Is it important that people stay informed?
There are many ways for people to stay informed. You can watch news on television, you can read it in newspapers or in the internet and you can hear on the radio. I think it is very important for people to stay informed.
I think nobody should close his or her eyes from reality and what is happening in the world. Especially when there is so much war and crime in the world it is important that everyone has the possibility to get informed because than we have the chance to change something. I think there are many interesting news like local news about what is happening in your neighborhood and country, also interesting are news which concern the whole world and every person that lives on this world, like the global warming or wars and politic changes.
But I also have to say that there are information’s on television, in newspapers… which are called news turning round stars and “VIP´s” and they have in my opinion nothing to do with news. Sometimes you get information´s about fashion trends from stars or you have some topics for small-talk and so this “news” can also be interesting for some people.
I think news are also important for education, if we think of a world where are no television or internet we would know nothing what would going on and that would be dramatically. In our time everyone have the possibility to inform oneself about he or she wants and that is great.
To conclude, in my opinion it is important to stay informed, but not everything what is called news is necessary for our population.

Dear Mr. Burger,
Application for the au pair agency
I am writing to you regarding the job as an au pair in London. I am twenty and have just finished with the Matura. Before I will start with the college I want to work a year as an au pair boy.
Last summer I looked after a three-year-old boy in Austria for about three months.
I really like to work and play with children and I would be very attractive for me to work for you next year, because before I start with college I want to see something form the world and I think it would be a good start if I have the chance to stay for a few months in London.
If you have any questions you can write me or call mi on via my cell phone, 333-333-3333. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to an answer from you.
Sincerely,

Suddenly the police stop them and one of the policeman hold a gun at Tre’s face.In Austria: That’s also like the situation here. It can also be that such a situation happens by us.

Drugs, alcohol, guns came from white people. It’s them making profits.In Austria: We don’t have a gun problem but the drugs and alcohol come from rich white people and are consumed by poor Austrians or Immigrants.
Black people are interested in keeping their family together. Family, friendship, community -->Brotherhood.In Austria: Turkish people are interested in keeping their family. They don’t talk with white people, they don’t have a white community and they count themselves out

Correction: Task A
We live in a world of perfection and beauty. That is a fact. For many people means this “Struggle for Beauty” and that is not really good. In this essay I want to show you the pro and con aspects of this struggle.
The positive aspects of making use of any means available to keep or achieve beauty seem to be far away. But they are not. One means would be fashion and fashion have a lot of good aspects, for example it creates many workplaces for people, it´s also a positive aspect that people who don´t have the time to go to gym or to do a diet can conceal his or her body. A second means would be dieting or a healthy diet. If you try to lose weight with a diet you have a lot to do. But maybe you can see some results for example that you feel healthy. And one last means I want to list is surgery. A positive aspect of surgery would be that when you had an accident and your face is burned you may get a operation that everything makes like before.
Of course there are also many negative aspects to this struggle. When surgery becomes normal for everyone like everyone has breakfast, which would be a very negative aspect because it would mean that a normal human can´t be beautiful. Also fashion has negative aspects, for example the child labor or the exploitation for poor people. Even diet has negative aspects, because when you make it in a wrong way you may harm yourself or get anorexia that wouldn´t be really healthy or beautiful.
May own attitude to this topic is, that fashion is important, I like to wear cloth which good for my figure and I think it´s a good way to express my attitude to beauty. There are too many “fat” people who can´t dress themselves, I can´t understand why are they walking around looking so ugly. I never had done a diet so I haven’t really an attitude to this specific topic but I think if you are shabby and you want to lose weight it´s positive when you make a healthy diet. And surgery I think is good, when the people practice it in a normal way. I don´t know if I would have it but it´s good to have the possibility.
So to conclude this essay, to keep or achieve beauty is not always a struggle. People should do what they want and they should look like they want.

City life vs. country life
When we think about the life in a city or the life in the country, we have certain opinions about this topic. On the one hand there are people, who live in a country, who want to have more action and a better party life, so they want to life in a city. But on the other hand there are also many people in a city, who want back to nature and more silence, so they want to live on the countryside. So witch is the better place to live? City or Country?
Let‘s compare a city and a country life and take a look at the positive aspects of living in a country. Fist of all there is clean and fresh air and you have wonderful nature around your house. You can make sport, you have much of happy animals in your life and people who live in the country are less stressed.
One disadvantage of country life is that public transports are rare and the way to another village can be very long without a car. There are also not very much places to meet other people so its not easy to get to know new friends.
Also city life has positive and negative aspects. One positive aspect can be that it‘s very easy to come from „A“ to „B“ that makes you flexible and brings me to my second positive aspect, that you have in a city never the problem to meet friends.
Negative aspects are for example much traffic, no good air, the stress and that it‘s always laud around you.
To conclude I can‘t say witch life is better, everyone have to make there own choice of place he/she want to live.
