Is it enough money for you

Who does not want to be a millionaire, it is obvious that everyone wants to have a decent financial life, but money is relative and varies from one to another so what I consider as a large sum of money may not be the same case for others.
Even more important than how much money do you have is if are you able to manage it well or not. People must distinguish between the needs and desires, they must arrange their priorities and reduce spending money on luxuries. If I take my self as a bad example for managing money, I spend what I get without thinking of the consequences and I am aware that if I do not hold myself I would confront financial problems in my life.

Euro Trip

It was three years ago when, me, my brother and three of our friends planned to go to a trip in Europe. The plan was to begin from Paris, passing  through Barcelona, Chamonix and finally Clermont.



First of all, we arrived at Charles de Gaulle airport and hired a car heading to Clermont to take some stuff from my brothers' flat because he was living there. Then, we continued our journey and reached Barcelona at four o'clock in the morning. It was a long way and we were exhausted so we went to the flat that we have already booked but they refused to let us in because we were more than they expected and what it was booked for, so we went to a hotel and rested there. We stayed in Barcelona four days and did a lot of things like attendance FC Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid match and going to Port Aventura which is a theme park near the city.







Next, we went to Chamonix, which is a town at the foot of Mont Blank the highest peak in Europe, and on the way we stopped in Geneva for couple of hours. When we arrived to our destination it was night and we were exhausted so we fell asleep. We spent two days in Chamonix, the first day we took a relaxing tour around the town and the next day we went up the Mont Blanc.




After that, we left Mont Blanc for Clermont  and we stayed in my brother flat. After five days in Clermont we returned to Paris and spent the last in it and in the morning we were in the plane heading home.

The Environment

Scientists all over the world say that we are heading to environmental catastrophe if we do not rectify the situation. Of course, neither individuals or governments want to reach the point of no return. However, both sides, especially governments, do not take serious steps avoiding the disaster.

The majority of people do not seem to be very concerned about the environmental condition. Moreover, they do not bother themselves even when it comes to just putting their garbage in the appropriate places. For example, if you take a walk in Colchester town you will find rubbish all over the place. People must know that preservation of the environment means better life for them and for their children.

On the other hand, governments as well do not take the issue of the environment seriously. They must take their responsibilities and play a bigger role in saving the environment. They have to consider environment protection as a priority, so they must enact legislations  deterring people and companies from harming the environment. For instance, the UK government has issued a law that prohibits smoking in public places.  Furthermore, governments should make people aware of the risks resulting from hurting the environment.

In conclusion, despite the fact that individuals are damaging the environment by their actions, the idea that governments do not bear the greatest responsibility is ridiculous. I think that we should work together as a team to achieve the best results.
