Do you think it is a dangerous thing to judge about a nation by existing stereotypes?

Use
specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Stereotypes are the things in which we trust, but we dont know if theyre true or not.
Sometimes it is dangerous to judge somebody by using stereotypes, because we can hurt those
people. I think its the same thing with a nation. In our world there are many stereotypes such as :
russians drink very much, moldovans can only build , or americans eat only fast-food. But people are
made up of different people. If we see some russians that drink vodka or other alcoholic drinks it
doesnt mean that all the ussians drink, because there are many russian people who are very smart.
Of we say this phrase we can russian people and as an answer we will battered , violated physically,
morrally, or those persons will hurt us as a response. The same think is with the moldovans. Our
country is poor one, but we have very intelligent people. We go to Moskow, Italy or other places to
work as builders, baby-sitters or do other not very paid professions , because we are discrimintared.
I think that to judge a nation using stereotypes is discriminations and as a response other
people will hurt us later.
Choose one of the characters you remember well from your favourite book(s). Describe
him/her.
One of my favourite books is The Three Musketeers , written by Alexander Dumas. It is an
interesting novel that attracted me very much.
One of its main characters is DArtagnan , a twenty-six years-old man from Gascony. He has
an important role in this novel, because he is very smart and he knows how to overpass difficult
situations by using his brains. He is a musketeer that makes friends very easy. He knows how to
handle many types of swords and has many capacities. He is respectable, because he respects his
colleagues and he has never battered his servant, thing non-characteristic for that times. He never
betrays his friends , because he has a good education, he is polite and has values that he tries to
follow. He thinks rationally and the truth has a grand role in his life. He is loyal to his work. What is
specific for him is the fact that he is a real gentleman, which helps him to make money very easy,
especially from women. He knows how to be a good personality for all his friends and acquaintances.
He is a model that should be followed by many of us.
Different countries have reputations for being good at different sports. Think of some
examples.
People like sport and its normally. Basket, cricket , football , soccer, hockey , baseball all
these types of sport are practiced all over the world. A country is made of people and it has a
reputation for being good at one type of sport. For example: the U.S.A. are well known for National
Basketball Association (NBA), which plays basketball better than other teams from Europe and Asia.
Even if the hockey was invented in the U.S.A. , it is played more in Finland, where Snowboard Team
Finland is the best team and has many medals obtained from different competitions in Europe, U.S.
and Asia. The most practiced sport is soccer, played in many states as : Mexico, Central America,
South America , Africa and Asia, but the most important teams are situated in Europe :England
Liverpool, Chelsea , Italy-AC Milan .
People practice sport all over the world, but what they practice depends on the conditions of
the environment.

Can you name any place in Great Britain which is internationally known? What is it noted for?
Loch Ness is one of the places of Great Britain that is internationally known. It is situated in
Scotland. It is a large, deep, freshwater loch in the Scottish Highlands. Its deepest point is 230m. It
contains more fresh water than all the lakes in England and Wales combined. Loch Ness is best
known for the sightings of the crypto zoological Loch Ness Monster, also known as Nessie. It was
brought to the worlds attention in 1933. Evidence of its existence is anecdotal, with minimal and
much-disputed photographic material and sonar readings. The most common speculation among
believers is that the creature represents a line of long-surviving plesiosaurs. The scientific community
regards the Loch Ness Monster as a modern-day myth.
Speak about one of the holidays celebrated in Great Britain/Moldova/the USA in greater
detail.
Easter is one of the most celebrated holidays all over the world. In the United States of
America many churches hold special services on Easter Sunday, which celebrate the Jesus Christ's
resurrection after his crucifixion. Many people decorate eggs. These can be hard boiled eggs that can
be eaten later, but may also be model eggs made of plastic, chocolate, candy or other materials. It is
also common to organize Easter egg hunts. Eggs of some form are hidden, supposedly by a rabbit or
hare. People, especially children, then search for them. In some areas, Easter egg hunts are a popular
way for local businesses to promote themselves or may even be organized by churches.
In the UK Easter is one of the major Christian festivals of the year. It is full of customs,
folklore and traditional food. Easter eggs, Easter Rabbit (Easter Bunny) and sending Easter cards are
old traditions. The cards are often in green or yellow or show baby animals, because lots of animals
are born in spring. Nevertheless, feasting, games, fun and egg-hunt does make for an important part
of their Easter observance too. Easter customs like egg rolling, performing Pace Egg plays, Morris
dancing and display of Easter bunny form the major attractions of Easter celebrations in the UK.
Easter is one of the most important holidays in Moldova. During Easters night people go to
church to show their respect for Jesus Christ and to celebrate the Jesus Christ's resurrection after his
crucifixion. People decorate eggs in different colours, especially in red and make special cakes named
pasca . Some of people send cards, especially painted in green, which means the reinassance of the
nature. When people brake eggs they say : Hristos a Inviat!/ Adevarat a inviat , which mean Christ
is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!. It is one of the most important religious holidays.
How would you describe your country or region and the people who live there?
Moldova is a country situated in the Eastern Europe , with a population of about 3 milion
people. It is a small country with a weak economy , but it has a beautiful history and many beautiful
places. There are many churches and monasteries : Capriana, Japca, Hincu, Tipova. These

Moldova is a country where people practice agriculture. Moldovans are very hospitable, even if they
dont have a high level of culture. They are hardworking and they know how to overpass many
problems. Moldova is well-known for its beautiful girls and hospitable housewives.

Many people think that Moldova is a poor country. Yes, it is, but the people living here have a
golden heart and the landscapes of Moldova cannot be seen in other places. Moldova is a unique
country.
Tourism is becoming increasingly important as a source of revenue to many countries but
its disadvantages shouldnt be overlooked. Use specific reasons and examples to support your
answer.
Tourism is one of the main sources of revenue in different countries. Tourist preffer to visit
ruined cities, water falls, sanctuaires, botanical gardens and sandy beaches. Tourism creates a large
number of employment opportunities. Thousands of our youth work in tourist hotels. The places that
are visited can sell their products at a high price, which increases the level of economy. Many people
come and make donations for the maintenance of different cultural monuments, which helps people
a lot. Many people come and makes possible the exchange between different cultures. But the
industry of tourism has also negative effects. This industry affects peoples culture, especially the
culture of young people. It may be a negative part, because the youth is the future of a country, and
if it is influenced incorrectly, it can be harmful. Some of tourists addict drugs and they are not
punished. This factor increases the addiction of drugs in the country. Tourists destroy the
environment and if the government doesnt make rules, and doesnt punish the infractors, the
habitat of animals and plants will be destroyed. Tourists shouldnt be seen as black sheeps, because
they develop the economy of the state.
