На английском языкеПеревод на русский языкPandaПандаPanda is one of my favourite animals. These black-and-white creatures are simply adorable. They are mammals that inhabit central parts of China. Their natural habitat is forest. They are also called giant pandas not to be confused with red pandas from the eastern Himalayas. This animal typically has got a big body, four strong paws and small eyes. It is easy to recognize pandas thanks to their distinctive black patches across their body. Their paws help them to climb the trees. Pandas usually eat bamboo leaves and drink clean water. At some extent they are carnivore. In the wild they can eat meat in the form of rodents, birds or carrion. At the zoos they can be fed by eggs, fish, shrub leaves and some fruit. Baby pandas are tiny and cute. When they are born, they weigh only one hundred grams. They start walking, when they turn three months. Pandas are considered to be good parents. They dearly love their cubs and help them in every possible way. Speaking of their strange coloring, scientists believe that it provides effective camouflage for the snowy and rocky surroundings. Pandas are terrestrial animals. Most of the time they roam in the forests looking for bamboo leaves. They live generally alone. Females alone raise the cubs and they don’t like having other females in their range. Giant pandas communicate through scents, sounds and tree clawing. Surprisingly, pandas do not hibernate like other bears.Одним из моих любимых животных является панда. Эти черно- белые существа просто очаровательны. Они относятся к млекопитающим и обитают центральные части Китая. Их естественная среда обитания – лес. Их также называют гигантскими пандами, чтобы не путать с красными пандами, обитающими в восточных Гималаях. У этого животного, как правило, большое тело, четыре сильные лапы и маленькие глаза. Панду легко узнать по отличительным черным пятнам на теле. С лап они карабкаются на деревья. Панды, как правило, едят листья бамбука и пьют чистую воду. В какой-то степени они плотоядные. В дикой природе они могут питаться мясом грызунов, птиц или падали. В зоопарках их кормят яйцами, рыбой, листьями кустарников и некоторыми фруктами. Панды-малыши крошечные и милые. Когда они рождаются, то весят всего сто грамм. Они начинают ходить в возрасте трех месяцев. Панды считаются хорошими родителями. Они очень любят своих детенышей и всячески им Говоря об их странной окраске, ученые отмечают, что это обеспечивает эффективную маскировку в снежной и скалистой местности. Панды – наземные животные. Большую часть времени они бродят в лесах в поисках листьев бамбука. Они, как правило, живут в одиночку. Женские особи сами растят детей и не любят других самок на своей территории. Гигантские панды общаются с запахов, звуков и царапин на деревьях. Удивительно, но панды не впадают в спячку, как другие медведи.
Rock MusicРок-музыкаMusic plays an integral part in everyone’s life. It’s one of the most important and powerful tools. It can cheer you up when you are sad, help you cope with stress, simply relax and motivate. As for me, I often listen to music: at home, on the way to school, in my dad’s car, when travelling, at parties and in many other occasions. Even though I like almost all types of music, my favourite style is rock. Rock music is the best remedy for me in any situation. I know that its peak of popularity was in the middle of the 20th century. However, it still attracts young people in every corner of the world. Rock is also connected with various youth subcultures, such as punks, hippie, metalheads, goths, emo. Despite its often defiant lyrics, rock music helps to express one’s personality and to release the accumulated emotions. Also, while listening to rock music, people can notice some urgent problems that worry youth. Sometimes people associate rock with rock and roll. The style appeared in the USA of 1950s and soon spread across Europe. One of the most influential figures of rock and roll was Chuck Berry – the Afro-American performer. His music is still respected and cherished. Some of my favourite modern rock bands include Linkin Park, Muse, Green Day and Red Hot Chili Peppers. My parents think that these bands play aggressive and foolish music, but I don’t agree. In my opinion, rock music makes sense. It’s rather meaningful and melodic.
