People do usually say that nature is our mother. It gives a person everything that is necessary for life, even though we don't always appreciate its gifts. What could be better than the warm sun, majestic mountains, and blooming trees in the spring? The world of nature is very rich and varied. There are hundreds of thousands of species, many of which we've never seen in our life.
We all used to live in a world that seems to be built by ourselves. We live in big houses equipped with high-tech consumer devices; we are able to travel long distances using cars, trains, and planes. We are able to know what is happening thousands of miles away, over the Internet or television. But all of this is secondary. We use the knowledge of the laws of nature and its power to create all these technologies anyway.
Certainly, you cannot live fully if you do not have the opportunity to bask in the summer sun, enjoy the fresh morning air, breathe the scent of roses, see billions of stars high in the night sky. Some may disagree, but all of us need these simple pleasures from time to time. People like to spend their weekend and holidays outdoors so that communication with nature helps them to relax and gather strength to solve important problems in our "human" world.
It is very frustrating that people are fascinated by the development of new technologies that often damage the nature. Our activity causes the pollution of the environment, climate changes, extinction of animals and plants. Years ago it was not very noticeable, but now the people in the big cities just cannot breathe.
Remember that by harming nature we make ourselves worse too. So we cannot be indifferent and have to keep wealth and beauty of our nature.
Топик "Природа"
Часто люди говорят, что природа - наша мать. Она дает человеку все, что необходимо для жизни, хотя мы не всегда ценим ее подарки. Что может быть лучше, чем теплое солнце, величественные горы и цветущие деревья весной? Мир природы очень богат и разнообразен. Существуют сотни тысяч видов, многие из которых мы никогда не видели в нашей жизни.
Мы привыкли жить в мире, который, кажется, построен нами самими. Живем в огромных домах, оснащенных высокотехнологичными потребительскими устройствами; мы можем путешествовать на большие расстояния, используя автомобили, поезда и самолеты. Мы можем узнать, что происходит за тысячи километров, через Интернет или телевидение. Но все это вторично. В любом случае, мы используем знания о законах природы и их силе для создания всех этих технологий.
Конечно, вы не можете полноценно жить, если у вас нет возможности погреться на летнем солнышке, насладиться свежим утренним воздухом, вдохнуть запах роз, увидеть высоко в ночном небе миллиарды звезд. Некоторые могут не соглашаться, но все мы иногда нуждаемся в этих удовольствиях. Люди любят проводить выходные и праздники на открытом воздухе, чтобы общение с природой им расслабиться и собраться с силами для решения важных проблем в нашем «человеческом» мире.
Очень расстраивает то, что люди восхищаются развитием новых технологий, которые часто наносят ущерб природе. Наша деятельность часто вызывает загрязнение окружающей среды, провоцирует климатические изменения, вымирание животных и растений. Много лет назад это было не очень заметно, но теперь люди в больших городах не могут дышать.
Помните, что причиняя вред природе, мы делаем хуже и себе. Поэтому мы не можем оставаться безразличными и должны сохранять богатство и красоту нашей природы.
My name`s Diana. I`m 11. I`ve been learning English for three years. I have liked English from the first lesson because I have found it interesting and funny to speak with my friends in a foreign language. I thought it was enough to learn English only at school. Everything changed a year ago.
Last summer I happened to go to Canada. To tell the truth, my aunt and uncle live in Toronto and invited me to see them. I spent my best days with them. Every day I spoke English with native speakers, ate delicious food, did shopping and went sightseeing.
First of all, my aunt and I visited the CN Tower. Itis one of the world`s tallest buildings. It is famous for its glass floor and speed elevators. As for me, I was impressed by the breathtaking view of Toronto from the top of the tower.
I couldn`t help visiting Niagara Falls. They are beautiful and impressive. To quote my aunt, "It was like looking into the face of God".
I was impressed by Casa Loma. It`s an ancient castle. It was built by the extraordinary man Henry Pellatt. He spent all his money on this building. I saw 98 richly decorated rooms, secret passages and towers. I knew a lot about the history of the castle.
Also, I went to Toronto Zoo. It has got more than 5,ooo animals. There are ponds, waterfalls and floral displays.
On returning home I realized that I can learn English not only at school. I can enjoy watching films, read English books in the original, speak with native speakers and understand them. I understood that my education is in my hands.
Perhaps, I`ll go to Toronto to continue my education. I don`t mind studying in Canada. And you?
