1. Travel memories
2. Animal lover magazine
3. Travel to stars
4. Star dreams
5. Popular hobby
6. Family magazine
7. People and nature
8. Animals in dangerA. Most people who spend a holiday travelling take a camera with them and photograph anything that interests them – sights of a city, views of mountains, lakes, waterfalls, men and women, children, ruins of ancient buildings, and even birds and animals. Later looking through their albums they will remember the happy time they have had, the islands, countries and cities they have seen.
B. Of course, different people dream of different things. Someone wishes a calm and quiet life; others imagine their life as a never-ending adventure. The majority dream of something concrete: a villa in some warm place, an account in a Swiss bank, a splendid car… It’s interesting to know what the dreams of people who already have all this are. Celebrities, as we know, never hide their unusual hobbies, and often shock us with their extravagant behaviour.
C. It is Junior Baseball Magazine’s mission to provide information that enhances the youth baseball experience for the entire family. The player improves his skills and is more successful. The family enjoys the activity more and shares this precious time in their life. Junior Baseball emphasizes good sportsmanship,
safety, physical fitness and wholesome family values.D. The seas are in danger. They are filled with poison like industrial, nuclear and chemical waste. The Mediterranean Sea is already nearly dead; the North Sea is following it. The Aral Sea is on the brink of extinction. If nothing is done about it, one day nothing will be able to live in the seas. Every ten minutes one
species of animal, plant or insect dies out forever.E. Lots of people all over the world enjoy collecting stamps. Stamps are like little pictures. Very often they show the flowers or the trees which grow in this or that country, or they can show different kinds of transport of the country. Stamps may also have portraits of famous people on them. Some stamps show art work from the history of the country.
F. “Friend” is the title of my favourite magazine. It consists of 70 pages, with lots of colourful and bright pictures and provides interesting and useful information for people who love animals. The magazine includes numerous articles devoted to various topics connected with domestic animals, ways to take care of them, pet food, animal health and many other topics crucial for any animal lover.
G. People are beginning to realize that environmental problems are not just somebody else’s. Many people join and support various international organizations and green parties. What could be more important than human life? Polluted air, poisoned water, wastelands, noise, smoke – all these influence not only nature but people as well. Everything should be done to improve ecological conditions on our planet.

Why I sent Oxford a rejection letter
A little over a month ago, I sent Oxford a rejection email that parodied the
thousands that they send each year. Much to my surprise, it has become a bit of an
Internet hit, and has provoked reactions of both horror and amusement.In my letter I wrote: «I have now considered your establishment as a place to
read Law (Jurisprudence). I very much regret to inform you that I will be
withdrawing my application. I realize you may be disappointed by this decision,
but you were in competition with many fantastic universities and following your
interview, I am afraid you do not quite meet the standard of the universities I will
be considering.»I sent the email after returning from my interview at Magdalen College,
Oxford, to prove to a couple of my friends that Oxbridge did not need to be held in
awe. One of them subsequently shared it on Facebook because he found it funny.I certainly did not expect the email to spread as far as it has. Varying
between offers of TV interviews and hundreds of enthusiastic Facebook messages,
it has certainly been far-reaching. Many of my friends and undoubtedly many
strangers were unable to comprehend that I’d sent such an email to this bastion of
prestige and privilege. Why was I not afraid of damaging my future prospects as
a lawyer? Didn’t I think this might hurt my chances with other universities?For me, such questions paint a picture of a very cynical society. I do not
want to study law because I want to be rich, or wear an uncomfortable wig and
cloak. Perhaps optimistically, I want to study law because I am interested in
justice.To me, withdrawing my application to an institution that is a symbol of
unfairness in both our education and the legal system (which is so dominated by
Oxbridge graduates) makes perfect sense, and I am reluctant to be part of a system
so heavily dominated by such a narrow group of self-selecting elites.So, why did I apply in the first place? If you’re achieving high grades at
A-level (or equivalent), you can feel quite a lot of pressure to «prove yourself» by
getting an Oxbridge offer. Coupled with the fact that I grew up on benefits in
council estates throughout Bristol – not a type of heritage often associated with an
Oxbridge interview – I decided to give it a try.It was only at the interview that I started to question what exactly I was
trying to prove. I was well aware that fantastic candidates are often turned down,
and I did not believe that this was a true reflection of their academic potential.Although I share concern that not going to Oxbridge gives you a «chip on
your shoulder», I did not write to Oxford to avoid the risk of being labeled as an
«Oxbridge reject»: I already am one. Last year I made an (admittedly weak)
application to Cambridge and was inevitably rejected post-interview.A year ago, I was in awe of the beautiful buildings of Oxbridge, but today

prestige and privilege. Why was I not afraid of damaging my future prospects as
a lawyer? Didn’t I think this might hurt my chances with other universities?For me, such questions paint a picture of a very cynical society. I do not
want to study law because I want to be rich, or wear an uncomfortable wig and
cloak. Perhaps optimistically, I want to study law because I am interested in
justice.To me, withdrawing my application to an institution that is a symbol of
unfairness in both our education and the legal system (which is so dominated by
Oxbridge graduates) makes perfect sense, and I am reluctant to be part of a system
so heavily dominated by such a narrow group of self-selecting elites.So, why did I apply in the first place? If you’re achieving high grades at
A-level (or equivalent), you can feel quite a lot of pressure to «prove yourself» by
getting an Oxbridge offer. Coupled with the fact that I grew up on benefits in
council estates throughout Bristol – not a type of heritage often associated with an
Oxbridge interview – I decided to give it a try.It was only at the interview that I started to question what exactly I was
trying to prove. I was well aware that fantastic candidates are often turned down,
and I did not believe that this was a true reflection of their academic potential.Although I share concern that not going to Oxbridge gives you a «chip on
your shoulder», I did not write to Oxford to avoid the risk of being labeled as an
«Oxbridge reject»: I already am one. Last year I made an (admittedly weak)
application to Cambridge and was inevitably rejected post-interview.A year ago, I was in awe of the beautiful buildings of Oxbridge, but today
I am in awe of the sheer number of people who, like me, have managed to not takeПравильно
