The brightest sun, the clearest waters of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic ocean, the sparkling beaches and the very impressive history and culture make this corner extremely beautiful and attractive. Nowadays a lot of people from different parts of the world admire this country a lot, and I am not the exception. The name of this amazing place is Spain. They say, there is not only one Spain, there are “lots of Spains”, because every part of this country is different from another parts. They have a “dry Spain” (the north and the north-west parts of the country) and a “wet Spain” (the centre of Spain, the south and the south-east parts). Spain is the only place in the whole Europe where palm trees grow. There are hardly any cloudy or rainy days in this country. It’s the area of the eternal summer! It’s not surprising, that tourism in Spain is becoming more and more popular. Every year Spain is visited by 45-50millions of tourists. This number is much bigger than the population of Spain! What attracts people to Spain? Of course, the Mediterranean Sea, historical landmarks and the ancient cities, such as Andalusia, Seville, Madrid and Barcelona (which is one of the most beautiful cities and the biggest ports in the Mediterranean Sea). Spain is a paradise corner, that hasn’t been spoiled yet by lots of hotels and tourists. This country is famous for its magical olive trees. Spaniards produce and sell olive oil of the highest quality. Bull fights are the part of every Spaniard’s live. Every person in this fascinating country dreams about a job of a matador, but it’s a very hard work. To be a matador you have to be very tall and desperately courageous. Professional matadors exercise every day since their early childhood and study in a special school of matadors in Seville. People from different corners of the world come to see such a magnificent show, which coast any money and time. How I wish to look at it one day! Flamenco dances, which came from Arabic, are also the part of Spanish culture. Nobody knows how many years ago it happened, but these dances were immediately loved with all Spaniards hearts and became the national dances of Spain. To understand the beauty and passion of the national dance, you should definitely visit such a spectacular show. One more thing, which makes this country perfect for living, is their national beauty. Spaniards have dark hair, dark eyes, perfect figures and delicate features. Sometimes it’s enough to look at Enrique Iglesias and realize that Spain nation is the most beautiful nation in the world, except for Russian, of course! : ) They are not only beautiful, they are cheerful, friendly and extremely passionate as well. I think these qualities make them so attractive. They like carnivals, traditional music and dances, evening walks through the main streets of their cities and villages. They are proud of their football team, which became the best team in Europe due to Euro 2008. For me Spain is a country of my Dream, which allures me by its unopened secrets and passionate people. One day will have become the happiest person in the world, when I’ll visit the country of my Dream! : )
Согласование времен в английском языкеХарактерная особенность английского языка заключается в так называемом согласовании времён: время глагола придаточного предложения зависит от времени главного предложения.Правило согласования времён представляет особую трудность, когда сказуемое главного предложения выражено глаголом в одной из форм времени.В этом случае в придаточных предложениях не могут употребляться формы настоящего и будущего времени глаголов, хотя речь идёт о действиях, которые совершаются в настоящем или будут совершаться в будущем.Если глагол в главном предложении стоит в одном из времен, то и глагол придаточного предложения должен стоять в одном из времен.В таких случаях правило согласования времен допускает три основных варианта:Если действие в придаточном предложении происходит одновременно с действием в главном предложении, то нужно использовать Past Simple или Past Continuous:They told us, “We are going to the library.” Они сказали нам : «Мы идем в библиотеку».
They told us they were going to the library. Они сказали нам, что идут в библиотеку.Если действие в придаточном предложении предшествует действию в главном предложении, то глагол в придаточном используется в Past Perfect или Past Perfect Continuous:We were told, “It was raining a lot.” Нам сказали: «Было много дождей».
We were told that it had been raining a lot. Нам сказали, что было много дождей.Если действие в придаточном предложении следует после действия в главном, то нужно использовать одно из времен Future-in the-Past:She said: “I will try to get the highest mark on the exam.” Она сказала: «Я постараюсь заработать на экзамене лучшую оценку».
She said she would try to get the highest mark on the exam. Она сказала, что постарается заработать на экзамене лучшую оценку.
