Patriotism can be defined as a love for, and devotion to one's country. It can be expressed in
many different ways. Some choose to show patriotism for their country by displaying flags or
national colors. Others demonstrate patriotism by showing appreciation for the diversity found in
their country. People should always be quick to show gratitude for the liberty they enjoy as
citizens of a free nation, free from tyranny and war. As people who have so much to be thankful
for, we have a responsibility to show it.

In today's society, many women feel the need to enter the workforce. As less and less couples
choose to get married, and less women have children, the role of homemaker has become less
respected. Some mothers are even criticized for choosing to stay home; saying that they are
"wasting" their talents and educations by not working. Women often feel an expectation to hold
high-paying jobs or powerful positions, or to be the bread winners in their household, in order to
prove they are as capable as men. But no professional success can compensate for failure in the
home, and good mothers are still desperately needed.

Compared to other countries, it might appear that the U.S.A. does not have many local customs,
and that all 50 states are exactly the same. But the truth, on the contrary, is that there are many
different customs, if you know where to look. For example, there is a drastic difference in the way
Southerners and New Englanders use the words "fried”, "tonic", and "hermit." The way people
greet one another varies from a handshake to a tip of the hat. Each area of the United States has
its own distinctive way of life, and each area is proud of where they come from.

As a way to encourage people's generosity, the government is launching new rules for charity
deduction. Many people believe that any kind of charity can be deducted from their taxes, but
there are many rules and procedures one needs to follow in order to do that, including what kind
of organizations can receive the deductible donations, how much you can deduct, how to report it,
etc. The first step is to check the government website for a list of qualified organizations. The list
includes churches, temples and other religious organizations, Red Cross, Salvation Army, Boy
Scouts, nonprofit schools, etc. You can donate money directly to them or participate in fundraiser
events, but with special rules for the last case. You can even deduct the money you used in order
to volunteer in one of these organizations. But be careful, money donated to individuals cannot be
deducted.

Hello.
My name is Rex and I am looking for a family that would like to adopt me. I am very cute: my fur is
white, I am about 20cm tall and I wag my tail all the time. I got lost from my mommy when I was
less than a week old. Now I am a big boy of 2 months and my doctor says I am ready to go live in a
house. I am very well behaved and raising me will be a lot of fun because I love to play. My
favorite game is ‘catch the ball'.
By the way, I have a strong affinity for kids; I am very loving and caring. Here where I live it is very
sad now because all of my brothers have already been adopted and there is no one else to bite my
tail or play other fun games with me.
If you agree to be my guardian, I promise I'll always come running to the door when you get back
from work; I'll always love you and I'll be your best friend forever.

College is an extraordinary time in the life of any student. It is the time to leave behind childhood
and start adult life. It is the time to rethink one's learning process and start developing new
strategies, skills and abilities. It is also the time to discover a new world of influences. It was in
college that I met the most inspiring teachers and long lasting friends with whose children my own
children are friends.
Although I have fond memories of it, my time in college wasn't all glory. I needed to be very
creative to find a way to study and also to earn enough money to pay tuition. There were times
when I thought I was going to fall behind and needed to work extra hard to be able to complete
assignments and fulfill all my course credits. But I actually see it as a very valuable experience
which is, at least in part, responsible for the development of my confidence and awareness of my
own potential.
