mother are priceless". The father as the family head has the right to evaluate his children's behavior and is
obliged to protect them. Children should worship their mothers and respect them. The slightest display of
disrespect or inattention to mother is not only denounced by people but also should be stopped on the spot

thanksgiving in the United States was held by the Pilgrims in the autumn of 1621 in Massachusetts. Their first
winter in the new country had been difficult. Half of the Pilgrims had died of cold, hunger and disease. The
Indians had taught the colonists to hunt and fish and plant their crops. The next autumn the Pilgrims had an
abundant harvest and had plenty of food. They were thankful and had a feast to give thanks. They invited the
Indians to join them. This was the first Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving became a national holiday many years later
because of a woman named Sarah Hale. For forty years Sarah Hale wrote to each president and asked for
holiday of Thanksgiving. At last she was successful.
First president George Washington proclaimed the day of the adoption of the Constitution in 1789 for a day of
Thanksgiving. Then in 1863 president Abraham Lincoln named the last Thursday in November as the first
national Thanksgiving Day. Since that time on the fourth Thursday in November, in houses around the United
States, families get together for a feast or a large meal .

deserve it and because you will respect them if you have a simple brain and a heart. Your parents keep your
happiness and needs above their own. You should respect them because they taught you how to walk and
because you took your first steps by holding their fingers. There are countless things they did for you and you
will never be able to pay back for their favors. If only you respect your parents, your kids will respect you.
If you understand the importance of having the parents and you are grateful to them, then it is the best way of
showing the gratitude. They demand nothing from you. All you can give them is respect and love. Those who
actually understand what is it to have parents and how they make your world better than you imagine they will
know that your parents have no selfish motives and they love you selflessly. They want nothing from you just
your love and respect. Respect them for this is the only way to thank them for everything .

3.Healthy lifestyles. My food pyramid. Healthy lifestyle presupposes also healthy food. This is why they say
that “We are what we eat”. Our daily menu should include meat, milk products, fruits and vegetables. Fruits
and vegetables contain different vitamins and give us energy. People usually avoid eating fast food. For a
healthy person there’s no room for smoking, alcohol or drugs because they are sure to destroy both body and
brain. Your body works very hard to keep you healthy so you should not do things that work against your body.
Another component to being healthy is exercise. You should exercise daily, even if it is just for an hour.
Exercising keeps the body in shape and youthful. People who exercise also have good strength and are able to
perform physical activity for a good amount of time .

3. Who is a true friend? Most positive people we meet in life become our friends. It's is especially good if they
share the same interests with us. However, it's necessary to realize that only a few of them stay true friends. As
the time goes by we realize that these few become almost like a family for us.
I'd like to tell you about some good friends of mine. Two years ago I transferred to another school, as we
moved to a new house. At first I thought my old connections will be lost, but I was wrong. Gradually my new
classmates became my friends. We started spending lots of time together, participating in l traditional school
events and simply playing together at the playground. I rarely called my two best friends from the old
surrounding. However they were always there for me if I needed help or support .

Examination questions №24
1. Read the first two paragraphs of the text (English 10, pg. 194) and tell the legend about Waharman.
There is a legend about the origin of the most delicious melon variety vaharman. It says that long time ago the
girl named Arman and her beloved one were crossing the sun scorched desert towards their native village. The
water ran out, and the sea of sands had neither end nor edge. The young man and the girl were exhausted. The
girl fell unconscious at the same time as her beloved one did. After a while, Arman woke up and realized that
they could die without water in the desert. Then she began praying to God, asking to save the young man at the
cost of her life.
God took the girl's life but sent a big juicy melon instead. When the young man regained consciousness, he saw
an extraordinary fruit lying next to him and decided to taste its pulp. After satisfying his hunger and thirst, he
remembered about Arman and realized that she had saved him from certain death. The young man burst into
tears and exclaimed, "Vah, Arman!" After he had returned home, he planted the melon seed in the ground and
watered it with his tears. The legend says that the melon variety vaharman, which has the incomparable taste,

3. Our national values. The national dress of Turkmenistan has changed very little over the centuries. The
distinctive high, shaggy sheepskin hats worn by men help keep the hot sun from their heads and, combined with
their red robes over shirts, create a very striking image. Women, too, still wear the traditional clothing of a long
silk shift over narrow trousers that are trimmed with a band of embroidery at the ankle. Richly decorated
headwear, jewelry and embroidery accent even everyday clothing.
Among the most important values for the Turkmen are friendship and love, always maintaining friendly
relations with their neighbors - it is said that "If your neighbor is happy, you will be happy too."
Another common saying concerns horses, which Turkmen have bred and trained for millennia: "Water is a
Turkmen’s life, a horse is his wings, and a carpet is his soul." The Turkmen’s horse is virtually part of the
family and the beautiful Akhal-Teke breed is the national emblem .
