Finally, we addressed one of the most important questions, whether elective subjects at school will contribute to choosing a profession in the future. Our school, “Mkhitar Sebastatsi” educational complex, has given us such an opportunity and depending on the preferences, the student chooses an activity subject. There are many of them, from sports to foreign languages.

Some choose sports, for example, table tennis, football, basketball, some crafts: jewelry, winemaking, sculpture, and others foreign languages, for example, Spanish, Italian, French. I stopped at the third point, but before that, I chose mathematics, WEB programming. I am currently studying Turkish as an elective at school. I really appreciate that it is taught in our school, and our school is a wonderful example for other educational institutions. In other schools in Armenia, except expensive or more advanced ones, I have not seen students learn the language of their enemy. I myself have been studying at school for a year, and I practice at home in order to improve. The Turkish language is so similar to Armenian that I am amazed that there are so many borrowings in our native language, and the same thing in Turkish.

Education is an important tool which is very useful in everybody’s life. Education is what differentiates us from other living beings on earth. It makes man the smartest creature on earth. It empowers humans and gets them ready to face challenges of life efficiently. With that being said, education still remains a luxury and not a necessity in our country. Educational awareness needs to be spread through the country to make education accessible. But, this remains incomplete without first analyzing the importance of education. Only when the people realize what significance it holds, can they consider it a necessity for a good life. In this essay on Education, we will see the importance of education, how it is a doorway to success.

• to empower — լիազորել
• efficiently — արդյունավետ կերպով
• awareness — իրազեկում
• accessible — հասանելի

The world has different countries. Some are developed, they are good countries for living, and some are underdeveloped and dangerous. But all these countries unite only one thing. No matter how much the state and the country, the people and the nation are developed, there will be someone who will be the “opposite picture”. I am now talking about betrayal, somewhere about an Armenian. It is really unpleasant that we make such comparisons, but this is reality, and we cannot do any game with reality. My country is different from others. Of course, my nation and the state also have good sides, one of which is the unity of the nation at the important moment, but in fact, there are more bad sides.

An interesting fact: in Armenia there are all types of education, such as colleges, pre-school educational, higher educational places, kindergartens, universities and etc. In that moment, Armenia is so developed.

My brother after graduating the primary school, will replace to secondary.

Post graduate school is an another level of practicing and learning, but deeper. The atmosphere in that places are so interesting and useful.

In our school, many of students like information technologies, because they are so popular in our century and by them, we’re evolving. Another part close to 25% of 9^th grade school-children like sciences, like physics, chemistry, natural science, biology and somewhere geography. I’ve prepared an interesting statistics about that.

I like all of these subjects but I want to major in history, geography, laws and rules of RA, math and our neighborhood’s languages. I don’t like subjects like handicrafts, art, music, where you cannot study anything, except learning how to sing, how to play. However, our school gives us a chance to learn cookery, handicrafts, languages, natural sciences, but more that half of students prefer to major in IT.

1. Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of California has recently made a

2. scientific study of lying. According to his research, women are better liars than

3. men. They are especially good at telling ‘white lies’, such as when a woman at a

4. party tells another woman that she likes her dress, even though she really thinks it

5. is awful. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researchers say that men

6. are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise, which they do

7. not intend to keep. This is the kind of lie politicians and some businessmen are

8. supposed to be good at; the kind of lie they can profit from in some way.

9. Some psychologists believe that certain gestures show that one is lying. For example,

10. they may make sudden, unconscious movements when they tell a lie. This

11. suggests that they are thinking: “I wish I were not here.”

12. They may also touch their lips or rub their noses. Perhaps these gestures are

13. caused by mental stress. However, we should remember that they can tragically

14. mislead us in other ways.

15. In Miami a man was recently found guilty of murdering his wife whom he

16. suspected of having a love affair with another man. When denying this, she had

17. rubbed her nose several times. He believed this was proof that she was lying. Her

18. doctor later said that he had seen her the day before she was killed. She had come

19. to him because she was suffering from a rare skin disease. This is just one small

20. example of how gestures can deceive people, often with a tragic end.

I don’t think, I have any interesting trip for about I want to tell, but anyway I’m going to remember some interesting stories about my school’s trips. I had many chances to participate in various trips. When I moved to this school, those chances did not decrease and on the contrary, I tried to reach and participate in everyone. There were one-day and multi-day trips.

Unfortunately, I have participated in two multi-day trips, both to Arates village. However, there have been many beautiful, useful, wonderful and effective trips. As for one-day trips, I have many, many of them. I went to museums, art centers, various government structures, outside the city, skating rinks, factories, for example glass containers and wine. Among the museums, I visited geology, military science, science and technology, Sergey Parajanov, Matenadaran and other interesting museums. I took part in overcoming the heights, for example Davalva mountain and Gutanasar, I took part in trips to the fortresses of Armenia, such as Amberd and Smbataberd. I went to Aparan Reservoir and many other places. Of course, I’ve participated in trips to churches.

On September 11, 2001, 2,977 people were killed in the deadliest terrorist attacks in American history.

The moment shocked the nation. Two planes, hijacked by Islamic jihadists vowing death to all Americans, plowed into both towers at the World Trade Center in New York. Another plane was flown into the Pentagon in Washington, DC. A fourth plane, presumably headed for the White House or the U.S. Capitol, was heroically diverted by passengers and ended up crashing in an empty field in Pennsylvania. After reports of the first plane hitting the North Tower, millions watched the second plane hit the South Tower on live television.

There are many types of pollution, such as air, environment and sea. That phenomenon is familiar to us. We’ve felt, seen and heard about that. Pollution is the result of harmful, useless materials into the environment. That materials we called pollutants. Pollutants damage the quality of water and air, which we breathe and drink. There are many solutions for escaping this problem, but anyway each of us don’t think about that. Furthermore we are polluting more, it’s the biggest problem of the people.
