In the 0. developed world, we all spend money on things we never use:
fitness equipment that 1. in the garage gathering dust, clothes that never
get 2., books that are left 3.. But the thing we waste
most of all – 4. edible, nutritious food.
In fact, it is estimated that up two billon tonnes of edible food is 5.
away every year. That’s half of the world’s food. The Food and Agriculture
Organisation (FAO) says that it 6. take US $30 billion to feed the 870
million people around the world who are chronically 7. - yet the
value of the food thrown away every year 8. to US $100 billion.
There is something grotesque in the thought that global 9. could
be avoided, if only we didn’t put so much food in the bin. And then there’s the
10. damage caused by all that food production – according to the
FAO, food waste produces 3.3 gigatonnes of CO2 equivalent, and is the third
11. emitter in China and the US.
Why all the waste? One reason is our consumer 12.: 20 to 40 per
cent of fruit and vegetables are rejected BEFORE they get into a supermarket – left to
rot in fields, or thrown away – because they don’t meet 13. standards
of the ‘cosmetically-perfect’ food that consumers expect. Food 14. is
another problem: overzealous sell-by and use-by dates encourage both
15. and consumers to ditch god food.
Hello Mom and Dad. I don't know about you, but I often don't have enough time. Recently I have not a minute free. I go to dances and to painting, I really like it, I am happy. I have grandiose plans! I dream of opening my own beauty salon in our city and really hope that everything will work out!
Your daughter. ... (name)

Привет мама и папа. Не знаю как вам, а мне часто не хватает времени. В последнее время у меня ни минутки свободной. Я хожу на танцы и на рисование, мне очень это нравится, я счастлива. Планы у меня грандиозные! Я мечтаю открыть свой салон красоты в нашем городе и очень надеюсь, что все получится!
Ваша дочь. ... (имя)
DO NOT spoil me, you spoil me with this. I know very well that you don't have to give me everything I ask for. I'm just testing you.
Don't be afraid to be demanding with me. I prefer this approach. This allows me to determine my place.
DO NOT rely on force in your relationship with me. This will teach me that only strength should be considered. I will respond more readily to your initiatives.
DO NOT be inconsistent. This confuses me and makes me stubbornly try to keep the last word in all cases.
DO NOT make promises that you cannot keep - it will shake my faith in you.
DO NOT succumb to my provocations when I say or do something just to annoy you. And then in the future I will try to achieve even greater victories.
Don't be too upset by my words, "I hate you." I don't mean that. I just want you to regret what you did to me.
DO NOT make me feel smaller than I really am. I retaliate against you for this, becoming a "cry" and a "whiner."
DO NOT do for me and for me what I am able to do myself: I will use you as a servant.
DO NOT allow my "bad habits" to attract too much of your attention to me. It will only inspire me to continue them.
DO NOT complain about me in the presence of strangers. I will pay more attention to your remarks if you tell me everything calmly face to face.
DO NOT try to discuss my behavior in the midst of conflict. For some objective reason, my hearing is dulled at this moment, and the desire to cooperate with you disappears. It will be better if we talk about it later.
DO NOT try to read me teachings and notations. You will be surprised to learn that I understand perfectly well what is "good" and "bad."
DO NOT make me feel that my actions are a mortal sin: I must learn to make mistakes without feeling that I am incapable of anything.
DO NOT ask me to explain why I did this: sometimes I do not understand why I do so and not otherwise.
DO NOT test my honesty too much: intimidated, I will easily turn into a liar.
Don't forget that I like to experiment: that's how I know the world, so please accept it.
DO NOT protect me from the consequences of my own mistakes: I learn from my own experience.
DON'T pay too much attention to my little illnesses. I can learn to enjoy feeling bad if it attracts so much attention to me.
DO NOT try to suffocate me when I ask frank questions: if you do not answer them, I will look for information elsewhere.
NEVER hint that you are perfect and sinless: it gives me a sense of the futility of trying to match you.
Do not let my fears cause you excessive anxiety, otherwise I will be even more afraid: show me what courage is.
DO NOT forget that I cannot develop successfully without understanding and encouragement.
DO NOT forget to share with me your achievements and failures, then I will reveal my secrets to you, I will wait for your advice and support.
TREAT ME THE WAY YOU TREAT YOUR FRIENDS. THEN I WILL ALSO BECOME YOUR FRIEND. I learn by following examples, not by criticism.
And besides, I love you so much. Please treat me with the same love.
