There are so many things that I am passionate about that it would be difficult to describe them all in here. However, what first comes to my mind when I think of something I am strongly attracted to is music. In fact, music  has been an integral part of my life for  as long as I can remember. Every now and then a song that really catches my attention appears. Then, I often tend to listen to that song over and over again until I’m totally bored with it. However, there are some bands or singers whose songs will always be on my mp3 player.

One of such bands is Coldplay. To be honest, I don’t remember exactly how I first came across their song. But I do remember that it was  my friend from junior high school who borrowed me Coldplay’s first  two albums:  Parachutes and A Rush of Blood to the Head.(it’s seems so hard to believe that a 10 years back you could not listen to your favorite music on youtube or download mp3s from the internet).  What so special about their songs? I think it is the lyrics, melody, the vocal all complement each other. Also, to me these songs are packed with different kinds of emotions so that I can always choose something that will correspond to my mood. As regards the band, I really admire the great contact with audience they have during live shows. I hope that I will have a chance to take part in their concert soon.

Here you have some of my favorite songs at random order:

Learning Second Language

According to the article in The Observer, fewer and fewer British students are learning second language. You may argue that, in fact, they don't need second language since it is English that everybody uses as an international language. Still, I don't think that removing second language from the "core curriculum" is such a good idea.

Learning other languages makes people more opent and tolerant towards different cultures. When you go abroad and use the language that is used in a particular country, you show respect for the poeple who live there. When a person goes to Britain, he/she is expected to use English. Thus, shouldn't a British person who goes to France have at least a basic knowledge of French?

In Poland we are aware that knowing one foreign language is often not enough to get our dream job. Whether we like or not, we learn not only English  but also other languages to increase our chances of getting a good job. For some  young British people who may later decide to work abroad the knowledge of second language may also be crucial.

I know that some pepole consider learning foreign languages as a waste of time. However, others may say the same about maths, biology or history, and yet no one would ever consider removing these subjects from the curriculum. The reasons for learning these subjects are not more important than the reasons for learning second language.
