The word is FOOD.Your thought is?For some people it is something that they dream of. For others it issomething that is taken for granted and it is bonded with comfortablefeeling of happiness and pleasure, but the fact is that after certainnumber of years food can produce not so pleasurable effects on ourbody.So, should we be supercial when we feed ourselves and those littlegray cells?Correct answer is NO.Actually, nowadays we should be very careful what products we takefrom shelves in supermarket so there are three cardinal questions:1) How to make these decisions? 2) Whom to listen? 3) Where to look?

HOW TO WRITE YOUR MOTIVATION LETTER?As you may already know, everytime you want to apply for aBEST course, you have to write a motivation letter accordingto which the Local BEST Groups will select their participants. Aperfect receipe does not exist but surely BEST wants to knowthe following about you:

Who are you? What do you study, which are your hobbies andyour knowledge of the course you are applying to and how doyou like to party. This part shouldnt be long but must containrelevant information to help the organizers see how you wouldcontribute to their course.

Why did you choose this course? Read the coursedescription carefully and make your motivations clear. This is

very important in the eyes of the organizers. Be specic so yourleter will be personal and not standard.

Why did you choose this city/country? Every person,including organizers, love to hear compliments about the coun-try they live in so you might want to give them reasons why youchose their specic city/country. But dont over do it becauseyou may give the impression of being just a tourist instead ofa course participant.

If you add a bit of your own originality to this information,than your chances just went up a bit. Everyone appreciates asense of humor and creativity so feel free to use them whilewriting your letter. Now all you have to do is to apply. Get yourkeyboard, start typing and imagine a Spring like you never hadbefore!
