     When we are on vacation or visiting another city we often eat in restaurants. But it doesn’t happen a lot in our everyday life. I myself have eaten in a restaurant in Warsaw six times.      I think that not many people in Poland eat out. At least compared to countries like Italy, France or Spain. In contrast to people from other parts of the world, this is not in our culture. There are a few explanations for this. The easiest one is that we prefer to cook our own food. We have control over what ingredients we use and the end result of our dish. I also think that we don’t eat out a lot is because it is more expensive. Cooking at home is simply much more economic. Also, our society is not as rich as the society in Italy or Spain so we simply are not able to afford to eat out sometimes. 

               Since the covid pandemic has started we had to learn how to study in a new way. We used apps like zoom or teams for our school classes. Even now when we can meet in person some extra classes are still organised this way. Personally, I don’t like studying online. I think that studying at school has more advantages for me. I prefer lessons that are face to face with other students and teachers. I feel much more natural learning about new things at school.

I don’t have this problem at school. My motivation also dropped while we had online classes. I woke up right before lessons and didn’t do anything productive after their end. Now I feel the duty to do things not only for school but also outside of it. I’m much more productive. I think that I didn’t ...

               It isn’t hard to notice that our society uses phones all the time. We are somehow “tied” to them.               Nowadays everybody owns one and some people own even more. We all use them daily. Phones are of course useful, but we can’t say that they don’t harm us in some way. We become addicted to them. It is scary, at least for me, how much time we spend using our phones a day, and this also refers to me. Instead of doing necessary, creative or productive things we are wasting ourselves. People, especially younger generations, use phones in every free second of their time. We have to check every notification because we are scared that something may miss us. I think that being cut off from the world and new information, which isn’t always important, is scary for most of us. The only solution, I think is to change our habits: leave phones in a different room when we study, push ourselves to explore ...
