Education prospects Let’s try to imagine the world without education, without any schools, colleges and universities. What would that be like? No school means no knowledge and skills. No university means no doctors, no engineers and no scientists. Therefore, it means no development and no inventions. Would you like to live in such a world?
Nowadays there are different kinds of education, but the most widespread is still the traditional one that includes the set of establishments providing education. For the vast majority of people, the first step is a primary school where students get the basic skills of reading, writing and counting. The next stage is secondary school which gives broad knowledge about various subjects and prepares students for future professional education. At the end of the last form school children take exams and after school graduation they have several options: to stop studying and get a job or get professional education in college or university. Students’ life is not easy because they have to take exams every term and study hard to succeed. Most people remember students’ years as the best time of their lives, full of fun and entertainment.
However, the modern world is full of new opportunities to get education. More and more schools and universities provide on-line courses and training. It has some advantages for sure, because you study in a comfortable place at a comfortable time. Also, some alternative ways are becoming more and more popular, e.g. home education or some approaches connected with developing the mind without books and strict systems.
So, it’s necessary to study and develop your skills, to use the experience of others to create your own ideas in order to implement them in life.

Перевод:
В нашей семье самым любимым праздником считается Новый год. В начале декабря у всех появляется праздничное настроение. В городе украшают улицы и витрины магазинов яркими, разноцветными гирляндами. А на главной площади устанавливают огромную ёлку. Мы начинаем готовиться к празднику. На новогодних ярмарках покупаем друг другу подарки, ёлочные игрушки и мишуру. В конце декабря дома устанавливаем искусственную ёлку и наряжаем её к празднику. 31 декабря я маме приготовить праздничный стол. Новогодняя ночь кажется мне всегда волшебной и незабываемой. В полночь, после выступления президента по телевизору, начинают бить куранты. Мы поздравляем друг друга с новым годом и загадываем желание, а потом обмениваемся подарками. Когда я была маленькая, то подарки находила под ёлкой и думала, что их мне принёс Дед Мороз. И хоть я уже взрослая, и не верю, что существует Дед Мороз, но в новогоднюю ночь хочется оказаться в сказке и поверить в чудо.
Thus says the majority of biologists in the world, since she created us without it we can not survive. I'll give you some examples: forests give us oxygen, some animal food, land, water and many of these examples.
We now live in the 21st century and many people do not want to protect nature, because nature - our lives. They are mistaken. Nature every day is getting dirtier. Many rivers are polluted by various different chemical waste, forests are reduced because of drought and burn, we do not allow it, but not enough to save nature. This environmental problem has been and will be many years until mankind does not understand that nature should be protected.
Nowadays, many of the animals die, but why? I tell you all this because of the people. If there were people, many animal and plant species have existed for a long time. Animals interact with plants, like animals plants produce oxygen, and some animals tolerate disputes and so plants develop. We live in a wonderful world that is enveloped by nature.
Forests, meadows, rivers, seas, lakes, mountains, rich in diverse flora and fauna. We must thank nature, protect and defend the most important thing. Man is also a part of it.
Love and protect nature, because it is our life.
