What makes an ideal husband / wife?

An ideal wife or husband would be a person who is an ideal companion. Does it appear that I am running around in circles? I hope it does not. Though the traditional role of a husband is different from that of a wife, the qualities of a person are not sex-oriented, they are person-oriented. What do I want in the person I marry? My list may be a long one: but it is sound in its priorities. I want the man I choose as a husband to be generous, to have a sense of humor and to be trusting and trustworthy. I would like to build our relationship on affection and respect.

Affection (привязанность) and respect put together are the essence of love. They are more durable than the euphoria of romantic love linked to physical attraction. It is true that beauty contributes a great deal towards life's pleasantness, but unreflecting, unthinking beauty has nothing to recommend itself. What is perhaps welcome is a general smartness of behavior and looks, but there may be cases when this is also shelved to the background. Respect in a relationship is very important, and note I mean respect, not awe or fear or any other feeling but respect which includes self-respect and can be stretched a long way to cover the crevices of feelings.I would like my future husband to be frank with me and to discuss financial, emotional and other problems with me...

Talk about the most important events in your life.

The most important event in my life was when I graduated from my school. I think so, because it was the ending of the first step of my life and it was the beginning of the new part of my life.

When I was 6-years old girl, I thought, that 17-years old people are adult and independent. But when I reached this age, I realized that it’s not true. Because I understood that I just can’t live without support of my family and they are playing too important roles in my life. Graduation was something amazing in my short life. It was so exciting to wear a very beautiful dress, to do nice hairstyle and dance waltz with my classmate. I think I will never forget the moment, when our

Schoolmaster gave me my certificate and suddenly I realized that I will not return to school the following September. The adult world, real life was so scary to me before. Now it was accepted and I was excited for it.

Graduation, because of many events beforehand, was the most important event of my life, and will probably remain so.

Which do you prefer – to travel by plane or by train? Give your reasons.

I think plane is better than train for travel to everyplace.

First of all, plane is more convenient and comfortable for passenger. For example, on the plane there are many airline hostesses to serve, take care and help tourist but on the train there aren’t receptionist to help passenger when they have problem. Moreover, airplanes have good security system. For instance, airports have modern systems to take care of security of passengers. Before boarding the plane, staff will check supplies to protect from accident but railway station staff will not check supplies passenger can bring all supplies get on a train. And travel by airplane is faster. Planes can help passengers save time very well such as passengers traveling by plane use less time, so they have more time for sight seeing.

People should travel by plane because airplanes are convenient, have good security system and can help people save time very well.

Speak about the most famous hotels in the world.

The idea of staying in luxury hotels is something that many of us find very attractive. There are some truly impressive luxury hotels around the globe and I want to talk about one of the most famous hotels in the world - The Plaza Hotel.

It is located on the corner of 5th Avenues and 59th Street in Manhattan,New York City. In its time, the Plaza Hotel was a big building - but over the years it has been gradually surrounded by modern tower blocks and skyscrapers. It is still, however, one of New York's most famous luxury hotels. On its opening night, a room would have cost a modest 2.50 US dollars. Today the same room would cost around 3750 US dollars.

The Plaza Hotel offers 282 distinctive guestrooms, including 102 luxurious suites, which boast the largest square footage of any luxury hotel in New York City. From the sumptuous décor to the impeccable white glove service, The Plaza is an extraordinary hotel that offers every indulgence. For guests, The Plaza is pleased to offer Butler Service 24 hours a day.

In my mind, Plaza is the most luxury hotel in the world.

Talk about one of the most interesting natural areas in you country.

I think Kazakhstan is really beautiful country with very special nature. There are a lot of mountains, wonderful lakes and long rivers here. But one of the most well-known natural areas in our country is Borabay or Borovoye. Situated 250km north of Astana, the Burabay area has been termed the ‘Kazakh Switzerland’. It’s really beautiful place with spectacular mountains and unforgettable nature. The lake has very clean water with a lot of sorts of fish.

Borovoye, one of the finest summer and winter retsorts anywhere in the world. This complex will include magnificent hotels, villas, residences, casinos, a congress center, trading and business centers, yachting and mountain skiing, spa, leisure and sports complexes, noble restaurants, bars and cafés and grand equestrian estates for the horse breeders of the world. Borovoye Lakes will become an international symbol of hospitality and an icon of Kazakh spirit for the whole world to discover the beauty and heritage of this great land.

I have never been there before, but see this lake in the future is one of my dreams.

The world is a book, and those who do not travel, read only a page”. Do you agree with this statement?

I completely agree with this quote. As I know, this is a quote of St. Augustine. I think it’s true, because we can read about anything and everything, online or in paper, but it will never be the same as living it in the flesh.

I strongly believe real knowledge of other cultures is the key to understanding and respecting our fellow human beings. You don’t have to like them, but at least give them a chance to show you what they are all about. Saying you don’t like your neighbor just because really does not count. Have a reason and know why by experience. Agree to disagree.

There are so many places of interest, historical monuments and unknown areas that people can explore our planet endlessly. Some people tell that it is much more interesting to travel around the world; others believe that there is much to be seen in their own country. Both of these opinions make sense. I believe, therefore, that travelling abroad has more advantages.
To conclude, the way I see it, travelling abroad is the best way to learn new things, discover new places and develop as a person. After all, the saying ‘The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page” is definitely true.

 

Talk about one of your bad holiday experiences. Say where you were, when it happened, then describe what happened to you in detail.

The worst holiday in my life was when I was 14 years old. It was in summer, I decided to spend my summer holidays with my best friends in the Summer camp “Turksib”.

The beginning of our journey was very exciting. We got on a bus with other children. I saw a lot of unknown faces. There were children from whole schools of our city, they talked a lot with each other. But when the bus arrived at the camp, I realized it was not what I expected. But everything was fine, because my friends were by my side. After the arrival counselors told us the rules of the camp, everything was clear, we were divided into groups. When evening came, the troops sent to lodges, I saw that my bed was too short for me! I said about it to our counselor, but she had no time for me. I was very shy, so I didn’t tell her for the second time. And it was the worst night in my life. The second day was very boring too and the camp was very uncomfortable. There weren’t any shower.

I returned to home after three days. And I was very glad to be at home.
