Good luck with your exams!2. FAMILY My family I cannot but agree that the love of a family is life’s greatest blessing. My family is my fortress, my treasure and my happiness. My family is rather large. My parents have two more children besides me. Thus, I have got an older sister and a younger brother. My dad’s name is Konstantin Kaufman. He is very hardworking, clever and caring. He is the head of our household. I love and respect him very much, and want to be like him. My dad likes to read and watch news, Besides, he is fond of rafting, camping and canoeing. Although he is a very busy person, we often go on hikes together, I like to spend time with him. My mother’s name is Sophia. She is a housewife. It is she who does all the work about the house. Besides, her cooking is very tasty. My mom is very supportive and loving and always finds time to help me or give advice. In her free time she loves reading books and watch movies. Moreover, my mom is a very hospitable person. We often invite guests and have fun together. My sister’s name is Mary. She is in her late twenties. She has blond hair and blue eyes. I find her very pretty. She works in a bank as a chief accountant. Besides, she’s got many hobbies: cooking, swimming, music and poetry. My sister is married and has a wonderful daughter named Alice. She is my niece. I like to play with her. She is very funny and smart. Sometimes I pick her from the nursery school and we walk in the park. My brother’s name is Ilya. He is 2 years younger than me. In spite of this fact, I always turn to him for advice and he is always there to help me out. Like our dad, he works as an economist. He is very friendly and sociable. He is fond of sport which helps him keep fit and healthy. Allin all, everyone in my family is my best friend, We always help and support each other. Both of my parents are understanding, kind and patient. On our weekends we often go to the country and stay with my grandparents. I help my grandma with gardening or go fishing with my granddad. My grandparents are retired but work part-time as teachers 4 2. Family at school. We love to make up picnics. My father usually cooks shish kebab and grilled vegetables. We often sit up late at night and look through our family albums. I can sit for hours studying each image and recalling life events. It is so touching. In the conclusion, I would like to quote Thomas Jefferson who once said, “The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family.” I absolutely agree with this statement. As far as I am concerned, I also appreciate every minute of my life spent in the circle of my family. Mos cempsi Hesb3a He CoracuTEes Cc TeM, 4TO snobsamat CeMbA — 9TO HacTOos- ulee GnarocnoBeHHe.

So, in society everyone has different ideas on what role the family takes in life. Nowadays people face a difficult decision when they have to choose between career and family. What is i int then? uke oe XXIII once noted, “The whole world is my ae Personally, I agree with this statement. In my judgment, ae loves you more than your family. You can always rely on your family members, and they never let you down. They are your best friends, your teachers and your allies. You can always trust to their intuition, ask for any advice or open your heart. They will be always there to help 7 And if you ever take a false step, be sure it is your family who wil zTemp! ana nogrotosku K OF w Ef3 no aurnuicKomy A3bIKy stand for you. So, those moments spent in the circle of your family are priceless. On the contrary, there are people who spend more time building a career. In their opinion, to become rich and wealthy is the road to happiness and success. Those people seem to be more independent, purposeful and pragmatic. They have strict plans for their life and work hard to achieve success. There are also those who claim that friends are more important than family. In my opinion, people who have more contact with their friends than with their family members tend to feel lonely or misunderstood in their own family. It often happens when parents are too busy to speak with their children or to give advice. Hesides, when parents are too authoritative or strict, children become estranged from them and confide in their friends. That is why parents should encourage their children to express their emotions and share their needs. Personally, I believe that everything depends on how you establish life priorities. | would like to emphasize that friends cannot replace family, but family can replace friends. As for money, it will not buy happiness or cure a broken heart. Allin all, I still strongly believe that there is nothing more important in life than the bond of family. It is true when they say, “To have a family that is loving and supportive at all time is a blessing.” Ponb cembu B OGuecTBe BceoOule u3BecTHO, ¥TO BCe MOM pasHble HY KaxkOTO YeNOBeKA CCTb CBOA CHCTEMA MOpaJIbHBIX NIPHHLMNOB, WeHHOCTei HW yOexKTeHHii.

