In the book, Friedman attempts to predict the major geopolitical events and trends of the 21st century. Friedman also speculates in the book on changes in technology and culture that may take place during this period. Friedman predicts that the United States will remain the dominant global superpower throughout the 21st century and that the history of the 21st century will consist mainly of attempts by other world powers to challenge US dominance. Although mainly about the geopolitics and wars of the century, the book also makes some economic, social, and technological predictions for the 21st century. Second Cold War In the 2010s, the conflict between the US and Islamic fundamentalists will die down, and a second Cold War, less extensive and shorter than the first, will take place between the United States and Russia. It will be characterized by Russian attempts to expand its sphere of influence into Central and Eastern Europe, coupled with a buildup of Russian military capabilities. During this period, Russia's military will pose a regional challenge to the United States. The United States will become a close ally to some Central and Eastern European countries, all of whom will be dedicated to resisting Russian geopolitical threats during this period. Friedman speculates in the book that the United States will probably become a close ally of some Central and Eastern European countries: Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania. Around 2015, a Polish-led military alliance of countries in Central and Eastern Europe will begin to form, which is referred to in the book as the "Polish Bloc." Russian and Chinese fragmentation In the early 2020s, the New Cold War will end when the economic strain and political pressure on Russia, coupled with high military spending, Russia's declining population, and poor infrastructure, cause the federal government of Russia to completely collapse, much like the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Other former Soviet countries will fragment as well. Around this time, China will politically and culturally fragment as well. The book asserts that the rapid economic development of China since 1980 will cause internal pressures and inequalities in Chinese society. Regional tension in mainland China will grow between the prosperous coastal regions and the impoverished interior regions. Friedman gives two possible scenarios: that the Chinese central government will expel outside interests and rule with an iron fist to keep the country together, or that China will fragment, with the central government gradually losing much of its real power and the provinces becoming increasingly autonomous. He works on the assumption that fragmentation is the most likely scenario. In the 2020s, the collapse of the Russian government and the fragmentation of mainland China will leave Eurasia in general chaos. Other powers will then move in to annex or establish spheres of influence in the area, and in many cases, regional leaders will secede. In Russia, North Caucasus and other Muslim regions, as well as the Pacific Far East will become independent, Finland will annex Karelia, Romania will annex Moldova, Tibet will gain independence with help from India, Taiwan will extend its influence into mainland China, while the United States, European powers, and Japan will re-create regional spheres of influence in mainland China. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Next_100_Years%3A_A_Forecast_for_the_21st_Century ]]> 150 Gaza genocide active textbook https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_genocide ]]> 149 International Criminal Court arrest warrants for Israeli leaders active textbook https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Criminal_Court_arrest_warrants_for_Israeli_leaders ]]> 148 to endorse = to say publicly that you support a person, statement or course of action shortage = situation when there is not enough of the people or things that are needed GP = general practitioner outpatient clinic = healthcare facility where patients receive medical treatment, consultation, and diagnostic services without being admitted for an overnight hospital stay.

