. Of course, you will be right if you tell me that every city is beautiful in its own way, so by now I want to see all exciting sights that are popular now. My latest discovery is Paris; I wanted to visit this town for many years, but I was a bit afraid to do it. I know, this is kind of stupid, but I think that Paris is one of the most impressive places in the world, so you should be completely ready to everything. I was full of impressions:

·         The architecture is very special; everyone knows the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral, but you can’t imagine how gorgeous they look in real life!

·         Its people are very different from ours, they seems to be happier than anyone from my native town.

·         The impeccable French cuisine is something very extraordinary! I like French national dishes, but I understood their rich taste only after visiting Paris.

·         I enjoyed portrait, landscape and cityscape art in famous Louvre; oh I couldn’t say a word after leaving all those masterpieces behind.

So many impressions, so little time to express them!

My favorite cityscape: modern art that will steal you heart!

There, in Paris, I came across a painting that touched my heart, so I asked my guide about the author of that masterpiece, and got the answer – Leonid Afremov. I was impressed by the artwork, and when I came back home, I decided to get to know more about him. He is one of the best cityscape artists, and he has his own online gallery. If you have never heard this name, it’s the time to fill the gap. This artist travels all over the world in order to find new impressions and develop his painting career. He visited France a few times, and it inspired him to a series of canvases that are dedicated to Paris. I am waiting now for the painting Paris of my dreams, I ordered it a couple of days ago. This cityscape enchanted my heart because the Eiffel Tower, its golden reflection in the water and the night sky that is iridescent, and remind about wonderful weekend there. It was a love at first sight, and you will also like it!

High-tech society: for or against?

It is not a secret that we live in the era of high-tech devices that serve to make our life easier and happier. Every day we take a cell-phone everywhere we go; we turn on Skype to communicate with our friends; we look into online maps to find the place of destination, and we can’t imagine our days without these things. But are they created for our benefit, or do they carry something evil? It’s no longer a secret that some devices cab cause problems with health, but we ignore this facts because we think that they do more good than harm. Really, now we have a chance to communicate with people all over the world, so who cares about the very little possibility of illnesses? But scientists take care about the population of the whole planet, so they study how different technologies affect our lives. In the recent research they found out that certain systems that are in our cars can cause big troubles: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/22/science/cars-voice-activated-systems-distract-drivers-study-finds.html. This study deals with modern technologies that allow a person control the car with the help of voice, not the buttons. Do you remember the main rule in the bus – do not talk to the driver? Here is the same problem, because you have to concentrate on what you are saying, not on the road. The scientists say that this distraction can be enough to get into the car accident or hit a passer-by, who can come to the carriageway out of sudden. So, think about it: do you really need all that devices in your car?

Aloha, Americans!

Do you like music as much as I love it? My name is Daisy Adams, and I give private piano lessons. I am glad that contemporary youth still enjoys not pop or rock, but classic masterpieces that were created many years ago. I believe that music has great power and everyone should be aware of it. We are surrounded by different sounds, and we should choose only soothing bits and harmonic tunes. So, when I take my MP3 with my favorite tracks, and I feel that my day is getting better and I am ready for new fulfillments!
