You can't choose family and place of born but you are free to choose place for living to enjoy you time...
Aisha Tyler Quotes:
You can't control where you were born, the family you were born into, what you look like; you can't control any of those circumstances. The only thing you can control is how you react.
I think it is very important to have friends, because any person needs someone to communicate and share interests with.
My best friend is my classmate Pavel. He is fifteen. He is a tall boy with a round face and grey eyes. His hair is short and fair. Pavel lives very close to my block of flats. We often spend time together. We go for walks, play computer games and do our homework. I really enjoy spending my time with him. Pavel is a very good pupil and he studies really well. Sometimes he helps me with school subjects if I have any difficulties.
I should say that my classmates are really friendly. We always help each other and I usually invite them over to my apartment for birthday parties.
Pavel and my classmates are not my only friends. I have other friends outside school, too. Mary is one of them. She is older than me. Mary studies in the 11th form. She likes dancing and has a big collection of music on Apple music. She wants to be a professional dancer and she knows many interesting facts about musicians and music in general. She doesn't have much time because she attends dancing classes and I am sure that she will make a wonderful career as a dancer. Reading is Mary's other hobby. She always buys new books and we exchange them. It is great to have common interests.
All of my friends like computer games. We play online games and have fun. I am really lucky to have such wonderful friends.

Топик Pen Friends and Emails – Друзья по переписке
Modern technologies made it possible for people to communicate easily in a way which is more convenient for them. There are different ways of communication today: older ones like post, telephone and fax and modern ones like email, SMS and social media sites. It has become much easier to write an email and send it to your friend or colleague and you are sure that it will reach its addressee in a few seconds even if the distance between you is huge.
It has also become very easy to meet new people and make friends at distance. With the help of such social media sites like Instagram, Facebook or their Russian analogues VK.com or Odnoklassniki you can either find people who you have lost contact with or make new friends. Forums and chats help people with similar interests to create groups and discuss things that interest them. Many of them meet in real life and communicate.
As for me, I consider myself a "digital native" and I am interested in new gadgets and the Internet. I usually spend my free time on social media sites too. I have profiles on Instagram and Facebook and post pictures and status updates. It's nice to get comments on them and also it is cool to hear from people who you haven't heard from for a long time. Furthermore, it is easy to drop a message to your friends or discuss something online. My parents are "digital immigrants", so I had to teach them to use the Internet and email. I am proud that I succeeded in it and now they have their own profiles on some social media sites and use email often.
I have got some pen friends too. One of them, Tom, lives in America in Texas. He is my peer and we usually drop each other emails. On the one hand, it is extremely interesting to know what life is like in America and learn about their habits and culture. On the other hand, I have a very good opportunity to practice my English. I ask Tom to correct mistakes in my letters and this really helps me in my studies.
My other pen friend's name is Angela, she is from Bonn, Germany. She speaks English well and she is fascinated by Russia and our traditions and way of life, so I tell her about my country and the way we live here. Angela is thinking of learning Russian as a second foreign language.
I think it is really important to have pen friends from different countries. This will help you practice English or another language that you learn and also it will give you an opportunity to learn something about the life of other countries and their culture.

Топик My Favourite Holiday - Мои любимые праздники
My favourite holiday, or, better to say, holidays are, definitely, the New Year and Christmas. I n Russia the New Year is celebrated twice — on January 1, according to the Gregorian calendar, and on January 14, according to the Julian calendar which was used in Russia before 1918. Christmas is a traditional holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus with both religious and secular aspects. It is commonly observed on December, 25 by Catholics, and on January, 7 by the Russian Orthodox Church. New Year and Christmas are the first, and the most joyful, holidays of the year, when people see the Old Year off and the New Year in. I enjoy the holidays for several reasons. Firstly, they have a special atmosphere of joy and excitement everyone looks forward to for several months. They are holidays of renewal and magic, exchanging presents and wishes. Most people, irrespective of their age, stay up all night on December, 31, setting off fireworks and making merry. Father Christmas and Snow Maiden are the popular characters of TV programmes and school festivals though no one except very young children believes in their existence. The second reason I prefer this holiday to all the rest is that it is the centre of the New Year and Christmas season which is, in fact, a sequence of holidays. It starts on the 25th of December and finishes on January 14, and everyone has a chance of relaxing after a long period of hard and stressful work.
