Friendship is a very complicated meaning.  Nowadays it’s getting hard to be real friends.  You can have many different friends, but the best friend is enough the one. Best friends are the people in your life that make you laugh louder, smile brighter, and live better. But actually lately I became pretty much skeptic and sarcastic about it. Best friends might not be those people who make you laugh and so on, but the ones who are beside you when you need support and care.  Sometimes your best friend makes you suffer or hurt you. And the most important things are the hardest to say. Sometimes people who are far from you now can make you feel better than people right beside you.  That’s way I need to consider better who are  just friends and who are the best ones for me.

Environmental pollution is one of the most important problem of our time. Nowadays everyone knows what acid rain and greenhouse effect mean. In my country, like everywhere in the world, people have done terrible things that have badly damaged the nature. As a result, today it’s dangerous to eat fish that was caught in the river or mushrooms that were picked in the woods  because they may be contaminated. Not only animals but many plants become extinct. I think the richly varied flora and fauna of our planet is beautiful and we want to preserve it that way. There are also practical reasons for protecting nature. I’m sure that scientists and ecologists in many countries are working on solution of the ecological problems.