Some people think that it is impossible to overcome differences between members of different generations, while others insist that people of different generations can meet each other halfway and even become bosom friends. It is not uncommon that some parents often disapprove of their children’s musical preferences, clothing styles, political views and choice of friends. In my opinion, misunderstandings between parents and children cause many problems and may lead to serious conflicts. One simple solution that can be put forward is frank and open deep conversation. Hence, parents should understand that every child is an individual and that to err is human. Besides, some parents put much pressure on their children to perform well at school. In my view, parents should make children aware of the importance of study in their life, but they should not punish them for bad grades. | am convinced that the main task of every parent is to teach children the difference between right and wrong and to establish trust relationship with them. So, parents must express deep concern, be careful, sincere, loving and heedful of OTKPbITh CBOIO Ly KOMy- 10 2. Family advice. They must also go with the times in order to understand their adolescents better and not be too exacting and adamant. It should be also noted that nowadays the factors of generation differences are disappearing. Lots of parents listen to the same music, wear the same clothes and spend as much time on social networking as their children do. On the other hand, there are people who insist that the problem of generation gap cannot be solved. According to their opinion, teenagers today are rude, cruel, lazy and ill-mannered. Most of them are addicted to gambling, computer, alcohol or drugs. Moreover, experts say that the cases of juvenile delinquency have been on the rise over the past years. In my judgment, one of the reasons for this problem is lack of moral values or attention. Moreover, the contributing factors of juvenile delinquency include poverty, parental divorce, domestic violence and corporal punishment. However, it becomes evident that all of them refer to the family conflicts. In my judgment.it is precisely the family environment that constitutes a root problem. Experts say that most delinquents come from problem families. Their parents are often violent, cruel or abuse alcohol and drugs. In turn, their children show rebellious behavior and stop obeying them. All in all, I think that all parents should better try to protect their adolescents from bad influences and give a helping hand rather than lecture them or decrease their self-esteem. I still strongly believe that people can bridge the generation gap by means of communication and mutual understanding.

Family traditions help people to feel themselves part of the whole, strengthen the family unity and simply to enjoy happy memories. I think that the moments spent in the circle of your family are the most precious. We have a great tradition in our family. On May Day we usually go to the country where my grandparents live and spend there our days off. I often help my grandma with gardening or go fishing with my granddad. We love to make up picnics. My father usually cooks Russian fish soup and grilled vegetables. We often sit up late at night and look through our family albums. I can sit for hours studying each image and recalling life events. It is so touching. 14 2. Family If it is summer, on weekends we go to the river to sunbathe and swim. We play beach volleyball or badminton. To tell the truth, I like to “unite” with the nature. As for me, I can spend hours staring at the water. At night we often build a fire and sing to a guitar. At these moments I feel the happiest person in the world. Another family tradition is decorating our New Year tree with ornaments, tinsel and candles. As I am fond of handicrafts, I usually make scrapbooks of our celebrations. My mother usually makes New Year’s tree decorations and it definitely adds a special festive touch to the New Year décor. Besides, we usually celebrate New Year at home, in the circle of our family. I get up early in the morning and help my mom to cook a festive supper. It is a tradition in our country to have a certain menu for this holiday. Usually it is a baked goose, a famous Russian salad called Olivier, jellied minced meat and, of course, champagne. Then I go into my room to put my gala dress on. Sometimes my mom asks me to help her lay the table. When all preparations are behind, we watch TV and wait for our guests to come. When the Kremlin chimes strike twelve times, all of us make wishes, hold glasses of champagne and wish each other Happy New Year. Children usually receive long- awaited presents from Grandfather Frost and Snow Maiden. Besides, New Year fireworks are must-have for this holiday. Frankly speaking, I love all holidays but my birthday is my favorite one. My parents usually wake me up early in the morning with a nice song “Happy birthday, dear Sophia” and give me their presents and flowers. We always invite guests to our place and make fun, We sing songs, dance and play games. Then, suddenly, all the light goes out and my parents bring a very nice cake with burning candles. | make my wish and blow out all candles. In the end of the party all of us come outside and set off fireworks.

