TRAVELLING.
People are fond of traveling. They spend their holidays traveling. They travel to see other countries and continents, to learn a lot about people’s traditions, to enjoy picturesque places. It is interesting for them to discover new things, different ways of life, to meet different people, to try different food.
Those who live in the country like to find themselves in large cities with their shops, cinemas, crowds of people. City-dwellers usually like a quiet holiday by the sea or in the mountains with nothing to do but walking and bathing, lazying in the sun. Most travelers and holiday makers take a camera with them and take pictures of everything that interests them - beautiful views of waterfalls, forests, unusual plants and animals. These photos will remind them of the happy time of holiday.
These are many ways of traveling - by train, by plain, by ship, on foot. Everyone chooses his favourite one. My favourite way is traveling by plain. And not because it is very comfortable. It is exciting. I also like traveling by train. I’ve traveled this way a lot. When you are in the train you can see the beauty of nature.
I envy the tourists because I think that they study geography traveling and visiting different parts of the world. They can tell you many things which you didn’t know before.
They are interesting people from whom you can learn much new for yourself. Any kind of travel helps you to understand many things that you can never see or learn at home. Though you may read about them in books and newspapers.
As for me I’d like to have a coach tour to some foreign country. Coach tours are planned and I’ll have a chance to do a lot of sightseeings and have a good rest at the same time.
ПУТЕШЕСТВИЕ.
Люди любят путешествовать. Они тратят(проводят) их путешествие отпуска. Они путешествуют, чтобы видеть другие страны и континенты, учиться много о народных традициях, наслаждаться живописными местами. Это интересно для них, чтобы обнаружить новые вещи, различные пути жизни, встречать различных людей, пробовать различное продовольствие.
Те, кто живут в стране, любят оказаться в больших городах с их магазинами, кино, толпы людей. Городские обитатели обычно подобно тихому празднику(отпуску) морем или в горах с ничем, чтобы делать но ходьбу и купание, lazying на солнце. Большинство путешественников и изготовителей праздника(отпуска) берет камеру с ними и берет картины всего, что интересует их - красивые представления(виды) водопадов, лесов, необычных заводов(растений) и животных. Эти фотографии напомнят им о счастливом времени праздника(отпуска).
Они - много путей путешествия - поездом, равниной, судном, пешком. Каждый выбирает его фаворита один. Мой любимый путь путешествует равниной. И не, потому что это очень удобно. Это захватывающее. Я также подобно путешествию поездом. Я путешествовал этот путь много. Когда Вы находитесь в поезде, Вы можете видеть красоту характера(природы).
Я завидую туристам, потому что я думаю, что они изучают путешествие географии и посещение различных частей мира. Они могут сообщить Вам много вещей, которые Вы не знали прежде.
Они - интересные люди от того, кого Вы можете изучать много нового для вас непосредственно. Любой вид путешествия помогает Вам понимать много вещей, которые Вы никогда не можете видеть или учиться дома. Хотя Вы можете читать о них в книгах и газетах.
Что касается меня я хотел бы иметь тур автобуса(тренера) к некоторой иностранной стране. Автобус(тренер) Тур запланирован и я должен иметь шанс, чтобы делать много осмотров достопримечательностей и иметь хороший отдых в то же самое время.
Environmental problems
The poisoning of the world's land, air, and water is the fastest-spreading disease of civilisation. It probably produces fewer headlines than wars, earthquakes and floods, but it is potentially one of history's greatest dangers to human life on earth. If present trends continue for the next several decades, our planet will become uninhabitable.
Overpopulation, pollution and energy consumption have created such planet-wide problems as massive deforestation, ozone depletion, acid rains and the global warming that is believed to be coused by the greenhouse effect.The seas are in danger. They are filled with poison: industrial and nuclear waste, chemical fertilisers and pesticides. The Mediterranean is already nearly dead; the North Sea is following. The Aral Sea is on the brink of extinction. If nothing is done about it, one day nothing will be able to live in the seas.
Every ten minutes one kind of enimal, plant or insect dies out for ever. If nothing is done about it, one million species that are alive today will have become extinct twenty years from now.
Air population is a very serious problem. In Cairo just breathing the air is life threatening- equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes a day. The same holds true for Mexico City and 600 cities of the former Soviet Union.Industrial enterprises emit tons of harmful substunces. These emissions have disastrous consequences for our planet. They are the main reason for the greenhouse effect and acid rains.An even greater environmental threat are nuclear power stations. We all know how tragic the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster are.
People are beginning to realise that environmenta problems are not somebody else's. They join and support various international organosation and green parties. If governments wake up to what is happening- perhaps we'll be able to avoid the disaster that threatens the natural world and all of us with it.
Проблемы Окружающей среды
Отравление всемирной земли, воздуха, и воды - наиболее-быстро-распространяющаяся болезнь цивилизации. Это вероятно производит меньшее количество заголовков чем войны, землетрясения и наводнения, но это - потенциально одна из самых больших опасностей истории для человеческой жизни на земле. Если существующие тенденции продолжаются в течение следующих нескольких десятилетий, наша планета станет непригодной для жилья.
