The biggest challenge in life is accepting yourself, to be able to be happy in your own skin and love who you are and what you look like no matter what. Everyday a new advertisement, magazine cover, or music video depicting the “perfect” women comes out. What they all have in common is how they objectify women to sell whatever it may be. Television producers use excessive makeup, magazines use Photoshop to make models look thinner, and most importantly have them wear barely any clothes. In our society today, marketing companies everywhere are using the sexualization of young women to make their product sell. The effect on the younger generation is giving them a completely different idea of how they should think of themselves, causing emotional disorders or body dysmorphia. Most importantly, it affects how young girls view themselves when they become older. This type of advertising is only ruining and degrading women and children of our society.…

On the one hand, many students find that students are very confused after graduation. They do not know what to do after graduation, or they do not have a clear purpose of learning English. This is why the majority of English majors have not been able to do some jobs related to English. Only a small number of students have a clear goal, and they hope that their future work can be related to English, and they are interested in English. On the other hand, students show their lack of interests toward some English courses at the university, which most claim to be English Newspapers Reading , the History of English and American Literature, the Appreciation of Short Stories and so on. Students say that most of these courses are for candidates, they had to get credit so that they could graduate. But after the end of a semester, students have no impression on the content of these courses. The reason why students are not satisfied with the course is that the teaching contents of these courses are boring, and some teachers always teach in a tedious way. Meanwhile, Educational courses are focused on theory only and are lack of practice. Students are instilled in a large quantity of theoretical knowledge about English, covering a wide range of contacts with a lot of English-related disciplines. But in fact these classes which are seemed noble do not have much help for students. Students believe that the five curriculums offered by the…

I started to think about gaining a good education when I was 12 years old. That time was rather difficult time for our country, and consequently for our family. My father had just started his business in a young country, which had just become an independent state. I heard his talks about business in our country, about lack of specialists, about development of his business and used to say to myself that I would do my best to help my father when I grow up. Since that time I have been studying hard, attending different courses in order to improve my knowledge. Especially with this aim I had attended English Language Courses in Lewes School of English in UK when I was 13. Later on, when I came back home, in order to improve my language skills I had one-to-one lessons with qualified English speaking teachers. I was interested in not only fluent speaking and writing in English, but also in understanding science and math in English. That time I used to think that I would be an economist that is why I studied math hard. Two years after, in order to improve my oratorical skills I participated in Model UN General Assembly in Moscow, where I presented my report in front of MGIMO students. Moreover, last year was significant and crucial in my life. In summer holidays I had a chance to study in Lexington Prep School in the USA. Teachers from Lexington made a very deep impression on me being so experienced, having professional degrees from top ranking USA universities, including Harvard, MIT, Princeton and the University of Chicago. After this my experience I have firmly decided to study Business Management.…
