I had my first practice a month ago. It was very interesting and useful experience. I choose Pilaites Day Center.
It is very small center. Children come there two times per week, on Tuesday and Thursday. Others days are for working with families. I decided work with children. Social worker told me that usually here come about five kids. First day I met only three, but after a week there were fourteen. Social worker was very kind and professional person. She explained everything and was very friendly. Last day of my practice she invited me for Christmas party in day center.
My practice was very interesting, because I all the time was working with children. We did not do a homework. We played social games, made discussions (for example who is better a dog or a cat), painted on the glass, walked in the forest, made winter bouquet. Children were very different in the age, the youngest was five years old and the oldest was sixteen years old. All they have a lot of brothers or do not have a parents, but they are great children and they need a lot of love and care.
I am satisfied that I had chosen that day center. I met a lot of new very impressive people and right now I have some new friends.

Online Listening
I have listen http://www.breakingnewsenglish.com/0710/071030-sweatshop.mp3 and http://www.voanews.com/specialenglis/2007-11-06-voa1.cfm and more five podcasts.
Listening was not difficult but I can not say that it was easy. In all I understood what was speaking about, but I am not sure that I will answer to the questions about details. I have listen seven podcasts and they were really different. Speakers were fast in some of them and native English is different from our English. The accent was strange, but after few minutes it became normal. It was good lesson. I try to listen BBC news in compare and I must say that BBC news was more difficult than podcasts. For another hand, when you see who is speaking it is easier to listen. Listening podcast was little bit boring, because there was no questions and in some moment I start thinking about something else. In my opinion more useful was BBC news listening, but podcast were good practise. I do not know am I ready to exam listening, because it depends on questions and speaker. Between native English and American English is big difference. American speakers are speaking very fast, but English one has very interesting accent. I do not know what is better.
In conclusion, I would like to say that class listening is the most useful , because you hear the questions and that you are looking answers in a speech. But this activity was useful, because you choose what to listen and how many times, and you know were are your problem.

Social Policy. Welfare
One of the most important part of social policy is welfare. Welfare refers to 'well-being' and to the range of services which are provided to protect people. This part of the social policy is different in each country. Welfare is better developed in reach and democratic countries.
I would like to compare this policy in two countries: Lithuania and the United Kingdom.
Firstly, I would like to write about the United Kingdom. In this country, welfare is in a high level. There are some arguments for welfare. It is: humanitarian, religious, practical. These arguments say that welfare is a very good politic, help people, teach people to be merciful and solidarity.
Of course, there are arguments against welfare. Firstly, people have absolute right to use property as they wish. Everybody does with his money what he wants and often people do not want give money for poor people. Secondly, the rights of the individual paramount. That means property rights are more important than moral value. Of course, it depends on human. Welfare is often associated with need, but in reality that means well-being and choice how to live. People choose what they want to do in theirs lifes.The United Kingdom is a good example of well developed social policy as well as welfare.
Lithuania is new, young country and is only creating his policy. I try to find information about welfare in Lithuania, but welfare is connected with housing policy and I think that Lithuania do not have such kind of policy. Welfare's duties are in personal social services. This service include childhood, sickness and old age. There is not enough institutions, which can help such a people, but I believe that in future the situation will be like in the United Kingdom.
Welfare is created for people well-being, so we should use it for our needs. It does not mater in whit country you live, social policy should be well developed.

On line listening. Choosing a Student Exchange Program to come to the US
Today students have a lot of possibilities to go abroad. Not only to find a job, but and to study. There are a lot of programs suggesting studies abroad. European students prefer to study in Europe, but there are some who go to the USA. The most popular are English universities. Of course you may find advertisement about universities not only in Europe.
Heard advertisement on line about learning and working in the USA was really attractive. Firstly, it was interesting to listen because of back noise. I have not heard a start of recording, but after that I listen carefully and caught all main things. The part of working in the USA was more attractive for me than the part of the studies. Speaker was speaking very slowly and everything was clear. She said main things about program and address to communicate. It was short and breathtaking.
My opinion about working abroad is positive. I do not like USA as a country so I do not go there not only for study but and work. European countries look more attractive. They are historical rich countries and they are closer to my home. I do not known why I do not like the USA. May be my friends were retelling a lot of things that I do not like, I do not know, but working in the USA is not a best solution for me. I think that work or study is more comfortable and interesting in Europe. It is very good and helpful for students that there are such a organizations, which can help with a studies and job abroad.

Gun control
Guns are very dangerous things. Sometime it may save a life, but there are situations when guns make more damage than goods things. We need guns to protect our country, property or life, but guns in children hands may by the biggest disaster. As an example, we can take gunfight in California, where were shot 20 students. Gunfights like this are frequently happened events in the USA. Each country has gun control laws, but they are not perfect. I think, that it is easy to buy an illegal gun, even children can buy one. :(
Situation in Lithuania is very sad. Our laws claim that you may have a gun for self-defence and you do not need special order. I strongly believe that person who has gun, need special tests, which shows is he responsible enough to own a gun. It is sad, but we have a lot of illegal guns and there are no answer how to deal with this problem. The government has more important things than this one and situation will not change in a future. I believe that we must be more active and do something. Then the government will put attention on this problem.
In conclusion, I would like to say that we need safe life, but not only guns can protect us. We must look for another ways of safety.

Employment law. Summary
Employment law has born in 19th in Western countries. Industrialization was growing and people need the law to protect theirs rights. Employment rights make a clear distinction between self-employed poeple and employees. There are a lot of legislations in Engladn, which claim workers rights, they just must know it. More important is European Court, which can help to deal with a problem assiocated with a job. This law informs about all rights of workers as well as strike and how to organize it in a proper way. However, East countries are not as democratic as West, but they have some laws, which claim rights of employees and employers. I believe in the near future situation will be better. We just must fight for our rights.

Civil and public law -- summary
Civil and public laws are very important in every country. Civil law consider with citizens relationships in a country. The main categories in this law are: contracts, torts, trusts and probate. Public law consider with citizens relationships between themselves and state or between one state and another. The main categories in this law are: crimes, constitutional law, international law. The most important differences between these two laws are the definitions. For example, a criminal action is called a prosecution (public law) and an illegal civil action is called plaintiff (civil law). There are differences in damages and liability. As well as there are points of contact. For example, guilty in a criminal case won't be found liable in a civil action about the same matter. It is very shortly about these laws, but you should be more interested in it because there are a lot of practical things.