FRIENDSHIP My best friend “What is a friend? A single soul living in two bodies,” Aristotle said. I can’t but agree with this statement. In my opinion, people who have faithful friends are lucky. But what does it mean to be a real friend? Personally, I think that a loyal friend is a person who is always there to help you out and divide all your sorrows and joys. It is the person who is always supportive, reliable, honest and understanding. If you are frustrated or disappointed, your friend does his best to cheer you up and to assure that every problem has its solution. As is known, false friends leave you when you get into troubles or even can cause troubles themselves. “False friends are open enemies,” a proverb says. It is very important to be surrounded by worthy people who never be- tray you or spill the beans. However, sometimes we lose friends and it is very painful and sad. Afterwards it is very difficult to open up and believe other people. So, if you don’t want to be betrayed, it is better to analyze your friends’ actions and judgments. For instance, if someone condemns or envies others, he may have the same feelings to you and one day he may stab you in the back. However, it takes a long time to work out who your friends really are. As far as I am concerned, I am lucky to have a loyal friend. She is open, sociable and sympathetic. For instance, she saves her pocket money to build an animal shelter. We often buy some food to feed stray animals. We have much in common and spend much time together. Both of us enjoy sports, lead a healthy lifestyle and pay special attention to studies. However, sometimes we do quarrel and argue with each other. She is very opinionated and always holds her own. I think that it is quite natural to differ in opinions. There is one thing she can’t stand, it is hypocrisy. So, I am absolutely sure that she always tells me the truth. For instance, when I tell her about some minor conflicts at home, she often takes a side with my parents, points out my mistakes and gives advice on how to put up with them. I am happy to have such a loyal friend as Mary. I always feel her support and care. I hope we'll be friends forever. 18 3.

Friendship The role of friendship in our life What is the basis of true friendship? It is confidence, common interests, support and mutual understanding. Friendship plays an important role in the modern world. During our lives, we meet lots of people but not all of them become our friends. Some people have only one lifelong friend. There is also an opinion that friends like books should be few but well chosen. Personally, I think that life without friends is like the sky without the sun. As far as I am concerned, I have a small circle of good friends. They are always on my side and make my life complete. I share all my joys and sorrows with them. We have much in common and always have something to talk about. Besides, my friends are battle tested and proven worthy. As it is known, hard times will always reveal true friends. This is absolutely right. I am sure my friends will never turn their back on me when I most need them. Moreover, my friends never envy my success. I can always be myself with them as if they are my family. A Jewish proverb says, “A friend to all is a friend to no one.” I completely disagree with it. As we grow older, lots of people come into our lives. We find friends at school, at university, at work and so forth. For instance, my best friends are my schoolmate and my fitness coach. They are of different personality types. One of them is easy-going, sociable and optimistic. She always cheers me up and makes me smile. Her optimism really shines through: she enjoys life and is always in a good mood. The other one is thoughtful and inclined to melancholy. But she is always eager to help or gives me a sound advice. I do love both of them. In my opinion, friends are those you can unconditionally trust. It does not matter how many friends you have, faith is what matters. All in all, life is meaningless without friends. They make our life interesting and enjoyable. As it is known, “Who finds a faithful friend, finds a treasure.” Ponb apyK6bI B Halleii *KH3HU Ha 4em OcHoBbIBaeTCA HacToslaa ApyxOa? Ha joBepnn, B3anM- HbIX HHTepecax, MoepxKke H B3anMOnOHMMaHHH.

To begin with, let us find out what peer pressure means. According to the Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary, peer pressure is the pressure that you feel to behave in a certain way because your friends or people in your group expect it. Peer pressure can influence how teenagers dress, what hobbies they choose and how they behave and treat other people. Experts say that there is tremendous peer pressure among teenagers to dress a certain way. For instance, at schools where there are no uniforms children may feel pressured to wear fashionable and expensive clothes just to fit in and to be accepted by the peers. One solution that can be put forward is making wearing. school uniforms compulsory. In this case there will be no distinction between the rich and the poor and schoolchildren will focus on their studies rather than on trendy clnthes and perform academically better. It should also be noted that peer pressure is also an important factor when it comes to using drugs or alcohol among teenagers. Experts say that most under-age drug addicts are introduced to this dangerous behavior by their peers. In this case the desire to fit in can lead to serious problems in the future. You must have heard the appeal: “Everyone is doing it.” However, if you know what is “right” and “wrong”, your: common sense will definitely stop you from harming or killing yourself. So, no matter how hard it may be for you to say “no”, you should stan 24 3. Friendship your ground. Think about the possible consequences. Drug and alcohol abuse ruins health and overall destroys people’s lives. There is also peer pressure among youngsters to behave violently or physically harm other people, especially those who are weak or disabled. So, we now speak about bullying, intentional frightening of someone who is smaller or weaker than you. Bullying is not only a physical act of violence but also emotional or psychological abuse. As fur as | am concerned, since childhood my parents have taught me not to bully. | think that any aggressive behavior or fighting will in the long run lead people to jail. All in all, if you want to be a strong personality, you should set your own rules but not to follow someone else’s rules.

