«My apartment»

My apartment is located in the heart of the town. I live in a five-storeyed house on the fifth floor. As you understand, this is the top floor of the house, therefore the building has an elevator. I take it (a lift) very rarely, because I believe that it’s of no use to young people. But for old people to do without a lift would be a problem.When you find yourself on the fifth floor, turn left and you will see the apartment number 55. That’s where my dwelling is. It has absolutely all conveniences - from gas, heating to electricity and hot water. Despite the fact that the building looks a little neglected, my apartment is very cozy and bright. The interior of the apartment is modern and at the same time elegant. The windows look out on the garden and a small lake can be seen from afar.

«Cinema»

Cinema is an integral part of the social life of people. The movie combines not only stunts, special effects and scenery, but also the genuine art. Many people go to the cinemas in their free time. The movie hasn’t become less popular over the last few years, on the contrary – now it is increasing its popularity. Over recent years people turned old age and middle age have also become interested in the film industry. Although there is no doubt that the number of young people still prevails in cinemas.

Because of the fact that technical possibilities are growing every year, visits to cinemas are under threat. Nowadays you can watch any movie at home, hire any film or watch it online via the Internet. However, the cinemas are not behind the times too. 3D cinema halls are appearing and many other modern things like that.

«Library»

Cultural development of a person depends on the visits to such places as theatres, exhibitions and libraries. Libraries play a significant role in the lives of all people who strive for knowledge and self-development. Books are a great source of knowledge of our ancestors and just simple modern writers. The many years’ experience right up to our time is gathered in the books.

Everybody chooses what to read. Someone just ignores the literature, someone prefers to read only the classical literature, and someone likes modern glossy magazines. Tastes differ. However, whatever they say a book is the key to education and high intelligence of the rea

«My room»

It has been 2 years since I lived in the mansion of my grandfather. I adore living in country houses because only this way you can feel a connection with nature, revive energy and rest from the bustling cities.Driving up to the house, you notice the green hedge. Going through the gate, you can see the path, flowerbeds and bright lawns. At the entrance you can see the veranda where we often gather with friends to have a rest and chat.

My room is on the second floor of the mansion. One storey above there’s an attic and one storey down there’s a living-room and a room of my grandfather. On the whole the mansion can accommodate 10 persons. It has 7 bedrooms and 2 kitchens. Every second bedroom has a bathroom.

«My best friend»

Even a day of a person can’t pass without communication. Society means more than it might seem for the first time. People communicate, quarrel, argue, express their points of view. We are all different, but a desire to communicate unites us and makes us “men”.

I personally nodivide people into friends and acquaintances. Acquaintances are ordinary people, with whom I happen to meet from time to time. As for friends, they mean a great deal for me. A friend is not just a pal or acquaintance. A friend is a person whom you can always rely on, share your thoughts and secrets. Friends never leave me in trouble. I'm one hundred percent sure of it.

«Shopping»

If we need to buy something, first of all we go to the shop. There are many different shops where you can buy whatever you want - from food to screws, bolts and nuts. It is not difficult to guess what type of store is the most popular. It may be said without exaggeration that these types of shops are supermarkets and grocery stores. A human being eats every day, so passing by such shops is a rather difficult thing.In every city you will find such shops as grocery stores, clothing stores, bakeries, butcheries. I love going to the flower shop most of all because flowers are my passion. Every week I go to an antique (curiosity) shop, because I really enjoy the original, ancient things. From time to time I visit the toy store in order to buy toys for my nephews and children. Almost every month I go to the gift shop so that I can buy gifts on birthday for my family and friends.

«Colors and clothes»

In recent years it has become very popular to choose clothes exclusively by color. Clothing color now plays a big role in the lives of all dandies and fashionable women. There is even a special system based on the choose of appropriate clothing colors depending on the color of eyes, hair and skin of a person.

Assuming, you have dark hair (no matter whether you are a brunette or a chestnut head). In this case your choice may go for black clothes. You can freely experiment with purple and red. If you are a blond or a blonde, then forget about gray. If you decide to wear gray clothes you will be pale and washed-out. For blonds to wear cream, blue, green and brown (not too bright) or pastel colors is more suitable. Nevertheless, it is not universal advice. Many things depend on what color of your eyes and skin i

«Days of the week (My plans)»

My name is Dima. I am 10 years old and I live with my parents in a big city. Today I want to tell you about my plans for a week.

As I’m in the fourth form (grade), from Mondays through Friday I usually go to school. As a rule, on Monday I’m very reluctant to attend school because after idling about on weekends it’s too hard to start working again. So Monday is not an easy day for me due to Monday feeling that I often have.

On Tuesday I am very busy. After school I have to attend acting classes, after that I walk back home, have dinner and sit at my desk to do homework. It takes 1-2 hours to finish my homework. Afterwards I go to bed at 10 pm.

On Wednesdays I’m not as busy as on Tuesday. I don’t have any additional lessons according to my timetable. I am fully free. I can do whatever I want. On this day I often play football with my brother and go to the cinema.