There are many New Year and Christmas traditions which make these holidays so special. For Christmas people decorate their houses with mistletoe and the Christmas tree, go to church, send Christmas cards — and, of course, give and receive gifts.
My favourite Christmas tradition has been receiving and giving presents since my childhood when gifts were put into stockings for me and I believed it was Father Christmas who brought them, unheard and unseen while I was sleeping. I believe Christmas presents should be special and have a touch of magic, enabling your dearest wishes to come true. Firstly, giving gifts to all the members of the family adds to love and affection in it and helps to forget minor quarrels and misunderstandings. It makes you believe you are a family no matter what happens. Secondly, it creates the atmosphere of joy and magic. This simple and long-standing tradition helps you to believe in miracles and renewal, and regain optimism if you are in trouble.
I believe Christmas is not as popular in Russia as in most Christian countries. There are two main reasons why it is not. The first one is that after the Revolution of 1917 Christmas celebrations were banned in the Soviet Union for the next seventy-five years, and a century-old tradition was destroyed. It is being restored now, but it will take some time to do it. The second one is that in Russia there is a long-standing tradition of celebrating the New Year whose traditions are very similar to those of Christmas. The only difference is that Christmas is a Christian holiday marking the birth of Jesus Christ, and Christianity is not as wide-spread in Russia now as it used to be before the Revolution.

Translate the following sentences into English - Переведите предложения на английский язык
В России Новый год празднуют дважды: 1 января по григорианскому календарю, и 14 января по юлианскому календарю.
Рождество отмечает рождение Иисуса Христа и имеет религиозный и светский аспекты.
Новый год — это праздник, в который люди провожают старый год и встречают Новый год и не ложатся спать всю ночь 31 декабря.
Новый год отличает особая атмосфера радости и волнения, обновления и чудес.
Рождество не так популярно в России как в других христианских странах по двум причинам: во-первых, оно было запрещено в России после революции 1917 года, во-вторых, подобные традиции характерны для Нового года, который популярен в стране.

Топик My favourite holidays and celebrations - Мои любимые праздники
I want to tell you about my favourite holidays. Russians like holidays a lot. We usually celebrate each of them with a lot of food and presents and in big groups of relatives and friends.
I like New Year a lot. My mother and I usually decorate a New Year tree with colourful glass balls and toys. I also like cooking New Year supper, especially Olivier salad. At night we have a real feast. We eat what we have cooked and watch TV. After clock strikes midnight, New Year comes. We drink champagne and give each other presents.
My other favourite celebration is my birthday which is in September. On this day I am in the centre of attention. My parents and friends give me presents, and I usually have a birthday party at home. I invite close friends and we have fun together.
I also like St.Valentine's Day, which is a new holiday in Russia. It is celebrated on the 14th of February. On this day I usually give small greeting cards to all my friends as a sign of my attention. We also have Love mail at school. A box is placed on the ground floor of the building and anybody can put into it a card with the name of the person it is addressed to and the number of the form. In the middle of the day the mail is delivered and it is nice to get a card from a person you don't know.
I really enjoy holidays and celebrations!

Текст и перевод на русский язык песни Let her go – Отпусти её. В исполнении Passenger [ видео внизу ]
Let her go
Отпусти её
Well you only need the light
When it's burning low
Only miss the sun
When it starts to snow
Only know you love
Her when you let her go
Only know you've been high
When you're feeling low
Only hate the road
When you’re missin' home
Only know you love her
When you let her go
And you let her go
Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast
You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies
But you only need the light
When it's burning low
Only miss the sun
When it starts to snow
Only know you love
Her when you let her go
Only know you've been high
When you're feeling low
Only hate the road
When you’re missin' home
Only know you love her
When you let her go
Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast
Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much
And you dived too deep.
Что ж, тебе нужен свет,
Когда костер горит тускло,
Лишь тогда ты скучаешь о солнце,
Когда начинается снегопад.
Лишь тогда ты понимаешь, что любишь её,
Когда ты позволил ей уйти.
Лишь тогда ты понимаешь, что был счастлив,
Когда тебе становится грустно,
Лишь тогда начинаешь ненавидеть дорогу,
Когда начинаешь скучать по дому.
