On the morning of 31 October 2003, Bethany Hamilton and some friends decided to go surfing. The sky was clear, the sun was shining and it was a perfect day for enjoying the big waves near the island of Kauai, Hawaii.
The 13-year-old surfing star was lying sideways on her surfboard about 300 metres from the shore with her left arm in the clear, blue water. Her friends were floating nearby, looking out to sea. They were all waiting for the next big wave.
Suddenly a five-metre tiger shark appeared just below the surface and attacked her. It bit her left arm and shook her violently backwards and forwards. Bethany saw the water around her turn red. She held on to her board and the shark swam away - but it took her arm with it. It also took a huge piece of her board. Luckily for Bethany, the shark attacked only once. It all happened so fast that she didn't even scream.
In her mind, Bethany repeated: 'Get to the beach. Get to the beach. She started to paddle towards it with one arm. Her friends didn't know about the shark attack - they thought at first that she was joking. Then they saw the blood and quickly came to help. It took fifteen minutes to reach the shore. They called the emergency services and Bethany eventually got to hospital.
Bethany's parents are both keen surfers. As a baby, Bethany liked to splash in the shallow water. She started surfing at the age of five. By thirteen, she was one of the best teenage surfers in the world, and was planning to become a professional surfer. Then the shark attack happened.
The really incredible thing about Bethany is that only ten weeks later she was surfing again in a competition. Less than a year after the accident she won first place in a surfing competition in Hawaii. Before the accident, a lot of professional surfers thought that Bethany was going to be the women's world champion one day. After the accident, they haven't changed their minds.
Last month I visited an English school and we organized a night of food. I did not think it would be so interesting. This event took place all night on Friday. All students of the school gathered in the assembly hall. each brought with him something special from the food. For this event I have prepared cupcakes. This dish is very tasty and unique. All night we talked and shared our dishes and cooking recipes. We had an amazing time until six in the morning.

Educational system in Britain has strict quality standards. It is compulsory for all children aged 5 to 16 to study. British education is divided into two segments: state schools, which are free of charge, and private schools, which are paid for. Over 90% of children attend state public schools. Also Great Britain has two different systems of education: one is used in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and the other is used in Scotland.
The most popular schools in Britain are Boarding Schools. These are institutions where kids not only study, but live. In Britain, as in many other countries, there is a pre-school education, i.e. there are nursery schools for children from 2 to 7. After the nursery school, kids attend Junior Schools till they are 13. During these years children have to pass an obligatory exam, called SAT (Standard Assessment Tests) twice. In case, they pass it successfully, they can easily transfer to the next step, which is called Senior School. This school is for children aged 13 to 18, and it prepares its pupils for the special exam called GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education). It is also the time for future profession choice.
The main subjects at British schools are English, Mathematics, Geography, Art, Science, History, Physical Education, Information Technology, Music, Religious education and others. According to the classification of schools by gender, education in Britain can be divided into three types of institutions: mixed schools, schools for girls and schools for boys.
Higher education in Great Britain is quite expensive, especially for foreign students. However, there are sometimes tuition grants for talented students.
Образовательная система в Британии имеет строгие стандарты качества. Всем детям от 5 до 16 лет обязательно нужно учиться. Британское образование подразделяется на два сегмента: государственные школы, которые бесплатны, и частные школы, которые платны. Более 90% детей посещают государственные общеобразовательные школы. Также в Великобритании есть две различные системы образования: одна применима в Англии, Уэльсе и Северной Ирландии, а другая применима в Шотландии.
Самыми популярными в Британии являются школы-пансионы. Это учебные заведения, в которых дети не только учатся, но и живут. В Британии, как и во многих других странах, есть дошкольное образование, т.е. есть детские сады для детей от 2 до 7 лет. После детского сада, дети ходят в младшую школу до 13 лет. За эти годы дети должны пройти обязательный экзамен, под названием SAT (Стандартный Оценочный Тест) дважды. В случае, если они сдадут его успешно, они могут легко перейти на следующую ступень, которая называется старшей школой. Эта школа для детей от 13 до 18 лет, и она готовит своих студентов к специальному экзамену GCSE (Общий Сертификат о Среднем Образовании). Это также время для выбора будущей профессии.
Основными предметами в Британских школах являются: английский язык, математика, география, искусство, наука, история, физкультура, информатика, музыка, религиозное образование и другие. В соответствии с классификацией школ по половой принадлежности, образование Великобритании можно разделить на три типа учреждений: смешанные школы, школы для девочек и школы для мальчиков.
Высшее образование в Великобритании довольно дорогое, особенно для иностранных студентов. Однако иногда бывают гранты на обучение для талантливых студентов
