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.
