Yes, I had such experience in my life. However, this story won't be about my decision. I believe we are too young and happy now to think about what will happen in the long run, but our parents knew exactly what to do. My mother sent me to a music school because she believed that having a musical education was a sign of good upbringing. It is not necessary to become a musician after finishing the school, but such knowledge can certainly have a good effect on adult life. Of course, it was terribly hard for me to study there as a teenager, as I didn't want anything actually, but if you look on the bright side, now I get a lot of advantages from it.
My musical school is over, but this experience still helps me in my life. I think people have to try something unexpected, as it may turn out that it will play a significant role in your life.

1) It is hard to SEE TO all of the assignments we have at our university. 2) It is easy for me to SEE THROUGH a person, especially if they behave strangely. 3) The most important Christian rule: don't LOOK DOWN ON people if they make mistakes. 4) Instead LOOK UP TO them if they have progress fighting with their weaknesses.

One book called "East of Eden" by John Steinbeck once turned up in my life. I had some good expectations about it. I felt that this book wouldn't betray my expectations and it didn't. The book didn't run out of ideas. I had an amusing time reading it. I was very glad for one character, whose heart was broken, because in the end he managed to turn over a new leaf and come to terms with his life. While reading, I was sure that that character would remain unhappy till the end. So for me it was a big surprise, that Steinbeck gave his character a new chance.

1. I'm writing this letter to you, so you know that I am safe. The police are LOOKING INTO the matter of my case. 2. Hope, they won't FIND OUT, because now I try to SEE ABOUT what you said to me last time. 3. How are you? Have you RAN OUT OF milk or something? I miss home. 4. I know, that things may be hard now, but it'll be worth IN THE LONG RUN. 5. But, please, wait for me and don't TURN DOWN the promotion, if Tom suggests. 6. I'm LOOKING FORWARD to hearing from you.

| If you were about to buy a house, what sort of things would you want to look at first?
Two years ago we had to renovate an absolutely empty apartment, there were not even walls. Of course, this is not a house which is much more difficult and takes longer to build, but I think it is a similar experience. It all started with the search for builders. It turned out to be quite difficult as we turned down almost all construction crews due to a limited budget. So it quickly became obvious that most of the repairs will have to be done by ourselves. But despite this, my husband and I turned out to be a good team, because I came up with ideas and he brought them to life. First of all, we started with a detailed schematic of our apartment. It was necessary to think over every socket and switch. We consulted with sisters and brothers, parents and familiar builders. It became clear that we would be doing repairs for a very long time, since we only had enough money for wiring electricity and water. But we looked on the bright side. And six months later we moved into the apartment, although there was only a bathtub and a toilet from the furniture. We slept on a mattress and ate only takeaway food. But in June it will be a year, of course, not everything is ready yet, but we worked very productively in our free time and furnished the apartment with love and just as we wanted. We spent on it all our money and holidays but I guess it’s worth it.

| Has your home ever been broken into? What happened?
Unfortunately, it is a very sad story. Fifteen years ago, we went on a family holiday. While we were enjoying our vacation strangers broke into our house.
It was quite a dramatic experience for us because the robbers took out the safe that held all our family jewelry. It broke my grandma’s heart because all the jewelry belonged to her grandma. It was our family heirloom, but now everything is lost. Unfortunately, these things happen and it's another reminder from life that you can't get attached to earthly things because they can be lost very easily.

| 1) I used to LOOK FORWARD to a lot of things, such as to finish school, to grow up, to graduate from the uni. 2) But now I try not to TURN DOWN the present and to live life to the fullest. 3) Becoming older, I understood that an ability to LOOK ON THE BRIGHT side is very important .