However surviving without food depends on many factors, including fluid, health, age, weight, and climate. Therefore, after water I should start looking for food. The easiest option, (comma needed here) I think, is to gather fruits or nuts, but I need to be sure they're edible. If I had tools, I'd fish. Or hunt, but I don't want to talk about killing animals in the essay. I should also describe how I'd look for a place to live, but I think my vision is already clear: on an island, I'd be trying to survive, not sure (= informal, spoken register -> better say: I'm not sure) I'd have time for fun. That's all (rather informal, probably redundant). 2. How emotional are you when arguing? It's a very good question, and I'm not sure it has only one answer. I think it depends on many external or internal factors, or even both. For example, if I had a stressful travel home (traffic jams, goats on the roads, etc.), I'd be in a bad mood and could argue about minor things in a very emotional way. The opposite situation can happen, for example, when I'm really tired at work and don't have the energy to argue, I simply agree with my wife's arguments silently :) My point is that it's unlikely that people can be categorized by how emotional they are during arguments. Their overall behavior depends on many factors, and "emotionality" shows itself not only in discussions. Thank you. Darya 75  What do you regret the most? It's very interesting question... First, I'd like to share my worst experience during my childhood. , namely | for example | I have in mind such things as... (Ellipsis = You have skipped some words, suggesting that you are thinking aloud: this is a rather informal & spoken register, perhaps less adequate for a writing task) Ssome school cases, some bad words which were said. Then I (ellipsis) remembered (some) difficult situations during my life in Africa. I was only 19, it was (ellipsis) my first working experience in the Embassy. Non-Unfriendly people around, a lot of work, life without parents. My first pregnancy and childbirth. I had some health problems. (This should be a writing task, not just a list of things you regret ;-) ) Words, which shouldn't be said (regrets about the past -> words which shouldn't have been said?). People, whom I didn't want to be in contact with. Situations, where I should have acted differently. In addition, I'm an introspection introverted person. Although I can really explain to myself all my decisions, sometimes it's difficult to realize that you are on the right way. What do I regret the most? I can't say, (no comma needed here) that I regret anything. All my life's steps have made me who I am now. It's only my experience. It's unique. I appreciate it. Right decisions, bad decisions. Nobody has the right to judge you.  I only regret about the time, which I can spend (could have spent more?) with my family, especially my parents. They had to work a lot during my childhood, to give me a chance for a better living. They did their best! I'd like to have an opportunity to spend more time with them now. But now - it's my turn for working to work. It's complicated. (= you are writing the way you think, as though you were speaking... which sounds quite natural & idiomatic, but isn't actually the best way to showcase your writing skills...)  I think we should live our life and appreciate every moment, every day. No regrets. It's only our experience. Sometimes it's hard to opt, but - "The show must go on!" 2. Have you got any trick to sleep like a log? Of course, I have! You should do as much as you can during the day. If you have any forces, please, do more. It's a joke. But as you know, there's a grain of truth in every joke. Sport, dances, walks, meditations, soothing music, white noise... It always depends on your mental health. On the one hand, we can sleep like a log when we are superrelaxed. On the other hand, when we are in stressful situations and don't have any forces. I prefer the first variant. When my kids were young I used white noise for their sleeping. It helped a lot. Now my younger daughter adores listening fairytales before sleeping. For me the best sound is - the ocean. It's super soothing. Olga 65 By In my opinion, nowadays we can't live without plastic. Although it's a popular theme - i.e. the problem of plastic utilization, we can pay our attention - should notice that | we ought to remember that most of goods around are made of plastic. In order to make clothes only of natural materials, it's necessary to use a lot of cotton, leather, wood, etc. Therefore prices of everything would rise to the Space skyrocket. Although we used to buy bottles of water, little jars of yougurt. (unclear why you need 'although' - where is the contradictory idea / sentence: before or after?). Can we imagine any material which can be used instead of plastic for packaging? Taking in account this these facts, I can say, (no comma needed here) that no, we can't live without plastic now, especially on at the same standard of living. However we really have a problem of plastic with recycling plastic and utilization, but there this is a theme for the next topic (OR but this is another story). 1. If I were left alone on the desert island, I will would have a lot of free time, therefore It will would be a wonderful chance to sleep as much as possible. 2. When I'm arguing, sometimes I'm just a bit indignant, although sometimes I can feel me really furious 3. I find extraneous noise distracting when I need to concentrate on some difficult task, but not always I don't always have possibility to do something with that noise 4. Some years ago I heard a trick for fast falling asleep fast - to imagine how you put every case which about you think about into the a separate drawer. It doesn't sound not very realistic, however it works :) 5. Generally not. Especially if to you pay attention to the fact that most of our clothes is are actually made of a kind of plastic (I mean polyester). Without plastikc living will be much more expensive. But anyway we need to organise plastic recycling better, (no comma needed here) than it is now. 6. Sometimes I get rid of old or useless items, therefore I'm maybe not too thrifty. 