My name is nastya and I’m 16 years old. When I think about the future changes on our planet, I feel rather optimistic. As the technology rapidly progresses, many new things might come to use. For example, the space telescopes will soon send photographs of distant planets to Earth. The skyscrapers will become like separate cities, having all the necessary facilities in one building. People will be able to participate in space flights. Online romances will become more common. Robots will perform most household duties. They will also replace lots of professions. All these changes sound realistic, but nobody thinks about nature. Scientific and technologic advances can easily lead to natural collapses. The growing number of factories, their waste into the World Ocean and atmosphere are rather harmful. This means, while people will be enjoying life in smart houses and flats, animals will be dying out. The air will become so polluted that we’ll have to stay in our houses all the time and do everything from there. As I see it, life in the future will remind a real vacuum. People will work from their homes. They will buy fruit and vegetables grown only at the greenhouses. They will communicate with their relatives and friends via skype or other similar programs. If people continue leading such life, they will end up being lonely. On the other hand, I know that a growing number of people move to the countryside and create their own communities there. They build houses, that save energy. They try to use all natural resources reasonably. Hopefully, they will make life better on our planet.

I consider that man’s health depends on his mode of life. To prevent the diseases it’s necessary to keep some simple regulations: to go in for sports, to eat carefully, to take a rest and to walk frequently in the open air. I’m fifteen years old and the last three years I do my morning exercises. It inspirits and gives strength to me for a whole day. I add dousing with cold water in winter.

I think that conditioning to the cold is the main method for preserving my health. My favourite winter sports are cross-country skiing and skating. I prefer to run in the park and play tennis in summer. I go to the swimming pool twice a week the whole year round. Swimming increases the respiratory system. I also try to observe a day regimen. Every day I go to bed and get up at approximately the same time. I give special attention to meals. I don’t eat fatty and high-calorie foods and I don’t drink heavily gas-cut beverages.

At my time of life some peers smoke and drink alcohol but I think that it’s dangerous for a human organism and sooner or later it will be injurious to our health. I think that everybody must begin to take care of his health in his youth because it’s easier to take care of our health than to recover it.Переклад:Я вважаю, що здоров'я людини залежить від життя. Для того щоб не хворіти, потрібно дотримуватися кількох простих правил: займатися спортом, правильно харчуватися, повноцінно відпочивати і частіше бувати на свіжому повітрі. Мені 15 років, і з них 3 останні роки я роблю вранці зарядку. Це надає мені бадьорості і сил на весь день. Взимку я додаю обливання холодною водою.

Вважаю загартовування найголовнішим збереження здоров'я. Мої улюблені зимові види спорту це біг на лижах і катання на ковзанах. Влітку я віддаю перевагу бігати в парку і грати у великий теніс. Цілий рік я відвідую басейн два рази на тиждень. Плавання зміцнює дихальну систему. Також я намагаюся дотримуватися режиму. Я лягаю і встаю в один і той же час кожен день. Особливу увагу я приділяю харчуванню. Я не їм жирну і висококалорійну їжу, і не п'ю сильно газованих напоїв.

У моєму віці деякі однолітки вже курять і вживають алкогольні напої, але я вважаю, що це є руйнівним для організму і якщо не зараз, то в майбутньому обов'язково позначиться на здоров'ї. Мені здається, що кожна людина повинна починати дбати про своє здоров'я в молодості, так як уберегти здоров'я простіше, ніж повернути його.
