The location of Aral Sea is Kazakhstan-Uzbekistan. In the last 60 years, Aral has shrinked. The shrinking of Aral Sea is one of the planet's worst environmental disasters. In 1948 Aral was much bigger than it is now. The half size of it has “extinct”. The same disaster happened with our Sevan which is located in Armenia. Sevan is the largest lake in Armenia and the Caucasus region. It is one of the largest freshwater lakes in the world. In the 19th and in the 20th centuries people used Sevan as energy provider. And the level of the lake fell more than 19 meters. Then an ecological disaster was avoided when the Stalinist era ended in 1956. Then people understood the whole problem and they tried to help Sevan Lake. In 1981 the government tried to recover the water by digging a big tunnel from the river Arpa to Sevan. The level of Sevan rised. Then another tunnel was constructed. And finally, Sevan was recovered. So I think people have to construct a tunnel for Aral, too.

                                    Countries in the world
There are more than 200 countries in the world. Every country has its own language and flag. But there are some countries which speak several languages. Like in the United Kingdom people speak Celtic, English and Scottish. 
Countries are separated from each other with rivers, deserts, oceans and with land. Every country has its own territory. The longest border is Canada-America. 

The flag of each country has its own symbol.

 Armenian flag consists of three colors red, blue and orange.

 Its symbol is a lion and an eagle which hold a shield. On the shield there are the past 4 kingdoms of Armenia. The dynasties are: Arcasid dynasty, Bagratid, Artaxid, and Orontid. 

The English flag is known as the Union Jack. So these are the habits of each country.

                              Internet

In my opinion Internet is a way of communicating with each other, and it is a source of information. I use internet very often. I use it for doing my home tasks or watching some videos. I seldom play on internet, but not always. When I am not busy I play some logic games. Sometimes I go to facebook or I write in my blog. I comment my friends’ blogs, too. Internet consists of programs like: Google, Yahoo! and Gmail. There are internet servers, which let us to enter in these sources. Here are some internet servers that I use Safari, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. In my opinion the best ones are Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. So I like internet a lot.

                          Forest Ecosystem

I got a lot of information from the text, from the class and information from the BBC documentary film. I think this is a wonderful and an informative film. It is about forest life about some incredible creatures like flying squirrels, lynxes and the whole movie was about the true secrets of our incredible world.
 
   I liked the movie and even got more knowledge. The title of the movie was The Magical Forest and besides being the title, it was the whole meaning of the movie.

 In the movie there were so beautiful pictures containing all the seasons. I am so pleased from the documentary film.

Corruption in our country

                        Corruption
                        (Reflection)
Corruption is spread in Armenia, and comparing to other countries there is a lot in our country. Corruption is so popular. People use bribe to reach to their main purpose. People say that jobs are given to friends or relatives and I think it is true. I think that this is another way of corruption and it is a little illegal. I myself have not seen such things, but my friends say that such things happen and I believe to them. I think that habit won’t make a big influence on our country, but it is possible that it will make unemployment percentage higher. If I were as a boss of such company I will do it not frequently, I will say to my friends that I do not have place to “fit” them in my company.

                                                      Advertising


I myself do not think that advertisement can help business grow, because the percentage of people, who don’t believe in advertisement, is more than the percentage of people, who believe in advertisement. Advertisements have their own advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantages are that people cannot believe in the advertisement and they will make a wrong opinion of that product. The advantages are that people might watch the advertisement and will come and buy that product.


 I think that the ethics of advertising in Armenia is developed as medium level. I don’t like it when some companies call and start to advertise their product, because it is a kind of irritating, annoying. I feel in certain way, because they disturb me and they call again and they try to persuade me. So this is my main idea and opinion abut advertising, and how ads help business.
