The Environmental Problems & Rules

Nowadays there are many environmental problems in the world such as global warming, the greenhouse effect, polluted rivers, seas & oceans; the shortage of natural resources; dirty atmosphere; destroying rainforests & many others.

But, to my mind, keeping our planet clean is not very difficult when everybody follows the environmental rules.

Firstly, if people use only unleaded petrol & don’t let factories pollute the air, the atmosphere will be cleaner.

Secondly, unless humans poison rivers, seas & oceans and destroy rainforests, fewer fish will die & rare plants & endangered species of animals will survive.

Also, if we recycle paper, glass, plastic and aluminum cans, we will save important natural resources.

Besides, we should take care of cities & countryside.  People shouldn’t drop litter in the streets or leave their rubbish behind after picnics. They should take it home in a bag. And the council should provide bins.

Moreover, we mustn’t burn autumn leaves & rubbish because it makes the pollution worse. We can also save energy using less electricity, gas & water.

All in all, there are many ways to help protect our environment & I believe everybody should take part in it. Because you know what they say – if you are not a part of the solution, then you are a part of the problem.

Rest and Leisure

     What’s your favourite time for rest and leisure? I think that summer holidays are the best. You can choose any place you like to go to. If you like cold climate you can go to Sweden. But some people think if they go there, they’ll freeze to death. The way out is to go somewhere a bit warmer. For instance in the Caribbean the weather is much hotter. But the prices are much more expensive than most people can afford, so they can find somewhere cheaper. Portugal is as beautiful as the Caribbean, but not as crowded. You can get there either by train or by plane.  On the one hand with planes you can travel a great distance in a little time. On the other going by train is safe because there is no other traffic and there is less chance of having an accident. All in all it’s up to you to make a choice and see what difference it makes.

    Topic: My Family And I(appearance, character)

  Let me introduce myself. I am … I was born in Zaporozhye . It is in the south-east of Ukraine. I have been living in this town since my childhood. Now I am going to tell you about my family and about myself. We are a family of_____

     My father is_______ He works as a__________ He is neither young nor old. My father is a handsome man. He is clever and a very sociable person. My mother is __________She works as a __________My mother is pretty and she is always elegant and smart. My brother\sister is… As for me, I am a good-looking child with fair hair and  _______eyes.

When I was five years old I was a cute baby with fair curly hair. I had rosy cheeks and red lips. I could draw pictures and ride a bicycle, but I couldn’t read well and play basketball. My Mum says that when I was five I was rather a naughty child.

     We are a friendly family. It is a custom in my family to discuss things during meals. We discuss different topics. We are getting on all right.

 

 

 

The English proverb says “Tastes  differ”. I think it’s true because different people have different interests. Many people are fond of reading, some of them are fond of sports or hiking and camping but as for me I like travelling.      For some people that would be great to spend their free time in a romantic castle with excellent food and drink or have a relaxing break in one of the luxurious holiday centers. Others are fond of funfairs or amazing theme parks like Disneyland or Dinosaur Park.      As for me I enjoy spending my holidays with my family at the seaside. I’m fond of playing on the water slides, going swimming, taking some pictures or just admiring the sea.      Next summer we are going to spend our holidays by the river. We are going to go fishing, sleep in our tent, have dinner by a camp fire, have picnics by the river every day. I’m sure it’s going to be so much fun.

Sport

6^th form

     Sport is very important in our life. People all over the world are fond of sports and games. Sport and physical exercises help us keep fit, be healthy and strong. Every child likes to play games. When you are faster and stronger than your friend – you can win. So sport helps us get a great sense of achievement.

     There are summer and winter kinds of sports. The most popular winter sports are skating, skiing and hockey. It’s so nice to go to the skating rink with your friends. The most popular summer sports are running, swimming, boating and cycling. Some people enjoy going fishing, waterskiing, scuba diving, kayaking or snorkeling. I can’t help saying that football is the most popular game in the world. It is played on every continent, and it has millions of fans.

    As for me, I spend most of my spare time rollerblading, Ireally enjoy it. It helps me to feel happy, full of energy and make new friends.

   So, as the old Latin proverb says, “A sound mind in  a sound body”. Sport is very important for everybody and it plays a great role in our life.  

English - speaking Countries and Their Traditions.

     Speaking about traditions of English-speaking countries I can’t help saying about winter holidays and their celebrations. In winter people celebrate such holidays as New Year, Christmas, St. Valentine’s Day. As for me, my favourite winter holiday is Christmas and I’d like to tell you some words about it.

     In many countries people celebrate this holiday on 25^th December. They buy presents and Christmas cards for their nearest and dearest. Also people decorate Christmas tree with coloured lights and balls. On Christmas Eve all family members sit around a big table and have traditional Christmas dishes: roast turkey and Christmas pudding. They sing carols, dance and have a lot of fun.

     Children like Christmas, as no one do. They believe that Santa Claus rides over the sky on his sleigh with a big bag of presents. He gets into children’s homes through the chimneys and puts the presents into the stockings, they put on the fireplaces. So in the morning, when children get presents, they become very happy.