APPEARANCE & CHARACTER Describing people: physical appearance Nowadays people are more and more concerned about their’ appearance. Personally, I think that looking presentable is very important for every person of every age. First of all, people who are satisfied wit their physical appearance tend to be self-confident. Indeed, by lookin; well-groomed and nicely dressed one can easily communicate with others and achieve goals. Secondly, people who want to look attractive tend to go in for sports. Most of them follow a diet and go to the gym. Thirdly, people who care about their appearance look after their health, It is generally accepted that visiting a doctor for regular check-ups can’ help prevent illnesses. If you asked me to describe a person whose appearance I like, I’d talk about my aunt. Her name is Sofia. She is middle-aged but has very youthful appearance. She is in her late forties but looks young for her age. She has a friendly round face. Her hair is short and ginger. My aunt has very beautiful blue eyes and long eyelashes. Her lips are red and plump. I like when she is smiley and happy. She is rather tall and medium-built. She doesn’t usually wear glasses but she puts them on when she reads or watches TV. She has a lovely complexion. My aunt always looks fresh and seldom wears make-up. She is fair-skinned but likes to sunburn in summer. I like the way she looks because she wears clothes that are right for her age and always looks trendy and elegant. She prefers wearing suits and dresses. Anyway, my aunt is a good- looking woman and always looks great. Onvcanne BHemHOCTH 4enOBeKa Cerogua Bce Oombute noe nepexkuBatoT to NoBoLy cBoeli BHELI~ HocTu.

Appearance & Character Describing people: traits of character There is no doubt that all people have different character traits. Sometimes you may think that you know a person’s character well just hecuuse you have been friends for ages, but one particular situation ean show how wrong you were. In lots of cases people just don’t know who they really are and what they are capable of. Anyway, each of us has both negative and positive character traits and wants to be a better person, In life, there is a constant battle between these two traits. As far as I am concerned, I am emotional and easy-going. That’s whiy it is easy for me to make new acquaintances. Besides, my friends say that I am helpful, sympathetic and kind-hearted. Well, I am sup- portive as well. No matter how busy I may be, I will always be there to help if lam needed. As for my negative character traits, | am lazy and stubborn. Besides, I am too touchy and vulnerable. I dislike when peo- ple criticize me because I feel as if I must be perfect. Another negative trait of character I dislike and suffer from is my hot temper. I get angry very quickly and fly into a rage. Sometimes J even can’t control myself when I argue with anyone. If you ask me to describe a person whose character | like, I would tell you about my best friend, Anna. She is sociable and cheerful. She is always in high spirits. Her optimism always cheers me up. Besides, she is clever, purposeful and hardworking. She is an excellent student and already knows three foreign languages. Moreover, she has a wide range of interests. She is fond of music, reading and painting. As for characteristics which are the least appealing in a person, I think itis envy and hypocrisy. Unfortunately, appearances are often deceptive. It is true when they say, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” As for other nega- live characteristics I hate, I can’t stand cruel and ruthless people. Moreo- ver, | don’t trust people who dislike animals. I find them cold-hearted. Yeprp xapaktepa YenoBeKka Bue BcakHx COMHeHHI, BCe JOH OO1aLarOT pasHbIMH YepTaMH xa- paktepa.

