In the summer of 2010, when i was ten, i went to norway to visit my grandfather jorgen. he spent all his life on a small mountain farm, far from big cities and department stores. i was an american, i lived in a town, and i always thought that people simply bought what they needed. my grandfather showed me a different life. a little toy boat will always remind me of these life lessons.one day grandfather jorgen said, “come here, i have something for you. would you like to have a toy boat? you can sail it at the lake,” he said.“wonderful”, i thought, looking around for the boat. but there wasn`t any.grandfather took a piece of wood. “the boat is in there,” he said. “you can bring it out.” then he gave me a knife and showed me how to work with it. he answered my questions, but i did all the work myself.“it will be a fine boat, and you`ll be making it all with your hands,” he said. “no one can give you what you do for yourself.” he was saying it again as i was working.finally, i finished the boat. the boat wasn`t much to look at, but i was proud of it.i could say, “i did it! ”вопросы1.grandfather jorgen lived in: a)a cityb)a townc)a country2.in the sentence "but there wasn't any", the world any referts to: a) the boatb)the takec)the piece of wood3. grandfather jorgen: a)bought the toy boat for his grandsonb)made the toy boat for his grandsonc)showed his grandson how to make a toy boat4."the boat wasn't much to look at" mean that: a)the boat wasn't very niceb)the boat wasn't very bigc)the boy didn't to look at it5."i didn't" shows: a)victory,successb)surprisec)angerзаранее
Russia is a beautiful and truly great country that I can called my homeland because I was born and raised in Saint Petersburg. I love my country how can I not? Россия — это замечательная, по-настоящему великая страна, которую я имею полное право называть своей родиной, поскольку я родился и вырос в Санкт-Петербурге. Я очень люблю свою страну, да и разве можно ее не любить?
The most understanding and kind people live here, they are always there to help in case you have a problem. My parents and I travel abroad sometimes and I have never met anyone so responsive and kindhearted. Только здесь живут самые добрые и понимающие люди, которые всегда готовы прийти на окружающим в трудную минуту. Бывая с родителями за границей, я нигде не встречал такого по-настоящему душевного отношения и отзывчивости.
And of course, the nature is so beautiful in Russia. All these endless fields, coniferous forests, deep rivers, clear lakes, valleys and mountains that were depicted in various books. I especially love the Ural mountains. We went camping there with my parents when we visited my grandparents and went kayaking in the Chusovoy river. Еще, конечно же, в России потрясающая природа. Это бескрайние поля, густые хвойные леса, полноводные реки, чистые озера, равнины и горы, к описанию которых не раз обращались многие русские литературные деятели. Особенно моему сердцу близки Уральские горы. Туда мы не раз всей семьей ходили в поход, приезжая в гости к бабушке, а также сплавлялись на байдарках по реке Чусовой.
I like the fact that our country is so big and it feels like the whole life time is not enough to visit every corner of it. I’ve been to Moscow, Ekaterinburg, Rostov-on-Don and even in Noviy Urengoy and Russia is different everywhere. People who live in the South are very different from the people living in the North. Moscow and Saint Petersburg residents are totally different story. I think it’s the main secret and peculiarity of our country. Мне нравится, что наша страна очень большая и, кажется, целой жизни не хватит, чтобы объехать каждый ее уголок. Я был уже и в Москве, и в Екатеринбурге, и в Ростове-на-Дону, и даже в Новом Уренгое, и везде Россия такая разная. Люди, живущие на юге, сильно отличаются от людей, живущих на севере, а москвичи и петербуржцы — это, вообще, отдельная категория россиян. И в этом, как мне кажется, заключается одна из главных загадок и особенностей нашей страна.
I don’t just love Russia, I’m proud of it because a lot of famous scientists, researchers and artists were born here. For example, my favorite writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, people across the world are reading his book up till now. Я не просто люблю Россию, но еще и очень горжусь ей, ведь именно здесь родилось множество известных ученых, исследователей и деятелей искусства. В частности, мой самый любимый писатель Антон Павлович Чехов, произведения которого до сих пор люди с удовольствием читают во всем мире.
A lot of people I know are not happy with Russia and some of them even want to leave the country and find a better place. I understand them but I don’t support it. I think wherever you go your heart will always be connected to your home and your soul will always want to go back to your homeland. Многие мои знакомые ругают Россию, а некоторые даже хотят уехать из нее в поисках лучшей жизни. Я могу понять их стремление, но не разделяю его. Мне кажется, что куда бы ни уехал человек, сердцем он всегда будет привязан к дому, и душа его будет неизменно стремиться туда, где его родина.
Объяснение:
Before you start writing, you need to decide exactly what you’ll write about and do the necessary research.If you have to come up with your own topic for an assignment, think of what you’ve covered in class—is there a particular area that intrigued, interested, or even confused you? Topics that left you with additional questions are perfect, as these are questions you can explore in your writing.
The scope of your topics depends on what type of text you’re writing—for example, an essay, a research paper or a dissertation. Don’t pick anything too ambitious to cover within the word count, or too limited for you to find much to say.
