Bill gates
everyone has heard of bill gates one of the richest and most successful people in the world. he became the world’s youngest billionaire at the age of 31.
he was born on 28th october, 1955 in seattl , usa at school bill soon showed that
he was very intelligent and especially good at maths and science. his parents decided to send him to lakeside the private school where he first began to use computers. 13 – year- old bill and his school friend paul allen were soon spending all their time writing programs and learning about computers instead of doing their home work.!
after finishing school in 1973 bill went to harvard, america’s most famous university. the next year he and paul allen wrote an operating program for the altair, one of the world’s first microcomputers. the two friends started microsoft in 1975 and gates left harvard. before long microsoft was a major business success. since then the company has continued to grow, producing most of the world’s leading pc software. one reason for his success is tat gates has always been very ambitious and hard working. this has not left him much time for a normal personal life but in 19 94 he married melinda french, a microsoft employee and in 1995he wrote a best selling book, the road ahead.
bill has mixed fillings about spending so much time running microsoft. “ there are a lot of experiences i haven’t had, but i do like my job” he says. when he finds time to relax he likes puzzles, golf and reading about science. for such a rich person, his life is simple, and he spends little on himself and his family. gates is very generous. he has already given huge amounts of money to charity and says that he plans to give away almost all of his wealth when he retires.

every person has his own idea of a perfect house.
i usually have two or three meals a day on weekdays and four meals on my day off. i don't often have an opportunity to have a dinner when i'm at school. my meals are: breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper or tea.
some of my friends have a snack rather than a meal in the morning. but my breakfast is a full meal and i have it at 7 o'clock. it is usually bacon and eggs. afterwards come sandwiches with butter and cheese or sausages, or sometimes jam. then i drink tea or coffee.
i have lunch at about 12 o'clock. it starts with fruit juice. then i have a vegetable salad and sandwiches again or pies with tea.
dinner is at three or four o'clock. for dinner i have soup or borsch for starter, and meat or fish with a lot of vegetables for main course. for dessert i often have stewed fruit or jelly.
and at last supper. it is at seven or eight. my mother usually cooks fried fish and mashed potatoes, beefsteak and omelette. and salads, of course. then i prefer a glass of warm milk with biscuits. sometimes before going to bed i drink orange juice or eat an apple.
russian:
как правило, я кушаю два или три раза в день по будням и четыре раза по выходным. я не часто имею возможность пообедать, когда я в школе. мои приёмы пищи таковы: завтрак, ланч, обед и ужин или чай.
утром многие из моих друзей перекусывают, а не едят полноценно. но мой завтрак- полценный приём пищи. я завтракаю в 7 часов. как правило, это бекон и яйца. затем бутерброды с маслом и сыром или колбасой, а иногда и вареньем. потом я пью чай или кофе.
ланч у меня около 12 часов. он начинается фруктовым соком. затем я ем овощной салат и бутерброды или пироги с чаем.
обед в три или четыре часа. на обед у меня суп или борщ для начала, и мясо или рыба с большим количеством овощей в качестве основного блюда. на десерт я часто пью компот или кисель.
и, наконец, ужин в семь или восемь. моя мама обычно готовит жареную рыбу и картофельное пюре, бифштекс или омлет. и салаты, конечно. затем я предпочитаю стакан теплого молока с печеньем. иногда перед сном я пью апельсиновый сок или ем яблоко.