LEISURE & HOBBIES Leisure Leisure is the time when you are not working and can relax and do things that you enjoy. As far as I am concerned, I am an energetic person and I can’t stay long in one place. That is why I prefer active leisure activities in the open air, such as rafting, hiking and playing sports games. Fortunately, I have lots of friends who share my interests. As I have already mentioned, I like walking tours. My friends and T usually plan them beforehand. If we go on an overnight hike, we take tents or sleeping bags with us. At night we enjoy singing songs by the fire and eating freshly made fish soup. When I stay in Rostov, I often visit theatres, cinemas and concerts. However, it is not always easy to get movie or theatre tickets for the first night. So, I usually book tickets in advance, either by phone or on the Internet. It is very convenient and timesaving because you don’t have to stay in long queues anymore. But most of all I like concerts. Usually I attend concerts of popular singers or bands. Once I have been lucky enough to visit Elton John’s concert which took place in the center of our city and was free. I can’t even express my emotions. The performance was breathtaking and exciting. There were crowds of people who sang along with Elton. The music made me creep all over. I’malso fond of sports, I regularly go to the gym. I practice stretching and Pilates. Sport plays an important part of my life-and helps me to stay fit and healthy. As for Pilates, it is very relaxing and pacifying. It helps me to restore harmony and balance to the mind and body. Coupled with stretching, it makes my body work. Besides, I am fond of volleyball and badminton. It is so exciting to compete with your friends. We are divided into teams and the winner gets a prize. But sometimes I prefer to be a spectator rather than participant. In this case | play the role of an umpire. In my opinion, physical training and sport not only promote physical strength but also stimulate willpower, stamina and courage. However, there are times when I choose passive leisure activities. Sometimes I prefer to stay at home and relax. In this case I read, watch TV or listen to music. It happens that I cook tasty meals, lay the festive 34 5. Leisure & Hobbies table and light up candles. I like to make surprises without any reason, just because I am in a good mood. When my parents come back, we spend our time together discussing the latest news or watching 2h interesting movie together. Sometimes I invite friends to my place an we always try to arrange something interesting. We sing karaoke songs, listen to music or play computer games. When the weather is fine, we often go for a walk. | like to spend time in the park or by the ENE summer I like to lie in the sun and swim, while in winter I am eager for skating or skiing. Well, my life is full of adventures and I have no time to be bored. Docyr Jlocyr — 910 cBoGogHoe or paGorbi BpeMs, KOrJ{a MOXKHO 1103B0- JIMTb ceGe pacculaOHTbCA W 3aHATHCA JeaMM To Aye.

Those people who go in for sports, lead a healthy lifestyle, follow a diet and control their weight tend to be more cheerful and are less susceptible to diseases. On the other hand, those people who don’t participate in any physical 37Tomb! ANH HOAFoTORKH K OF9 WEL no anrnuiicKomy SSbIKy activity and prefer junk food tend to be subjected to obesity and are at risk of heart and vascular diseases. As a matter of fact, the problem of obesity is one of the most pressing in the modern world. Today more and more teenagers are becoming overweight. One solution that can be put forward is doing sports, which can help teens not only to lose excessive weight and -to stay fit, but also to feel more vigorous and spirited throughout the day. Physical exercises are also the perfect way for emotional release. To improve school performance it is essential for school children to balance mental stimulation and physical activity. Besides, it is necessary to mention that supporters of healthy life style are also at much less risk of getting involved in drinking alcohol, taking drugs and other bad habits than those who are addicted to computer games, instead. In addition, sports develop the will for victory, as well as caseharden the constitution and the spirit. Sports also create opportunities to find congenial souls with common interests and values. That feeling that you are a part of the team can help to develop your leadership skills and to boost your self-esteem. The most popular team sports for teenagers are football, volleyball, basketball and tennis. However, some youngsters prefer winter sports, such as figure-skating, ice-hockey and skiing, while others are fond of summer sports, including diving, swimming, yachting and rafting. As far as I am concerned, I do like sports. I usually wake up at 7 a.m. and go for a run or do my morning exercises indoors. Twice a week I take my fitness classes and go to the swimming pool. I am also fond of yoga which teaches me how to take care of my body properly and how to stay healthy, flexible and strong. In summer I like to play badminton and volleyball with my friends, while in winter I go to the skating rink. As for dieting, I am a follower of separate nutrition. When you eat separately you can eat almost anything but not at the same time. For instance, for breakfast | prefer a plate of oatmeal, a glass of orange juice and two apples. As is known, “an apple a day keeps a doctor away”. For dinner I can eat fresh.vegetables and some steamed fish. Besides, I prefer mineral water and fresh juices to fizzy drinks. In conclusion, a healthy person doesn’t smoke, eats healthy food and prefer doing sports to watching them. 38 5.

