Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to show my attitude to the article that was posted on 17 November 2014.

I think, that the problem, which is described in the article, is one of the most actual nowadays. For civil citizens of Europe this information may be shocking, as for me. We are used to consider human right as the most valuable part of our society. The numbers of enslaved people show, that human rights are not kept everywhere.

Approximately 36 million people. This number is 36 times bigger than the population of Estonia. 500 thousands people of 36 million are enslaved only in the Europe. This is absolutely unacceptable for the world with such progress as we have. How can the humanity be such indifferent to this serious problem? People should use empathy more often instead of being selfish. I believe, that if the newspapers post more articles on this subject, people throughout the world will be encouraged to join the societies, which struggle against slavery. The problem should not be left unsolved and must be illuminated more to find a proper solution.

Yours faithfully,

Igor Bronshtein

Are traditions important?

According to my opinion, I consider that traditions are one of the most important parts of our life. Traditions mean order, Traditions as a festival make us unite, make us closer to each other, even if in another conditions we have no time for relations. We can plan our everyday life and the whole year if we know that on exact day we will traditionally celebrate something.
Certain home traditions for to make our everyday life a little bit more interesting and colorful. Traditions do not let thousands of people be similar, but, on the contrary, make each one of them and us original. It is hard to run away from traditions, because we gain them since childhood. They pass on from our ancestors to our parents and from parents to our generation.
