"Library is a temple of books”, -- somebody said. And I
fully agree
with these wise words. Every person in our country more than 14 years
old, I’m sure, at least once visited a library. The majority of young

only give us a vast choice of books, but also offer excellent
opportunities of having rest. |

Long ago ancient Greeks often waged wars.
Small states suffered and lost
much even if they did not take any side and stayed out of wars. The

neighbours. He was a good diplomat because his negotiations were
successful and Elis was recognized a neutral state. |

They say, "Health is above wealth." One
of the first duties we owe to
ourselves is to keep our bodies in perfect health. If your body suffers
from any disorder, our mind suffers with it, and we are unable to make
much progress in knowledge, and we are unfit to perform those duties,
which are required of us in social life.

Snowboarding is the fastest growing
winter sport and is set to become
even more popular than skiing. It is hard to say who actually "invented"
the first snowboard because it was influenced by many different people
including Sherman Poppen, Demetrije Milovich, Tom Sims and Jake Burton
Carpenter. Snowboarding's roots, however, may be traced back to the
early 1920's. |
Skiing is the most popular of all winter
sports. It is believed that
skiing comes from northern Europe and Siberia, where it was a vital
means of transportation during the long, snowbound months of winter. The
pre-historic people of these regions used skis to keep hunters on top
of the snow. |

Tagil to Moscow.

In our time, life is not so interesting
and exciting as it can be. The
world has become a bland and safe place. Each day is like another and we

 Nach Abschluß der Schule beginnt für
Millionen ehemalige Schüler das
selbständige Leben. Viele Möglichkeiten gibt es: das Technikum, die
Hochschule, die Universität. Es ist nicht leicht zwischen mehr als 2000
Berufen einen Beruf zu wählen. Manche holen sich Rat bei den Eltern,
andere können sich sogar nach Beendigung der Schule zu Nichts
entschließen. |
Der Arbeitstag
meiner Eltern beginnt gewöhnlich sehr früh. Die Mutter
erwacht am frühesten und bereitet das Frühstück zu. Der Vater steht
etwas später auf, wäscht und rasiert sich schnell und hilft der Mutter
den Tisch zumFrühstück zu decken. |
Meine Eltern
arbeiten und kommen erst abends nach Hause. Sie sind
müde und brauchen Entspannung. Sie machen aber noch viel im Haushalt.
Darum müssen wir Kinder ihnen Hilfe leisten, damit sie sich auch gut
ausruhen können. Jeden Tag bringe ich mein Zimmer in Ordnung und am
Sonnabend stehe ich beim Aufräumen der ganzen Wohnung auch nicht
abseits. |
In jeder Stadt

Die Eltern
sind nicht nur meine Erzieher, sondern auch meine besten
Freunde und Berater. Sie kümmern sich täglich um meine Gesundheit,
sorgen dafür, dass ich alles Nötige für meinen Unterricht habe. Wenn ich
am Morgen erwache, steht schon mein Frühstück auf dem Tisch und wenn
ich aus der Schule nach Hause komme, wartet schon auf mich das fertige
Mittagessen. |
Meine Mutter

Figur und sieht immer sehr attraktiv aus. Mir gefällt nicht nur ihr
Äußeres, sondern auch ihr Charakter, ihr ganzes Wesen. |
Europa liegt auf der nördlichen Halbkugel der Erde. Es

Uralgebirge. |
