Employers do not want to engage students because they do not have special experience. Therefore, students wonder where they have to receive such necessary experience. 
Today many of companies offer internships for students. The main problem is that internships are usually unpaid. Should students spend their time on preparation for the real job, but without wage? Anya Kamenetz in her article "Take this internship and shove it" said that internship is only simulation, but not a real practice. Moreover, she explained disadvantages of unpaid internship and made it clear that students can only waste their time during internships. I do not agree with her position.
In my opinion it is essential to apply for internships because you will find out a lot of useful things at the time of your practice. Of course your success depends on your efforts so it is absolutely ok if you work free. You need to work for skills but not for money. Jennifer Halperin in her article "No pay? Many interns say,'No problem'" wrote about advantages of unpaid internship. She mentioned experiences of students and there was a very interesting phrase "unpaid internships are worth it because you are building experience and contacts". 
The main goal of internships is to gain experience and professional skills.

   "Women's place in the kitchen" these words often say men when they arguing with some women. Women often can be aggrieved about these words, because they want to show that it is not their only ability. I agree that we can do much more than cooking, but it is wrong to apprehend cooking as a routine. 
   I really enjoy cooking, particularly something not common like omelet. My personal history of cooking began when I was about 12 years old. Once we, me and my friend, decided to find any recipe on the Internet and try to cook it. To tell the truth we made something look like oatmeal instead of cake. It was our first attempt to become cooks and we continued our experiments. 
   Of course I cannot say that I am excellent cook, but I liked to make something delicious using ordinary products. Also I liked to find new recipes, make something that I have not done before. For example, three weeks ago, me and my friend, find out that it is not very hard to make sushi and rolls. 


   I think describing all of my cakes, deserts and so on, will take a lot of time, so it will be better to share some photos.
Enjoy!

   Today I want to compare my two friends and to find out their similarities and differences.  I have never thought before about them in detail, so it will be quite interesting. 

    I don’t want to mention their names; I think it will be more correct.
   The point I want to discus is their characters. D is rather funny girl, she is always ready for something crazy and if I want to write a book about our stories with my friend D its size will be as large as the size of «War and Peace» by Leo Tolstoy. D is very friendly and reliable person, so I can pin D  ̓s hopes.  D is a rectilinear person and she wouldn’t keep silence if she doesn’t like something.
   What about my friend L? She is quite shy and you always need to stir her up. She is very considerate towards her friends and I know if I have some problems I can ask her an advice. As a contrast with D she is more inclined to adjust to a situation than to say that she doesn’t like something.
    I cannot say that my friends are similar to each other, but they have one great common feature – me as a friend.

8. Friends



   This year is very important for us, freshmen, because our life has changed heavily. We have not only finished school and entered university, but we met a lot of new people and moved away of our school friends.
   
   We have a lot of funny stories with my friends, and I can say that we were like a big family. When we met all together about two weeks ago we felt like we had not parted for a minute. We had a lot of themes to talk about; we laughed and bantered with each other like we did always. However, I am afraid that we can hold away from each other and it is very sad. Now we haven’t much time to go somewhere together because everybody has a new university company, a bunch of cases and so on.
I’m sure that we will never forget our time that we spent together, but there is a possibility that we will not make new stories to remember about.
  
 I think that this topic is quite sad, so I want to add some photos that convey a good mood and memories.

   






 I want to believe that such break in our friendship, so to speak, is temporary because I cannot imagine my life without my lovely dolts:)
