На английском языкеПеревод на русский языкMy Favourite FlowerМой любимый цветокFlowers are regarded as a marvelous creation of nature. That’s how the nature speaks to us. It conveys love, peace and harmony through flowers. Any event receives a new meaning when decorated with flowers. To my mind all flowers are bewitching and glorious: red tulips, field daisies, chrysanthemums, lilacs, orchids. But my favourite flower is the red rose. In my opinion, it is the most beautiful and graceful flower. It can be presented to show ardent love and devotion. However, most people buy them on any occasion, be it someone’s birthday or wedding day, anniversary or special holiday. People know that roses show respect and good attitude. That’s why nearly everyone loves them. Rose oil and petals are used in gastronomy and cosmetology. For example, I know that some nations make a delicious marmalade from rose petals. And, the beauticians use the essence of rose to make face masks or conditioner for hair. Speaking about the heavenly scent of this flower, I should mention that I adore rose-based fragrances. I think that many people would agree that it’s one of the best scents. Bees also like the scent of a rose. They eagerly stock its sweet nectar. Vivid colours of roses often attract the attention of butterflies. Roses grow on a long, slender stalk, which is often covered with sharp thorns. For this reason there is a well-known saying “There’s no rose without a thorn”, meaning that every beautiful thing or desirable situation has its share of difficulty. In conclusion, I’d like to say that roses give the world not only their beauty and message of love, but they are also rather useful.Цветы относятся к чудесным созданиям природы. Таким образом, природа общается с нами. Посредством цветов она передает любовь, мир и гармонию. Любое событие получает новый смысл, если украшено цветами. На мой взгляд, все цветы чарующи и прекрасны: красные тюльпаны, полевые ромашки, хризантемы, сирень, орхидеи. Но мой любимый цветок - красная роза. По-моему, это самый красивый и изящный цветок. Его дарят, чтобы показать страстную любовь и привязанность. Тем не менее, большинство людей покупают их по любому поводу, будь то чей-то день рождения или день свадьбы, юбилей или особый праздник. Люди знают, что розы выказывают уважение и хорошее отношение. Вот почему почти все их любят. Розовое масло и лепестки используются в гастрономии и косметологии. Например, я знаю, что в некоторых странах делают вкуснейшее варенье из лепестков роз. А косметологи используют масло розы для изготовления масок для лица или кондиционера для волос. Говоря о божественном аромате этого цветка, должна сказать, что просто обожаю ароматы на основе розы. Я думаю, что многие люди согласятся, что это один из лучших ароматов. Пчелам также нравится запах розы. Они с удовольствием запасаются ее сладким нектаром. Яркий окрас роз часто привлекают внимание бабочек. Розы растут на длинной, тонкой ножке, которая зачастую покрыта острыми шипами. По этой причине существует известное высказывание «Нет розы без шипов», означающее, что каждая красивая вещь или желаемая ситуация имеют свою долю трудностей. В заключение, я хотела бы сказать, что розы дарят миру не только свою красоту и любовное послание, но и ощутимую пользу.

It was getting dark when Laura got to her sister’s place. The entrance door was LOCKed.
Laura pressed the doorbell and HEARd quick footsteps. “It’s so nice of you to come,’ Laura’s sister Betty opened the door.
“Come in. We have PUT a meat pie into the oven. I think it’ll be ready in forty minutes or so. You aren’t very hungry, are you?”
Betty was seven years YOUNGer than Laura, but she was much better at housekeeping.
When Laura entered the house, she saw four WOMeN in the sitting room.
They nodded and went on talking. “Where’s Ken?” asked Laura. “He is REPAIRing his car in the garage,” Laura said.
“He will JOIN us soon.”

Dr Michael Werner says that he has eaten nothing for four years. The German SCIENtists explains that he gets all his energy from sunlight. He says he drinks only water and DIFFERent fruit juices. Dr Werner has written an EXCITing book about his experiences. In it he says that when he started the experiment he even put on weight.
He says: "I can't really give an EXPLAnation of what’s happening to me; perhaps I just believe in my theory."
Dr Werner’s colleagues say that only plants can produce energy from the sun, and they cannot explain how he is able to stay HEALTHy.
“This case ,PROBABLy, needs a lot more research before we will be able to explain it,” they say.
What is the largest animal on the planet? My uncle says that it’s the blue whale. He is a SCIENtist and knows a lot about them. The blue whale is an endangered animal, nowadays, people protect whales. FORTUNATly, They study these BEAUTiful animals instead of killing them. Blue whales are notDANGERous to people. It’s unBELIEVABLE but these huge whales eat plankton – small plants and animals.
