My favourite singer is Nastya Zadorozhnaya. I with the udovolstvy listen to its songs. This singer not such as all. Its songs are allocated with a deep meaning and a dushevnost. It seems to me that when standing on a scene the singer sings the songs, it very artistic for all 100 %. She tries to convey to listeners all internal state and meaning which wanted to transfer in the song. It openheartedly looks listeners in the face and sees in them reflection of the happiness and love to execution. Nastya Zadorozhnaya still the young, vigorous and perspective singer who has a voice. It not such as all. I also love it for it most than the others.

When summer vacation coming to an end, we begin to prepare for school. it is no accident that it is the first day of the school year marks the day of knowledge, it is called so. after all, what school? this is the place where we learn a lot of new and interesting things about the world, the mysteries of nature and ourselves. we gain knowledge and skills that will be useful to us throughout life, and learn to understand the beauty, to communicate with people to develop their talents. the first of september - joyful day when, after the summer holidays, we return to school to learn new skills and meet friends. this is the day when empty without school students again filled with children's voices and the rustle of notebooks. again joyfully ringing school bell, announcing the beginning and end of the lesson. i still remember how one day on september mom brought me to school the first time. i remember it was a little scary and insanely fun! so many children, flowers, music, new neat form how many unexplored ahead! i knew i was an adult, not some kind ditsadkovets, and with trepidation expecting what will be my first lesson. on this day, we go to school especially good, funny, with bouquets of flowers. our teachers, head teachers, the director said many warm parting words, we want academic excellence. in my opinion, this is good - to begin the school year with the holidays, it charges a good mood on the difficult but interesting training routine.
