Home Sweet Home Essay
There Is No Place Like Home
Every person has a place which he treats differently than any other, the place where he feels more comfortable than anywhere else. It is not exactly the place where the person lives – it may be some house or flat from the past, for example, the one he or she lived during childhood in. But what is so specific about it that it plays such an important role in the culture of many nations of the world?
I think, it is because a person’s home serves as the best reflection of a personality on the outside world. One cannot live somewhere for years without leaving a kind of trail, a kind of residue of oneself. You can judge about the majority of people simply looking at the way they decorate – or, speaking about it, do not decorate – the place where they are living. It probably won’t give you any useful information, but still may be helpful in terms of overall impression.
The concept of home has a very important position in some cultures. Englishmen, for example, are particularly attached to their homes; a famous proverb “My house is my fortress” originates in England and in the beginning had quite a direct foundation – a person couldn’t even have been arrested in his own house. Even now there is hardly any place where a person may feel more secure and protected from the dangers of the outer world
The biggest dream in my life is to visit the UK. I`d like to stay in countries such as England, Scotland and Wales. London is the capital of England and there are many sights such as the Thames, Tower Bridge, Big Ben, etc. Britain is an amazing country. It hasn`t contact with the European mainland. Britain is an island in the sea. Previously believed, that Britain was the mightiest sea power. I think that now it`s still the same. Of course, Britain is not the only great power. Do not forget about such powers as France, Russia and the United States, but the United Kingdom, on my opinion, is the best of all.
A lot of tourists come in Britain, as in many civilized countries. There are many cognitive museums and attractions in England. A lot of migrating people often come in the UK from all over Europe, because they can get a very good education there. There are the most famous universities such as Harvard University, Oxford and Liverpool universities.
But in each country there are pluses and minuses. Plus, for example, in Russia is that it`s a huge parcel of land in the country, in the fact that people are always united and they have a Russian soul. But there are drawbacks. The downside is that mass unemployment goes in Russia. In Russia, more than in other countries alcohol is consumed. Similarly, this situation is in the UK. There are pluses and minuses. But despite this, my biggest dream in life remains the same, to go to the UK and possibly studying there.
