2 Article 1 How can we make Europe better There are more than 500 million people of 28 EU member states and people need to understand how the EU system works. Today many high percentage of people who complaints that EU is undemocratic was a hard year for EU because of the Brexit and and election of Donald Trump who is sceptic of NATO and EU. It was a double shock for EU. If another country leave EU it could be the end of the union. Future growth prospects are weak. EU need a policy reform. EU countries have too much regulation and taxation and too little competition is correct. There always is a possibility of faster European growth because it is not inevitable. The forces of creative destruction were weak in many EU countries. The average opportunities that came with the ICT (information and communication technology) revolution were not fully removed. Productivity growth of 2.5%/year could happen if technological progress is strong and reformed in a proper way. EU needs to digitalize and robotize business as much as possible to make everything cheaper and it could make a better competition even with third world countries where producing is many times cheaper. Robots are already introduced and supply-side reform is, however, politically challenging at the best of times. EU integration of economics is no longer growing fast enough. This is optimized by the failure to make the Single Market because it is under serious problems from populism, Brexit and euroskepticism. It is still possible to make the union growing up and becoming a stronger, but at present, it looks like almoust impossible and very hard. EU needs to become an union again not to be made of countries who only take from the union and give back less to that.

3 Article 2 How would the EU be without your countries 1) Tax rates high in commercial properties 2) we can not without visa 3) Our power buying may be low 4) Corraption rates rise 5 )Human rights problems may arise 6) We charge more for technology products like phone and computer 7) Production is reduced 8) Poverty rate increases 9) Freedoms can be restricted 10) The rate of political representation may decrease

4 Article 3 Things to know when travelling to another country There are some things that you have to know if you want to travel to another country. To begin with the documents that are necessary for this trip like visa or ID card to enter the country. So you have to leave a copy of your passport and consider making an electronic copy you can store in your account as well. Also it is important to know the transportations costs/ methods for your whole travel and of course inside the visiting country with this way you will not lose time to search information while travelling. on more thing that is vital is to be informed about the National cousin and eating preferences in case of having special needs to be ready! Weather conditions are different in every country so be sure that you will bring all the necessary things and be prepared for the period that you will stay there. Furthermore, accommodation is really essential, you have to know the cost and the location and some more details (like the destination of the center). Last but not least some basic words of the country s original language are compulsory to know in case you can t communicate, a good solution is to take a dictionary. Finally for the resident s official religion, this is a sensitive matter in which people will be seriously annoyed by any offensive or judgmental behaviors.

5 Article 4 Life without EU People nowadays take the European Union for granted, as something natural that doesnt thave an alternative. This way of thinking is too dangerous because it doesn't let the people appreciate the real value of the EU, especually the young generation that was born in it and cannot imagine a day-to-day life without it. Let us take the change and have a look into a probable life without EU! The most obvious profit of the EU is the possibility to travel easily - you have holidays, catch the plane and just have a day off somewhere in Europe...sorry, there is no Europe. Then you have to plan you a day off for really long time, so that you apply for visa, which is a tremendously irritating timea cinsuming process, that would make you give up the probable trip. In case you are a tough person and still want to do it, you would like to spend more time around, so that it will be worth the effort to get the visa. Once you have reached your destination, you will probably face other obstacles: you will probably have to convert your money into the national currency, which will cost you something. But that's but everything: you will probably like the country you are visiting and would like to stay there, for example to find a job and live there for longer. Sorry, you wouldn't be really to do this In most cases you will need a job before you can settle in that country as it is usually a condition to get a permit of residency. And If you are lucky enough to find a job, you could not enjoy your retirement back in your homeland for example.

6 Last but not least, it is worth considering the relations between the countries and our peaceful everyday life. The main idea to build the EU was to guarantee a sustainable peace within the European countries after the disastrous Second world war, which was to be achieved through integrating the national interests, so that the countries wouldn't want to live in a war again. So, if we hadn't the EU it means that we probably wouldn't have the peaceful life and i dont thinck you are inclined to sacrifice it. So, every time you thing that the EU is a bad think, just think about its contribution to your life and that it will something that needs your personal support to go on existing. That is why you don't have to take it for granted.

7 Game - Crossword 1.The EU is like your family. And in a family we are there for each other. So we will give you Even though I m little, I will always be with you. Trust me you have my We are all human beings and we are not the same. So you better respert my european If we respect each other we will grow togheter. And with that the sistem will have We all need money so we can live. So let s help each others...
