Final Topic 5

Our world is full of things that are unknown for you. And you can try to experience them. For example:

And the experience of changes. Mahatma Gandhi once said 'Be the change you want to see in the world'. This is exactly what this person has done. Liz Murray has shared the stage with world leaders like Mikhail Gorbachev and the Dalai Lama as an international speaker. It's hard to believe that at the age of 16 she was homeless and sleeping on park benches and underground trains! She went back to school and through dedication and determination, she eventually won a scholarship to a top university. Since Liz graduated from Harvard in 2009, she has been speaking at events to teenagers about staying away from drugs and gangs.

Someone's words about experiencing an Indian wedding: My best friend Alisha first invited me to go with her to her cousin's wedding in India. It sounded so exotic and I wanted to come with her! When we walked out of the airport, a large group of Alisha's family were waiting to greet us. After having greeted. The night was the Sangeet, the first night of the wedding celebrations. The following afternoon , it was the Mehndi party. Mehndi is the decoration of the hands and feet with a dye called henna. On the morning of the wedding Alisha surprised me with a gift - a green and gold silk sari. It was comfortable to wear. The groom arrived wearing white and riding white horse. Then the bride and groom , during the ceremony, walked around the fire or exchanged flower garlands. We ate lots of traditional food. I felt lucky that I had an experience in Indian wedding.

And the experience of a celebration in Russia. lvan Kupala Day is an ancient holiday still celebrated in a lot of countries, including Russia. It is a huge celebration of the sun and takes place every year around the summer solstice, the day the sun reaches its highest point in the sky. It is a popular and fun holiday filled with a variety of rites and ceremonies connected with water, fire, and plants. On the evening before Ivan Kupala Day, people look through their gardens or wander around forested areas looking for fern flowers. Legend also has it that when the fern flower blossoms, you can see all the treasures of the Earth.

Also the experience of living in foreign country I am Stephen Marshall, I had a great opportunity to study and live in a completely different Mexico, because I have been learning Spanish for three years now and I wanted to improve my language skills. The best moments of my experience are communication with the host family. I still have difficulty understanding social etiquette. Last week, for example, a new Mexican friend invited me to dinner, and I came right on time. My host looked a little surprised. Later I learned that Mexicans usually come to the reception not less than half an hour later. Without a doubt, it was the best experience in my life. I became more confident, patient and sociable, and my Spanish improved even more than I expected.

Or the UK etiquette experience. If you are meeting someone for the first time

1. extend a hand to say hello.2. Also, it is important to make eye contact while speaking with someone; otherwise you will seem rude or insincere.3. In the UK, a smile is a sign of friendliness and even politeness.4. Keep a distance of about half a meter from people, unless you are in a crowded place.5. If someone invites you to dinner, bring a small gift, such as flowers, a good sign of gratitude. Be sure to come on time and if you are late, call your landlord to apologize.6. In addition, it is very important to keep your mouth closed while chewing.7. If you eat in a restaurant, expect to pay the waiter a tip of 10 percent of the bill, but not if the service is secondary.

If you didn't want to experience that things, there are many others that I didn't tell about. And of course there will be some for you.