«My household duties»

At the present I go to school, so I'm very busy on weekdays. Because of this, unfortunately, I can't help in the house as often as my parents wish. However, I do my best to find the time to clean house.Every morning I get up and without any loss of time, I do my bed and go to the bathroom. Yawning, I wash my face, then I brush my teeth and go to have breakfast. After breakfast, I always wash the dishes myself after me and my family, because my mom and dad leave for work before me. They have no time to wash the dishes.

At 8 o'clock sharp, I make my way to the school and at 4 on the dot I come back home. On my return, I cook something easy so that I might eat, and then I get down to the lessons. Lessons take me from half an hour to two hours a day. It all depends on how much homework our teacher gives to us. Then I put all the books and notebooks into place and start cleaning my room. Every day I dust. Every other day I vacuum. Sometimes in the evening we go shopping together with dad.

«How I spent winter holidays»

My winter vacation passed wonderfully. This year heavy snow covered the ground, so there was no time to get bored. Together with friends we drove in a sleigh, made snowmen, played snowballs and just had fun. In the evening I watched TV, talked on the phone with friends and occasionally played on the computer.

The second week my family took me to a winter resort. I don’t ski very well, so it was hard in the beginning to learn how to ski down mountain slopes. But the next day, I learned to keep balance and fell to the ground only a few times. At a ski resort we spent 4 days. During this period I managed to make friends and girlfriends, with whom now I keep in touch and correspond through the internet. We hope to see one another again at the same place next year.

«About me and my family»

First of all let me introduce myself. My name is Igor and I am 12 years old. I am a pupil of the sixth form of a private school. I live in the residential area in the city. My family is neither large nor small. My parents have only three children including me. We live separate from grandparents. However, they often come to see us, therefore we are very happy.

Thus, I have one elder brother and one younger sister. My brother is a little elder than I am – he is two years elder. My sister is five years younger than I am. My brother's name is Peter and my sister’s name is Tatiana. As you see, they are both schoolchildren. My brother attends the same secondary school as me. And my sister attends primary school with profound study of foreign languages.

«My hobby»

Every man has his own preferences – «tasted differ». Each of us is carried away by occupations that we choose according to our wishes. Some people like going for sports, but some doesn’t. Someone would love to embroider, someone considers embroidery tedious and boring.

For example, I love collecting various trinkets and souvenirs. This activity is very fascinating for me and I am delighted with it. I love to write poetry, draw and read. Most of all I love to read detective stories.

My cousin hates sitting at home. She likes active lifestyle much more. Recently she has taken up playing tennis. In general, in her spare moments she is not averse to sing some foreign song in English. She adores the in English language, traditions and customs of the Englishmen. In the future, she plans to pay a visit to England and call on her aunt, who has been living there for already 10 years.

«Clothes»

Clothes play a big role in our life. We wear clothes to differ from others, showing our innodividuality. Fashion is constantly changing, so everyone chooses his own style. And this style may be both in vogue and out of fashion. But it doesn’t matter as long as a person likes it.

We can wear whatever we want. But this rule applies only to home clothing. When we are within a society, we must adhere to some limits. Especially it refers to school clothes or as they say – school uniform. In most countries uniforms are mandatory.

For example, in England. All girls and boys are required to wear a particular uniform. If you see a pupil attired in blue, know for sure that this person comes from England. However, for the past years every school in England may change rules. Pupils are allowed to wear shorts (in summer) and sweaters (if it’s cold). For the most part pupils wear trousers, skirts (only girls), shirts, blouses, blazers and dresses (also for girls). Strangely enough, but boys and girls should wear a tie as well.

«Food»

Food is an important substance for human organism. It mainly consists of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Besides these three nutritive materials, food can also be nodivided into 2 groups – meals of plant origin and meals of animal origin.

The first group (plant meals) is everything that grows out of our earth. First of all these are vegetables. Vegetables have a tiny amount of calories and are very rich in fiber. Certainly fruit is there where vegetable is. Comparing with veggies, fruit is more dangerous for one's figure, because any fruit is primarily a carbohydrate product. In this respect an intake of fruits doesn’t have to exceed 500-700 grams per day. Any seeds are also included in our list – legumes and cereals.

«Music in my life»

Who doesn't love music? Whatever mood we have - bad or good, from time to time we turn on our favorite song. And it, in turn, either calms us, or on the contrary, makes us fall into melancholy.

Life without music would be boring and dull. Just imagine a disco being in silence or holidays being without musicians. Absolutely all people of every type around the world are not indifferent to the music. Genres that are most popular are rock, rap, pop, techno, chanson, hip-hop and others. There are other very specific genres. For example, folk music, classical music, spiritual music and also such interesting genres as blues and jazz.

«My pets»

I love animals, so I’ve got a lot of them. Someone’s hobby is collecting stamps, doing exercises, drawing or learning foreign languages. Animals are my hobby. I like to look after them, feed and just watch them. I believe that animals bring us happiness and positive emotions. This, in its turn, has a positive effect on our moral and psychological state.

So let me tell you more about my pets. In my house you will find two dogs and one cat, aquarium with fish and two hamsters. Most of all I love dogs, but my mom loves cats. My brother is a very reserved person by character, so he keeps fish, but my sister loves hamsters. As for dad, his love is sufficient for all the animals. He, just like me, doesn’t mind playing with any pet in our house.