Books are a great source of information, knowledge and enlightenment. They help us to enrich vocabulary and make our speech more emotional and expressive. Books are also our best teachers. We can see characters make mistakes and learn from them without having to make the same mistakes ourselves. Moreover, books help to escape the harsh reality, to plunge into the world of breathtaking adventures and to recreate. Sometimes they help you to find answers to disturbing questions and to discover a way out. In my opinion, there is nothing better than reading a good book. As far as I am concerned, reading is an inseparable part of my life. Books are my best companions. I read books on my way to school, I read them when I am at home or when | am relaxing on the beach. There are different genres of books, such as memoirs, science fiction, adventure stories, thrillers, novels, tales, detective stories, myths and many others. As far as | am concerned, I prefer classical foreign literature. My favorite writers are Honoré de Balzac, Walter Scott, Erich Maria Remarque, Victor Marie Hugo, Francis Scott Fitzgerald and William Somerset Maugham. Sometimes, when I want to understand the plot of a story better, I can reread books several times. Besides, over the years a lot of my favorite books have been made into movies. For instance, I have recently watched “the Great Gatsby” by Francis Scott Fitzgerald and “the Miserable Ones” by Victor Marie Hugo. I was 4TembI ans nogrotosku k OF u ET no axrnniickomy A3bIKy completely captivated and absorbed by the majestic scenery, modern movie effects and the brilliant performing of actors. And now I would like to tell you about my favorite book that made a lasting impression on me. It is definitely “Heaven Has No Favorites” by Remarque. It is a love story between a young girl called Lillian, a terminal patient suffering from tuberculosis, and an automobile racer, Clerfayt, who constantly puts his life at risk. Lillian, having a thirst of adventures and unknown emotions, catches at a straw and enjoys all treats of life, while her beloved one can’t imagine his life without exciting and dangerous hobby. The book tells us that while there is life, there is hope. It teaches us to appreciate every breath we take and every moment we live. It shows us that life is a precious gift. You know, only when faced with death, some people understand how important life is. However, nobody can escape his fate. The ending of the story is tragic. Clerfayt perished in a fatal road accident and broken-hearted Lillian decided to spend her last days at hospital. Urenve Urenve urpact O¥eHb BAKHYIO polls BOKUSHH JWORel.

I think books are an inexhaustible source of information and knowledge. As far as I am concerned, reading is an inseparable part of my life. I read books on my way to school, I read them when | am at home or when I am relaxing on the beach. Well, I must admit all my family is fond of reading. Every member of our family has his preferences. For instance, my mother loves Russian literature, while my brother prefers foreign literature. There are different genres of books, such as memoirs, science fiction, adventure stories, thrillers, novels, tales, detective stories, myths and many others. As for me, I prefer classical foreign literature. My favorite books are “the Great Gatsby” by Francis Scott Fitzgerald and “The painted veil” by William Somerset Maugham. I was more than happy when I had a chance to watch a screen version of Great Gatsby. It is always interesting to see the characters on the screen. Talking about my mom’s preferences, she adores Leo Tolstoy’s outstanding novel “Anna Karenina”. She has read this book a lot of times, but still it is her favorite one. Moreover, she loves Ivan Bunin’s brilliant poems. Talking about my brother, instead of professional literature that he reads every day, he likes foreign literature. His favorite books are "The way home” by Franz Kafka, “100 years of solitude” by Gabriel Garcia Marques and “Tn search of lost time” by Marcel Prust. All in all, I believe books are also our best teachers. We can see characters make mistakes and learn from them without having to make the same mistakes ourselves. Sometimes books help us to escape the harsh reality, to open the world of breathtaking adventures and to 44 5. Leisure & Hobbies recreate. Sometimes they help to find answers to disturbing questions and to discover a way out. In my opinion, there is nothing better than reading a good book.

It helps us to relax and recreate, it gives us vivid emotions and inspiration. As for me, I can’t imagine my life without music. I am a keen music lover. I listen to music on my way to college or before going to sleep. I enjoy listening to music when I browse the Internet or even while fulfilling some tasks. Well, I love music. Talking about genres of music, there are lots of them: Pop, Jazz, Country, Rap, Rock, Classical, Sole and so on. However, tastes differ for sure. Some people love, for instance, Beethoven’s sonatas, while others are mad of Hip-hop. It’s important to note that sounds never 46 5. Leisure & Hobbies evoke the same emotions in different people. I know a lot of people who listen to music when they want to cheer up and happy music helps them out. For other people music has a soothing effect; it helps them to relax. Sometimes people listen to music when they want to escape the reality. And of course, when people listen to cheerful lyrics, they can’t help dancing and smiling. As for my favorite genres of music, I can say that there is no any definite one. For example, I adore Viktor Tsoy with his unforgettable track “The star named Sun.” J love different songs of Elton John, but my beloved one is “Sorry seems to be the hardest word.” I also go crazy when I listen to Barry White’s famous song “All around the world.” Besides, sometimes I visit different concerts and opera theaters. For instance, a few years ago I watched a rock opera “Jesus Christ Superstar” with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice. This opera told us a story of the last few days of Christ’s life. The atmosphere was amazing as the artists performing interacted with the audience. Anyway, I liked the performance very much. It is very powerful and thoughtful. I highly recommend everyone to see it. Moreover, last year I attended the concert of the world famous band “Scorpions.” I was beside myself with delight. When Klaus Meine played “I’m still loving you”, thousands of people sang along. Famous pianist and composer Ludwig Beethoven once said, “Music is a mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life.” Indeed, music is the universe language of the soul.