Лишь тогда ты понимаешь, что любишь ее,
Когда позволяешь ей уйти,
И ты позволил ей уйти.
Ты уставился на дно стакана,
И надеешься, что когда-нибудь продлишь этот сон,
Но сны приходят медленно, зато кончаются быстро.
Как только закрываешь глаза, сразу видишь её,
Возможно, однажды ты поймешь, почему всё,
Чего ты касаешься, неизбежно гибнет.
Но тогда тебе нужен свет,
Когда костер горит тускло,
Лишь тогда ты скучаешь о солнце,
Когда начинается снегопад.
Лишь тогда ты понимаешь, что любишь её,
Когда ты позволил ей уйти.
Лишь тогда ты понимаешь, что был счастлив,
Когда тебе становится грустно,
Лишь тогда начинаешь ненавидеть дорогу,
Когда начинаешь скучать по дому.
Лишь тогда ты понимаешь, что любишь ее,
Когда ты позволил ей уйти
В темноте ты уставился в потолок,
В твоём сердце та же пустота, потому что
Любовь рождается медленно, но умирает быстро.
Ты видишь ее, когда засыпаешь
Но тебе её не коснуться и не удержать, потому что
Ты любил слишком сильно,
И погрузился слишком глубоко.

Текст и перевод на русский язык песни Why worry – Зачем беспокоиться. В исполнении Dire Straits [ видео внизу ]
Why worry
Зачем беспокоиться
Baby
I see this world has made you sad
Some people can be bad
The things they do, the things they say
But baby
I'll wipe away those bitter tears
I'll chase away those restless fears
That turn your blue skies into grey
Why worry
There should be laughter after the pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now
Why worry now
Baby
When I get down I turn to you
And you make sense of what I do
I know it isn't hard to say
But baby
Just when this world seems mean and cold
Our love comes shining red and gold
And all the rest is by the way
Why worry
There should be laughter after the pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now
Why worry now
Детка,
я вижу, снова ты грустишь
Обидел мир тебя, малыш,
Поступки чьи-то и слова,
Но детка…
сотру следы я горьких слёз,
Рой отгоню тревожных грёз,
От них сереют небеса.
Не беспокойся,
Смех зазвенит и боль уйдет,
Сиянье солнца сменит дождь,
И так бывает каждый раз,
Не беспокойся...
не беспокойся сейчас
Детка,
к тебе иду, когда беда,
И ты поймешь меня всегда,
Да, это так легко сказать…
Но детка,
пусть мир так холоден сейчас,
Любовь согреет солнцем нас,
И только это важно знать
Не беспокойся,
Смех зазвенит и боль уйдет,
Сиянье солнца сменит дождь,
И так бывает каждый раз,
Не беспокойся...
не беспокойся сейчас
Топик The Seasons of the Year. My Favourite Season – Времена года. Мое любимое время года
My name is Yuri. I'm thirteen. I would like to tell about my favourite season of the year.
It's a universal truth that every season is beautiful in its own way. Isn't it wonderful to tramp down the country lanes on a frosty winter day. Everything is white with snow and it crunches under your feet. The rime sparkles on the branches and the icicles like precious diamonds hang from the roofs of the houses.
It's a merry time for both children and grownups. They can go skating and skiing, sledging and having a fight with snowballs or making a snowman. I suppose, it is very pleasant while the frost lasts, an unpleasant time comes when the thaw begins.
Cars and buses go along streets splashing the mud an slush on the passers-by. Everyone is grumbling and scolding the weather. But soon a warm wind blows up heavy grey clouds and the sun shines brightly in the cloudless azure sky. In a few months summer will come.
Summer is the most suitable season for holidays and vacations. People enjoy bright summer days if they are in the country or at the seaside. They go bathing and swimming, and fishing and boating. But it's unbearable to stay in town on such hot and glaring days. Everybody droops and shambles and tries to hide in the shade.
Then after a good rest autumn and harvest time comes. The corn has turned golden and the farmer will reap it and put it in his barn. The air is fresh and full of the autumn fragrance of ripe apples, plums and peaches and of course, coloured asters, chrysanthemums.
But the weather is so changeable in autumn, people have to wear raincoats and umbrellas if they don't want to get wet through. The dead leaves cover the ground like a thick motley carpet, the roads are slippery and wet, there are lots of puddles in the streets and again everyone is looking forward to frosty winter days and much snow out-of-doors.
