Folk tales are part of traditional cultures in places all
over the world. They have several things in common:
• The beginning of the story starts with 'Once upon a
time ...'or a similar phrase.
They feature ordinary people e.g. a woodcutter,
a fisherman.
They deal with human problems e.g. family, poverty.
They contain extraordinary luck e.g. finding money
or supernatural elements e.g. a goose that lays
golden eggs.
They contain life lessons, morals or values that are
important to that culture, e.g. share your good fortune
with others.

Строгость родителей - обычно проявление их заботы, переживаний. Например, мне моя мама не разрешает идти куда-то вечером, гулять до темноты, и я понимаю её доводы. Такая строгость нужна. Но всё хорошо в пределах разумного.<br />Быть строгим родителем и лишать ребёнка свободы - две абсолютно разные вещи. Если сыну или дочери постоянно что-то запрещать, то у них появляется непреодолимая жажда свободы. Как говорится, запретный плод сладок. Те дети, которым не дают права выбора, не могут отличить хорошее от плохого, потому что им всегда запрещали и то, и другое.<br />Взрослым часто сложно понять ребёнка, и это может привести к тяжелым последствиям в семье.<br />Думаю, что самое верное решение – это не протестовать, не бунтовать против авторитета старших, а находить компромисс и научиться доверять друг другу. Тогда все будут довольны и счастливы: и подростки, и их родители. 

I would like to tell you about the wonderful city of Paris. I have never been there, but I already love this city. This is a very beautiful city. 

I can just say that Paris should not be confused with anything. To be more precise, I think the main feature of this city is its streets. Paris is the capital city of France. It is situated on the River Seine, in the north of the country, at the heart of the Île-de-France region. About 99% of the people in France speak French. French is a very widespread language. There are at least 29 countries all over the world in which French is spoken. I would like to visit the famous lavender fields in France. In the Lumberton and the Rhone Valley lavender begins to bloom mid June. The Valensole plateau and Drome Provencal begin to get covered with lavender around the beginning of July. By the way, lavender is important in medicine. Lavender can heal insect bites and burns. It can soothe headaches and cure acne. Lavender can be used as an air freshener. The essential oil is made from lavender. It was used during World War I to disinfect wards because the essential oil has antiseptic properties. Appositely, some chefs use flowers of lavender for cooking. Definitely, I want to taste French cuisine because it is one of the best in Europe. Here is some typical French food: baguette, Croquet Monsieur, escargots, Ratatouille… France is the leading country in the fashion industry. French fashion brands such as Chanel, Dior, Hermes, and Louis Vuitton were based in Paris. I think everyone who visits Paris buys something in French fashion stores.  France is an amazing country. France is a wonderful country, and we can talk about it for very long, but it is better to go there and see everything with your own eyes.