Besides entertainment, movies can also educate, inform and influence the public opinion. Some movies make people think and look at their life in a new way. Sometimes movies help people find answers to disturbing questions and to feel happy. As far as I am concerned, I am a keen cinema-goer. So, I often catch the latest movie. What can be better than watching an interesting film after a hard working day? Frankly speaking, I don’t like to wait in lines at the box office. That’s why I usually book tickets in advance. Before watching a film I always buy some pop-corn and soft drinks in the lobby. 49Tembi ana nogrotosku k OF uv EF9 no aurnuiicKxomy A3bIKy There are different genres of films: thrillers, comedies, dramas, horror films, adventures, action films and so on. As for me, I like deep thoughtful movies that have an intricate plot and an unexpected ending. Hence, if I am somewhat intrigued by posters of a movie or trailers, it makes no difference whether to watch box-office hits or low-cost films. As for my favorite film I have watched recently, it is undoubtedly “You are not you”, starring Hilary Swank. It is a drama centered on a classical pianist who has been diagnosed ALS and the college student who becomes her caregiver. The film touches many issues, such as betrayal, friendship, compassion and love. It is the story about two people of completely different personalities who literally become lifelong friends. There were some touching moments in this film which made me cry. I really liked the scene when the central character let out a scream of pain, frustration and despair. It was very powerful and thought-provoking. Although there were no special effects in this film, but the soundtrack was really amazing. Besides, I watched this film in the original. I think that it is the best role of Hilary Swank. Her acting and dramatic ability are breathtaking. I highly recommend everyone to watch this movie. It is unquestionably a masterpiece.

There are a number of factors that can influence the way teenagers dress. First of all, young people tend to imitate their idols. Some celebrities are considered to be trendsetters for most teenagers. For instance, Paris Hilton launched her trendy clothing line. At the event, Paris personally helped to style each of her fans. Another motivating factor is fashion magazines. Teens want to look like glamorous cover-girls and muscular sun-tanned guys. Moreover, children are reflections of their parents. That is why most of teenagers adopt the same style of garments that their parents wear. It is necessary to mention that many teenagers rebel against their parents by wearing outrageous clothes and hairstyles. This is especially true for scandalous clothing and piercings. Besides, by 52 5. Leisure & Hobbies wearing a style associated with a particular group, many teenagers feel they belong to that group. For instance, one of the latest teenagers’ trends in fashion is the EMO style which is characterized by a mixture of gothic and punk styles. Emos have black dyed hair with brightly colored highlights and piercings on weird places like lips, tongue or eyebrows. They prefer brightly colored clothes, which help them to stand out in a crowd. Nowadays there are many styles of clothing. So, clothes and colors should fit the occasion when they are worn. In the wardrobe of every teenager there should be casual clothing, school uniforms, sportswear, house wear, sleeping garments and Sunday wear. For instance, school uniforms should be simple and comfortable. Students must shine with their knowledge and exert themselves rather than organize a fashion show. School uniforms prevent bullying among peers, because all the students are wearing the same outfit and no one is left standing out. So, if your parents can’t afford to spend 16,000 rubles on a pair of brand- name jeans, there is no reason for worries anymore. As far as I am concerned, I prefer casual style in clothes. I tend to wear jeans, T-shirts, sneakers and rompers. The most important thing for me is to look stylish, no matter how much money I can spend for my clothes. As is known, accessories have played a key role in fashion since ancient times. So, if you want to be a standout, simply put on attractive and appropriate fashion accessories, such as bracelets, rings, necklaces or watches. Besides, if you have a good hand in mixing different colors and know much about latest trends in fashion, you can create unique and chic fashion look yourself without the help of a professional stylist.

