Chapter 7

So, after helping the Micawbers to pack their few clothes, and waving goodbye to them at the coach station on their way to Devon, I went to the warehouse for my last day at work.  I did not tell anyone I would not be coming back the following week.  In the evening I packed my case, and put the ten shillings in the little purse Peggotty had once given me.  I looked around for someone to help me with my case, which was rather heavy for me, and saw a tall young man with a horse and cart passing by.

The young man put the case into his cart.  Then, looking round quickly to make sure there were no witnesses, he pushed me roughly against the wall and took my purse out of my trembling hand.  Before I could say a word, he had driven the horse and cart down the road and out of sight round the corner.  I knew I would never see him, my case or my ten shillings again.

Chapter 6

When we arrived in Yarmouth and down from the cart, we said goodbye to Mr Barkis.  Daniel and Ham Peggotty were waiting for us.  Daniel and Ham were exactly the same as I remembered them, cheerful and generous as ever, but little and prettier, but she did not want to play with me, or spend her time with me, I was rather disappointed, because I still considered she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen, and I thought I was in love with her.  Daniel and Ham were very proud of her intelligence and beauty, and just smiled when she laughingly refused to sit next to me.  But they all listened with interest to my stories of school life at Salem House. I told them about the other boys, especially the handsome, clever Steerforth.  I admired him so much that I could not stop myself telling them all about him.  Suddenly I noticed that Emily was listening eagerly, her blue eyes shining and a smile on her lips.  She blushed when she saw that we were all looking at her, and hid her face behind her hands.

I now realized that when the Micawbers left London, as they were planning to do, I would be very lonely in the city.  I still hated my work in the warehouse, and wanted to make a better life for myself.  I thought about it for a long time, and decided there was only one thing I could do.  I would try to find my one surviving relation, my father’s aunt,  Miss Betsey Trotwood, and ask her to help me.  I knew she lived somewhere near Dover, in Kent.  I could go there by coach, because Peggotty had once sent me ten shillings to keep, in case I ever needed it.  The time had come to use that money.

Unit 10

Karate is a very dangerous activity

Karate is a very famous martial art in Japan. It shows the Harmony of Body and Spirit and is a very effective self defense for those who would like to learn more about the Japanese art and sport and for advanced students it is a great chance to exchange experience.

There are many reasons that people take up karate lessons, some of which I have discussed in other articles. Some articles cover why those reasons might not be the right reasons for you. Many people doing Shotokan today will disagree with me strongly for zeroing in on the negative aspects of taking up Karate. For more than ten years they have been howling with protest that I am doing a disservice to the very concept of Karate as an art. Some say that I am disrespectful of “the Shotokan Community.” A few chuckleheads have even tried to invoke Buddhist ancestor worship and have claimed that I am smearing “The Legacy of the Masters.” Let them gripe and complain. People who are heavily invested financially in selling Karate lessons and supplies, and people who are emotionally invested in receiving their self-esteem from their sense of being an authentic Karate expert want people like me to only say and write very positive and uplifting things about Karate.

I think that it’s fine to stay positive. Focusing on only the negative aspects of something like Karate can ruin it as a hobby for just about anyone, including me. We should acknowledge the good things and talk about how we enjoy them. But I prefer not to be dishonestly positive to the point that I am basically spreading my own rationalizations and denial. I am not going to spread only promotional and marketing materials about Karate. Good lord, we have enough of that already. I don’t mind contributing my honest opinions about the things that are good about training Karate, but let’s not white-wash the bad and pretend it isn’t there in the name of encouraging people to sign up for lessons. Let’s be honest and tell it like it is.

Unit 9

Discuss the pros and cons of being wealthy.

Wealthy  everyone really like to rich but if you don’t try anything by yourself you can’t rich.  When you have work and work very hard, when end of month you will get salary a lot and don’t forget keep some money for the future because when you have a problem about money or when you need to buy something more, you can use saving deposit for buy everything and  when you wealthy you will famous.  Almost everyone of us, at least once, dreamed a life of being rich and famous. But like many other things, as we are witnessing on almost daily basis, that kind of life brings both positive and negative sides.

Having money and being famous certainly contributes to people who have that in many different situations, making their lives easier. Often it looks like a fairy tale we can only see in movies. Big houses, huge residences in the most beautiful resorts in the world, expensive cars and unimaginable luxury for, how we like to call ourselves, “normal” people. Next thing that we can’t put aside is the possibility of helping other people in need and people who don’t share that kind of happiness. And these are just some of the examples why we dreamed of “having it all”.

On the other side, we can count a huge list of negative sides of being rich and famous. Like mentioned above, we are witnessing almost every day how famous people can’t handle tons of paparazzi and press who just won’t leave them alone. They can’t hide almost a single thing in their private life. And often these people get insane, both for alcohol and drugs, divorced or something even worse. Such people find it difficult to make true friends and maintain relationships long-distance. People around them look only to benefit from their fame and fortune, or socialize with them just because they are equally rich. Family is often not there, or children and parents just live a different life.

Summed up, there are certainly both positive and negative aspects of money and fame, but most important is how people react to it and use it. In today’s world, money brings great opportunities, and that’s a fact, but we need to know that like all other vices, it can destroy us and our family so it’s important to think well about what next step with it will be.

Chapter 5

Life went on as normal for me at school, until my birthday two month later in March.  I remember that day very well.  It was cold, icy weather, and we boys had to blow on our fingers and rub our hands to keep warm in the freezing classrooms.  When a message came for me to go and see Mr Creakle, I thought that  Peggotty must have sent me a birthday persent, and so I hurried gladly along to his room.  But there I realized something unusual had happened, because it was Mr Creakle’s wife who was waiting to speak to me.

After my mother’s funeral, I began to wonder what  would happen to me.  The Murdstones did not even seem to notice that I was in the house.  They had told Peggotty to leave, as they did not want her as their servant any more, so Peggotty was going  to her brother’s in Yarmouth, until the decided what work to do next.  She suggested taking me with her for a holiday, and to my surprise the Mudstones agreed.
