WRITE A PERSONAL ESSAY IN WHICH YOU DESCRIBE A PLACE THAT YOU CONSIDER BEAUTIFUL IN IRELAND

Themes: religion, family
Please note that we are apolitical. We just like good essays. This came up on the 2008 paper. This essay is on the short side of the acceptable range, but is still an outstanding H1.
It has been two years since the passing of my granddad, a significant ending in my life, but I remain bruised inside, filled with numbness and emptiness. My soul is still unwilling to acknowledge the finality of his sudden death. I will never get to look upon his face again or feel his embrace, see the warmth in his caring, loving eyes, or be surrounded by his love. Since the day he died a light has been extinguished in my heart. In his uniqueness he carved a role right into my DNA and no matter how hard I could try to remove it, it remains unchanged; not bigger, not louder and never quieter. Images of him lying motionless on his deathbed race through my mind regularly. Melancholy, remorse and respect are evoked in me. I try to cry the sadness off but crying is no good. I try to sleep the memories off but sleeping is no good. I try to clear my head by running but running is no good. The only place I feel secure and connected with my grandfather is the most beautiful place in my life - the Catholic Church.

Where would you find a more beautiful scene than the scene of a stunning bride walking up the aisle on the “red carpet “on her wedding day in the Catholic Church? Emotions of pure bliss, delight and joy fill the church, exploding it, almost shattering the stained glass windows. Cries of laughter, enjoyment and glee are shared among different types of families and friends on this special day.

This joy is relived on the day of baptisms marking the beginning of new eras. First Holy Communions, Confirmations bring more delight that is all shared under the one roof of the Catholic Church. The contentment of smiling children sweetly singing their favourite psalms at the altar glare down at their parents in hope of making them proud.

One must recognise the beauty of the word “Catholic.” It means universal. The Catholic Church is more than any one parish church. It is more than a diocese. It is more than just a collective worldwide institution. That is what makes it so special, wonderful and even more beautiful. As a universal church, it is an enticing thing to know that any practicing Catholic can walk into any Roman Catholic Church in the world and know what to expect. Vietnamese, French, German – it doesn’t matter. You still would know what is going on and what part of the mass the priest was at.

Of course everything has its flaws and God, the head of the most beautiful place in my life has his. I can never fathom why he gave me my grandfather, someone so good only to snatch him away again. I know he is safe with God, loved and warm, but I can’t reach him there. But imperfection is beauty. I believe God knows best – he may have given him to me and then took him from me as he felt I was strong enough to live with it. The Catholic Church wouldn’t be so beautiful if he didn’t deserve it to be. Beauty is happiness and without the Catholic Church I wouldn’t be happy. Since the day my grandfather died my heart is in fragments, but this beautiful, powerful, almost magical place has begun to piece them back together. Never lose an opportunity of going to a Catholic Church for the beauty of the Catholic Church is God’s handwriting.

How To Speak Correct English By Twinkle Sing English Language There is no denying the fact that knowledge of  English language  is   becoming an inevitable necessity each day. It is also equally true that no one can claim to be an expert in any  language  without mastering the rules of that particular language . One may be a  good  writer and a good reader also, but he may not be able to speak fluently. Some persons are of the view that the more the command over written  English , the more the command over spoken  English . Some opine that the world of spoken  English  is far different from that of written  English . There may be some truth in both these opinions but the fact cannot be denied that after one has learnt to speak some  English , one must master the rules of, at least, fundamental grammar so that one can speak and write flawlessly, otherwise the basic objective of speaking or writing accurat...

If you get interested in the issue concerning the proper paper writing in a stylistic way, then some basic moments have to be mentioned. Scientists possess their own stylistics, which they use both in oral and written forms. The style should reflect the goal orientation but have no emotional language element. The text of the research demands the scientific-technical coloring. One will have to provide the explanations regarding experiments and observations, facts and accurate information, everything that surmises the keen perception of terminology. When writing, one must use a specific scientific language, and it is another key concept of the successful work. There are hundreds of services that can easily help to structure doctoral dissertations online. They may be of great help when identifying what parts your work should consist of, which will allow you to create an excellent outline for your project before you start writing.