«Internet»

Internet is a worldwide network that transmits data to different parts of the Earth. Owing to the internet, humanity has a chance to share information, download or transfer files, communicate in various chat rooms as well as learn the latest news in the split second.

Every year users in a network are not growing smaller. On the contrary, their number is increasing. Two thirds of Americans regularly use the internet. The second place has been taken by the Asian countries - China and Japan. However, as you see, data are constantly changing. We can draw one conclusion from these indices - every day the number of users is growing rapidly.

«School years»

School years are the most amazing years in life of every person. Strict and lenient teachers, difficult and easy subjects and of course holidays – all these things will never slip our memory. Although most of pupils go to school reluctantly, in the future they will probably have a strong desire to return those days of joy and lightheartedness. So, let’s remember what the ordinary school days of pupils are.

Every time a teacher goes into the classroom she always asks the same questions. They sound as follows: “Who is on duty?” and “Who is a monitor?”. Then she usually demands to show the written homework and hears a lesson. That’s how teachers check the knowledge of the pupils. If somebody didn’t learn the subject, she would open a record book and give bad marks to the ones who can’t recite a lesson. Filling in the record book, she asks “Who is absent?” and then wonders why this pupil missed the classes and didn’t attend school. There are two versions: either he or she just plays truant or a pupil just fell ill.

«TV in our life»

TV-set has become a part of our lives many years ago. Watching TV, we learn a lot of information. The most important information coming from TV is certainly news. Thanks to the news we keep track of events of both domestic and foreign policy. However, not all programs are of use to us. Probably on the contrary - they only hamper our development, making us weak and inactive. Therefore, it’s impossible to say that TV is 100% boon.

So “the idiot box" with TV shows, does it do more good or harm? Giving a clear answer is impossible. What will happen if we don't turn on TV at all? We won’t be aware of what is going on in the world and in the country. You can, of course, learn the news through the Internet, but there aren’t many people who are used to doing so. Particularly it’s true for people over 50.

«Where I live»

As they say, “My house is my castle”. Pronouncing these words we don’t imply something elegant and luxurious. In this case money doesn’t matter. Sometimes you enter a house with golden chandeliers, wooden tables and genuine paintings and feel that something is wrong and something is missing (wanting). And the reason of it is clear. The treasure of any house is its coziness, family hearth and hospitality. Therefore today I would like to tell you a little about the place where I live.

My family lives in the suburbs of town and possesses a two-storied house near the river. It’s hard to say whether our house is large or small. But our ground area is big and spacious. We run and play, swing on the swings and make barbecue with my friends there. Recently my father has built a house on the tree. We gather there to have a chat and just discuss important issues far off parents.

In the park

The park is my favorite resting place. The park is a good place for both the growns-up, the elderly and children. In the park you can not only rest outdoors, but also have fun and amuse yourself.

I have a pretty big family; it comprises mom, dad, two grandfathers and two grandmothers. I'm not the only child in the family. There are four of us - three girls and one boy. It is not difficult to understand that this boy is me. My name is Dennis and I am 14 years old. All my sisters are younger than me, so I'm the oldest in the family. That’s why when we go to the park, I watch my little sisters, whom I appreciate and love so much. My friends often wonder why I hardly ever quarrel with my sisters. It is difficult for me to answer this question. Probably, parents brought us up accordingly, that is, to take one another for granted and never to nitpick.

My favorite book

My favorite book is "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway. This story is one of the well-known works of the writer. The author depicts the characters of the old man and the boy and their relations very vividly and skillfully. Santiago, the old man, was one of the writer's beloved characters. The old man was a born fisherman, but he was not a butcher and fished only for a living. He was very lonely. He had a devoted friend - the boy, Manolin. The boy loved the old man for his kind heart, his devotion to the sea. Manolin was like a son to Santiago. He took care of the old man's food and his belongings. The old man was glad to pass his experience to the boy. He looked forward to going to the sea together with the boy. All Santiago's life had been in preparation for the battle with big fish. He knew that he had been born for this and it was time to prove it. A strong man at last had met a strong fish. The battle was a difficult one and full of danger. Though the sharks had eaten the fish and nothing had left but the backbone, the old man had morally won the battle. Santiago's words "man can be destroyed but not defeated" are the main idea of this story. "The Old Man and the Sea" is a masterpiece for its imaginative language and the description of nature.

The Earth and the Solar System

We, humans, live on the Earth. And our planet Earth is surrounded by space. The sky is what we see of space. There are billions of stars and probably billions of other planets moving through space. Our planet is moving through space too. We live on the surface of our planet Earth. Gravity keeps us here on the Earth. Gravity is an invisible force that pulls things and people toward the center of the Earth. All the other planets, stars and moons have gravity too. Without gravity we would float away into space. The Sun lights up the Earth. The Earth turns around each day. The half of the Earth turned away from the Sun is dark. On that half of the Earth it is night. The half of the Earth turned toward the Sun is light. On that half it is daytime. We, humans beings, have always wanted to know what is out in space.