Перенаселенность, загрязнение и потребление энергии создали такие широкие планетой проблемы как массивное сведение леса, истощение озона, кислотные дожди и глобальное нагревание, которое верит, чтобы быть coused парниковым эффектом.Моря находятся в опасности. Они заполнены ядом: индустриальная и ядерная трата(отходы), химический fertilisers и пестициды. Средиземноморье уже почти мертво; Северное море следует. Аральское море находится на крае исчезновения. Если ничто не сделано об этом, однажды ничто не будет мочь жить в морях.Каждые десять минут один вид enimal, завода(растения) или насекомого заглохнут навсегда. Если ничто не сделано об этом, один миллион разновидностей, которая является действующей(живой), сегодня станет в потухших двадцати годах с этого времени.
Воздушное население - очень серьезная проблема. В Каире, только вдыхающем воздух - угроза жизни - эквивалент курению двух пакетов сигарет в день. Тот же самый проводит(держит) истинным для Мехико и 600 городов прежнего Советского Союза.Индустриальные предприятия испускают тонны вредного substunces. Эта эмиссия имеет бедственные последствия для нашей планеты. Они - главная причина для парникового эффекта и кислотных дождей.Даже большая угроза окружающей среды - атомные электростанции. Все мы знаем насколько трагический последствия Chernobyl бедствия.Люди начинают понимать, что environmenta проблемы - не чей-либо. Они присоединяются и поддерживают различный международный organosation и зеленые стороны(партии). Если правительства осознают то, что случается - возможно мы будем мочь избегать бедствия, которое угрожает естественному миру и всем из нас с этим.
RUSSIN TRADITIOS.
Almost every nation and country has a reputation of some kind. The Englishmen are reputed to be cold, reserved, rather naughty easy-going and fond of sport. They are the nation of stay-at-homes. «There is no place like home», they say. The English man’s home is his castle is a saying known all over the world. They prefer a small house built for one family, with a small garden are a fire in the centre of the house. They like animals very much and follow the traditions concerning food and meals. We know much about English traditions and customs but now I’d like to say a few words about the traditions of my native land-Russia. First, about Russian people. To my mind, the main traits of their characters which differ them from other people are hospitality, their «open heart», «golden hands», wise Russian fairytales reflect this wisdom. Our people are hardworking, patient, never loosing hope for better life. The Russians are the talented nation. Russia gave the world beautiful names of Pushkin and Lermontov, Chaikovsky and Repin, thousands of names of world famous poets, writers, composers, scientists. All of them are the pride of the nation because they sand the beauty of our nature and people.
Besides these great names in literature and music, our country is famous for Russian traditional specific crafts its skilled craftsmen. Painted boxes of Palekh, coloured shawls of Pavlov Posad, clay toys of Dymkovo, laces of Vologda are known all over the world.
The names of Gzhel and Khokhloma are considered to be the symbols of Russia as well as matryoshkas and samovars. The history of khokhloma goes back into the 17th century Producing of tableware-dishes, spoons, mugs was begun at that time in the villages of Suomino and Khokhloma in the Nizhniy Novgorod Province. On the banks of the great Russian river Volga. Many carpenters, painters have been working since then reviving traditions of old masters. The Khokhloma style is characterized by using plant elements in painting the tableware. The prevailing colours are black, yellow, golden, green and red. And nowadays this craft is sure to be saved, it will be developed and brought into the future by the new generation of painters.
The reviving of old crafts is connected with the reviving of the traditional arts of all peoples inhabiting our big country. There are 100 of them. They revive their culture, costumes, dances and language. It is the revival of our souls. Now we celebrate the forgotten holidays - Troisa, Maslenitsa, Easter. We again sing Russian folk songs and chastushki, dance Barinya and perform khorovods, ride in troikas. Traditional Russian cooking is world-famous for such dishes as okroshka, shi, pelment, kurnik, kvass. We begin to build and reconstruct churches. The example of it is the building of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow. It is the symbol of reviving human feelings, national pride and patriotism.
TRADITIONS & CUSTOMS OF GREAT BRITIAN.
Every nation and every country has its own customs and traditions.In Britian traditions play more importaint part in the life of the people than in some other countries. Englishmen are proud of their traditions and carefully keep them up. It has been the law for about three hundred years that all the theatres are closed on Sundays no letters are delivered only a few Sunday papers are publshed. To this day English families prefer cotage houses with gardens to flats in a modern house with central heeting.English people like gardens.Sometimes the garden in front of the house is a little square covered with cement
painted green (in imitation of grass) and a box of flowers. In English houses the fire-place has always been the centre of interest in a room.For many months of the year people like to sit round the fire and
watch the dancing flames.Fire places are decorated with woodworks,there is a painting or a mirror over it.Above the fire there is usually a shelf with a clock and some photographs. Holydays are especially rich in old traditions and are different in cotland,Wales and England.Christmas is a great english national holyday and in Scotland it is not kept at all exeept by clerks in banks,all the shops and factories are working.But 6 days later on the New Year's Eve the
Scots begin to enjoy themselves.People invite their friends to their houses and sit the old year out and the new year in.In England on new Year's Eve a
lot of people go to Trafalgar Square,at midnight,they all cross their arms join hands and sing.People have parties too,they drink toarts to the New