7. I think to grow bringing up our kids with a habit to keep cleanliness around them is more effective than documentaries watching documentaries. 8. Taking into account that sometimes I regret what I said, I try not to say something superfluous. 10. Prises Prices are permanently constantly rising - as result I permanently always wish I'm be was reacher  richer. 11.  There are a lot of people in a the metro every day. What is important (problematic?) is that they go to offices on a work (all) at the same time. I want wish they stopped using sity city transport everybody in a all at the same time 😁 12. If I travelled a lot, I would like to see meet dolphins. What's more, to meet seeing a whale would be exciting too. Yaroslav 85 Well recycled discourse markers! Quite convincing narrative If you travelled a lot, who would you meet? If I travelled a lot, I would like to meet local people. What is important is that people make every place special. You can see beautiful buildings and nature, however, real life opens (becomes visible | can be experienced) only through communication. In Europe I would like to talk to people from small towns and villages. According to many travellers, these places keep old traditions, and locals can explain how they live in their everyday life. As a result of such meetings, I could understand how the past connects with the present. In Latin America I would like to meet just usual peoples. They seem very friendly and open. In addition, they could tell me about their difficulties and everyday things. As a result, such meetings would leave the strongest memories. I am sure that communication with local people(s) makes travelling unforgettable. Taking into account cultural differences, it is a chance to see the world through their eyes. What's more, it helps to understand that people in different parts of the world have much in common. We all want happiness, friendship, and a peaceful life. To remember my travels, I want not only photos, but also memories of people I met and discussions we had. Maria 90 I am obsessed with highway and even road noise. This has been my biggest issue for the last few years. I hate hearing the sounds of cars and motorbikes; it drives me crazy. As a result of this noise, I am becoming very irritable and can’t concentrate on anything all day long. This summer, we moved to a new dacha that is much closer to a road than the previous one. No matter how hard I try, I always hear the sound of cars, especially at night. It disappoints me a lot, as my time at the dacha has always been my escape, and I enjoyed sleeping with the windows open at night, feeling alone in this world. In order to avoid being upset by this noise, I now have to close all the windows at home. But taking into account that I live in a big city and the traffic will only get worse here, I do my best to get used to this type of “music.” What is more important is that I am absolutely indifferent to other types of noise. I can work well in an open office space. The constant chatter of my colleagues doesn’t bother me at all. Taking into account that I am not twenty years old anymore, I regret many things. But what is important is that I don’t regret the millions of parties and the time spent with friends dancing. Several years ago, I suffered because I didn’t study hard enough and let my brain stagnate. However, I managed to get into Kaspersky couple years ago, and it made feel stressed, made me think different and still keep my brain active. Therefore, I might be missing my easy time. I suppose that in a year or two, I will change my mind, and as a result, I will be reproaching myself for not working hard enough and not being an eager beaver. Even now, in addition to all these thoughts, I really regret that I don’t spend enough time learning English words, as I am staring at my English texts and they look poor. I also regret not listening to my teachers at university well enough. Alexandra 85 1.What would you do if you were left alone on a desert island? If I were left alone on a desert island, my first priority would be to find fresh water and shelter. In order to survive, I would need to stay calm and think logically. According to a school course of biology, people can live several days without food but not without water.  After finding a safety safe place, I would try to create a signals sight, for example: big letters written in the sand or a smoke of fire. However, this would be useful only if passing ships or planes were nearby.  What's more, I would need to find ways to stay optimistic because in this situation I could stay weeks or months without help. 2.How emotional are you when arguing? I try not to be too emotional when arguing, although it can be difficult. Usually, I just boil inside. I work with a lot of people and I think that, (no comma needed here) as the louder you talk, as the less people listen to you. In all argues arguments | quarrels | disputes I can say everything that I want using only whisper and in the case, (no comma needed here) where when people try to come to an agreement, they will take to my opinion my point.   Taking into account my personality, I believe I am moderately emotional - not really cold but not impulsive either. 112 Unreal and mixed conditionals wip quiz matching pix/icons8-dictionary-100_white.png // Grammar;Conditionals and mixed conditional type 2 (unreal situations);B2 - 02;Complete the sentences with a conditional tense.
