Living on the Margins - Living without a shelter

-

Introduction:

Whether a developed country is rich or not, it appears to me that there have always been homeless people. Wherever I go in Hungary I have always found people without a roof over their heads. Homelessness is not a new phenomenon and it's a societal problem that has to be dealt with.


According to a research:

Researchers carried out a survey about whether homeless people are responsible for their situation and how they cope and deal with their problems. The survey indicated that the vast majority of people are single men but women are also affected. Sleeping rough is seldom the choice of these people. One of the many ways how people lose their homes is that they had lost their jobs and they were not able to pay the monthly instalments and their house was repossessed and they found themselves on the street.


Unbearable conditions:

Homeless people have to endure the unbearable circumstances and conditions of the street that makes it almost impossible to break out from poverty. These people have no access to sanitary facilities and therefore they can't wash their hands or clean their clothes, either. Poor personal hygiene put them at an increased risk of being infected or developing illnesses and diseases.


Higher risks of illnesses:

There is an estimated percentage that these people will be more likely to have respiratory diseases, heart-related cardiovascular problems and cancer by 50% that is a hazardous ratio. They are exposed to higher risk and chance of domestic violence, alcoholism not to mention substance abuse. Homeless people tend to lose their confidence and are more likely to have self-esteeming problems that significantly worsen their chances of getting back to normal life. For all these reasons, these people usually opt to commit thefts so that they will be given a prison sentence and thus improve their living conditions.


The solution:

I firmly believe that measures and efforts ought to be made to reduce the current number of homeless people living on the streets. One of the many ways how homelessness could be reduced is that government should provide affordable accommodations for these people so as to fights against social exclusion. The local authorities should launch such kinds of programs that could help them to enter the world of work again. I have heard that in many countries temporary measures were taken in order to set up facilities that cater for the needs of homeless people providing medical access, as well as, counselling.

Speech on Education

Motion: THS that salaries of teachers should be increased in institutionalized education. Thank you, Mr. Speaker! Dear honourable members of the House! Outline: In today’s debate, we are all looking for the answer to whether or not more subsidies should be distributed to teachers in institutionalized education.   In my speech, I will go into further detail on how the latter could be attained.   My speech will consist of 5 parts: First of all, I will give the exact definition of what the government mean by the word education. In the second part of my speech, I shall exemplify this by the status quo in Hungary. Thirdly, I will substantiate this problem by giving the highly-likely exacerbations of the situations provided that there is no intervention in time. In part four, I shall introduce what alteration(s) should take place. In the final part, I will provide a possible solution for the above-mentioned problem and draw a conclusion based on sufficient evidence.   Firs

Verb + ing Forms and Infinitives C1

Introduction: There are lots of unanswered questions concerning verb complementation including infinitives and gerund. Therefore, I have decided to answer these questions and dispel all of these doubts by writing a blog about this topic.  Let me start off by saying, that this blog won't include those basic grammar structures which are needed for the B2 exam.  Thus, I will only be writing about the learning material that is required for the so-called advanced level. Honestly, I have fallen in love with these grammatical structures, for this reason, I will be using them on the C1 exam, to impress the examiners. I want to get good points. Grammar: Some verbs can be either followed by an [object + ing] or a [possessive + ing] with a similar meaning.  Example: I resented Tom winning the prize. OR I resented Tom's winning the prize. (where the possessive noun ends with an ['s]) OR: Mia recalled him buying the book. Mia recalled his buying the book. Similar verbs:  Detest (u