It's rather difficult to say what season is the best one, however dull and nasty or charming and marvellous the weather may be.
As to me, I always look forward to summer. I am never tired of its long sunny days, warm rains with thunderstorms and hail, the buzz of mosquitoes and midges. I like to spend my summer holidays at the seaside.
In my childhood I used to enjoy playing on the beach, making castles and forts in the sands. When one becomes older one begins to notice the murmur of the sea and it's so beautiful to look at the moon's way on the water in the darkness. The air is fresh and it's easy to breathe.
I like to lie in the sun getting as brown, paddle in the water or get splashed by the waves. But it's not every year that you can go to the seaside. Sometimes I spend my holidays in the country. Most of my time I spend in the woods gathering strawberries and flowers or at the river bathing and swimming in it.
Very often, I help my granny in the vegetable garden weeding it or gathering tomatoes, cucumbers or radish. I like to walk in the rain or just sit indoors watching the raindrops falling down from the green leaves and blades of the grass onto the ground.
When summer is over, I always feel sorry, because it was too short and was too quick to pass.
[ перевод ]
Меня зовут Юрий. Мне тринадцать лет. Я хочу рассказать о моем любимом времени года.
Общеизвестна истина, что каждое время года красиво по-своему. Не чудесно ли побродить по деревенским тропинкам в морозный зимний день. Все вокруг белое от снега, и снег скрипит под ногами. На ветвях деревьев сверкает иней, и, как драгоценные камни, свисают с крыш домов сосульки.
Это веселое время как для детей, так и для взрослых. Они могут покататься на коньках, на лыжах, на санках, побросаться снежками или слепить снеговика. Я считаю, что пока длятся морозы, очень приятно, но когда наступает оттепель — приходит неприятное время.
Машины и автобусы, едущие по улицам, разбрызгивают грязь и талый снег на прохожих. Каждый ворчит на погоду и ругает ее. Но вскоре теплый ветер разгоняет тяжелые серые тучи, и солнце светит ярко в безоблачном лазурном небе. Через несколько месяцев придет лето.
Лето — самое подходящее время для отпусков и каникул. Люди наслаждаются яркими солнечными днями, если они в деревне или на море. Они купаются и плавают, ловят рыбу и катаются на лодках. Но невыносимо находиться в городе в такие жаркие и палящие дни. Все сутулятся к волочат ноги, пытаясь спрятаться в тени.
Затем, после хорошего отдыха, приходит осень, время уборки урожая. Пшеница стала золотой, и фермеры соберут ее и засыпят в амбары. Воздух свеж и полон осеннего аромата спелых яблок, слив, персиков и, конечно, разноцветных астр и хризантем.
Но осенью погода такая изменчивая, людям приходится носить плащи и зонтики, если они не хотят промокнуть насквозь. Опавшие листья покрывают землю толстым пестрым ковром, дороги скользкие и мокрые. На улицах много луж, и опять все с нетерпением ожидают морозных зимних дней.
Довольно трудно сказать, какое время года самое лучшее, какой бы скучной и ненастной или прелестной и изумительной ни была погода.
Что касается меня, я всегда с нетерпением жду лета. Я никогда не устаю от его длинных солнечных дней, теплых дождей с грозами и градом, жужжанием комаров и мошек. Мне нравится проводить летние каникулы на море.
В детстве я часто любил играть на пляже, делая замки и крепости из песка. Когда человек взрослеет, он начинает замечать особенный шум моря. Так красиво, когда смотришь в темноте на лунную дорожку на воде. Воздух свежий, и легко дышится.
Мне нравится загорать, становиться коричневым, плескаться в воде, или когда тебя забрызгивают волны. Но не каждый год можно поехать к морю. Иногда я провожу каникулы в деревне. Большую часть времени я провожу в лесу, собирая землянику и цветы, или у реки, купаясь и плавая в ней.
Я часто помогаю бабушке в огороде, полю сорняки или собираю помидоры, огурцы или редис. Мне нравится гулять под дождем или просто сидеть в доме, наблюдая как капли дождя стекают по зеленым листочкам и стебелькам травы на землю.
Когда заканчивается лето, мне всегда жаль этого, потому что оно было таким коротким и так быстро пролетело.
