1.   Dependent on computers

The computer is a machine that manipulates data according to the list of instructions. It is able to process much more information than we do, but there is a huge distances between man and computer, because we have feelings, different moods, instead the artificial intelligence.
   Nowadays, almost anybody has a personal computer. Some of us spend a lot of time in front of the PC, and that is not necessary wrong, but it depends of what you are doing during that time. There are a lot of very interesting and actual articles that we can’t find in magazines in our country, not even in libraries, but we can read them thanks to the Internet.
   But many peoples play games on the computer all day long, or night by night, instead of reading a novel, going to the theatre or have a walk.
   If you spend so much time in front of your computer, you can lose your actual friendships, and you become unable to do new ones. More than this computer affects your sight.
   There are a lot of advantages using computer, as visiting virtual museums, we can order books, or even virtual books, navigating on the Internet, and not only. We can listen to music and see a lot of movies, reducing the costs. Many of us use the E-mail to keep in touch with friends or relatives from aboard, and in this way we pay less than we should, speaking on the phone. We also need computers for some of our homework’s and projects.
   For a computer to be really useful, but even more dangerous too, you should connect to the Internet, because it helps us to get actual information faster and easier.
   In conclusion, the computers can be very useful and they play a very important role in the discoveries that the modern science has be doing for years.

2. Do you agree with the idea that children should be raised by their grandparents?
The first years of childhood are very important in building up of personality and it can let deep marks for the behavior of the child. From the old times the grandchildren are raised by their grandparents because the young parents are forced to supply the basic needs for survive.
There are important contrasts between the way that the parents used to raise their children and the methods used by grandparents, because there are great differences between the two mentalities caused by the age distinction.
Even if I don’t think that the best way for educating a child to according the main role to the grandparents, we can denied that there are also few advantages like the experience of an elder man, maybe they have done some mistakes in educating their sons, and now we can imagine that they are able to avoid them. More than this, the young parents are forced to work to earn enough money against the pensionaries that have much more free time and that’s why they have enough time for apply oneself to the education for the children.
But in the same time there are many advantages for the parents to raise their children, as they are: the approach between the parents and their children which implies a less big difference between the lines of thoughts of the younger and the elder. And I really think that the parents are more familiar with the reality of the world which we all live. In the same time, there is a better connection in the relationship between a child and his parents than any other one.
But all in all, when you, as a young parent, have your son are not going to think about the advantages and disadvantages. Of course, it is more than normally to desire to be the one who raises his own child. Even if fairly you can realize that the elder ones are more in condition than you to help you, spending a lot of time with your sons, you wish to learn the little ones in doing the first steps in his life.

3. Damage of the environment
It is said that pollution of the environment is a result of development of industry, global warming, greenhouse effects and a lot of reasons like this. People must do something to save the earth, to drop pollution which is the principal effect of self destruction, extinct animals and forest extinction.
Pollution is a serious problem for us because it concerns all of the people and we must take measures in this case.
For first we need to think about our healthy and to protect the nature. We should have ecological actions, for example to buy ecological cars, to smoke ecological cigarettes, to clean the green spaces and to implicate us in some voluntary ecological organizations.
 Most of us are thinking more to money than healthy and they don’t think about consequences. For them the business is so important that they are able to violate the laws.
 I would suggest that people should have more responsibilities like economy energy, recycle the paper, etc.
In conclusion I think that people must have more care of nature, and take more measures about air pollution.

5. Television

Nowadays television plays an important role in our society. It is well know that people use television in order to get informed, relaxed on entertained day by day.
Watching TV is the best way to get informed, from daily news reports, political talk-shows or animal shows, the variety of the channels offers a wide range of chooses. However, some news reports represent a source of violence and hate by presented in almost every movie seen on TV. The majority of the people that watch such movies are teenagers who ignore their parents’ instruction and the  age restriction mentioned before the program.
Television is one of the greatest inventions of mankind, but, because of those  who consider money the most important thing in the world it has become a business and a way of manipulating people.
In my opinion we should choose carefully the programs we watch on TV, and pay also attention to what the children are watching, in order to protect them from being influenced in a negative way.

6. Changes-hometown

   I live in Iasi, a beautiful, cultural town with beautiful places to visit. I am glad to talk about my hometown anytime, but I have to say that is not a perfect town because it has its bad aspects. For instance if I would change something it will be for our health, making a cleaner town with more parks and gardens, and I definitely improve the medicine quality because treatments are the only hope for those who are sick.
   I know it’s a hard thing to realize but I strongly believe it is our duty to improve our lives starting with our behavior and finishing with how we transmit our ideals to our children, because they represent the future.
   A last thing to say is that changes are difficult but if we all make a little right step everyday,  we can change the entire world surely.

7. Money is anything that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services. The main uses of money are as a medium of exchange.
First off all, until discussing about the subject of earning or saving money for the future, we have to point out few things. The way we see the problem of money, the way we win or spend them, depends of age, education and mentality. I don't think that a millionaire or even a common man from West European Country would discuss about this as a poor man from Africa or India would do it.
There are, of course, advantages and disadvantages too, in spending a large part of money that we win. To have a good capability in anything we do, work, study, even in our every day relationships, we need to save a part of our time only for ourselves, and that involves some expenditures.
   But, excluding the very rich ones who have no need to assure their financial future, we always have to keep apart a sum of our income if we want to be able to buy a series of important things, or to have a family.
   But those two different aspects of the problem discussing about are not excluding one by another because we are sometimes needed to save money even for enjoying our free time, for example, if we want to spend our holidays abroad or even in our country.
   Let's speak now about the first side of the problem: spending money. Of course, we always have to think about our future, but, if we do it without to sees the day we could even forget to live. One of the bywords I have always loved is the Latin "Carpe diem". We always have to remain, somehow, in equilibrium, other way we risk to lose our health, friends or social status.
   There is an important difference between receiving money from our parents and to earn them by ourselves, because when we work for them, we start to understand their real value. Of course, in the second situation we're going to think twice about the way we spend our money.
   All in all, that is not the kind of subject to discuss in few minutes because it depends from one man to another: we can easily realize that an artist, a painter for example, should never give the same answer to this question as a business man would. More than this, there are not very few people who don't need money or even hate them; let's just think about the monks.
