| ENGLISH STATE EXAM |
| 1 | english state exam topics 1. environmental concerns is it the very time to change our attitude to the planet? environmental concerns have become one of the most pressing issues of the 21st century. climate change, pollution, deforestation and the excessive use of plastic affect both nature and people's quality of life. in my view, now is the right time to change our attitude to the planet because environmental problems are becoming more and more noticeable. |
| 2 | a recent example that impressed me was the oil spill near anapa on the black sea coast. after two tankers were damaged during a storm in december 2024, a large amount of oil polluted the beaches and created a serious threat to marine wildlife. however, what impressed me most was the reaction of ordinary people. thousands of volunteers from different parts of russia came to the affected areas to clean the coastline, remove polluted sand and save birds covered in oil. |
| 3 | i believe that this example shows the importance of personal responsibility. environmental protection is often seen as the responsibility of governments and large organisations, but the events in anapa showed that ordinary citizens can also make a significant contribution. although the authorities also participated in dealing with the consequences of the disaster, many volunteers believed that additional support and better coordination were necessary. |
| 4 | their dedication and willingness to help became a vivid example of civic engagement. personally, i believe that every person can contribute to protecting the environment. we can recycle waste, reduce plastic use, save electricity and make more environmentally friendly choices in everyday life. these actions may seem small, but together they can make a significant difference. to conclude, protecting the planet is no longer simply an environmental issue but a question of our future. |
| 5 | the story of the volunteers in anapa proves that people are ready to act when nature is in danger. in my view, real change begins when people understand that they are responsible for the world around them. 2. beauty standards beauty standards and how to react to them beauty standards have always existed, but nowadays they have become especially influential. social media, advertising and celebrities often show us an image of a perfect person. |
| 6 | as a result, many people start comparing themselves to others and may become dissatisfied with their appearance. in my opinion, social media has a particularly strong influence on modern beauty standards. people usually post their best photos online, and these pictures are often edited or carefully selected. however, we tend to forget about it and compare our everyday appearance with someone else's perfect online image. |
| 7 | this can have a negative effect on people's self-esteem. some people become too focused on their weight, face or body shape. they may believe that they need to change their appearance in order to be attractive or successful. i think this attitude can be harmful because appearance is only one part of a person. at the same time, i don't think that caring about your appearance is a bad thing. there is nothing wrong with exercising, choosing clothes that make you feel confident or taking care of yourself. |
| 8 | the problem begins when the desire to look good turns into constant pressure to meet unrealistic standards. personally, i believe that the healthiest approach is to accept yourself while still taking care of your body and health. instead of trying to look like somebody else, people should concentrate on becoming the best version of themselves. to conclude, beauty standards will probably always exist, but we can decide how much influence they have on us. |
| 9 | in my view, real attractiveness comes not only from appearance but also from confidence, personality and the way we treat other people. 3. money issues the importance of financial literacy money plays an important role in modern life. we need it to pay for housing, food, education, healthcare and entertainment. however, earning money is not enough. people also need to know how to manage it properly. |
| 10 | that is why financial literacy is so important. financial literacy means understanding how to manage your income and expenses, create a budget, save money and avoid unnecessary debt. these skills can help people feel more confident about their financial future. one of the most important financial habits is planning a budget. if people know how much money they earn and spend every month, it becomes easier to control their expenses. |