It is true that the Internet has changed the life of millions of people around the world. Modern society cannot imagine life without modern devices such as smartphones, laptops, tablets and computers. There are different ways of communication today. People make phone calls, fax, send emails or text messages. Today very few people send letters or telegrams. Thanks for the appearance of social networking sites, people have an opportunity to socialize with their relatives or friends who live far away from them, meet new friends and develop their language skills by communicating with native speakers of different foreign languages. So, social networking extends the limits of communication. It is no secret that many people enjoy starting romantic relationships or find new friends over the Internet. Thanks to chat rooms online daters can meet up people with mutual interests and values. Online chats give more opportunities to know the interlocutor better. People talk for hours every day and do build close relationships. As far as I am concerned, I spend quite a lot of time on social networking sites, such as Facebook and Instagram. For, instance, on Facebook I socialize with my pen-friends or as they are called pen- pals from London. I think it will help me to master the language and to learn more about traditions, customs, culture and lifestyle of the target 56 language country. Besides, we often talk to each other on Skype and with its help I improve my pronunciation and listening comprehension, enrich my vocabulary and immerse myself in an English language environment. My pen-pals usually correct my mistakes and I make some notes. Moreover, I Facebook helped me reunite and find my lost friends. Instagram is my little world full of colorful events and vivid emotions. I post my photos every day so that I’ll be able to look through them after some time and recall some happy moments. My friends always comment and like my photos. Besides, on Instagram you can follow celebrities or people who lead full, active life and be abreast of the latest news. Anyway, social networking sites give people a brilliant chance to meet new people, who think alike, to share your thoughts with the whole world and to practice a foreign language.

DAILY LIFE Shopping Shopping is one of my favorite occupations. Today the choice of shops, supermarkets and malls is huge. There are many kinds of shops which specialize in different types of goods such as stationery shops, bookstores, jeweler’s shops, watchmaker’s shops, pharmacies and others. For example, you can get cosmetics and perfumery in a perfumer’s shop, clothes in a clothes shop and so on. The place where you can buy a lot of different kinds of goods is called a supermarket or a hypermarket. A department store is a large shop with different sections or departments, such as a baker’s, a butcher’s, a greengrocer’s, a delicatessen and a confectioner’s. For example, a butcher sells different meat products: beef, pork, chicken and turkey. At a confectioner’s you can buy sweets, chocolate and cakes. A boutique sells fashionable clothing, shoes and jewelry. Outlets, which are gaining popularity nowadays, are stores selling brand-name clothes and shoes at discounted prices. At shopping malls or shopping centers you can also find other facilities, such as restaurants, cafés, cinemas and even skating rinks. So, if you get tired after shopping, you can relax and enjoy a cup of tea ina café, or watch an interesting movie in a cinema. As far as I am concerned, if I go for food I prefer a supermarket. It saves me much time because I can buy different kinds of goods in one place. On entering a supermarket, I usually take a shopping cart or a trolley and put my foodstuffs in it. Then I look through my shopping list and choose everything I need at a self-service counter. Sometimes I buy some goods which are on special, which means that the price of them is lower than it usually is. Afterwards I go to the checkout and pay for the goods in cash or by my credit card. But most of all I like to go shopping for clothes. It is a great occasion for me! When I enter a boutique I usually seek advice from a shop assistant. I ask her or him about the latest trends in fashion. After choosing some items I go to the fitting room. If I decide to purchase a bag, I usually choose accessories matching the color of it. As a rule, I choose the apparel that wears comfortable and never goes out of style. I prefer casual style in clothes: jeans, T-shirts, sneakers and jumpers. 60 6. Daily Life However, on special occasions, like birthday parties, I tend to wear high heels and beautiful cocktail dresses or long skirts. It is also necessary to mention about a new type of shopping, that is online shopping. It is very convenient and timesaving. Today most people don’t want to be stuck in traffic jams and travel from one shop to another. You can purchase any products without leaving your home. All you should do is to put items in a virtual cart, place an order and pay for it by your credit card. Wonnwar IWonnuur — 970 ofHO H3 Moux m0OMMBIX 3aHaTHii.

Everybody wants to come back home after school or work and enjoy the quiet and cozy atmosphere of home. So, cleaning the house is a responsibility of the whole family. Our family is not an exception. We share our household chores to help each other. As far as I am concerned, I have some household duties. Well, since childhood I got used to wash the dishes after meals. However, recently, my dad has bought a new dishwasher. So, now I just load or empty it. Sometimes I help my mom with cooking and clear or lay the table. As I am a good cooker, I often bake cakes or pies. We have lots of plants at home. That’s why I regularly water them. I also take out the garbage and walk with my dog. Moreover, I always make the bed and clean up my room. My mom’s main responsibility is cooking. She always buys only fresh and healthy products which don’t contain any chemical activities. 63
